Chapter Twenty-Five

Chapter Twenty-Five

"I already knew about your side of the story. Yesterday, Davina told me everything that really happened. About Marion: About him and Geno. About what he did to you. That's why you don't have to be afraid of me, son. I'm on your side. Me and your Tito, Damian. For now, I want you to go with the flow. Let my dumb son realize that what he's been cherishing was just a waste of his time. And that what he let go of was the real deal all this time."

"Later, Nanny will tell you something...I kind of hate the idea, but I think that this is going to be the best for you. Be patient, Eugene."

Tuluyan akong natuliro sa sinabing 'yon ni Tita Esther sa akin, habang ako'y niyayakap niya kahapon. Hindi ko inaasahan na alam na niya ang lahat at ang buong kuwento. Buong akala ko ay, nanahimik lamang talaga si Davina at wala siyang pinagsabihan. Hanggang sa nagulat nalang ako sa sinabi at ipinarating sa akin ni Tita Esther. Na halos hindi talaga ako makagalaw.

At hindi lamang 'yon, Nanny Yor also knew about it, and that just made me happier than ever. Kaya naman kahapon, sa oras na makatapos ako sa aking pag-iimpake, kaagad kong tinawagan si Davina gamit ang cellphone ni Nanny.

I asked for her whereabouts on the other line even though I was pretty sure that she was just at her house, maybe sleeping or resting. It makes me feel guilty a bit, actually. But I can't just let this go. I need to thank her more properly before I go.

Kaya naman sa oras na nasabi niya sa akin ang kaniyang kinaroroonan kahapon sa aming usapan, kaagad akong nagtungo sa isang parlor shop. Dahil ang sabi niya ay kasalukuyan siyang nandoon.

Mali ako ng akala, ngunit hindi ko na 'yon ininda at kaagad na nagtungo sa kung nasaan ang babaeng alpha. Pagkatapos kong mag-paalam sa mga tao sa mansion, umalis na ako.

At nang ako'y makarating sa sinasabi ni Davina na parlor kahapon, kaagad akong napaisip at napahinto mismo doon sa harap ng gusali. If she was here, then does that mean she's getting her hair cut?

Well of course! Iyon lang naman ang pwedeng dahilan ng kaniyang pagtungo rito! Ngunit pwede rin namang nagpakulay lamang siya, pero maganda naman na ang kaniyang natural na buhok. And werewolves rarely get their hair color changed.

Pero what if, 'di ba?

I was just about to push the door open of the fancy parlor shop when someone immediately pulled it from the inside of the said shop.

"You've been staring at the door for quite too long now. What are you hesitating for?"

Halos mapaigtad ako nang biglang magsalita si Davina sa aking harapan. Kaagad akong nag-angat ng tingin sa babaeng alpha, ngunit kaagad na nanlaki ang aking mga mata sa oras na makita ang kaniyang itsura. At pakiramdam ko'y kamuntikan na talagang sumayad ang aking baba sa may lapag.

I was too shocked and stunned to speak.

Yesterday's meeting with Davina was so wholesome and somehow a bit... different. Dahil sa tuwing titingin ako sa maikling buhok ni Davina, na noon ay umaabot pa hanggang sa kaniyang siko, ay ngayon hanggang leeg na lamang niya kahapon noong nagkita kami.

She cut her hair short that it surprised me truly. Bagay naman sa kaniya, kaya nga lang ay sobra akong naninibago. I tried to ask her why she did it, but she just gave me a tight-lipped smile and shrugged her shoulders. Naintindihan ko kaagad na hindi siya komportable na sagutin ang aking tanong, kaya hindi na ako nagpumilit pa.

Pagkatapos ko nalang sabihin sa kaniya ang tungkol sa mga pinlano ni Tita Esther at Nanny Yor, sabihin na rin natin na kasali rito si Desmond, ay kaagad ko nang tinapos ng maayos ang aming usapan. I ended our meet-up with me giving her a kiss on her cheek.
