Chapter Thirty-nine: What am I?

- Asher Lars -

Hati ang atensyon ni Asher kay Ezra, sa mga magulang niya, kay Flame at Zeus. Parang nadadamay siya sa sa gloomy mood ni Ez dahil magkatabi lang sila, si Flame naman ay nakaupo sa harapan niya. Good thing na medyo malayo si Zeus dito but he'll catch Flame looking at Zeus from time to time. Sinisipa pa ni Asher ang paa nito sa ilalim ng lamesa just to stop her from staring too long.

"Ash"

He lifted his gaze to Adrianna Sinclaire dahil sa pag tawag nito sa kanya.

"Wala ka pa bang girlfriend?"

He blinked at her question. Hindi siya nakasagot agad. All the witty answers suddenly vanished.

"He has a lot of girls pero walang girlfriend" Ezra chided.

Sinipa ni Asher ang paa ni Flame dahil sa mahinang pag tawa nito sa sagot ni Ezra. Nang tignan niya ulit ang mga naghihintay ng sagot niya, nakita niyang nagpipigil ng ngiti ang mga ito. Looks like his move on Flame did not go unoticed.

Alam na niya kung ano ang iniisip ng mga ito.

"Wala po akong girlfriend," he immediately clarified.

"Talaga?"

"Talaga po" He gave them all his sweetest smile. "Si Zeus po baka gusto niyong itanong"

A tissue wad suddenly came in his way na galing naman sa inis na si Zeus.

"Oo nga naman," Erised Woodsen suddenly looked interested. "Ikaw ang mailap sa babae parang Papa mo noon"

"Girls are scared of him, Auntie Eris" Aiane butts in.

"Nonsense. Ang gwapo kaya nito kapag ngumiti"

Nagpipigil ng tawa si Asher dahil halos hindi na mapinta ang mukha ni Zeus kaya si Flame naman ngayon ang sumipa sa paa niya.

Lahat ng nasa table ay naghihintay ng sagot nito.

Asher suddenly realized his mistake nang balingan niya muli si Flame. She looks uncomfortable.

Ezra intentionally drops her fork with a loud clank, gazing at Zeus with a sadistic smirk. "Si Asher ang bilis sumagot so it's believable na wala nga siyang girlfriend. Bakit ikaw ang tagal? Tick tock Sinclaire"

Looks like lumulusot parin ang gana nitong mang asar kahit na bad mood.

There's a part of Asher na gustong marinig ang magiging sagot ni Zeus but another part of him was hurt for Flame sa kung ano man ang magiging sagot nito. He shouldn't have pushed the spotlight to Zeus. Very, very wrong move Asher Lars.

"Oooh looks like you're hiding something," Ezra mouth dramatically fell open. "What's her name?"

"I thought you were in a bad mood," comment naman ni Enzo sa kambal.

"My bad mood just went off the window," Ezra was still smirking at Zeus.

"Kuya?" Aiane raised her brow at Zeus, waiting for an answer.

"Why am I suddenly on the hot seat---"

"No one cares. We want an answer!" Ezra cutts Zeus off.

"Wag niyo nang pilitin kung ayaw" Asher coughed in attempt to divert all their attention but hindi ito gumana.

Zeus smirked, looking down at his plate. He let out a deep breath before answering, "We just broke up" and with that he got up and left.

"Oops" Ezra chuckled, watching Zeus' retreating figure. She doesn't look guilty at all.
