The Prince of the West
"No. Gagamutin ko 'yan. You'll come with me to the palace."
Nababaliw na ba 'tong lalaking 'to? Simpleng hiwa dadalhin pa 'ko sa palasyo. Bakit, may ospital ba doon? Kapal n'ya naman atang magpagamot at sa mga maharlika pa. Natigil ako sa pag-iisip nang higitin na naman niya ang braso ko.
"Wait sandali nga," ano kayang tumatakbo sa utak nitong taong 'to? "Bakit sa palasyo? Nahihibang ka na ba? Dude look, I'm freaking hungry and I need to go home. I can cure this alone 'cause I'm not a toddler anymore," mahabang litanya ko sa kanya, naaasar na kasi ako sa pamimilit niya. Sinisira niya ang plano kong magpahinga.
"I live in the palace," ha? Teka nga, tama ba ang narinig ko?
"Woah woah woah dude," I laugh uncomfortably. Don't tell me he's one of the royalties? That's impossi-
"Priam Yshmael, the first prince of Porto Phrygia," nilahad niya ang kamay niya sa akin. Imbes na kunin ang kamay niya tinawanan ko siya.
"Siraulong 'to, isusumbong kita sa mga maharlika mapagpanggap ka ah," napatigil lamang ako sa pagtawa nang mapansin kong nakakunot ang noo nito sa akin.
"You want proof then," that wasn't a question but a statement. I started feeling something in my feet. I was shocked when there's a soil wrapping and crawling up from my feet to going to my legs.
He was just looking straight in my eyes with his arms crossed. He looked like he's bored. What the hell is this guy's problem?
I stayed calm, now convinced that he's really a prince. What a day!
"Okay, I believe you, now let me go or else mabubugbog kita," I'm quite pissed already. I hate how he paralyzed me with his soil.
"You're really something," he said and looked at me closer like I was an interesting book. Our distance makes me suffocate.
"Promise me that you'll come with me and I'll let you go," bulong niya sa akin na nakapagpatindig ng mga balahibo ko. Bakit kailangan bumulong? Punyeta hindi naman ako bingi ah.
He chuckled when he saw me stiffened because of his move. Nakalayo na siya pero parang hinahabol pa rin 'yong puso ko ng isang daang kabayo.
"I can go without your help dude," ngumisi ako para itago ang kakaibang pakiramdam na nararamdaman ko.
Nagsimula nang maging abo ang lupang pumipigil sa katawan ko. Sa sobrang init ng kapangyarihan ko malamang magiging abo ito, kahit lupa pa.
"See?" he look at me like he's enjoying watching what I'm doing. He smiled at me which made my forehead creased.
"You know that you're forbidden, right? You'll go with me or I'll tell the council?" great! Now he's blackmailing me.
The Councils are the one who are responsible to assure the peace and order among the four kingdoms. They are also responsible for those forbidden like me.
"Fine just make sure that you'll not tell anyone about this," I glared at him and he just smiled, mukhang tanga. Mabilis naman akong kausap.
"Tigilan mo 'ko sa kakangiti mo Yshmael, I'm serious about this matter. I can't die," because I really can't. That was what my mom told me before she died, stay alive. And as long as it can be, I want my life to be peaceful.
"Wow second name basis, so what's your name Miss Basagulera?" oh he likes teasing me now? And what? Basagulera? Sapakin ko kaya nguso nito?
"It's for you to find out," tinalikuran ko na siya at nagsimula nang maglakad.
