Unopened Rose (DRAFT! DRAFT!)

Chapter 16

------

Luke tried tp suppresed her laughter but failed. He laughed out loud in front of his Brother. 

"You know what, brother? I won't lie but it is the first time that I was happy of what she did. It is way more funnier than the jokes that she made." tatawa-tawang sabi ni luke.

Hindi nagsalita si Matthew at tiningnan ng masama ang kapatid. 

He was looking at his swollen black eye in the mirror. Buti na lang at bumalik si Yuhan sa loob kaya nakita siya nito at dinala sa kwarto niya. Pero yon nga lang nandito ang kapatid niya kinabukasan at nakita nito ang hitsura niya. He tried to cure it with his power but the blackness around his eye still stays. He might need Yanna's hand on her eyes to heal it.

He just can't believed she punched her hard on his face. He was even called a pervert whereinfact, he didin't say anything when she just lifted her dress and showed him her tattoo that night. 

Was I wrong? aniya sa sarili. 

Tumayo siya at bahagyang tinulak patalikod ang bawat gilid ng damit niya gamit ang kamay. 

She is different now, how could she heal the dying person by her hands like some kind of God?

He looked at his right hand when he felt hot but then gone quickly. 

He needs to practice and learn his ice power before the family hunting will happen. Alam niyang may paplanuhin na naman ang kapatid niya tulad ng lagi nitong ginagawa. Lalo na ngayong mukhang may alam ito sa sekreto niya. 

He already sent a letter to Leah, the disciple of Lydia. Sigurado siyang natanggap na nito ang sulat na pinadala niya at darating na ito dito pagkalipas ng ilaw ng araw. He wanted Lydia to come here. Pero gustuhin man niya ay wala siyang magawa dahil alam niyang wala palagi sa bahay nito ang matanda. 

 "Guard the consort and don't let her go out." sabi niya kay Yuhan. 

Guilty naman na napayuko si Yuhan at napansin ni Matthew yon. 

"What happened?" seryosong tanong niya kay Yuhan. 

"She..." matagal bago ipinagpatuloy ni Yuhan ang sasabihin at tumingin kay Luke.

"What did you do?" baling niya kay Luke. 

"I... I sent her outside to buy me some books." sagot ni Luke kay Matthew saka yumuko.

Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ni Matthew at nag-abot ang mga kilay. 

"You what? You send her to buy some of your stupid books? Are you kidding me?" tunog galit na tanong niya kay Luke. 

Una, ay hindi niya alam kung anong trip ng kapatid niya para utusan ang dalaga na bumili ng mga sariling libro na gawa nito. At sigurado siyang sumunod naman agad ang dalaga sa utos ni Luke dahil sa kagustuhan din nitong makalabas. 

"How long did she went outside?" pigil ang sarili na tanong niya sa kapatid. 

"About an hour ago?" tunog tanong pa nitong sagot sa kanya. 

He gritted his teeth and looked at Yuhan.

"Go look for her. You know it is dangerous for her to go outside." 

"Yes, your highness."

"My lady, do you think Prince Luke was really genuine by apologizing to you?" 

Yanna stopped walking and looked at Ayeng. Manina pa hindi mapakali si Ayeng tungkol sa inasal ni Luke kanina.

Ngumiti si Yanna.
