Third Gen. Series #2: The Lost Prince (COMPLETED)

Chapter 10

Ash's POV

I can't keep myself from grinning after I found out that Caius is in love. Well, hindi pa naman ako sigurado, pero di ba ganun din ang sabi sakin nun ni Kuya Asena?

We're at the dining having our family dinner when my sister spoke.

"Ash? You're grinning ear to ear, di ka ba nangangalay?" tanong ni Ate.

"I'm fine, Ate.."

I glance at Caius sitting beside me. He glared at me. If looks could kill I'd probably dead by now.

Nung isinigaw ko kanina habang tumatakbo ako papunta kay Mama na in-love si Caius, hinabol niya ako at ni-wrestling ako.

Mukhang napansin naman ni Ate ang tinginan namin ni Caius kaya nagsalita ulit siya.

"Anong itinatago ninyong dalawa, ha?"

"It's nothing important.." Caius answered.

"Oh yes, Aria. Tumawag si Lance kanina, he's asking what did her daughters do when you're at the mall. You're with them earlier right?" tanong sa kanya ni Papa.

"Opo, si Skuld kasi ang nagyaya. May mall tour daw po kasi yung artista na crush niya. Madaming tao, so the sisters got lost."

"What? Sa tandang yun ni Belldandi nawala pa siya?" I said, almost laughing.

"Not totally, nahiwalay kasi samin si Urd--"

*cough cough*

We all look at Caius nung bigla siyang nasamid.

"Hey? You, okay?" I asked and rubbed his back. Agad naman siyang binigyan ng tubig ni Mama.

"Thanks..*cough*.. Tita." he took the glass and drink. "I'm fine, Ash. Thanks.."

But then, I notice his ears turning red.

"Caius? Are you blushing?"

"Wha-!"

"Seriously?! Caius?!" my sister leaned forward to peek at his face.

"H-Hey! Leave me alone! Ash is the one who's in love with Megane.."

"It's Megumi, at wag mong ipasa sakin ang topic! Come on, Caius!"

Kinukulit namin siya ni Ate, hanggang sa nagsalita si Papa.

"So, Ash. Who's this Megumi?"

Natigilan ako. Uh-oh. Si Ate at Kuya Asena pa nga lang pala ang nakakaalam tungkol sa kanya. Nilingon ko sila Ate at nakangisi sila sa akin ni Kuya Asena. Tinignan ko si Caius at ganun din siya.

"Tsk, ang ingay mo Caius..."

"You're the one who started it."

Kuya Asena, who's been quiet up until now suddenly open his mouth.

"By any chance, Caius. Are you in-love with Urd?"

"What?!" sabay sabay na reaksyon namin.

"You reacted that way when Aria mentioned Urd's name.." dagdag pa niya.

"W-wait!" Y-you know Urd?" Caius asked.

"Of course we know her. Siya ang bunso sa kambal ni Tito Lance at Tita Belle.." sagot ko sa kanya.

"Kaya pala ang sabi ni Belldandi at Skuld kanina, may lalaki daw na kasama si Urd nung hinahanap nila ito. Kung ganun ikaw pala yun?" sabi ni Ate habang namimilog ang mga mata niya.

Caius glared at me. "Ash, I swear I will kill you!"

"What? Why me? Si Kuya Asena ang nagsabi hindi ako!" nilingon ko si Kuya Asena. "But Kuya, you're very sharp to notice quickly that Caius is in love with Urd."
