(yumi's pov)
Araw na naman ng klase. At kagaya ng dati, pupunta ako sa klase ko at makikinig. Pero ramdam kong kakaiba ang araw na ito. Sino bang hindi makakaramdam, kung lahat ng mga estudyante ay tila may importating pinaguusapan, at tila kakaiba ang kinikilos ng mga guro. Parang may pinaghahandaan sila.
Pagpasok ko sa klase ay tahimik ang buong estudyante. Naupo ako sa dating pwesto ko at katabi si lea. Tinignan ko naman sya dahil pakiramdam ko ay kakaiba sya ngayon.
"Stop looking at me like that" anya nito. Napangiti naman ako sa kanya.
"Your acting weird right now. Lea, may problema ba?" Tanong ko at hinawakan sya sa balikat. Nilingon naman nya ako at nagulat ako ng kulay ginto ang mga mata nya.
"Haven't you heard the rumors?" Wala sa sarili nitong tanong. Nagkibit balikat naman ako, ayukong nakikinig sa mga usapan ng may usapan kahit na malakas ang paguusap nito.
"The kings and queens are coming?" Hindi sigurado kong sagot. Napabuntong hininga naman sya.
"From East, West, North and South Countries." dugtong nya. That made me clear my thoughts.
"So totoo nga yun? What's the big deal?" Tanong ko. Napatango naman sya.
"Since, we are in the center of all kingdoms. We have the strongest defense system, and has a big land among them," sagot nito. Tumingin muna ito sa mga kaklase namin bago nya ako binalingan ulit ng tingin.
"King and queens with their young warriors are having a 2 weeks vacation here" patuloy nya na ikinagulat ko. Is this a joke?
"Do you know the reason why it is a big deal?" Tanong nya sakin. Nagkibit balikat lang ako.
"Four kingdoms represent the whole nation. And the strength of this school. If one of the kings and queens die. The balance of this world is going to be in chaos. One more thing. It is indeed big deal, because for the first time in the century this is the first time, that the king of Capitol and his delegates is joining" sagot nito. Nakita ko naman syang parang nabunutan ng tinik. It seems like she's keeping this whole information for too long.
"I thought there are only four kingdoms?" Kunot noong tanong ko. Napahinga na naman sya.
"Actually there are five. And the Capitol's king is the most powerful being in this world they say he's a child of both titans. He was raised by zeus and trained by aris. That's why all the kingdoms are under his commands" sagot nya. Tumango tango naman ako. So he must be a very dangerous and special person huh.
"But what about his Queen?" Tanong ko. I don't know but im getting curious about that king.
"He lost her. After getting married and crowning her as his Queen" sagot nya. Nakaramdam naman ako ng kirot sa dibdib sa narinig.
"Masakit rin pala ang kapalaran nya" malungkot kong salita. Napatitig naman sya sakin habang ako ay nakayuko.
"Sort of" rinig kong salita nya. Napatingin naman ako sa kanya, hindi na gold ang kulay nito.
"Anong ibig mong sabihin?" Tanong ko habang nakakunot ang noo ko.
"You know.... They were married at 12 years old. And they were never been friends or whatever, so they are totally not in love with each other when they got married, pero yun ang alam ng lahat. Its just.... For power only" sagot nya, hindi ko nga narinig ang binulong nito pero pinagsawalang bahala ko nalang ito. Mas lalo namang kumirot ang dibdib ko. Bakit may pakiramdam ako na pamilyar sakin ang pangyayareng yan? I may be hallucinating.
"Actually the worst is... The king never seen the Queen's face" salita nya pa.. gulat ang bumakas sa mukha ko dahil don.
"Bakit?" Tanong ko. Tumingin na naman sya sa mga kaklase namin na ngayon ay busy sa mga ginagawa nila.
