Ana

Chapter 47 - Flower blooms again

Calli

Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti nang makita si Hostina na nagmamadaling umalis sa party. Nagtataka naman sina Tita Amanda dahil doon pero hinayaan nalang nila si Hostina. I really like how frustrated she was. I know she's expecting the black meister to make a mess but no one came and I'm happy the league successfully stopped them.

"Ate?" napatingin ako sa kumalabit sa akin at nakita ko ang nakangusong si Amelia kasama si Alyana. Yumuko ako ng kaunti para magpantay kami.

"What's wrong Ame?" tanong ko. Hindi siya sumagot at napatingin sa sahig. Tiningnan ko si Alyana kaya siya na ang sumagot.

"We are looking for Ate Ana, nakita namin siya kanina pero hindi niya kami pinansin" malungkot na wika ni Alyana. I hugged them both, naaawa ako sa kanila but Ana has a job right now and we can't risk these kids' safety.

"Does she hate us?" tanong ni Amelia.

"No, of course not. Busy lang ang Ate Ana mo kaya wala siyang oras ngayon. Don't worry this will end soon okay? It may take awhile so I need you both to be patient okay?"

Both of them are smart so I know they understand it, hopefully. I held their hands and went to a table full of desserts. Kumuha ako ng ilang pagkain doon at ibinigay sa kanila. Ilang sandali pa ay lumapit sa amin si Daffodil na mukhang naliligaw.

"Where have  you been? Kanina pa kita hinahanap" aniya.

"Sorry, I was with Ms. Vice assisting her with her noble duties" palusot ko. Ate Happy is not even doing her noble duties, and by that I mean, talking with some other nobles and sharing their plans.

"Anyway, uuwi na tayo. They are all waiting outside."

"How about these kids?" tanong ko. Ayaw ko naman silang iwan dito.

"Of course, they will come with us. Balik eskwela na bukas kaya kasama sila. Queen Amanda and King Freid are also waiting outside." Sagot niya.

Bago kami umalis doon Amelia packed some food and snacks, even Alyana. Ako naman ang ipinadala nila ng mga pagkain nila at masaya silang lumapit kay Daffodil at hinawakan ang magkabilang kamay nito saka lumakad. Napailing nalang ako.

Nang makalabas kami ay nakita namin silang lahat doon. Even Professor Bremmer and Griffith was there and Ana too who's standing beside the two professors. Nandoon din si Ate Sayaka kasama nila.

"Let's go!" pumasok na kami sa karwaheng inihanda para sa amin.

"Wait, Ana you are not coming with us?" tanong ni President kay Ana. Nakita ko namang sinamaan ng tingin ni Lance si President at umusog pa sa dulo ng upuan.

"She's coming with us. May gagawin pa kami" si Ate Happy na ang sumagot. Napatango nalang si President at pumasok na sa karwahe.

"Ate Ana, let's play when we get back" sabi ni Amelia na nasa may bintana. Napatingin si Ana sa kanya at bigla akong kinabahan. Ano kaya ang isasagot niya. All of us waited for her answer and then she said "not now, maybe soon"

She then walks away and Professor Griffith followed her. Amelia looks so disappointed so I grabbed her and made her sit on my lap.

"See you guys at the Academy" sabi ni Ate Happy.

"Have a safe trip. Seth make sure they are all safe" si Tito Freid. Tumango naman si President.

"Opo papa" aniya.

"Geez Tito, malalaki na kami. We can take care of ourselves" si Mikael. Natawa naman sila sa sinabi niya.

"Mag-iingat kayo. We will visit you when we have time" si Tita Leshara.
