Thirty Eight: Palace Like no Other

-Dasha-

I just feel na parang may lumakas sa loob ko, this feeling wasn't foreign. Parang gamay ko na ang nararamdaman ko ngayon.

I heard Lance na pumasok ng bahay, and hell yeah. I can heard noises with a long distance. I tiptoed at naglakad ng tahimik palabas ng kuwarto. I saw him seated at the sofa. With his phone on his ears.

"Yes Clarina? She's fine...... Me? Ah yes I'm fine..... I miss you too." Sino ba kasi yang Clarina na yan? Miss? The fuck, I'm breaking apart.

"I'll come back as soon as I dumped her." I can almost feel him smile while he said those words. Tear fell one by one pero pinilit ko paring maging tahimik. Dumped who? Ako ba yun? Lance, how could you lie?

"I'll leave her as soon as possible. Dasha would believe everything I say....... Yes, ok see you soon." That popped the questions, Lance didn't love me, and he even calls me Dasha!! Ako nga ba talaga siya?

"Ok, Dasha might be here soon. I'll hung up.... Miss you My Queen." I wiped the tears on my face bago pilit na ngumiti. I walked towards him and hugged him behind.

"Das--Claire, andiyan ka na pala? Kanina ka pa?" Umiling ako bago humiwalay at tinabihan siya sa sofa.

"I just came by, the next day kasi ay may pupuntahan kaming field." Sumandal ako at pinikit ko ang aking mga mata.

"Where?"

"Uhmmmm, sabi sakin ni boss. Vampington daw. Isn't it exciting?" I faked my excitement.

"No hindi ka pupunta!" Minulat ko ang mga mata ko at tinignan siya. Damn his serious.

"I'll go wherever I want, and whenever I want." Tumayo ako, hinawakan naman niya ang pulsuhan ko at tumayo rin.

"Bakit nagbago ka na? Nagiging masagot ka na. Dahil ba sa trabaho mo? Tomorrow morning, I want you to resign that bullshit job!" Kung sa tingin niya ay makokontrol parin niya yung puso ko? Sorry but I'm the Queen.

"I want my work and I want to find out the secrets your hiding from me." Then he slapped me, habang hawak parin niya yung pulsuhan ko. I cried.

I straighten my gesture and get a rid of his hold, which is I did. He look at me with shocked in his face.

"I'm going to Vampington." I coldly said at nagpunta sa kuwarto namin at agad na kinuha ang maleta ko. Nag-empake narin ako as fast as I could.

"Claire please. Wag ka nang magpunta doon. It's dangerous there." I stopped for a while at tinignan siya.

"The only place dangerous is here Lance, with you." When I'm done packing, binaba ko na yung maleta at nagsimula nang maglakad. But before I can exit at the door, hinawakan niya yung braso ko.

I let my red eyes out bago tumingin sa kanya, he really looked shocked. Then I smiled.

"Miss your Queen Lance?" I asked. He took a step back and gaped at me for a while. Then I let my red eyes falter.

"Dasha." Bulong niya, I clenched my fist.

"Yes my dear, ako si Dasha na tinago niyo sa kaharian ko. Then lied on my past? How dare you! Kayong lahat nila Jane, when I get back to my throne? I'll make sure you'll die." Naglakad na ako palabas ng bahay, glad he didn't make an effort to follow and stop me.

I looked at my wristwatch at nakitang alas nueve na ng gabi. Madalas ang mga tao ay wala na sa lansangan at nasa mga bahay na. Kaya habang naglalakad ako ay parang pakiramdam ko ay naglalakad ako sa isang ghost town.

I don't have anyone to call. Wala akong ibang kakilala maliban kay Lance, kay sir Xander at kay sir Darryll at ilan sa mga katrabaho--- oo nga! Si Darryll.

Agad akong sumakay ng taxi -glad there was one at mukhang naligaw lang- at nagpahatid ako sa kompanya. Sana hindi pa ako late, sana hindi pa.

Agad akong lumabas at tumakbo papunta sa kompanya. Nasa harapan na ako ng matigil ako. There I saw Darryll walking palabas ng main door ng kompanya, looking at his wristwatch. Nang iangat niya ang tingin niya saakin ay nagulat siya.

Ako nalang yung lumapit sa kanya.

"I must say, kailan tayo pupunta ng Vampington?" I smiled then he returned it back.

"Natakot ako na baka hindi ka na dumating Claire." My heart flatter nang marinig yun mula sa kanya, I gasped a fistful of air bago nagpatuloy.

"Dasha. Call me Dasha." Natawa nalang ako sa sinabi ko.

"So nakakaalala ka na." I shake my head.

"Not all. I remembered everything except.... You." I saw his smiled fainted, pero binalik din ito agad.

"I see. Don't worry, maaalala mo din ako." I saw hope in his eyes, and I really believe him.

"By the way, bakit ganitong oras kang nagpunta dito?" I sigh.

"Pinalayas.... I mean lumayas ako sa bahay namin ni Lance. I just don't want lies anymore. And now, I need a house." He laughed and offered me his hand.

"Stay at my place, dahil nandito ka na. Were going tomorrow." I just suddenly feel excited. Tinanggap ko ito ng nakangiti.

"Maybe they're not going to love me. Because I left them behind." Nag-aalalang sabi ko. He put my luggage at his car's trunk at pinagbuksan ako ng pintuan ng shot gun seat niya.

"They loved you. Alam mo ba kung paano mo sila iniwan?" Umiling ako.

"You left because you wanted them all to be safe, you left them because you know you have me na magpapatakbo ng kaharian. Matalino ka alam mo ba yun?" I somehow feel comfortable.

"That makes sense."
