(POV Tristan)
Something is bothering Eliana and I can feel it. It may be related to the Stygian Sphere na sinabi ni Gwenevere, but I can feel sorrow emanating from her.
"Eliana, did you discover something when we were in the Luna Hall during our dinner?" tanong ko kay Eliana.
Nakaupo siya sa ibabaw ng kama pero nakatulala lang siya. Mukhang malalim ang iniisip niya at alam ko, she is just pretending to be okay.
"Ha? Uhmm, wala naman. I don't think that the First Heirs and the Direct Heirs have any connections with the AncientDemon Witches. Mukhang good dogs naman sila. What time ang meeting mo with them?" she asked with a faint smile.
"Would you like to join me later? You are my wife and you have the right to be there, pero may training ka pa bukas. I think you need to rest."
"Hindi na ako sasama dahil baka magka culture shock ako sa harap ng maraming ancient werewolves. Matutulog na lang ako ng maaga. Balitaan mo na lang ako ng mga latest tsismis from the highest werewolf echelon."
Lumapit ako sa kanya at umupo sa tabi niya. I pulled her closer to me and ask her to sit on my lap. Mabilis naman niya akong sinunod, pero di ko inaasahan na bigla niya ko yayakapin. For minutes, nakayakap lang siya sa akin. I can feel tenderness and comfort in her arms.
"Do you want to tell me something?" I whispered as I touch her hair.
"Tristan, special ba ako sayo?"
"You are my wife, of course you are more than special."
"Tristan, may pag-asa ba na mahalin mo din ako? Katulad or higit pa kay Olivia?" tanong niya na biglang tumingin sa mga mata ko.
Why is she asking these questions all of a sudden?
"Eliana..."
Hindi ako sinagot ni Eliana pero mabilis niya uli akong niyakap. This time, she hugged me tighter like she does not want to let me go.
"I am sorry, Tristan," humihikbi na sabi ni Eliana. I tried to caress her hair as she is already sobbing in tears.
Why is she saying sorry? Anong ginagawa niya?
"Eliana, sorry for what?"
"Basta..."
"Hey, what's wrong? Tell me, makikinig ako," sabi ko sa kanya as I cupped her face.
"Tristan, I was able to unearth something significant. Something na baka hindi mo magustuhan at baka kagalit mo kaya I am saying sorry in advance."
Is it about the treachery in our clan? Ito na ba ang sinasabi ni Hezekiah na betrayal sa pamilya namin?
"Ano yun, Eliana? I am listening."
"Tristan, I think... I think I am falling in love with you. I am sorry, hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko na mahalin ka."
Halo halong emosyon ang bumabalot sa akin ngayon, pero isa lang ang alam ko, masaya ako at mahal ako ni Eliana. I am actually more than happy, I am ecstatic.
"Eliana, why are you saying sorry? And why are you crying as if it is a crime to fall in love with me?" tanong ko sa kanya dahil patuloy pa rin siyang umiiyak.
"Alam ko kung paano magmahal ng tao na hindi ka naman kayang mahalin kahit kailan. Alam ko kung paano umibig sa maling tao. Alam ko kung paano magmahal ng isang tao na pag-aari ng iba."
Is she referring to me? Mahal na ba ako ni Eliana noon pa at nasasaktan siya dahil kay Olivia?
Fuck, how can I be so dense?
"Make love to me, Tristan..." bulong ni Eliana as she began to kiss my ears.
Nararamdaman ko din na mabilis niyang tinatanggal ang buttons ng shirt ko. She's in a hurry as if she can't get enough of me. My eyes widened when she suddenly pushed me on the bed and placed her self on top of me. Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ako o magugulat sa pagiging bold ni Eliana sa mga oras na ito.
"I love you, Tristan..." she whispered when she found her bearings.
I did not expect that she would be this daring. Without any gaps, she move her body exquisitely like we are just one. I never thought that I can feel physical ecstasy and emotional elation at the same time. I have probably love my wife all along and I was just too blind to see it.
She was panting after we reached our climax together. The sheer delight of this love making made me feel breathless. Niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit as she stayed on top of me. I can distinctly hear her heart beating fast.
"Eliana, I think I also discovered something..." bulong ko sa kanya as I kissed her hair.
Hinihintay ko siyang sumagot, pero naramdaman ko na lang na mahina siyang humihilik. She already fell asleep while lying on top of me. Hinayaan ko lang siyang magpahinga dahil sa kalokohan niya.
A few minutes before midnight, iniwan ko si Eliana sa kwarto namin na mahimbing na natutulog.
Tomorrow will be a good day. I will definitely tell her how I feel about her...
