Unopened Rose (DRAFT! DRAFT!)

Chapter 13

-----

"My lady... what happened?" Umiiyak  na tanong ni Ayeng habang nakaluhod sa sahig samantalang nakahiga naman sa kama si Yanna.

Dinala siya agad ni Mathew dito. 

He was so worried that she wasn't breathing.

"She drank the poison that was for me."

"What?! You poisoned her?!"

"No!" Mabilis na sagot ni Matthew.

"Let me try to bring her back." he said and Ayeng stood up to give him space. 

Ayeng was crying with so much tear in her eyes.

"She was just so happy a while ago. She wanted to show you that she had grown a mushroom for the first time since she woke up. I can't believe it. I should't have let her go alone... Please bring her back your highness." nagmamakaawa na sabi ni Ayeng kay Matthew. 

Naaawa  niya itong tiningnan saka sinenyasan si Yuhan na palabasin muna ito. Itinaas  niya ang dalawang kamay niya sa ere sa tapat ng dibdib ng dalaga. 

Hindi niya alam kung anong nakain nito at bigla na lang ininom ang lason. 

"Please bring her back..." Pahabol pang sabi ni Ayeng habang hinihila ito ng bahagya ni Yuhan palabas. 

He close his eyes and started to focus but she suddenly got up.

Thirsty for air. She breath so deep, fast and then calm herself. 

Matthew was shocked and left with eyes wide open. Wala siyang mahagip na salita sa pagkagulat sa biglaang pagbangon ng dalaga na kinaigtad pa niya.

"W-what happened?" tanong ni Yanna. 

"My lady... Oh God!" mabilis na tumakbo si Ayeng sa hinigaan ni Yanna.

Wala naman sa sariling naitulak ni Ayeng si Matthew na nahulog sa kama para makaupo siya doon. 

Yuhan was also shocked of what Ayeng did and worry for his highness. 

"My lady, thank you for coming back." umiiyak na sabi ni Ayeng saka niyakap ang dalaga pagkatapos ay chineck ang katawan kung may sugat ba.

"My lady, you made me so much worried this time. You might've lost your consciousness many times but it was the first time that you didn't breath. Thanks God you came back." Sabi ni Ayeng saka niyakap siya ulit.

"Ahh.. ahh.. yeah... glad... I didn't die?" tunog tanong pang sabi ni Yanna. Ang akala din kasi niya ay mamamatay na talaga siya dahil sa dami ng dugo na isinuka niya kanina. Hindi niya alam na lason pala ang ininom niya.

"Where is he?" inilabot niya ang paningin niya nang maalala ang binata. She found him sitting on the floor.

Matthew cleared his throat and stood up.

"Are you okay? How do you feel?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Yanna at bumaba pa sa kama para i-check ang binata.

He was still wearing his bathrobe. 

Hindi makapagsalita si Matthew sa inasta ni Yanna. Ito pa ang may ganang mag-alala sa kanya sa halip  na ito ang muntik nang bawian ng buhay kanina lang.  

"Oh my God! Who's worried to whom now? He just poisoned you!" sabat ni Ayeng saka pumagitna sa kailang dalawa. She pushed the prince again for the second time.

"Yeah–no."

"My lady please come back to your senses. You almost lost your life this time. You should be careful to the people around you. Many people wanted you dead and he is also one of them." galit na sabi ni Ayeng saka galit na hinarap si Matthew.
