Alpha Dale (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 27

CANDACE saw Bryan just as she entered the room. Ilang araw na hindi ito pumasok at hindi rin ito umattend ng Acquaintance Party ng College Department nila last week. Ayon kay Analie, may emergency raw sa pamilya nito.

Umupo siya sa upuan niya at tinignan si Bryan. "How are you?"

Sandaling natigilan si Bryan dahil sa tanong ni Luna Candace. Hindi niya kasi inaasahan na magtatanong ito sa kaniya ng ganoon. "I'm fine, Luna."

"That Luna thing again." Sabi ni Candace.

Tumikhim si Bryan. "Sorry. May iniisip lang ako but I'm fine."

Tumango si Candace. "Ilang araw kang nawala. Are you sure you're fine?"

Bryan smiled. "I'm fine, Candace. Don't worry about me."

"Don't worry about him, Ace. Marami lang siyang iniisip kaya nagkakaganiyan 'yan." Then Analie leaned to Candace. "He's getting married by the way. That's why he's busy."

Lumaki ang mata ni Candace. "Really?" Sabay baling niya kay Bryan.

"Ang ingay mo." Sinamaan ni Bryan ng tingin si Analie.

Analie just smiled and shrugged her shoulder.

"Are you really getting married?" Candace asked excitedly to Bryan.

Tumango si Bryan. "Next month."

Masaya si Candace para kay Bryan. "So, who's the lucky girl?" She asked.

Ngumiti si Bryan at may kinuha sa bag nito. "Here. I personally invited you. Alpha – I mean, your boyfriend was invited too."

"He's the Alpha." Sabi ni Analie.

Candace ignored Analie's word and happily accepted the invitation. "Thank you. I will definitely go."

Tumango si Bryan. It was an honor for their family that the Luna accepted the invitation. Yeah, as soon as Queenie came back, he already prepares for their wedding. Hindi na siya makapaghintay na pakasalan si Queenie. They are mates but Noah was strict. Bantay-sarado nito si Queenie kaya naman gusto na niya itong mapakasalan para wala ng masabi si Noah.

But then Candace remembered Dale, she sighed. Nangalumbaba siya sa mesa niya habang naghihintay ng instructor. Ang mga kaklase naman nila ay may kaniya-kaniyang mundo.

Napansin ni Analie ang hitsura ni Candace. "Anong nangyari sa 'yo?" Tanong niya sa kaibigan.

"Wala." Walang ganang tugon ni Candace.

Tinusok ni Analie ang tagiliran ni Candace. "Spill the bean, best friend."

Candace sighed and looked at Analie. "Who is Miles?"

Parehong natigilan si Bryan at Analie.

Analie looked at Bryan.

Bryan looked away and shakes his head. "I know nothing."

Tumikhim naman si Analie. "Nag-away kayo ni Kuya Dale dahil sa kaniya?"

Candace nodded. "Dale told me everything but I don't know. I felt uncomfortable knowing na malapit ang Miles na 'yon kay Dale." She said out of jealousy.

"You're jealous?"

Tinignan ni Candace ng masama si Analie. "Hindi pa ba halata sa mukha ko?" Umirap siya.

Natawa si Analie saka pinisil ang pisngi ni Candace. "You're so cute when you're like this." She smiled. "Don't worry, babantayan ko si Kuya Dale para sa 'yo. Kian will guard him too."

Candace tsked. "Parang sinasabi mo naman na wala akong tiwala sa kaniya."

"Hindi naman sa ganun." Sabi ni Analie. "Pero may karapatan kang magselos. Nakita ko na ang Miles na 'yon. Maganda ka pero walang-wala siya sa ganda mo. Don't worry."
