Unopened Rose (DRAFT! DRAFT!)

Chapter 38

"If I knew that this will be the consequences of deciding my own failed plan. I wouldn't do it. I should just marry Chloe instead." Sabi ni Matthew habang maingat at buong lakas na ibinagsak ang palakol sa kahoy.

Naghiwalay agad ito dahil sa malakas na pagpalo niya.

"Ha! I know you wouldn't do it. That's why you came up with your stupid plan." Sabat naman ni Luke habang nakaupo sa harap niya at kumakain ng mansanas.

Tinayo ni Matthew ang palakol at hinihingal na tiningnan ng masama si Luke.

"Why do I feel that you are enjoying yourself of teasing me after what happened? Are you happy to see me like this?" Inis na tanong ni Matthew kay Luke.

Tumayo si Luke mula sa pagkaka-squat at lumapit kay Matthew.

Umiiling-iling si Luke kasabay nang pagtunog ng kanyang dila.

Tumigil naman si Yuhan sa ginagawa at tiningnan ang dalawang prinsipe.

"Just think of it, what if Yanna doesn't have any power to heal you after your punishment. It would be so funny to see an ugly prince with a shiny head clothe in white robe like a steamed bun burnt under the heat of the sun in this cold weather." Pang-aasar ni Luke.

"You!"

Yuhan snorted out but quickly stopped when he looked at him to shut him down.

"Are you doing this because my wife can't be yours?"

Tumawa si Luke.

"Come on. I know she is your wife and I know that you know that I like her but it doesn't mean that I'll be greedy and disrespectful to take her away from you. It is just interesting to see a cold ruthless warrior prince is uxorious to his wife."

"You! Come here! I am going to seal that mouth of yours forever!" Inis na sigaw niya at bahagyang hinuli si Luke na agad namang tumakbo habang tumatawa.

"Your highness!"

"What?!" Wala sa sariling malakas na sigaw niya sa tawag ni Ayeng sa kanya.

Napayuko naman agad si Ayeng dahil sa pagkakagulat at takot.

"My lady, ask you to fill her bath tub because she wants to take a bath." Magalang na sagot ni Ayeng.

Inayos naman agad ni Matthew ang sarili saka taas-noo na hinarap si Ayeng.

"Tell her that I may be her husband but I am still a royal Prince. She should serve me and not me who will serve her! I am the master of this whole household and I am the owner of this house. I won't follow her orders. If she want to take a bath, then she needs to fetch water by herself!"

"Really?"

Matthew freezed when he heard Yanna's voice behind her.

Humagikhik naman agad si Luke samantalang si Yuhan ay agad namang nagpatuloy sa pagsibak ng kahoy nang tingnan niya ito ng masama.

Napakagat-labi si Matthew nang umikot si Yanna at nakatiklop ang mga braso na hinarap siya.

"Ah... That..." Nakangiwi siyang ngumiti habang nag-iisip ng maaaring isasagot.

"That... I–heard those were the phrases from those uxorious husbands wanted to say to their wives... But I ... Guess... Uhmm they would never say it and I... I... Of course will fetch a clean water for my consort." Naiilang na ngumiti si Matthew bilang sagot saka nagmamadaling naglakad patungo sa kung saan ang banyo habang sinusundan lang siya ng tingin ni Yanna bago pumasok ang dalaga sa kwarto nito.

Inilabas ni Matthew ang ulo sa labas ng pinto nang wala na si Yanna saka inis na tiningnan si Luke na malakas na tumatawa habang naglalakad papunta sa kanya at kumakain ng mansanas nito.
