Chapter Twenty-eight: An arrow through the heart

- Ezra Alexandra -

"Kailan kayo uuwi?" Ezra voice fell nang mantanggap niya ang tawag ng kanilang Dad noong gabing iyon. Sinabi nitong may dadaluhang Summit ang mga Sinclaire at Woodsen sa Italy sa sunod na linggo kaya maliit ang chance na maka dalo pa ang mga magulang nila sa Family na gaganapin dito sa Academy.

"By the end of the week pa baby. I'm sorry if we can't come," halata rin ang lungkot sa boses ng Daddy niya. "We know how you're looking forward to family day"

"Okay lang Dad," hindi rin naman niya maitago ang lungkot. She saw her reflection on her vanity mirror, the bitter smile was the evidence of the sadness she's feeling.

"Kaysa naman iwan mo sila Mom diba? Baka kung ano pang mangyari sa kanila" And besides their Dad really had to be there dahil kasama talaga ito entourage ng mga Sinclaire tuwing out of country trip. "I totally understand Daddy, no worries"

Tinaasan niya ng kaonti ang kanyang boses for it to sound lively. "Kami-kami nalang dito. I'm sure we'll have fun!"

She highly doubt it. Family day is going to be boring this year.

"Where's your brother?"

Sinulyapan naman niya si Enzo na naka higa sa kama at naka takip ang mata gamit ang kanang braso. "Sleeping like the usual. Where are you guys ay right now?"

"Council. Just keeping your Mom company with late night appointments"

"Oh alright. Tell Mom don't stress herself. Goodnight Daddy!"

The call ended, binato niya ang phone kay Enzo na sakto namang tumama sa dibdib nito. Her twin didn't even stir.

Umupo siya sa tabi nito and pwersahang tinanggal ang kamay na naka takip sa mata nito.

Enzo popped one eye open and asked, "What?" in a very raspy voice.

Ezra seriously doesn't know what's with her twin. Before their Dad called, bigla nalang pumasok si Enzo sa kwarto niya at humiga sa kama looking all dazed. Kahit sa klase, imbis na tulog ay nakikita niyang tulala ito. She'd rather see him sleep. Pansamantala niyang kinalimutan ang tampo dito para alamin kung anong meron.

Like she can pry the truth out of him, at least she'll try.

"You look dazed and confused these past few days. And sometimes you got that wondering look on your face katulad ng itsura mo ngayon.What's with you huh?" She lightly punched Enzo's shoulder to get his attention. Naka tingin kasi ito sa kisame.

"Ez..." Enzo trailed. "Anong tingin mo mangyayari sa future?"

Ezra didn't know where his question came from. She then propped herself on her elbows to look at him. "Honest answer? I seriously don't know Enz. Why not ask Mom? Mas valid kasi yung kanya. May possibility talagang mangyari and her visions can be subjective too when you want to see ours"

"What about unlikely pairs?"

"Please elaborate"

"You know... yung hindi mo inaasahang magkakatuluyan?"

Napaupo bigla si Ezra. "Don't tell me may gusto ka kay Flame?!"

"What?! Bakit si Flame agad?" Enzo snorted.

"Why not Flame?"

"I don't like Flame okay? Nagtatanong lang naman ako"

"For sure may pinanggalingan 'yang pag tatanong mo"

Enzo didn't answer instead he looked away and said, "Forget it. Forget I even asked anything"

Tumayo na ito at agad na lumabas. Wala naman siyang balak na badtripin ang kambal niya ngunit mukhang may mali siyang nasabi. She was about to run after him when she caught a whiff of an unfamiliar smell yet somehow she knew she smelled something like it before. Hindi nga lang dito sa Academy.
