THE EMPRESS WAS REINCARNATED INTO A PRINCESS
CHAPTER 48
Cattleya's POV
       Nandito ako ngayon sa hardin ng makita ko si Claude na nakaupo sa isang upuan kaya naman ay lumapit ako sa kaniya at nakiupo din sa kaniyang tabi

"What's bothering you?" tanong ko dahilan upang gulat niya akong tignan pero hindi din yun nagtagal

"Nothing" saad niya dahilan upang mapabuntong hininga ako

"It seems like something is bothering you too much that's why if ever you need to talk to someone just talk to me so that I get to know you more, you know like a friend" nakangiti kong saad, napansin ko naman na napayukom siya ng kaniyang kamao, hindi ko nalang iyon pinansin at napatingin sa magandang tanawin

"Do you..." saad niya dahilan upang tignan ko siya

"Hmm?" tanong ko

"Do you still remember me?" tanong niya atsaka tumingin saakin

"What do you mean?" tanong ko

"I'm the one who left that handkerchief infront of the music room when we were kids" saad niya, napahalumbaba naman ako at inalala ito ng mabuti

"Oh!" saad ko ng maalala ko na ito

"Oh so you're the one who left that handkerchief" saad ko dahilan upang lumiwanag ang kaniyang mukha at napangiti naman ako

"So you're that boy that is listening to my piano music and the boy who saw me crying right?" tanong ko at napatango naman siya

"Thank you" saad ko dahilan upang tignan niya ako

"Huh?" tanong niya

"Thank you for leaving that handkerchief that day because it means a lot to me" saad ko

"W-What do you mean?" takang tanong niya

"Because I got to wipe my tears with the handkerchief and I felt like I got someone who understands me, hmmm so it's you, thank you so much" saad ko sabay ngumiti ng malawak sa kaniya dahilan upang mamula ang kaniyang pisngi at mapayuko

"A-Also..." saad niya

"Hmm?" tanong ko

"Also do you remember the time that we are playing in a garden when we were kids? you bumped into me and you held my hands and took me to somewhere so that we can play" saad niya dahilan upang magulat ako

"Oh so that's also you? what a coincidence" nakangiti kong saad dahilan upang mapangiti siya

"I'm glad that you still remember" saad niya

"Of course I treasure every moment that I'm with my friends and treasure every precious memories" saad ko dahilan upang mapayuko siya

"I-Is that true that you and my brother Anastasius were lovers?" tanong niya

"Yes" saad ko sabay ngiti, napayukom naman siya ng kaniyang kamao at napakagat ng kaniyang labi, nagulat ako ng galit siyang humarap saakin at biglang hinawakan ang aking balikat

"Why?" tanong niya

"C-Claude?" saad ko

"Why him?" tanong niya ulit

"Because I love-" hindi ko na naituloy ang sasabihin ko ng bigla siyang nagsalita ng malakas

"Why not me?!!" frustrated niyang saad dahilan upang mapakunot ako ng aking noo at hinawakan ang kaniyang kamay upang tanggalin sana ngunit mas lalo niya pang hinigpitan ang pagkakahawak saaking balikat

"Claude calm down" saad ko pero napailing lang siya

"Why not me Cattleya? mas nauna naman ako na makilala ka kaysa sa kaniya, just like you said when I left that handkerchief infront of the music room you felt like I comforted you so bakit hindi ako Cattleya?" naiiyak niyang tanong dahilan upang mapatulala ako
