CHAPTER NINE
SINUNDAN lang nila ng tingin ang Mayordoma ng bahay nang mag paalam ito na sa kusina lang muna at ihahanda ang hapag kainan.
“How did you know it, that man is living next to us?” Minaya is tilting her head side ways to looked at Lancer.
Tumaas pa ang kilay nito sa binata habang inaabangan ang maging sagot nito.
“Are you really certain that his not after Your Grace? Think about it, it was just a week after that incident and now his fully recover and then....” Humarap na ito ng tuluyan. To have a better access to him.
Napapaisip rin ni Maria ang sinabi ni Minaya. Oo nga pala. It just a week or almost two weeks since after that incident. And the funny things was that his actually living next to us!
‘What a kind of joke!’ Maria mentally leered.
Uh, maybe it was really coincidental that he was also living in the same village?
Seryoso lang ng huli na tinapunan ng tingin ang dalaga at bahagyang napangiti ng makitang nag susungit na naman ito sa kanya.
“What...? Aren't you going to answer my question?”
Nakasimangot na ang maamong mukha ni Minaya dito. Na hindi naman talaga nakaligtas sa mata ng dalawa.
Hindi mapigilan ni Maria na mapatitig sa dalawa. Para bang may namamagitan dito. Sa totoo lang ay noon paman ay may nahahalata na siya sa dalawang ito. Pero hindi niya lamang pinapansin. And if they have something in private, it's not her business anyway.
Maria hug the flower vase above her chest while looking at the two in front of her. She smile. Naaliw siya sa nakikita.
Nawala na tuloy ang interesado niyang malaman kong bakit alam ni Lancer na kapitbahay nila ang binata.
“Aunty Ninita said.” Lancer shrugged his shoulder like it wasn't a big deal. “I asked her about the whole village and of course, it's normal for me to seek information about our neighbors, for Your Grace safety and ours.”
“Even our men's already checked this whole village. It's still my duties to secure the place where Your Grace will stay in.”
“And you didn't even have the guts to tell us that you already knew that man.” Minaya even glared at Lancer.
Lancer right hand hold his waist. While on the other hand brush his hair up.
“Look, it's not important. He was just a person we helped before. It‘s—”
“Whatever!” pinutol nito ang dapat na sasabihin pa sana ni Lancer dito. Napaawang na lamang ang bibig ng huli. Walang nagawa.
Halos mapatawa siya ng makitang inirapan ni Minaya ang binata at umalis sa harapan nila at maingat na inilagay ang mga vase sa dapat lalagyan.
“That little devil cat. Tsss.”
And Lancer was just looking at Minaya the whole time she was putting the vase into each table.
“You too look cutes together. You like her. Do you?” Its an statement. And Maria can felt it.
Lancer just looked at her with laziness on his facial expression. Talagang ipinakita sa kanya iyun. Talaga naman! Pero ng si Minaya ang kaharap parang maamong aso.
