Cairo McLaury (completed)

Chapter 28

Sinundan ng mga mata ni Ishmael ang papalayong si Cairo. Nanatili lamang siyang nakaupo sa loob ng kaniyang sasakyan habang nakahawak anng mahigpit ang kaniyang mga kamay sa manibela ng kaniyang kotse.

She misses the ishmael who stole her first kiss, her voice rang into his ears. As his gaze followed her retreating back until his sapphire blue eyes couldn't see the sight of Cairo anymore.

He misses that too. That kiss may be so swift but it was so mind blowing. And because of that kiss, Cairo was planted in his mind and in his heart.

He turned his head away from the locked door of the cottage and he could see the pain in her eyes through his mind. And he too felt it, fot he too was suffering.

He's in love with her. From the moment she made those sarcastic remarks towards him he knew that he loves her.

But he's the future king. Heavy is the Crown that he will carry on his head when he will become the king of Monte de Oro. His heart belongs to Monte de Oro and its people. And only half of his heart will belongs to the woman that he would marry. And a marriage for a king was not because of love but because of benefit fot both Monte de Oro and Spain.

At naalala niya ang tulong na ibinigay sa kanila ng papa ni Lily. Ang libre at maluwag na pagpapagamit nito ng port para sa cargo ng Monte de Oro para sa basic good ng mamayan ng Monte de oro.

At hindi lamang iyun. Hindi kayang iwan ni Cairo ang Villacenco at ang kailangan niyang reyna ay ang makakasama niya sa kaniyang tabi at maiintindihan ang kaniyang tungkulin na mauuna muna nag kaniyang bansa at nasasakupan bago ang kaniyang puso.

His responsibilities to his country comes first before his. His people's happiness comes first before his. Kaya naman kahit pa ang itinitibok ng kaniyang puso ay si Cairo ay hindi iyun posibleng mangyari.

Kailangan niyang patunayan sa kaniyang abuelo na karapatdapat siya sa trono at isasakripisyo niya ang kaniyang kaligayahan at pag-ibig para sa kaniyang bansa.

Kinagat niya ang kaniyang pang-ibabang labi at gigil niyang minaniubra ang manibela ng kaniyang sasakyan papalayo sa cottage.

Tama ang kaniyang mama. Cairo is special kaya sa cottage ng kaniyang mama niya ito pinatuloy ang kauna-unahang babaeng kaniyang pinatuloy sa loob ng kaniyang estate.

Isang malalim na hininga ang kaniyang hinagap. Ganito rin siguro ang naramdaman ng kaniyang abuelo noong ikasal ito sa babaeng hindi naman nito minahal ngunit kinakailanganpara patatagin ang kanilang kaharian. Minsan dahil sa pagmamahal ay kailangan mong magsakripisyo.

Ipinarada niya ang kaniyang sasakyan at mabigat ang kaniyang loob na bumaba mula rito. He slid his hands inside the front pocket of his trousers as he lamely walked towards the front door of his house.

He pushed open the door, and as anticipated Enrique was inside waiting for his arrival.

"Buenas noches su alteza, cómo estuvo su cena con su mamá?" Enrique greeted him with a question.

"Bien Enrique," ang matipid niyang sagot habang dire-diretso siyang naglakad papasok sa loob ng kaniyang bahay,

"Qué hay de la señorita Cairo?" ang usisa ni Enrique, and he knew that Enrique's interest of Cairo's whereabout is genuine. He thought that Cairo caught Enrique's old heart.

"Ella también se retira en la cabaña." He answered with a wide smile on his face.

Enrique smiled back and nodded his head, "Quiere que le traiga algo, su alteza?"

He stopped on his tracks and turned his head to look at Enrique, He politely shook his head and gave the old butler a smile.

"Ninguno Enrique, gracias, me retiraré ahora a mi habitación," ang kaniyang pamamalaam dito. Bago siya tumango at muling inihakbang niya ang kaniyang mga paa patungo sa kaniyang silid.
