AFTER last night na umuwi sila ni Raiden sa mansyon nito ay hinatid siya nito sa guest room kung saan iniwan siya at hinayaan na magpahinga. Well pagkatapos ni Ali na humiga sa kama ay kaagad siyang nakatulog. Tapos eto siya ngayon kakagising lang dahil sa paninikip ng dibdib niya. Alam niya ang ganitong pakiramdam, alam niyang nahihirapan si Lien sa loob niya and she wanted to talk to her.
Kaya mabilis na tumayo si Ali sa higaan niya at dumiretso sa salamin kung saan kaharap ang sarili tsaka sinugatan ng maliit ang pulsuhan. After a few seconds ramdam niya ang pagbuo ng dragon scale sa kaliwang bahagi ng mukha niya at pagkakaroon ng dragon eyes.
"Get out from this house, Ali. You are not safe with them."
Seryosong babala ni Lien kay Ali na ikinakunot ng noo niya dala ng pagtataka.
"Bakit naman? They are the deities, I'm sure safe ako sakanila. What's wrong, Lien?" Alalang tanong ni Ali at ilang minuto din itong natahimik.
Tatanungin niya sana ito ulit nang kusang nawala ang dragon scale at dragon eyes sa katawan niya. Nilayasan na siya ni Lien.
And at her surprise padabong na bumukas ang pintuan ng kwaro niya kaya kaagad siyang napaharap sa kung sino man ang marahas na nag bukas ng pintuan, it's the 4 deities at mukhang may hinahanap ang mga ito at alarmado.
"What's wrong?" Alalang tanong ni Ali at napatingin ang mga ito sakaniya tsaka lumapit si Raiden sakaniya.
"Did someone enter this room aside from you?" Seryosong tanong nito kay Ali. Napakunot naman ang noo ni Ali sa tanong nito, did they sense Lien?
"No. Why?" Pag deny kaagad ni Ali at lumapit naman si Seina sakaniya at mukhang inoobserbahan siya.
"It's weird. I can't see right through you. Are you sure na wala nang pumuntang iba dito?"
"No, Seina. Ako lang ang nandito."
"Did we sense it wrong?" Alalang tanong ni Caden at napatingin naman ang lahat sakaniya.
"Baka nga. Tara lumabas na tayo at baka naiistorbo natin si Ali." Sabi naman ni Kai at naunang lumabas, weird. As if he wanted to say something pero pinipigilan niya lang ang sarili. Sumunod naman ang tatlo sakaniya at eto siya naiwan na natulala at nagulat sa mga pangyayare.
Kaya ba hindi na siya sinagot ni Lien kanina dahil naramdaman nito na paparating ang apat? She hid herself? Mabuti na rin yun, para hindi malalagay sa panganib ang buhay ni Ali dala ang pagtataglay niya ng kakaibang kapangyarihan.
"I Swear. I sensed her." Seryosong sabi ni Raiden habang nakaupo silang apat sa kwarto niya. Nilagyan niya din ng barrier ang kwarto niya para walang makarinig sa pinaguusapan nilang apat.
"Di lang naman ikaw, Rai. Lahat tayo." Seryosong sabi ni Seina.
"It's weird, hindi ko nakikita kung ano ang nasa loob ng dugo ni Alina. Kung ano ang element na taglay niya. It feels like something powerful is blocking our sight about who she really is." Seryosong sabi ni Seina.
"Ako rin, hindi ko rin nababasa ang nasa isipan niya na parang naitatago niya kung ano ang iniisip niya." Sabi naman ni Raiden.
"Alam niyo, kayong dalawa...masyado kayong usisero at usisera. Malay nyo, there's something special within Ali na hindi natin nakikita. I mean, maybe she's gifted?"
Nakangiting sabi ni Caden para pagaanin ang sitwasyon na ikina irap nilang tatlo.
"Special my ass. Baka naman she's powerless just like the 2 reincarnation she had for the last 100 years." Seryosong sabi ni Kai.
Right, they were watching that woman's reincarnation for the past 100 years. For her first reincarnation and second reincarnation, she just lived for about 50 years each. And now as her 3rd reincarnation, he bet that she will live another 50 years. That's her punishment in her past life after committing a serious crime.
"That's why we should keep an eye on her...hindi pa natin nalalaman kung ano ang meron sakaniya and why we strongly sensed her presence whenever she's around. As well as...keep her safe." Sabi ni Raiden at tumango naman ang mga kasamahan bilang pagsang ayon. This woman in this era is different, he sense something big within her pero he can't identify kung ano.
ALI heard a knock in her room's door kaya naman ay pinagbuksan niya kung sino man ito and it was Seina.
"Hi Ali, would you like to help me cook lunch for everyone? Hindi kasi makakatulong ang kahit na isa sakanila since they are having a meeting." Nakangiting sabi ni Seina at ngumiti naman si Ali bilang pagsagot.
"Sure po."
Kaagad silang bumaba ni Seina at dumiretso sa kitchen, siya ang naghihiwa ng mga gulay habang si Seina ang nagtitimpla ng niluluto nito. They were cooking silently until Seina talked.
"So, Ali...what are your hobbies?" Tanong nito sakaniya at napa ayos naman ng tayo si Ali bago sinagot ang babae.
"I like reading books, exercise, as well as swimming." Simpleng sagot ni Ali
"Wow, you also like swimming? Gusto ko rin yan. We have something in common naman pala."
Kinuha naman nito ang gulay mula kay Ali tsaka nilagay na sa niluluto nito.
"Modeling lang ang work mo?" Tanong nito sakaniya at tumango naman si Ali bilang pag sagot. "How about your parents? Nasaan sila?" Tanong nito sakaniya at natigilan naman si Ali doon. Her parents?
She just smiled sadly "They died when I was young"
Natigilan naman si Seina at mukhang nagulat ito sa narinig.
"I'm so sorry Ali. Hindi ko alam."
"It's ok, Seina. Nasanay naman ako eh and I don't have a memory on how they died. All I know is that...we were traveling and the next thing I knew, nagising nalang ako nasa hospital bed na ako." Magaan na sabi ni Ali kahit na napakasakit ito para sakaniya. Well...she doesn't have a choice. It is better na sabihin niya ito kahit kanino to feel better and heal from her lost.
"Did you investigate about what happend?" Tanong ni Seina kay Ali at kaagad naman siyang napa iling.
"No, I haven't. Wala akong kakayahan para tignan ang nangyare, I have to live on my own even if there is no purpose to live for. I had to become strong and independent as well as move forward. Because there's something is telling me that in the end, I might find something for me." Matipid na nakangiti si Ali kay Seina and at her surprise, niyakap siya nito. Ang gaan sa pakiramdam habang kayakap niya si Seina kay napangiti naman ng malawak si Ali.
"I am proud of you, Ali. I'm sure your parents are proud of you as well."
