Chapter Forty-two: Broken again

- Ezra Alexandra -

Nang marinig ni Ezra ang huni ng mga ibon sa labas, she wanted to curse Enzo for opening the window. Ayaw niyang gumising. Ayaw niyang imulat ang kanyang mga mata dahil sa naghihintay sa kanya ngayong araw.

Ezra can hear Enzo's footsteps around the room. Hindi na siya magtataka kung bakit andito ito sa kwarto niya ng ganito kaaga.

She pulled the duvet over her head to block everything out ngunit agad rin itong nawala.

Enzo sat next to her, naka simangot itong tinignan ni Ezra. "I don't wanna get up"

"You have to" He smiled down at her, brushing the stray hair off her face with his fingers.

"Ayaw ko. Can't I just call in sick?"

"You can't," umiling ito, giving her a sympathetic smile.

Naging best friend talaga ni Ezra ang kama noong mga nakaraang araw. She barely goes out of her room at home, si Enzo nalang ang pumupunta sa kwarto niya. Ito lang kasi ang gusto niyang makausap. She hasn't talked to her parents since. Hindi pa naman ganon katagal iyon, ilang araw palang ngunit feeling niya sobrang tagal na ng sama ng loob niya dito. She just couldn't help it.

Why didn't they tell her?

Tsaka niya lang naramdaman ito when she was in the same room as them. Bakit kailangan itago pa nito ang isang bagay na makakapagpabago ng buhay niya?

For the goddess' sake, she's going to be the new Luna of Red Claw if she accepts Aiden!

She's going to be the Luna of Wolves. Wolves!

How are they going to accept a Half Blood as a Luna?

Ezra was born to lead but not a pack. For heaven's sake, ganito ba talaga ang isusukli sa kanya dahil sa pagiging bossy niya? The Goddess wants her to lead a freakin' pack?

Kahit anong anggulo dehado siya.

She's different. She's not fit for their world.

Sa mga nakaraang araw talaga nasa phase siya ng denial.

She needs to choose between accepting or rejecting Aiden Lockhart.

Aiden gave her time. Sa pag lipas ng oras, sa pag tagal ng araw na iniisip niya ang lahat mas lalo lang siya naguguluhan. There are times na konti nalang matatanggap na niya ang sitwasyon niya ngayon but a voice will come nagging at her head to reject him para hindi mawala sa kanya ang buhay niya ngayon.

"Enz," Ezra tears up, looking up at her twin. She's been feeling really emotional these past few days too. "What should I do?"

"You want an honest opinion?" Enzo smiled. "Choose whatever makes you happy. No regrets, Ez. Life is too short for regrets"

He leaned down to kiss her forehead. "No one pressuring you in this but you have to keep in mind na merong ibang involved sa magiging decision mo. Maliligo lang ako, pag balik ko dapat naka ayos ka na din. I'll be back"

Wala rin siyang ginawa nang umalis ang kambal. Nanatili lang siya sa kama ng naka pikit hanggang sa marinig niya muli ang pag bukas ng pinto. She had her back turned to the door kaya hindi niya alam kung sino ang pumasok.

An arm wrapped around her, she did not flinch under her cousin's familiar touch.

"How are you feeling?"

Binuksan ni Ezra ang kanyang mata to answer him that she is obviously not feeling alright ngunit naramdaman niyang may kumikiliti sa talampakan niya.
