*Hugerson's Point of View
"You okay, Axe?"Tinignan niya ako at sabay na tumango habang nakangiti.
"Of course! It's my big day!"Excited niya pang pagkasabi at inayos ang sarili. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung gaganti pa ba ako ng isang ngiti sa kaniya o magagalit dahil sa halatang pagpapanggap niya ngayon.
How can he smile like that? I unknowingly clenched my fist.
"Seriously, Hue? You're asking him that?"
Biglang sabat naman ni Rye habang inaayos ang damit niya nang marinig niya ang nagiging pag-uusap namin ni Axe. Umismid nalang ako at inayos nalang din ang damit ko. Napansin ko naman na lumapit si Rye kay Axe at inakbayan siya.
"We'll be here."He eventually assured.
Tumango naman agad si Axe sa kaniya bilang sagot pagkatapos niyang marinig 'yon, pero napansin kong biglang lumungkot at nanlumo ang mga mata niya pagkatalikod na pagkatalikod niya palang sa amin.
Napailing ako, bago tumingin kay Zace nang mapansin kong nananahimik lang siya sa isang tabi na nakabihis na rin habang nakapikit. I mean, it's pretty normal to see him like that.
Nagkibit-balikat nalang ako at pinabayaan nalang muna siya.
He's still probably feeling provoked for what happened to Vi's party, now that he knew his sister actually knows everything.
Wala tuloy sa sarili na napabuga ako ng hangin at sabay na napatingin sa labas.
It's been exactly 4 days after everything that Tita Avani said to us about the underground haven that we saw. I don't even know if we should be very excited right now, because after all what we heard back there, unfortunately, it keeps on giving us mixed feelings at all.
Bahagya akong napayuko at tinignan ang suot ko. Today is the day of Axe finally becoming the heir, and by means of that, it's also the day that we cannot avoid to be ruin any moment.
Pagkatapos lahat ng sinabi nila sa amin nung nakaraan, hindi ko na alam kung may oras pa kami para ma-celebrate namin ng maayos ang birthday ni Axe. Just like what she said, every single event is their advantage.
Pwede silang sumugod dito at kunin ang gusto nila sa kahit anong oras.
All of us are in danger, especially Axe. Not knowing that he's the real heir already puts him in so much danger just by having a connection to Tita Avani.
I can't even predict right now what will happen, if the Onyx eventually know that he's the real one.
"Where's the star of the night?"
Sabay naman kaming nagsitinginan lahat sa may pinto ng guest room kung nasaan kami at iniluwa doon sina Trixie at Treck na parehas na ring nakabihis. They casually entered the room and greet Axe a happy birthday.
"Everything will be fine, Axe."
Ramdam ko naman ang biglaang pagkuyom ng kamao ko nang sabihin 'yon ni Treck kay Axe na nakaupo at mukhang may malalim na namang iniisip.
How can he possibly say that?
"Trust him, Axe. Everything sure will be fine later."Dumagdag pa si Trixie na inakbayan pa siya sa leeg. Wala namang nagawa si Axe kundi ngumiti bilang sagot.
"Okay, let's go! The party awaits!"Maya't maya na tili ni Trixie at nanguna na palabas.
Nagsitayuan naman kaming lahat, pagkatapos namin marinig 'yon mula sa kaniya. Agad ko namang binato ng unan si Zace nang bahagya ko siyang makitang nakapikit parin, kahit alam kong naririnig niya kami. Sinamaan niya naman ako ng tingin dahil sa ginawa ko at tumayo na rin para lumabas.
