THE ADVENTURE OF AUGUST BACK TO EARTH

12. Confusions and Suspicions

August's POV

"Draco, we need you outside!" Hingal na saad ni Scarlet na bigla na lang pumasok dito sa training room.

Napalingon naman ako rito and her eyes are throwing daggers with Draco's hand on my hand at ibinalik nito sa akin ang tingin na kulang na kang ay may maglalabasang black aura na sa katawan nito. So sa akin pa siya galit ngayon? Kitang nakagapos na ako, kasalanan ko pa rin.

"What is the meaning of this?" She asked while heaving. She looks displeased on what she sees.

"Wait for me outside." Saad naman ni Draco na hindi nito sinagot ang taong ni Scarlet. "You're punishment is over. You can eat the food." Saad nito at pinakawalan na ako at umalis na ito sa harapan ko.

Naiwan naman akong nakatigalgal. What the fuck is happening? I already have doubts. Malakas yung pakiramdam ko na may mali kay Draco. I am having suspicion na siya si Cayden, but there are thoughts as well denying those facts. Kaya mas lalo akong naguguluhan. The way he is acting is definitely Cayden. He will not act like that because we made out right? He just saw me at a bar and the culture he came from is way too liberated. Those things are just trivial with him, so why the heck? And why did he say those words?

Aarrgghhh! Mababaliw na ako sa kakaisip. My tears were halted when Scarlet suddenly barged in the training room. She looks like she ran from a heavy marathon. Kung hindi sumulpot si Scarlet kanina, malamang umiyak na talaga ako ng todo. Pero anong gagawin ko? How can I verify na siya ba si Cayden or hindi? Should I ask him? Pero baka kung tanungin ko naman ito ay baka magtaka lang yun kung sino si Cayden kung hindi man siya.

Pero ang hirap eh like, hi ikaw ba si Cayden? Like what the hell? It is just so weird to ask that. Pero wala naman paraan para malaman ko kundi ang tanungin siya pero wala naman akong lakas ng loob para gawin yun.

"God August, what is happening to you? Pull yourself together!" Asik ko sa sarili ko at tumayo na ako. Naagaw naman ang pansin ko ng mga pagkain doon kaya pansamantalang nawala sa isipan ko ang mga tanong ko. Agad akong kumain dahil nagugutom ako. Kanina pa ako nagpipigil. Nawala lang ito dahil kay Draco.

Isinantabi ko muna ang problema ko dahil uunahin ko muna ang nagwawalang mga bituka ko. Naging masarap ang pagkain at naubos ko yun lahat. Pakiramdam ko kasi, isang taon na walang laman yung tiyan ko.

Lumabas naman kaagad ako ng training room at pumanhik sa kusina. Automatic na pumasok naman yung mga guards at kinuha yung mga leftovers doon sa training room. Naghuhugas ako ng kamay ng biglang haklitin ni Scarlet ang braso ko.

"You really have a thick face. Did you intentionally lost so that you can seduce Draco?" She spat. She is fuming mad na pakiramdam ko ay parang sasabog ito na bulkan.

Kinunutan ko naman ito ng noo. "Excuse me? Why would I seduce Draco? And for your information, I did not intentionally failed the exercise, and I was punished for crying out loud-"

"Do you think I will believe you?" She smirked.

"Let go of my arm, hoe or else I'll break you arms." Banta ko rito. Hindi ko na gusto ang tabas ng dila nito. Hindi pa ba punishment yun sa tingin niya? May pagkamasokista pba ang pesteng ito? Fan ba ito ng fifty shades at gusto din nitong igapos? Well ako hindi. I hate it!

"What? Are you going to be a war freak again? You'll break now my bones after you made me collapse?" Ngitngit nito sa akin. She's really provoking me.

Ngumisi naman ako. "I won't hesitate, Scarlet. I don't feel mercy towards you." I spat towards her.

Ngumisi naman ito. "Ha! Do you know why do I hate you more? Because of you, Draco pleaded on your behalf not to kick you out from the organization and stripping you off." Mapaklang saad nito sa akin. "I don't even see why he's doing that. The day you messed with me was the day when your career ended, but Draco stepped in. He was pleading and I hate you for making him plead because of you! You don't even deserve it. You are just a war freak that doesn't think about the consequence."
