When the Amazona Fell in Love

CHAPTER 21✔

Jellal's POV

I can't take my eyes off her. Hindi ko magawang basahin ang iniisip nya.

Pero bakit? Bakit may gustong pumatay sa kanya? At sino?

Kung ganon, pareho lang pala kami ng sitwasyon. Someone's after my life too. Minus the mafia thing, of course. My case and hers is a totally different story.

"Dito na ako."

I stopped the car. Tsaka lumabas sya.

"Salamat pala Jel----."

*Bang*

The fuck! My reflexes told me to protect Erza, so I did. Niyakap ko sya at yumuko kaming dalawa.

I started the engine at nagsimulang magdrive ng mabilis. Damn! Sino bang nagbababaril sa amin?

"Erz----"

"Stop the car!" May awtoridad nyang sabi.

"What the fuck are you thinking? Nababal----"

"I SAID STOP THE CAR!!!"

Sigaw nya pero hindi ko sya pinansin. Why would I do that? Sobrang delikado.

"Jellal ano ba? Ako ang pakay nila kaya haharapin ko sila. Ayokong may madamay!"

*Creeecckkkk"

I stopped the car harshly. Lumingon ako sakanya and glared. Stubborn woman.

"Ano bang magagawa mo? Gusto mo bang mamatay ng walang kalaban-laban?" Bulyaw ko kaya napatungo sya.

"Mamatay na kung mamatay. Wala akong pakealam."

Mahina nyang sabi at kasabay nun ang paglabas nya sa kotse ko. Dammit! Ano ba talagang nangyayari? Sino ka ba talaga, Erza Scarlet?

**
Pinuntahan ko ang condo ni Natsu. Gray's there, for sure. Palagi yung tumatambay dun. He probably sleeps there sometimes.

"Yow!"

Tumango ako kay Natsu at sumunod na sakanya sa loob. Gray's really here, as I expected.

"Are you two in a relationship? Live in partners, perhaps?"

"What the fvck?" Sabay nilang bulyaw sakin. I laughed at their reaction.

"Si Gray kasi, ang hilig tumambay dito." Umupo ako sa couch at binuksan ang tv. I scanned for an interesting channel pero wala akong mahanap. I settled for HBO instead.

"You know how much I hate staying at home. Dad's there and I can't stand him fighting with mom." Walang ganang sabi ni Gray. I can hear bitterness on his voice. He hates his dad that much, huh?

"I know that. Binibiro lang kita."

"Tss."

"Saan ka naman galing, Jellal?" Natsu asked.

Naalala ko bigla ang nangyari kanina. That reckless woman. Kung anu-ano nalang ang naiisip. Ang hilig nyang ipahamak ang sarili nya.

"Somewhere." I shrugged the topic off. "By any chance, do you know someone named Erza Scarlet?"

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako nagtanong. I'm just bothered, maybe.

"Who is she? Are you hitting on that woman, huh?"

"Maganda ba? Hot? Sexy?"

I glared at them. Hindi man lang matanong ng matino. Mga abnormal talaga, kahit kailan.

"Nevermind."

"O c'mon, Jellal! Spill."
Pagpupumilit ni Natsu. Tumabi sya sakin at ngingiti-ngiting tumingin. Pati si Gray, nakatuon ang buong atensyon sakin. I guess their curiosity is really killing them.

"I told you, it's nothing."

"It's the first time you mentioned a woman's name to us, Jellal. She's really something."

Hindi ko pinansin ang sinabi ni Gray. May naisip akong maaaring mapagtanungan.

"I'm going."

Paalam ko at tumayo na. I heard their grunts while I am turning my back on them. Talagang interesado sila, huh? Tsk! As if magkukwento ako. No fvking way.

"Ang unfair mo Jellal! Iniiwasan mo lang yung topic eh!"

"We'll know about her! Beware!"

I raised my hand and slightly waved habang nakatalikod ako palabas. "Don't ever try it."
