When the Amazona Fell in Love

CHAPTER 17 ✔

Jellal's POV

I glanced at her. Her aura is giving me an eerie feeling. Kanina pa sya tahimik at malalim ang iniisip.

"Are you sure you're okay"
I asked once again. I know I sounded stupid. Tss.

"Yeah."

I concentrated on driving. Hanggang sa nakarating na sya sa pupuntahan nya.

"Salamat."

Nagmadali syang pumasok dun sa bahay. I know something's wrong.

May nalaman kaya siya?

*Flashback*

Lyon called me. He's a friend of mine which is also a member of Labyrinth. Sya lang ang pinagkakatiwalaan ko. He even knew my true identity and I knew his as well.
Natutulog si Erza kaya I went to our secret meeting place.

"Lyon..."

We're on an abandoned warehouse. Kaya walang nakakita sa amin. I parked the car several meters away.

"Kumusta na?"

He's still a member of Labyrinth. Siya ang nagbibigay sakin ng impormasyon about what's happening to the org.

"I'm okay. So how's the org?"
I said, sitting on the wooden chair.

"Ganun parin. Phoenix is still a threat."

Wala parin talagang nagbago.

"Wala na bang bago?"
I lit a cigar. Hinagis ko ang isang stick kay Lyon at agad din naman nya itong nasalo.

"You. Usap-usapan ka parin. Alam mo namang hanggang ngayon hinahanap ka parin nila."

I see. Its been almost a year pero parang big deal parin sa kanila ang pagkawala ko bigla sa org. Kung bakit ako umalis? Dahil sawa na ako, all this time akala ko ang pagpasok sa mafia ang solusyon sa mga problema ko. But I was wrong. I hate myself for being stupid.

"Keep an eye on them. Alam kong may pinaplano parin silang masama sakin. I wanna know every single detail of their plans."

"Sige." Sabi nya saka tumango.

"Salamat, Lyon."

*end of flashback*

I wonder kung bakit ganun ang reaksyon ni Erza. Di kaya may nakita syang kilala nya na kanyang pinagtataguan?

Nakarating ako sa apartment ni Natsu. Agad kong nadatnan ang dalawa na naglalaro ng billiard sa sala. Several empty cans of beer are on the table.

"Oh! Ang tagal mong dumating." Gray said. Tumira sya at walang mintis na pumasok ang bola.

"May importante lang akong pinuntahan."

Umupo ako sa couch at kumuha ng isang can ng beer. Dire-diretso ko iyong nilagok. I'm still bothered of what had happened earlier.

"So, what are your plans?"
Lumapit si Natsu sakin at umupo sa katapat na couch.

"Plans for what?"

"Mamayang gabi. Ang tagal na kaya nating di gumala."

I sighed. I'm not in the mood to have fun. Ang dami kong iniisip.

"I don't have. I'm staying at home. Matutulog."

"Oh, that's new."

Humalakhak sina Natsu at Gray.
I remained silent.
