Chapter 29: Ability

Aviana Maurice's

Agad kong iniwas ang tingin ko sa libro at itinuon ito sa ibang bagay.

Pumasok ako sa aking silid. Namimiss ko na ito kahit pa gaano kalaki ang kwarto ko sa Regnum. Walang makakatalo sa pagiging comfy nito.

Nandito pa yung ibang mga gamit ko pero hindi ko ito dadalhin sa Regnum.

All I can do was reminisce memories.

After ng ilang minutong pag muni-muni ay lumabas na ako sa aking silid.

Nakita kong nagpapahinga at nagsisiksikan sila sa couch. I took that time to get the book na nasa center table.

I never thought na hindi ko pala ito naisama sa mga sinauli ko and wrong timing pa dahil nakita ito ni Caius.

I could have been arrested for invasion of privacy.

Dumb when I just remembered this book and realized that the notes were from him and for Dhea.

I would be lying if I say I didn't assume on his actions.

Yes, aaminin ko. I thought I sensed something. And if I didn't know that I've got the feeling for CK? Maybe I'd fall for Caius.

All those butterflies in the stomach and fluttering heart whenever I'm with him. What's the explanation?

Maybe, dahil magkamukha sila ni CK. Yes, that's the explanation.

Sorry, I'm foreign to this feeling. The hard thing is that I don't have a friend that would snap me the truth. Wala akong mapagsabihan upang ipaintindi sa akin ang mga nararamdaman ko.

Then I came to the thought, what if Dhea lost the battle in the Choosing Ceremony? It would be hard for Caius right? Mahirap pakasalan ang taong hindi mo naman mahal and thr reason is power.

I got the book and thought of returning it habang nagpapahinga sila. In that way, walang magtataka kung saan ako pupunta and CK won't be able to question me regarding the book.

That's what I thought but kahit nasa ambahan pa lang ako ng pintuan ay may naramdaman akong fresh breath near my nape.

He is near. I can feel tension.

Napalunok ako dahil sa lapit niya sa akin.

"Saan ka pupunta?" He said that in a sexy hoarse voice.

Naghaharumentado na ang puso ko. Not because he's near or something involving any romantic acts but because wala na. I'm trapped. It's awkward to confirm that I've read this book with his notes over it.

But I always choose to be honest than be a liar dahil sa huli ako rin naman ang maiipit. I will still be in the hot seat. I will just choose when. Now or these coming days?

I'll choose now. It's not good to prolong the agony.

"I'll just return this book. I forgot to return it along with the others kasi," I said.

Hinarap ko siya, which I regret. Mas awkward pala if I talk to him face to face. As if I killed someone, duh.

"Can I take a look?" Sabi niya, raising an eyebrow.

Fck dis sht.

Tumikhim ako and said a veryyyyyy awkward statement.

"U-uhh, u-hmmm. Y-yeahh o-of c-course ehehehe."

Ibinigay ko sa kanya ang libro silently praying to all the saints that please, can he just ignore the fact that I invaded their privacy?

I stared at him as he scanned the pages of the book as if he's interested with the message it portrays when in fact he just wanted to confirm his theory of me, reading the notes he wanted Dhea to know.

"Nabasa mo na pala to, I know what's going on with your mind. I've moved on. Maybe she's not just for me. Maybe she's for Eli." He said those with acceptance and finality. There's no hint of bitterness or distaste.

Tango lang ang tanging naisagot ko. Speechless at what he said. He must be a strong man, huh?

Masaklap pa at sa best friend niya nainlove.

Kinuha ko na yung libro para maisauli ko na. I asked him kung sasama ba siya and he happily said yes.

That's when I get to know his ability.

He said it would be dangerous for us to stray around announcing our identity.

I don't understand it at first but when he went beside Eli, duplicating his ability, that's when I understood.

Eli's ability is all about illusion. Then Caius's is about duplicating an ability. Interesting.

He applied that to us and made us both invisible.

Naglakad kami papunta sa library. Iniwan ko lang ang libro sa paanan ng pintuan nito at saka kami umalis.

I plead Caius to let me visit my friends kung saan pumayag siya. Nagulat pa nga ako since it doesn't have any hesitation.

Even with the intense heat of the sun ay binalewala ko ito para lamang makapunta ako sa mga kaibigan ko.

Nakakalungkot nga at sa pang ilang beses kong dalaw sa kanila ay wala akong dalang kahit ano. Even candles.

Umusal ako ng dasal and even with Caius beside me, I don't seem to mind talking with them facing the grassy field.

After a few minutes ay bumalik na kami sa bahay namin.

Nakita ko sina Eli na parang hindi mapakali. Caius made us visible again.

"Fvk bro, you scared the sht in us. Akala namin ano nang nangyari sa inyo!" Eli started hysterical.

"Chill, nothing happened" Caius boringly said

After that little commotion, yes commotion dahil after mag usap ni Caius and Eli ay sumunod yung ate niyang daig ang nanay nila kung manermon.

After that ay bumalik na kami sa hiding place nila dito. I left my note for Nanay saying I miss and love them.

They started planning. Since I really don't care at all ay hinayaan ko sila doon at natulog lang ako dito sa sofa since they are planning sa kusina. Before kami bumalik dito ay tinawagan nila ang Regnum just to inform that we don't have food here and pagbalik namin, ayun puno na ang ref and cabinet.

I heard something like, "Ikaw na ang gumawa Caius. People here doesn't know you since we only blew your identity sa Choosing Ceremony and only people who can afford to buy tv's and can pay channels saw you and I believe no one here can,"

Then after that ay nakaidlip na ako.

Nagising kaagad ako after 30 mins.

I planned of going sa kusina. I will just listen to their plans para may magawa naman ako.

Papasok na sana ako nang may mabunggo ako. I know this scent. I know this height.

But when I turned my head high. Nakasalubong ko ang tsokolate niyang mata.

Fck no.
