Unopened Rose (DRAFT! DRAFT!)

Chapter 4

-----

"Your highness... we are sorry to tell you that Lady Yanna is resting. She has still not recovered from the incident the other night and she has been acting strange lately so we apologized." Doctor Han politely said to Matthew. 

Doctor Han was saying the truth but at the same time he also prays that his daughter won't wake up for many days. He knows that the pregnancy of her daughter will bring more shame to his family. He must look for a way to send her daughter far away. 

Matthew put down his tea on the table and stood up. He walked towards him and look at Doctor Han's family. He knew Doctor Han is acting strange. He can feel that he was hiding something. 

He looked at Yuhan standing at the door. Kakarating lamang nito.

Inutusan niya itong i-check ang kwarto ng dalaga habang nakikipag-usap siya sa pamilya. Naglakad siya palapit dito habang nananatili pa ring nakaupo at nakayuko ang pamilya Han sa kani-kanilang mga upuan. 

"They found out that the Lady is bringing a child. Doctor Han is planning to send her far away." Yuhan whispered at him. 

He clenched his jaw. He felt deceived again. His blood started to boil. 

Is she bringing his brother's baby?

Simula bata pa lang sila ng kapatid niya ay hindi sila close nito. They were born on the same father but with a different mother. Her mother is an empress consort while Andrew's mother is the royal empress. Alam rin niyang walang gusto ang kapatid niya sa kanya.

Kahit hindi siya nakikipagkompetensiya dito ay ito mismo ang gumagawa ng paraan para makipagkompetensiya siya hanggang sa babaliktarin na siya nito.

Matthew didn't want to be the crown prince. His brother just wanted to kill Ileanna because of the crime that may lead to his name.  

Bakit ngayon pa ito nangyari gayung nasabihan na niya ang emperor tungkol sa pagpayag niyang ikasal sa dalaga. Kapag aatras siya ay siguradong hindi din magiging masaya ang ama niya.

His father decided to let her marry Ileanna to save the crown prince about the news that he had a relationship with Lady Yanna. Isa din sa mga dahilan na tinanggap niya ang gusto ng ama niya ay para maging proud din ito sa kanya kahit papano. Gusto niyang ipakita sa ama niya na kaya niyang gawin lahat para sa ikakabuti ng angkan nila. Kailangan niyang mag-isip ng paraan.

Hindi niya maiwasang mapangisi ng sarkastiko. Ngayon naiitindihan na niya kung bakit parang may kakaiba kay Doctor Han. 

"Make sure to guard her and follow where they will take her." bulong niya kay Yuhan na agad nitong sinunod, yumuko at umalis. 

"I'd like to take a walk outside." 

Doctor Han stood up. His family also followed. 

"Your highness... let my two daughters accompany you. Maribeth and Geraldine can show you the great places in our mansion." sabi ni Lady Viola sa mahinhin na boses. 

Sumang-ayon naman si Doctor Han sa sinabi ng asawa samantalang umingos lang si Lady Esther kay Lady Viola. Hindi niya ito gusto at alam niyang iba ang pinaplano nito. Alam ni Lady Esther na naiinggit si Lady Viola kay Lady Yanna dahil ito ang napili ng emperor na ipakasal sa pang-apat na prinsipe.

"No. I'm fine. I want to be alone." Matthew said leaving them. 

Lihim na natawa si Lady Esther saka lumabas. Hindi siya pinapayagang dalawin si Lady Yanna sa quarter nito. She is close with her. She treated Lady Yanna as her own daughter when her mother died. Kaya hindi siya pinapayagang dalawin si LAdy Yanna ay dahil baka tulungan niya ang dalaga sa kagustuhan nitong makatakas which is totoo din naman. Dahil palagi niya iyong ginagawa dati. Siya lamang ang tanging tao sa pamilyang to na maganda ang pakikitungo sa dalaga.
