Missing Zodiac [Season One]

Chapter Sixteen

That voice

Dire-diretso kong ininom ang binili kong soda kanina hanggang sa wala ng matira. Mabuti nalang at nakalabas ako sa malaking palasyo na 'yon; I'm just sitting here on the grass. May mga fireflies na dahan-dahan na nagsisilipad sa paligid ko, iba-iba nga lang sila ng kulay. Mabuti nalang dahil kahit papa'no ay gumaan ang pakiramdam ko, dagdag pa ang maraming bituin sa nightsky; pati ang galaw ng aurora borealis.

Mabuti nalang nga, maganda ang lugar na 'to, this world is gorgeous. It's sad to think na ang mga naninirahan dito ay may mababang klase ng mindsets.

They look down on others specially to those who they think are weak. They think humans are useless, nothing and pathetic so they can't accept the fact that I'm getting along with humans to well, and I'm being mad about their opinions.

Masyadong mataas ang tingin nila sa sarili nila, ugh.

Kumain nalang ako ulit ng binili kong chichirya, I feel so stressed, sino ba namang hindi, kung maririnig mong minamaliit ka. I may not be a human tulad ng sinasabi nila but I live like one, that's why it's offensive for me.

"Hi." Napahinto naman ako sa pagkain nang marinig si Taurus sa likuran ko. Nang lingunin ko siya, ayun nanaman ulit ang ngiti niya sa'kin. Lumapit siya at naupo sa tabi ko. "Still mad?" Nakangiti niyang tanong, sumubo muna ako ng chichira ako at saka tumingin ulit sa night sky. "Hindi na."

"I'm impressed by you.. hindi ko na nakikita ang kilala kong Virgo noon, sa'yo." Sinulyapan ko siya, nakatingala rin siya sa nightsky. "Do you still want your memories back?" Tila curious niyang tanong, nilingon na niya ako ulit and I look at him. "I don't want it anymore.. Besides.. There are a little bit of memories na bigla nalang nagru-rush sa utak ko. I don't need them to force it in me." Tila pag-amin ko at saka muling sumubo ng chichirya. Tila nabigla naman siya ng kaunti sa'kin at hinarap ako ng maayos. "Talaga? Seryoso?"

He looks surprised a bit by what I just said. That's true, may mga kaunting memories na bigla nalang nag-ru-rush sa utak ko, that's why bigla ko nalang naaalala ang pangalan ng iba sa kanila. Tinitigan ko si Taurus sa mga mata niya, I feel bad for him, I feel bad for...

"I... I'm sorry.. Taurus."

"Huh?"

"I've been a bad sister aren't I?" I feel like I want to cry, but I don't want to do it. Now I can't help to but to look at him with sadness. Hindi ko na rin matagalan kaya yumuko nalang ako.

Geez I was planning to talk to him later and not now because I want to enjoy my chips.

This time ay nabigla na talaga siya sa sinabi ko na halos napapatitig na siya sa'kin with surprised look. "Huh?" I tried to smile a bit but in the end, napayuko nalang ako lalo.

"I'm sorry I belittled you before, I'm sorry I hated you just because you choose to love a human, I'm sorry for belittling your ability and your enchantments. I'm sorry for hurting your feelings just because my past self thinks you're to weak to be the Taurus.. I was such a ridiculous b*tch, sorry about that."

I feel ashamed of myself, niyakap ko nalang tuloy ang mga tuhod ko, I don't want to look at him, baka sumabog na siya dahil may tinatago pala siyang sama ng loob sa'kin. Baka hindi na ako makauwi niyan. "If only I'd been a good sister.. You could've been happy and chose to go after the girl.. But my hatred and hurtful words pushed you away from your happiness, I am so sorry."
