Zhang Xui POV

Tahimik lang at seryoso si Ju ng tignan ko ito.

Father, I think...- naputol ang sasabihin ni hong nang tumayo si Ju.
Let's begin- saad nito at naunang pumunta sa gitna. Nakaayos naman na ang lahat.
Tumayo narin ang dalawa pang prinsipe at tumabi sa kanya.

We will had a three shot- saad ng emperor.
Si Dan ang nauna dahil sya ang pinakabata sa kanila. Tumama naman ito sa gitna.

Sumunod ay si Ju, parang may sinabi sa kanya si hong pero inisnob nya lang ito. I don't know kung may galit sya sa kapatid nya or talagang ganyan lang sya.
Unang tira sa gitna galing talaga niya pati si hong na gitna rin.

Sa pangalawang tira sentro rin silang tatlo but then napansin Kong nanginginig ang kamay ni Ju at medyo matagal bago nya pinakawalan ang palaso.
Sa pangatlo, tumagilid ang tira ni ju but hong still in the center, dahil mas center Kay hong kasya Kay DAn ang crown Prince ang nanalo.

Bumalik si Ju sa tabi, ko at pinagpapawisan.

Tell me, are you injure?- pabulong na tanong ko dahil yun lang ang pwedeng maging dahilan ng mintis nyang tira. Hindi nya ako pinansin bagkus umalis ito. Tsk. Tanong pa kasi ako.

......

Nagkalat ang mga tao ng inuman na, uuwi na sana ako ng harangan ako ng mga Zhang.

What?!- tanong ko. Let's see kung magtataray ang mga to.
Zhang Xui!, we come to see you so don't give that - suway ni INA.
Yes, what can I do for you?- saad ko sa tonong nang iinis na malumanay.
Zhang Xui!- suway din Wei.
The hell, say it what it is? I'm getting impatient here- banas Kong saad. I want to fixed my relationship with them lalo sina kuya at INA but I don't think kung ano ang gagawin ko sa kontrabida dyan ay di nila magugustuhan. Mahilig pa naman ako maghiganti.
Mother birthday was the day after tomorrow, I hope you can come.- I look to mother who's smiling at me.
Is that so then I'm going to barrow my mother for a day. All Moron can leave now.- hinila ko, si INA sa sasakyan. Sa daan ay tahimik lang ako. My mother tried to speak but I stop her..

I know it very wrong the way I treated you but I just want you to understand me.- I speak.
I know, and I understand why your so angry. I'm sorry that I shouted at you that time but your father doesn't done bad to you others than being strict and be sense of care to you?- mahinang tugon nito.I hold her hand.
I see that you love him, but being no sense of care to me led me being bullied. I defense myself infront all of you that day its just show he favor his other child but not me. And imagine that's words he said to his own daughter. They bullied me all of them except the one I know. So I want you and brother to understand me and ignore how I can punish them- saad ko. Napayuko ito ngunit di kalaunay ngumiti.
Fine, but don't be too much okay?- ngumiti nalang ako at yinakap sya.
So were you going to the prince mansion?- tumango naman ako. Bukas ko nalang sya ipapasyal.

......

Pagdating sa mansion deretso ako sa yard ko. I remove ang mainit na damit nila at nagpalit yung parang dress na ganon din ang style at manipis ang manggas nito. Pinatahi ko to dati para masuot ko dahil mag isa lang naman ako dito.

Mother just wonder around for a moment, I will let just things prepared. -Tumango nalang to at iniwan ko na sya saking silid. Hapon na tansya ko mga 3pm na kaya inutusan ko mga cook doon na maghanda ng pangmeryenda. Gulat nga sila dahil this is the first time na nagpahanda ako sa kanila matapos akong magdesisyon na maging independent. But maybe they understand dahil may bisita ako.. Nagpahanda ako ng tea at konting makakain lang. Saka pinahatid saking silid.

