Tale 22
Unspoken Feelings"S-sino sya?" curious na tanong ni Irish
Kumunot ang noo ni Esteban.. Sya ba ang rason sa biglang pagbabago ng pakikitungo sa kanya ni Lauren?
"Lance bakit nandito ka? You should rest more." Saad ni Lauren completely ignoring the two.
"Who are they?" tanong ni Lance
"Hmm? These two? They're just some minor characters, completely insignificant. Don't mind them." Sagot ni Lauren na ikinagusot ng muka ng dalawa
"She pushed you." Malamig na saad ng binata
"Yes, she did. Gusto ko sana syang sampalin para makaganti, pero nagbago ang isip ko. How could I hit her on the face? Her genetics had already put her through enough sufferings already." Lauren
Tumingin si Lance sa muka ni Irish.. "You're right. She's too pitiful."
"..........."
"She's also the living proof that evolution can go in reverse." Dagdag pa ni Lauren
Tumango naman ang binata.
"How dare you imply that Im stupid?!" hindi na nakapagpigil si Irish sa pagsigaw ng malakas dahil sa galit.
"She understand that?" nagtatakang tanong ni Lance
"Shocking don't you think?" Lauren
"Yes." Sang-ayon ng binata
"If I'm stupid, then how come Lauren who is supposedly smarter than me, cant win Esteban's heart? Why did he choose me instead?!" galit na tanong ni Irish
Napabaling ang mga mata ni Lance sa binata.. He honestly replied, "He's also stupid "
Natawa naman si Lauren sa kanyang narinig..
"That's right.. Lance, you are very correct. These two idiots are a match made in heaven." Lauren
Hindi mahanap ni Esteban ang kanyang tinig.. Hindi sya makapaniwala na ang babae na noo'y hindi makabuo ng isang pangungusap kapag kausap sya at ang babaeng may nakalalasong pananalita ay iisa. She was once a little kitten. Now she's a ferocious tiger. He can finally see her charms. Bakit hindi nya napansin noon ang mga katangian nito?
"Dina please show the door to these people." Nakangiting saad ni Lauren kay Dina.. Nandito pa nga pala ito sa eksena. Kahit si Dina ay nakalimutan ang sarili nyang presensya dahil sa mainit na drama na nasaksihan nya.
"Lauren may araw ka rin sakin." Banta ni Irish
Walang sinabi si Esteban bago ito umalis. Pero nangungusap ang mga mata nito. Unfortunately, hindi sya pinansin ni Lauren. Asa pa sya.
"They're finally gone." Saad ni Lauren
Bumaling ang mga mata ni Lauren sa binata. "Seriously, why are you here? You're supposedly resting."
"I heard the commotions upstairs." Lance
Lauren gave him an apologetic look.. "Anyway, why don't you accompany me to the garden? Short walks is good for faster recovery."
Agad tumango ang binata bilang pagsang-ayon.
"Young Miss, would you like me to prepare tea so you can relax at the garden??" tanong ni Dina.
"Excellent idea. Thank you Dina." Lauren
Tahimik na naglakad ang dalawa patungo sa hardin.
Malawak ang sakop ng tahanan ng mga Ashford, dating isang noble family ang kanilang pamilya kaya naman malawak din ang hardin sa likod ng mansion.
