May mga dumating na bisita ngayon sa Museum. Sinabi agad sa kanya ng kaibigang si Michael na dumating si Lord Clyden of Versailles. Marami rin tong kasama kaya tumulong na si Zera sa pag-estima sa mga bisita.
Lord Clyden is a man that must have been on his late 50's. Mukha talaga itong kagalang-galang ng makita ni Zera. Unti unti ay nasasanay na siya sa presensya ng mga importanteng tao sa lipunan.
Nag-iikot si Zera ng mga sandaling iyon ng may Biglang humawak sa braso niya.
"A-Amelia...?" Sambit ni Lord Clyden ng hawalan nito si Zera at titig na titig dito na tila maiyak-iyak ang mga mata.
"Désolé mon seigneur... Mais vous avez dû vous tromper... (Sorry my lord... But you must have been mistaken...)" Sambit ni Zera na tila natakot ng hawakan siya nito.
"Amelia... Tu es là... C'est toi Amelia (Amelia... You're here... Is that you Amelia)" pilit pa rin ni Lord Clyden na hawak pa rin ang braso ni Zera.
"Non mon seigneur... Je m'appelle Zera... s'il vous plait lâchez prise... (No my lord...My name is Zera...please let go)" Sambit ni Zera na natatakot na dito.
"Obtenez vos mains sales d'elle ou je vais m'assurer que vous n'aurez pas de main à l'aube! (Get your filty hands of her or I will make sure you will have no hand by dawn)" galit na galit na Sigaw ni Andrew ng makita niyang tila natatakot si Zera.
Nagulat naman ang lalaki at biglang binitawan ang braso ni Zera ng makita si Andrew.
" Your Highness duke Andrew... Forgive me for what I have Done... "Sambit ni Lord Clyden ng makitang galit na galit si Andrew.
He is used to the Duke having no reaction at all but seeing him like this would send shiver to anyone.
Si Zera naman ay nagulat sa nakita. Titig na titig ito kay Andrew who is now holding her hand as he take her away from Lord Clyden. She haven't seen this side of him. If looks could kill the man would have been dead by now.
"Cache-toi avant que je te blesse pour avoir touché Zera.(Get the hell out of sight before I hurt you for touching Zera.)"Matigas na Sambit ni Andrew mababakas sa mukha ni Andrew na sobra galit.
" Je ne voulais aucun mal Votre Altesse. (I didn't mean any harm Your highness.) "Paliwanag ni Lord Clyden pero nasigawan lang siya ni Andrew galit na galit.
" J'ai dit dégage de ma vue espèce de bâtard! (I said get the hell out of my sight you bastard!)" Galit na bulyaw ni Andrew pero inawat na siya ni Zera.
" Calm down... Andrew... I'm not hurt... Just let it go..." Sambit ni Zera sabay hawak sa braso nito.
Tila naman kumalma at nawala ang galot ni Andrew.
" Sorry Zera... Did I scared you? "Tanong ni Andrew na nag aalala para kay Zera.
Umiling lang si Zera at bahagyang ngumiti. Binalingan naman ni Andrew ang kanyang mga security.
" Escortez Lord Clyden hors du musée maintenant. Je ne le veux pas près de Zera.(Escort Lord Clyden out of the museum now. I don't want him near Zera.)"Matigas na utos ni Andrew sa kanyang tauhan at inilabas na nila si Lord Clyden.
" You shouldn't have Andrew... He's a guest in the museum. "Sambit ni Zera.
" I told you... I will not let anyone hurt you.... "Sambit ni Andrew.
"He's calling me Amelia, he must have just mistaken me for someone else." Sambit ni Zera.
"Even though Zera... He shouldn't have done that..." Sambit ni Andrew.
"Don't be like that Andrew... No matter what he still deserve to be respected. One single action will not define a man." Sambit ni Zera.
"I'm sorry my lady... I will put that in mind... But the way you think makes you more a lot like my mother...." Sambit ni Andrew na nakangiti na.
"And why is that your highness...?" Tanong ni Zera.
"She will scold me like a child if she saw that..." Sambit ni Andrew bago mapatawa.
"I didn't..." depensa ni Zera.
"Yes you did my lady." Sambit ni Andrew na natatawa pa rin.
Ngunit natatawang inirapan ni Zera at akmang tatalikuran.
"You didn't just do that to me my lady." Sambit ni Andrew patungkol sa pag irap nito.
"I just did...." pang aasar ni Zera.
"Well... I can punish you for doing that..." Sambit ni Andrew.
"And what would I get for my punishment..." Tanong ni Zera testing Andrew's patience.
"This..." Sambit ni Andrew saka hinila si Zera and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
Nabigla si Zera sa ginawa ni Andrew kaya hindi ito nakapag salita.
"Always remember Zera... I'm here and I will protect you..." Sambit ni Andrew.
Naging laman naman ng balita ang naging pag tatalo ni Lord Clyden at Duke Andrew kaya ngayon ay ang ama na ang nagpatawag sa kanya.
"Father... I'm here..." Sambit ni Andrew ng makaharap na ang ama.
"What is the meaning of this Andrew?" Tanong naman ng ama ni Andrew ng ipakita nito ang hawak na pahayagan.
"That bastard has been ill-mannered that day Father..." Sambit ni Andrew.
"Watch your word Andrew..." Sambit ng ama ni Andrew.
"Zera is hurt... Andshe already look so scared. I would have given him a beating if she allowed me too." Sambit ni Andrew.
"So.... Her name is Zera... Is this the lady who have made you human?" Tanong naman ng ama ni Andrew.
"Father!" Sambit ni Andrew at doon naman napatawa ang ama niya.
"Let me guess? Did she scold you son...?" Sambit ng ama niya na natatawa pa rin.
Hindi naman sumagot si Andrew dahil napapahiya siya sa ama. He's not use to be this way.
"I guess the answer is yes..." Sambit ng ama ni Andrew napahalakhak na.
"What are you laughing about father?" Sambit ni Andrew na nahihiya sa ama.
"Marry her Andrew... Look what I did... I married your mother and I have become a better man." Makahulugan Sambit ng ama ni Andrew imbis na sagutin ito.
"She must really be something Andrew... Look at you, you're smiling, your laughing... And you have grown a heart." Sambit ng ina ni Andrew na nakapasok na pala sa opisina ng ama.
She means everything mother... I will do anything you win her heart.... "Sambit ni Andrew who is very serious in making her fall in love with him.
Napangiti na lang ang mag asawa sa nakikita. They can sense happiness around Andrew.