Oh no need to serve, were just come from a feast.- saad ni ina ng makita ang mga naihanda.
Don't worry mother it for dessert. And I design it on my own- tugon ko at nilagyan ang mangkok nya. Instruct ko kung pano sila ginawa ng dessert kaya ayan. She taste it at ninamnam ito.
Hmm..it taste good I haven't taste anything like this.- I just smile. At nagpatuloy kami sa pagkain.

Greeting mother, sorry I don't know you came.- napatingin kami Kay Ju na kararating lang.
Enough of formalities, come sit with us.- aya ni INA na syang ginawa ni Ju.
I invited her, so I can take her somewhere I hope you can let us.- I said looking at him. He just nodded.
I heard mother birthday was the day after tomorrow. I also want you to have a bonding.- wow bait naman nito.
As we continue to talk each other mother asked a lot of things even my my relationship to Ju.

Why don't have a child, you been married for enough time to have a baby- napatigil ako saking pag inom ng tea at ganun rin si Ju.
Mom I still don't want to bear a child- saad ko.
Why not, it your responsible to give the prince a heir?- nagkatinginan naman kami ni Ju at sinamaan ko sya ng tingin para magsalita.
Don't worry mother we will get there when she already prepared, right now I don't want to force her.- napasigh nalang si INA.
Your lucky the prince is understanding, but be more responsible as the prince wife.- I just role my eyes without mother seeing.
I will try mother- tugon mo nalang para wag nang pahabain to.

.....

Pagkatapos nun ay pinahatid ko na sya sq kanyang silid upang magpahinga. Aalis narin sana si Ju ng hilaain ko to saking silid.
What the hell your doing!?- marahas nitong inalis ang kamay ko sa pagkakahawak sa kanya.
Ouch..oh..ooppps..- natumba ako sa kanya dahil naoutbalance ako sa pagpupumiglas nito. Napahiga kami ngayon sa kama at nasa ibabaw nya ako.
See what you have done- tahimik ito at parang nasasaktan. Umupo ako sa tyan nya at tinaasan sya ng kilay.
The hell get out of there!-sigaw nya sakin at akmang hihilain ako paalis ng hawakan ko ang kamay nya para pigilan to.
Mom said I'm must do my responsibility as your wife and I thought why not?- I smirk and I make my face close to him.
Tahimik ito at parang nabigla. I took the chance and rip his dress in his arm. Tumambad ang sugat nito sa balikat.
Agad nya itong tinakpan at umupo dahilan para mapaupo rin ako at maalis sa kandungan nya.
Can you not act roughly I don't have any intention in you I just want to know where did you get that wound.- hinila ko uli ito ng tumayo sya.
Its not your business.- cold nitong saad sakin. Halatang nababanas narin to.
OK, fine... I wouldn't mind it just stay here tonight- tumayo ako at kinuha ang first aid kit. Tahimik nya akong pinanood at hinayaang gamutin sya dumudugo na kasi ito at medyo malalim.
Finish, be careful next time. Anyway as I said stay here tonight.- tumayo ito at nagsuot ng damit.
Thank you, but I will not accompany you tonight..- tsk..ang hirap talaga magpaamo ng Leon. I stop him again kaya napatingin ito sakin na nakataas ang kilay.
Don't give me that look, I hope you understand this is to strengthen our relationship.- his hand reach my chin.
Tell me what did you eat today and your acting weird. - tanong nito. We just look to each other. Even though I don't want to do it but I need to finish this things soon as possible.
I have change my mind and wanted to have a real intimate relationship with you this time, not just an act but for real. -saad ko, naaninag ko ang paglito nito at the same time gulat.
Itinaas nito ang baba ko.
That's odd, what on your mind?- he asked in disbelief.
Cmon dont be surprised people change so quickly and I just realized I wanted to fixed anything now my relationship with you, our life, with my family. So don't be surprised anymore- After looking at me for a minute checking if I'm telling the truth he sighed and removed his hand on my chin.

I also take a deep breath and smiled.
