MATALIM ANG TINGING pinukol ni Juno kay Ma'am Latakia.
"You really didn't know anything..." makahulugang bulong ni Ma'am Latakia.
"Let's go?" tanong naman ni Madame Gabbana sa bisita paglapit niya. "Is something's alright here?"
"Yes, Gab. Let's talk things out in your office," alok naman ni Ma'am Latakia.
"We have to go. Nice seeing you... again," baling ni Ma'am Latakia para magpaalam.
Pagkaalis ni Ma'am Latakia ay saka pa lamang ako binalingan ni Juno.
"Totoo ba 'yong sinabi ni Ma'am Latakia? Si Tita Mikee ang best friend ni Count Vladimir noon?" I asked him again.
I've read Count Vlad's journal. He disclosed that it was his best friend whom he had Master Fourth with. Sa madaling sabi, ito ang naging kabit niya habang kasal pa sila ni Countess Amanda. However, he was careful not to reveal her name and where she is now. Ramdam kong pinoprotektahan niya ito.
"Juno, sumagot ka. Alam mong ayoko nang nagsisinungaling," madiing pag-uulit ko.
Juno tried to look away but I made him face me again.
"Si Tita Mikee ba ang best friend ni Count Vladimir?"
"Oo..."
Namilog ang mga mata ko sa gulat. I was kind of expecting it, but it still caught me off guard when he finally said it.
"So... ikaw si Master Fourth?" tanong ko ulit.
Matagal bago siya nakasagot. Hanggang sa nag-iwas siya ng tingin. Ibinalik ko ulit iyon. Juno can't lie to me whenever we lock eyes.
"Sagutin mo ako, Juno!" naiinis kong sabi sa kanya.
"Hindi..." he replied as he stared at me intently. I know he wasn't lying.
"Nagsasabi ka ba ng totoo?"
"Oo, I'm not Fourth. I'm Nueve," he revealed.
Namilog ulit ang mga mata ko sa gulat. Akala ko sasabihin niyang ampon lang siya kaya gano'n pero hindi... He's Master Nueve, the ninth Grimm brother. Pero bakit ang nakalagay sa journal ni Count Vladimir ay ang impormasyong proud daw siya kay Master Nueve sapagkat sinunod nito ang pangarap nitong pag-aralan ang Kasaysayan... Anong Kasaysayan? Isang IT student si Juno... Anong nangyayari? Naguguluhan ako...
"How's that happened? I mean walang masyadong impormasyon si Count Vladimir doon sa journal na tungkol kay Master Nueve. Ibig sabihin ba no'n... dalawang beses siyang nagkaanak kay Tita Mikee?"
