Chapter 09: Emotionless Butler

THIRD PERSON's PoV

Classical and intense music of the piano echoes the entire atmosphere of a gothic-inspired room with manifested quality of gallantry. The graceful yet hot melody of the chord danced along the sweet scent of lilac flowers that were vased beautifully.

Girl's fingers were moving confusingly swift from each tile of a classic piano to another. The one who's playing was in the middle of dealing with her thoughts about something that happened in the day. 

"Laszlo!" Miyaka entered the scene, halata sa mukha nito ang pag-aalala. Dala-dala pa nito ang maskara ng binata.

It flashback on the girl's head, it was Llara who who keeps on thinking about that student she ran into during the day.

Llara turned to her.

"Asan na ba kasi 'yun?" inis na may halong pagkabahala na sabi ni Miyaka at kaagad na umalis, a direction different from what Laszlo took. But before that ay namataan na ni Llara ang hawak nitong maskara na pagmamay-ari ni Laszlo.

"That person... that voice." Llara muttered midair as loud and dissonant sound ruined the feels, binagsak pala ng dalaga ang kanyang mga kamay out of those thoughts. Makikita ang dilim sa kanyang mga mukha habang nakatingin sa kawalan.

She heaved a sigh, and tried to ignore her thoughts, "Unless I can prove it's her, then it's not her."

Lingid sa kaalaman ng dalaga na pumasok na pala si Altheo sa naturang silid, it's a wide music room na puno ng katahimikan kapag hindi tumugtog ang piano.

Altheo noticed her mood kaya lumapit na ang binata sa kanya, may dala rin itong tray ng mga pagkain at juice.

"Young miss, mag-meryenda na po kayo." matabang na sabi ng binata as he put down tray in front of her, on the piano cover's surface.

Llara stood up and stretched her arms.

"Mamaya na, haha." she cheerfully said and stood in front of the large window like she regained her enthusiasm.

"Okay." sabi naman ng binata and turned away para ibalik ang mga pagkain nang pigilan siya ni Llara.

"Sandali lang!" makulit na sabi nito, Altheo turned to her and only gave her a look.

"Hays, can't you even tell na kinukulit lang kita?" sabi dalaga sa malamig na binata.

Altheo put down the tray back.

"Psh. You never changed at all, ang lamig-lamig mo talaga." nagmamaktol na sabi ng dalaga habang lumalapit sa binata para kumuha ng pagkain.

"Salamat nga pala sa pagprepare ah. Best boy nga talaga kita!" Llara smiled at him at dumakmal ng cookie. Tahimik pa rin ang binata na animo'y inoobserbahan lang ang bawat kilos niya.

"Oh heto!" napaatras ng mukha ang binata nang ipinilit ng dalaga sa kanyang bunganga ang isang cookie.

This time, nagsalita na ang binata, "A master and a manservant can't eat the same-"

"Blah blah, ilang ulit mo na yan Altheo. From childhood 'til now hindi ko pa rin ako sinasabayan kumain. Psh." Llara cut him off at nakasimangot na umupo sa ibabaw ng piano katabi ng binata.
