Chapter 83
School Outing
Adah
"You are King." Ngiti ko't binaba ang kamay niya.
He also smiles in return while staring into my eyes. At muli ko na namang napansin... there's really something in the way he looks at me.
"Okay, fine naniniwala na kami! Pero tanong ko lang... kambal lang talaga kayo? Baka sakaling may pangatlo pa... perhaps posibleng magkagusto sa isang katulad ko... baka lang naman." Aian.
"Nakakahiya ka talaga." Zendaya.
Natawa kami sa kanila. Ngunit naputol 'yon nang biglang magsalita si Thea. "Not so fast." Aniya habang titig na titig parin kay Augustus.
"Is there a problem Thea?" Tanong ko.
"Makeup can be used to conceal anything indeed... even deception and dishonesty." Sagot niya saka lumapit kay Augustus at walang anu anong kinuha ang kamay nito.
"What are you doing?" He tried to pull his hand away from her but she quickly held it back. Then she pulled out a hankerchief to wipe Augustus' knuckles.
"I knew it!" Thea exclaimed before he successfully snatched his hand away from her hold. Magkasalubong ang kilay niyang tinanaw ang kaibigan ko. "Why are you doing this Prince?"
"W-What?" Gulat at naguguluhan ko silang tinignan. "Prince?"
"Adah, n-no--" Natataranta niya 'kong nilapitan dahilan para mapatibay ang sinabi ni Althea.
Sinubukan niyang hawakan ako kaya hinawi ko ang kamay niya. Doon ko nakita ang mga sugat sa likod ng kanyang palad. Ang mga sugat na tinamo ni Prince kagabi. He really concealed it with makeup to deceive me!
"Niloko mo 'ko?"
Pakiramdam ko'y tumigil ang mundo ko sa nangyayari. Biglang nagflashback sa akin sinabi niya kanina lang.
'What if it doesn't matter anymore whether you screw things up or not... as long as you could keep the happiness that you've been praying for, dahil 'yon lang ang makakapagpakita sa'yo kung gaano kaganda ang mundo...'
'What if destroying some things can help you see the beauty that you want...'
Kasabay nito ay ang pag alala ko rin sa mga sinabi ni Prince noong gabi matapos niya 'kong ihatid galing sa cafe. Nung gabing nag away kami at tinaboy ko siya...
'Maipapangako kong gagawin ko ang lahat ng makakaya ko para maibigay lahat ng hinihiling mo... but you turned it all down with so much certainty and belief. Kaya ako ang patawarin mo sa mga magagawa ko ngayong hindi mo na 'ko kontrolado.'
