CHAPTER 22: The Queen's Jealousy

 Cassandra's Point of View

I ignored the fact that all eyes inside the cafeteria is on me and on the little lady in my arms. Nagpatuloy ako sa paglalakad patungo sa table na kinaroroonan nila Dale. And of course, I walked like a queen. A lady with sophistication and grace.

Others knew that Mio is my sister and others don’t. But right now, I couldn’t care less of what others would think dahil nasa dalawang naglalandiang tao sa harap ko lang nakatuon ang atensyon ko. 

Hindi ko alam kung sadyang friendly lang ba talaga si Dale o isa’t kalahating malandi rin. Pero Cassandra’s property is Cassandra’s property. And I won’t ever let a single leech crawl anywhere near them. Dale is mine.

Napapitlag ako ng biglang sundutin ni Mio ang noo ko, just above my nose bridge where my eyebrows meet. I gave her a quizzical look and she giggled as a response.

“You look like you’re going to eat a person for lunch mom. And their wrinkly and they’re forming a V.” Patukoy niya sa kilay kong magkasalubong.

“Do I look bad?”

“No. But you don’t want that lady to see you at your advantage aren’t you?”

 Oh dear. I’m really loosing it. Even Mio makes a better point more than I do. 

“Of course not baby.” I gave her a peck on the cheek and smiled back at her. Pinagpatuloy ko na ang paglalakad while Mio’s humming a nursery rhyme, Mary had A Little Lamb.

 Tango lang ng tango si Dale sa kausap at paminsan-minsan ay nginingitian rin ito. They are too busy with their conversation na ‘di man lang nila napansin ang presensiya namin ng tuluyan na kaming makalapit sa table nila.

“Dad! Hey!” Tawag ni Mio kay Dale na may kasabay pang pag palakpak para siguraduhing makuha talaga ang attensyon nila.

Nag-angat ng tingin si Dale at halos umabot hanggang tenga ang ngiti nito ng makita kami. Napansin ko ring napataas ng kilay ang babaing kasama nito at tinignan pa ako mula ulo hanggang paa.

 ‘Oh darling! You could stare at me whole day but you’ll never see anything but flawlessness and heavenly-like beauty’ sabi ko sa kanya sa ulo ko. I smirked at her ng dumako ang tingin niya sa mukha ko.

 “Sweet Cassie! Mio baby! You’re back!” Tumayo si Dale at akmang lalapit samin ng eextend ni Mio ang kanang kamay para patigilin siya. Nagtaka si Dale sa ginawa ng bata. Nang bigyan niya ako ng mukhang nagtatanong ay pinaningkitan ko lang siya ng mata dahilan para mas lumalim ang pagtataka nito.

“Stay where you are Dad ‘cause I am absolutely mad at you.” Sabi ni Mio kay Dale at nag cross-arms pa ito at sinubukang itaas ang kaliwang kilay para magmukhang mataray.
