Chapter 18

Lucy POV

My mother really brought Arthur. I though just one day, I could be away from that little evil.

I can't help but frown when I remember that it also my fault why he is with us. Kung hindi ko sana siya pinigilan umalis ay di sila magkikita ni Yelena at hindi ko siya makakasama ng buong araw.

Grandpa bring us to Balencia Building. Buhat buhat niya pa rin kami na parang ayaw pa niya kaming ibaba pagkarating namin.

Nagtatampo niya kaming ibinaba sa upuan at iniwan muna kami. Magkatabi si Ina at Arthur sa upuan. Magkatabi naman kami ni Lucifer.

"Here's your order ma'am," my grandpa said as he arrive and putting five plates on the table that have one slice of cake each.

"Thank you grandpa!" Kumikinang ang mga mata ni Lucifer habang nakatingin sa cake na nasa kanyang harapan.

Being commoner limit us from buying luxury foods. Kasama na doon ang cake. Kaya laking tuwa ni Lucifer na nakakain na naman siya matamis na pagkain. Kahit hindi ko hilig kumain ng matamis ay paunti-unti ko rin kinain ang cake dahil nakakasawa rin kumain ng palaging maalat sa training camp.

Habang kumakain ako ay pinapanood ko si Lucifer na masayang kumakain. Punong-puno ng dumi ang kanyang mukha mula sa icing ng cake. He so starve for many days the way he eats. I saw the old man chuckling while watching his grandson eat his slice of cake too.

Then, my gaze shifted to mother. She's smiling watching us eating our food. When our eyes met, she smile at me that send warm to my heart.

"Want some, Lucy?" tanong ni Yelena at tinulak sa akin ang platito niya.

Umiling ako.

"No but it seem like my brother still hungry," I said and look at my brother who look disappointed while staring at his clean plates and the old man plates.

He already done eating two slice of cake. His eyes burst into joy when mother give her share to him.

"How was it, my little Prince?" My mother said as she lean forward pinch Lucifer not-so-chubby-cheeks.

"It's delicious mom! I want to to eat food like this in the training camp!" He beam as he eat.

"Why? Does the food inside the camp taste awful?" My mother asked.

He shook his head,"No. But sometimes it taste awful because we always ate the same food."

Napatango na lamang ako. Nakakasawa na palagi kumain ng sopas o di kaya inihaw na karne. It's either of the two is our daily food. Sometimes I don't eat and just drink water to survive. Kahit masarap ang pagkain kung paulit ulit naman itong kakainin ay nakakasuka at nakakasawa.

"How about you, Lucy? How are you inside the training camp?" She says as she stare at me waiting for my response.

"It's okay. I enjoy my training. . ." Then I tell her about all of the thing we do inside.  But I describe it simply to her because she might collapse if I tell her that we fought some baby monster.

And we almost died because of the little child besides her. While telling our training, I sometimes steal glances at Arthur. Everytime I glance at him, he would avoid his gaze and silently eat his food.

Hindi nagtagal ay dumating si Leonel. I almost forgot that he own this building. As soon as he spotted us, he smile widely at us and greet everyone.

"Good day Aunt Yelena, Grandpa, Lucy and Lucifer. And Good day too Sir Arthur," he greeted everyone which didn't surprise me since he know us and we know him.
