Code Name: ATHENA (GXG)

Capitulo XL - Sol Y Venus

Amber

"Amber Sun. Itigil mo yang bunganga mo." Siko sakin ni Aunt Sarah pero hindi ko sya pinansin at diretso pading naka-tingin kay Athena.

"Lavigne, Dupont and Maxwell you can go now. Bradford-Clarkson and Shadows please stay." She coldly stated as she turn her back at us, frustratedly put her hand on her head as if she's massaging it atsaka nakapamewang na humarap sa white wall na nasa likuan ng upuan nila.

"Thank you Queen" They all said in unison, sabay sabay pang nagtayuan at lumabas ng kwarto. I even saw Vee worriedly looking at Athena's back. She gave me a weak smile when she noticed that I was looking at her. Agad akong napayuko ng ngitian nya ko. I feel the guilt when I put her on the spotlight kanina.. nabigla lang din naman ako sa nakita ko at hindi sinasadyang napalakas na pala yung boses ko.. I sighed..

"Amber! Anong pumasok sa kokote mo bata ka bakit ka sumagot sagot kay Lorraine kanina?!" Nagising ako sa pagbubunga ni Aunt Sarah sa gilid ko. Napaangat ang tingin ko sa harapan ko. Lahat sila ay nakatingin na sakin, waiting for my explanation. Teka bakit parang kasalanan ko pa?!

"She said that the engagement is in progress even though we're not really talking about it yet. Why are you lying again Athena?!" I angrily said at her back. I heard her sighed deeply pero hindi parin humaharap saamin.

"Sun. Can we talk in private?" She asked as she slowly turn her face back to us pero diretso lang syang naka-tingin sa lamesang napapagitnaan naming dalawa.

"Ayaw mo na bang ituloy yung engagement? Why? Because you like Vee now?!" Agad kong naiyukom ang kamao ko na nasa ibabaw ng tuhod ko. I bit my lip right after ng ma-realize ko yung mga pinagsasabi ko. Shit.. that's not what I was planning to say..

"Cynthia, Sarah, Mika and David.. let's give them privacy." The tall man with a deep voice wearing a face mask said that atsaka diretsong tumingin saakin. Gusto kong kainin ng lupa as I got scared by just looking back on his eyes.

"Teka what about me??" Kels grunted

"Stay. Fix your own mess." The tall man responded atsaka tumayo at diretsong naglakad palabas ng board room. Aunt Cynthia looked back us at habang naka sunod padin sa likod nung matangkad na lalaki.

"Zurrie!" Aunt Cynthia shouted

"What mom? I want to stay with Prima too." Iritableng sagot ni Zurrie as she placed her arms at the back of his head and crossed her legs freely.

"Sun.." Athena softly called me. Para kong nabato sa kinauupuan ko ng tawagin nya ang pangalan ko. She's now looking at me straight in my eyes.. Her eyes soften as I stare back at her face. Pero agad ding napalitan ng inis ang nararamdaman ko sa mga susunod nyang sinabi.

"I was planning the continuation of the engagement for you and Koleen.. I will be updating the papers for the both—-"

"Why are you updating it? Koleen and I are no longer together and I already know everything!" I grunt. I thought this is what she wanted.. what changed Athena? Bakit pinapamigay mo ko?!
