Nefeli: The Reincarnated Villainess

Kabanata Cuarenta

Nefeli's Pov

Dinala ako ni Osiris, o mas tamang sabihin, ni Valtor sa Ehiptous. He teleported inside his room, at pabagsak akong idiniposito sa kama niya. Tumalbog ang katawan ko gawa ng malabot na kama.

Akmang tatayo ako paalis nang kama, pero hindi ko natuloy nang bigla siyang pumatong sa ibabaw ko at ipinako ang dalawang kamay ko sa ibabaw ng ulo ko.  Habang ang malaya niya kamay ay nasa leeg ko— his fingers laced on my neck, choking me with enough force not to suffocate me.

Tinampal ko ang dibdib niya, tinulak ko siya pero matigas siya. He's too strong physically compared to my small body.

"Bakit ngayon ka lang Nefeli?" Pero nagulat ako nang marinig ko ang pag-crack ng boses niya habang binibitawan niya ang mga salitang 'yon.

His eyes glistened, he's holding back his emotions to erupt. But I bet he's not that good to hide those. Nakikita ko ang pangungulila at pagtatampo sa mga mata niya.

Gone the coldness. Gone the mischief. Gone the hard Osiris that I've known.

And back to my soft fragile and playful frenemy, Valtor.

"I'm so sorry Val. I don't have any good reason to make you feel good."

"That's okay." He softly said. Binitawan niya narin ang mga kamay ko at niyakap ang mga braso niya sa katawan ko.

"I'm happy you're now here with me.. please don't leave me again like that. I.. I might go insane butterfly.. please." Nagmamakaawang aniya at ibinaon ang mukha niya sa pagitan ng leeg at balikat ko.

I feel him inhaling my scent and his body relaxing on top of me.

I lace my arm on him and played with his hair. I also shower his head with small kisses and tightly hugged him.

"Comeback with me to Valhalla Val.." wika ko.

"I can't." He rose his head to look at me. There is something that he wants to tell me, I could see it on his eyes, but something's holding him back.

"Bakit hindi? This world is all fictional Val. You don't belong here. To Valhalla, that's where you truly belong. With me, with all of the gods like us." I tried to reasoned out. Making sense. Hoping it will change his mind.

"May hindi ka sinasabi sa akin. Is there something wrong?" I put out my thoughts to him.

Umalis siya sa ibabaw ko at naupo sa gilid ng kama. Bumangon ako at lumuhod sa likos niya, I back hug him and put my chin on his shoulder.

"Hindi na maibabalik pa sa dati ang mundong 'to Nefeli."

"Hmm. Tell me more. Make me understand the reason why you can't leave this world Val.." udyok ko sakanya.

He held my arm embracing his body and gently caresses it. I feel his aura calming down. The gloomy aura that represents his worries.

"Kronus is here."

Sandali akong natigilan at hindi nakaimik nang banggitin ni Valtor ang pangalan ng hari ng mga titan.

"Nandito si Krunos.. ngunit paanong napadpad siya sa mundong ito?"

Umalis ako sa kama at tumayo sa harap ng nakaupong si Valtor.

We stared at each other.

"He's looking for the the key that will open the portal going to the human world.."

"WHAT?" Nagulantang ako sa nalaman. Naghuhurumentado ang dibdib ko sa tensyon na namumuo sa sistema ko.

Val pull me onto his lap and snake his arms on my waist. He rested his chin on my shoulder.
