Napangiti ako habang pinagmamasdan ang painting ni Agness at Marguerite sa harap ko.
The two women in the painting have an uncanny similarity. Both young and beautiful who possess the same coffee brown eyes, implying that Halcon got his green eyes from his father.
Agness is just a little girl in this painting. Marguerite looked young and very beautiful in her early 20’s. The style and strokes of the two paintings are different, indicating that the two masterpieces were made by two different artists.
“Markus must have loved your mother so much,” I said as I eyed the name of the artist on the bottom left side of Marguerite's portrait.
‘M. Evalon’ was written in black ink.
Lumapit si Halcon at pumwesto sa likuran ko. Tinitingnan ang painting ng kanyang ina.
“Minahal niya ang aking ina hanggang sa kanyang kamatayan. Ganyan rin ang mangyayari sa 'kin. Mamahalin kita hanggang sa hindi na kayang tumibok ng puso ko,” he whispered as he wraps his arms on my waist from behind. He dunked his head and gave butterfly kisses on my neck.
“Ipipinta mo rin ba ako kung ganoon?” I teased, covering the sudden sadness that rose up upon hearing what he said. I don't want him to die loving me alone. I want us to be together until the end.
“Mhm. Gusto mo ba? Hindi ako kasing galing ni Gideon ngunit kaya kong ipakita sa lahat kung gaano ka kaganda sa loob at labas.”
Speaking of... “Oo nga pala. Hindi mo sa 'kin nabanggit na may kapatid ka pala.” Hinarap ko siya at inilagay ang mga braso sa kanyang batok. I remembered him mentioning Gideon yesterday during our meeting with the crew.
“Si Gideon ang kapatid ko sa aking ama.”
Gusto kong magtanong tungkol sa kanyang ama pero alam kong hindi pa siya handa, maybe later —?
“Isang admiral ang aming ama. Isa siya sa pinagkakatiwalaan ng kanilang hari. Ayaw niyang malaman ng iba ang tungkol sa amin sapagkat ikasisira iyon ng kanyang pangalan at ang tiwala ng hari.”
I was shocked for a bit. Not expecting him to tell something about his father. Tumango ako nang makabawi.
“Ibig sabihin, anak niya rin sa labas si Gideon?”
“Uh huh. Ang ina ni Gideon ay asawa ng isang duke. Alam ng duke kung sino ang tunay na ama ni Gideon ngunit hindi na nila ito isiniwalat dahil sa maaaring eskandalong dala nito. Nag-iisa siyang anak ng mag-asawa. Dalawang taon ang nakararaan ay namatay ang kanyang ama at naipasa sa kanya ang posisyon.”
“Binibisita niya ba kayo? Have he given you any support?”
“Hindi.” Lumamlam ang kanyang mga mata at bumalatay ang galit roon ngunit agad din nawala.
