Savior of The Moon

Kabanata 20

Ynarra look at Dmitri with worry. Sinadya niyang mag pahuli upang sabayan ang binata sa pag lakad. He was quiet the whole time ever since he came back. Ngayo'y tinatahak na nila ang daan pauwi. Josh got his lips wounded by Dmitri hard punch.

She feels bad for him but he deserved it. Kaya hindi na lamang niya pinapansin ang matatalim ba tingin nito sa kaniya. It also seems like the Lazonta cousins are all mad at her because of their flaming stares earlier but she didn't mind any of them.

"Uh..." She tried to find the words to speak. Binalik niya ang tingin sa maputing buhanging nilalakaran. Kahit nasa malayo'y rinig niya ang malakas na alon ng dagat. "Sorry sa nangyari kanina–"

"Don't say sorry when you didn't even do anything wrong." Her lips parted by the words that left his mouth. "None of it is your fault anyway." His brows met when his cousin's words played in his mind. Parang kumulo tuloy ulit ang dugo niya.

Dahang dahan na itinaas ng dalaga ang kaniyang tingin. She saw how the orange-yellow sky reflected in his black siren and how the wind swayed the strands of his black as peach hair. Bumaba ang kaniyang tingin hanggang sa makita ang ang duguang kamao nito.

A little gasp escape her mouth. Wala sa sariling hinawakan niya ang kamay ng binata kaya't pareho silang natigil sa pag lalakad. His throat went dry by her touch. Sinuring maigi ng dalaga ang kamao niya. "Dumudugo..." Mahina niyang ani na hindi nakatakas sa pandinig ng binata.

"I'm okay." He gently withdrawn his hand from her. The silence ate them again. Ynarra just let the wind from the sea hug her as it play with her hair. Pinagmasdan na lamang niya ang mag pipinsang nagsisiyahan na nasa kanilang unahan.

"Josh, what happened?" The loud question from Josh mom welcome them followed by Donya Diona's hysterical gasp. Nasa kanila na din ang atensyon ng mga matatanda sa salas.

"Hijo, what happened to your face?" Dinaluhan nito ang apo. "He got into a fight–" Arcy glance at Dmitri, "with Tri." Kumalat ang pag tataka sa mukha nila lalo na sa magulang ni Dmitri.

"What happened, son?" Agad dinaluhan ni Diana ang anak. The worry is evident on her face. Biglang nakaramdan ng hiya si Ynarra. It was because of her. Paano kung mapagalitan ang binata dahil sa kaniya?

"He attacked me first." Dinuro ni Josh si Dmitri. He's just like a kid complaining to his mom. "I'm not even doing anything wrong–"

"Not doing anything wrong?" Dmitri asked darkly. "Want me to punch you again?" His tone is cold and threatening. Kung nakakamatay lamang ang tingin ay kanina pa nakaratay ang kaniyang pinsan sa talim ng kaniyang mata. Agad sinaway ni Diana ang anak.

"It's that girl's fault!" Tinuro ng isang babaeng pinsan ni Dmitri si Ynarra na bahagyang lumaki ang mata. Everyone went silent. Ang Ina ni Josh at si Donya Diona ay parang naging dragon na handa na siyang apuyan.

All of Lazonta's cousin agreed. Kumunot naman ang nuo ni Matthias. This cousins of his are really testing them. "Yes, it's Ynarra's fault! Kung hindi dahil sa kaniya walang gulo–" Arcy's annoying remark has been cut off by an firm yet elegant voice.

"What the heck is going on?" Lahat sila'y napunta ang atensyon sa sopistikadang ginang. "Ma, Pa." Agad na bumeso sa Matthew sa kaniyang magulang, Diana did that too. Si Matthias at Dmitri naman ay nag mano na lamang sa mga ito.

It's Dmitri's grandparents from his father side. The La Suante. "Maureen, you are here." Unti unti kumalma ang galit ni Donya Diona saka binesohan ang kaniyang matalik na kaibigan.

"Where are the others?" Agad din nitong tanong nang mapansing siya at ang kaniyang asawa lang ang dumalo. "Sorry for I didn't inform you but they can't come right now, Dear," paliwanag nito.
