Lumina Academy: Light and Shadow (Realm Series #1)

Chapter 51: Library

Chapter 51: Library

Nang dumating sila Sir Ali ay kaagad silang nagpasya na bumalik sa academy dahil baka balikan pa kami ng mga rebelyon at sapilitang kunin ang mga nakuha naming mga halaman and this time, madami na talagang masasaktan sa main. Habang pabalik naman kami sa academy ay tahimik lamang silang lahat at mukhang malalim ang kanilang mga iniisip. But I think, Aiden doesn’t care at all.

“Don’t be bothered about them. I will hold your hand and will never let it go while you are explaining,” I looked at Aiden while he’s kissing the back of my hand nonstop.

I smiled at him sweetly before leaning on his shoulder. Alam kong uulanin nila ako ng katanungan kaya naman naghahanda na ako sa mga tanong na ‘yon.

“Why you seem not bothered about what you just learned about me? Are you not angry because I did not tell you about it?” Hindi ko mapigilang tanong at sobra akong nagtataka. Liningon ko siya habang nakasandal pa rin ang ulo ko sa kaniyang balikat.

Halos nagbubulungan na kami dahil ayaw kong maisturbo ang Alphas. At saka, hindi ko alam kung magagalit ba sila sa akin o magtatampo but I could feel that I just have to explain everything to them—that’s if they wanted me to explain.

“Why would I get mad at my woman? Kauumpisa pa lang ng relasyon natin tapos magagalit na ako sa ‘yo? No way! Mamaya, hiwalayan mo pa ako, eh,” sagot niya kaya natawa naman ako ng mahina. Umayos naman ako ng upo habang nakaharap pa rin sa kaniya ngunit maya-maya pa ay binaon niya ang kaniyang mukha sa aking leeg at inamoy-amoy ito. I noticed that he loves doing that and I find it as his sweetest gesture that he has—just like Caelum. “Besides, it wasn’t a big deal to me and I already have an idea that it was you—the summoner of all supreme guardians,” dagdag pa niya habang gano’n pa rin ang aming posisyon.

I hug him at mas lalo naman siyang sumiksik sa akin. “Huh? How…?” Puno ng pagtataka kong tanong.

Hinarap naman niya ako bago ngumisi. “Do you really want to know?” Tanong niya habang nakataas ang kilay. Tumango naman ako at umayos ng upo habang nakaharap pa rin sa kaniya. Then a charming smile flashed on his lips while looking intently at me. “I always stalk you,” he said na nagpa-awang ng aking bibig. Nang makita niya ang reaksyon ko ay mahina siyang natawa.

What Kuya Logan told me… was true?

“You… what?” Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko naman habang nag-ri-replay sa isip ko ang huling pag-uusap namin ni Kuya Logan.

He kissed me on my forehead first before answering my question. “Well, baby, that’s how crazy I am towards you. I always stalk you wherever you go and even on your room,” may kislap ng kapilyohan ang kaniyang mga matang nakatingin sa akin. “I’m sneaking just to stare at you—even when you are changing your clothes, I’m just in one place of your room… just watching you,” he added and smirked teasingly. Bigla namang namula ang pisngi ko dahil sa hiyang nararamdaman.

“Manyak! Mamboboso!” Hindi ko mapigilang wika habang hindi pa rin makapaniwalang nakatingin sa kaniya. Natawa naman siya sa sinabi ko at nanggigigil na hinalikan ako sa gilid ng aking labi.

“Just kidding, my Hope…” he chuckled sexily but I can’t help but look at him flatly but I can’t deny that I felt relief and I just remembered that my guardians are with me since then. “But I see no problem with that, baby. Because as you can see, I will see them soon,” he even shrugged and smirk smugly which made me roll my eyes at him.

Sinimangutan ko naman siya. “Yung totoo kasi!” Saad ko at ng mapansin kong mang-aasar na naman siya ay inunahan ko na siya. “I’m serious!” Lukot ang mukha kong nakatingin sa kaniya na ikinatawa naman niya ng mahina.
