NOBLE SERIES#2: ALLURING THE DUKE

CHAPTER 15

Hot. Nakakapaso.

I still managed to visit, Summer, in the hospital she was in. I left Zalana outside of her room.

"I'll just talk to her dito ka lang." Saad ko.

Tumango ito.

Bumuntong hininga ako at pinihit Ang door knob, Pagkapasok ko pa lang ng kwarto n'ya ay nakita ko na agad s'yang naka titig sa kawalan.

"Summer..." I called.

She glanced me and forced a smile. "Yarz..."

I smiled. "No need to worry, he's okay. I assisted him."

She smiled like I gave her an idea to continue from living again.

"T-thank you." She replied.

Umupo ako sa may tabi n'ya sa may upuan na nasa gilid kaharap n'ya. May apple na nakabalat na sa gilid n'ya.

"You didn't faint." I said and brought the sliced apple to my mouth.

"You really know everything I do."

"We're Best friend. Kilala ko na ata lahat ng galaw mo at takbo ng iniisip mo."

"Gaya ng?"

"In order to save him from your sisters wrath you made yourself collapsed like you fainted. Though if I'm your director I'll give you an applause for a wonderful acting." I said and opened the juice bottle.

Uminom ako roon saka inilapag muli sa mesa.

Umiling iling ito sa harapan ko. "Ashame. You're not a director." She said.

I laughed. "Where's your sisters?" I asked when I noticed they're not here.

"Spring left. Winter is buying foods, I think while Autumn assisted our plane tickets." She replied.

Tumango ako bago tumayo sa pag kakaupo. I looked at her once again.

"Guess, I should leave now." I muttered.

We did the beso thing. Her eyes held hope. I think she's guessing what happen to, Thelonius after I left.

"Goodbye, Yarz. Ingat," she said.

I nodded before gripping the door knob. Lumabas na ako ng kwarto n'ya at nakita ko agas si Zalana na nasa labas naka sandal sa may pader.

Pinag titinginan s'ya ng mga tao na nadaan mapa nurse o doctor. Maski mga matandang naka wheel chair ay sinusulyapan s'ya.

Umiling iling ako. Kahit wala s'yang ginagawa ang dami na agad ng atensyon na nakukuha n'ya. God's favorite.

"Hey..." He murmured the moment he saw me.

"Oh?"

"Is your friend okay now?" He asked and approached me.

I nodded my head. "Yeah... I guess?"

Nagsimula kaming maglakad hangang sa maabot na namin ang elevator. Pero bago pa ako makapasok ay may nahagip ang mga mata ko.

It's Thelonius. May benda ang kanyang panga at kamay tumatakbo ito. Bago pa maka sulyap si Zalana sa tinitignan ko ay agad ko syang hinila papasok ng elevator para hindi na s'ya makapag tanong.

"What was that?" He asked calmly.

"Uh... Nakakita ako ng multo." Saad ko.

"A what?"

"Multo nga! 'di mo ba 'yun alam?" Naiinis kong tanong at pinindot ang ground floor.

He massaged his temple. "I know what it means. But, Really? Lie better."
