Lesson Nine
Misunderstanding
“Okay lang kaya sila do’n?”
- Princess Xanara –
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang marinig ko ang mga boses na papalapit sa kusina. I tried nudging Zero but he won’t get off. Imposible namang makatulog siya di ba? Haler? Kahoy ‘tong upuan at kahit pa sa balikat ko siya nakasandal at talagang nakayakap sa buong katawan ko eh mahirap pa ring matulog ng ganitong posisyon.
“Zero ano ba? Adik ka ba?”
NR. Seriously?
“Xanara? Yuhooo? Where art thou?”
Papalapit na sila ng papalapit. Hudas ka talaga, Zero. Siguradong lagot na naman ako neto eh. TT0TT
“Xan— Oh gosh!”
Ayan na nga ba sinasabi ko. -____-
I was dead startled when they began scanning what they saw. Zero wasn’t even moving. Jeez. What exactly is wrong with this person?
“Uhm… should we… leave the two of you?”
“Oh thank you for suggesting that, Naya. =___= Pakitawag na rin si Cyrus kung nasa’ng lupalop man siya nagsuot.”
“Okay.” Then they silently left us. Si Cheen ngumiti pa sa akin at nag-wink bago lumayas.
Alam ko namang kalahati sa kanila eh ayaw kay Zero. It should be Divina and Naya who does hate him. Kreya know nothing about it. And it really annoys me na pati sila eh nakikisawsaw sa debate ng mga magulang ko tungkol sa kung sinong pwedeng mag-bantay sa akin.
Mukha ba akong bata or whatever close to that para mag-react sila ng gano’n? -___-++
“Xanara.” Cyrus appeared on the kitchen curtain. “Trouble?”
“I think Zero fell asleep.”
Napakunot ang noo niya. Lumapit siya sa kinauupuan namin ni Zero. Humawak siya sa may bandang leeg ng kapatid niya and I just stared at him in confusion.
“What’s the matter, manyak?”
“Did he encountered a hunter?”
I started panicking. I looked at Zero’s sleeping face and it wasn’t good. Evidently, there’s something bad that he’s feeling. What could’ve happened that I missed?
