Grantham Lucius D'Oasis

Naalimpungatan ako nang maramdaman ang mainit na sikat ng araw na tumatama sa aking mga mata. Dahan-dahan akong umupo at napahilot sa noo.

I didn't know that I fell asleep while working. I remove my glasses before stretching my arms upward. I look outside of my office window and saw the warm sunlight.

"Damn, it's already 8:30," I mumble before standing. Inayos ko muna ang gusot kong long sleeve bago tuluyang lumabas ng kwarto. Nagtaka naman ako nang maabutan sa sala ang seryosong si Xerxes.

"X," I uttered making him look at me. My forehead creases when I saw his bloodshot eyes and pale face, he's also trembling. Lumapit ako dito na puno ng pagtataka.

"What happened?" I saw him shake his head before squinting his eyes.

"I-it's about Saintess," anito na nagpakaba sa akin. I look at Saintess room before seriously looking at Xerxes again.

"What happened to her?" Kinakabahan kong tanong. He shakes his head again before sighing. May butil-butil ng luha ang pumapatak mula sa mata nito.

"She's already awake," anito bago napahilamos sa mukha. "I-i thought she will throw a fit again but she didn't. S-she just looks at me Grantham without emotion and without saying anything." Puno ng takot ang matang tumingin ito sa akin bago mapait na ngumite.

"S-she's not the same anymore Grant. My daughter is not the same anymore. S-she's just seating in her bed motionless. Mas gusto ko pang magwala ito dahil alam ko kung ano ang nangyayare. Kaysa naman sa ganito na tulala lang siya at hindi umiimik. I-i don't know what to do." Tuluyan na itong umiyak bago napayuko. Muli akong tumingin sa kwarto ni Saintess bago tinapik sa kaniyang balikat si Xerxes.

"I'll try talking to her, Xerxes. It's better if you wouldn't panic right now, okay?" I said while looking into his eyes.

I saw the hesitation in his eyes before nodding his head. "I'll trust you this time." Tumango ako dito bago naglakad papunta sa kwarto ni Saintess. I knock on the door and when I didn't hear any response I went inside.

I look at the woman seating silently on her bed while looking outside of the open window. Dahan-dahan akong lumapit dito bago umupo sa kaniyang tabi.

"Saintess," I uttered trying to grab her attention.

She didn't respond to me and just stare blankly outside. I heaved a sigh before trying to touch her but before the tip of my fingers came close to her skin she immediately flinch in her seat. Umawang ang labi ko nang makita ang unti-unting panginginig nito.

"I-i'm sorry, my lady," aniko sa nagpapanik na boses. Nakita ko naman ang sandaling pagkatigil nito bago tumingin sa akin.

"S-silv," she mumbled using her raspy voice before showing me a faint smile.

"W-where is he?" Tulalang tanong nito na nagpatigil sa akin.

"S-aintess you know that he's already dea—" Itutuloy ko na sana ang sasabihin ko dito kaso lang naalala ko ang sinabi ni Reynold.

Don't trigger the lady, sir. You shouldn't say something sensitive that you know will make her mad. She's in her most vulnerable state right now so any form of stress will make her run wild.

I clench my teeth before gently holding Saintess's hand. She didn't flinch but she just stay motionless.

"What do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Tanong ko rito habang pinipisil ang kaniyang kamay. Hindi na ulit ito umimik at parang wala ng naririnig pa. Napapikit na lang ako bago kinuha sa aking bulsa ang aking cellphone. I contacted Reynold's number before placing the phone on my ear.
