Cruel Fate "Forbidden Power"

MDFA- Chapter Forty

Pain

Ezra Sin Angel

I TRIED TO control my freaking self, but I failed. I cried silently, tahimik pero tuloy-tuloy ang luha ko. Para akong lantang gulay na parang wala ng pakielam sa paligid.

Nasa harapan ko si zyon at tinitignan lang ako, walang ibang ginagawa kundi antayin ang pagtahan ko.

Nilabas nya ang panyo nya saka pinunasan ang luha ko. I can see the intense anger on his eyes, his snowflakes pupil glow in a second.

"dapat di muna kita pinabalik dito... " saad nya sa gitna ng pagpupunas ng luha ko.

"D-do you know s-something about this?" I ask him. He paused.

Napapikit ako, kung wala syang alam pwedeng may idea sya.

"Gusto kong sabihin sayu noon" I sigh. "But I saw the determination on your eyes"  nagumpisa nanaman ang pagsakit ng lalamunan ko.

I breath again and again, I should control myself, kanina pa ako iyak ng iyak dahil sa kaniya.

"I will carry you.. We will go back to my empire" naangat ang tingin ko sa lahad nya ng kamay.

"N-no! Ayokong magmukhang apektado—" he cut me off

"Lalo ka lang masasaktan, angel" umiling ako ng paulit ulit.

"Yun nga—! Kapag umalis ako, magmumukhang apektado ako" he sigh heavily, he even brush his hair using his finger "Ill stay"

Hindi na ako nakapalag ng buhatin nya ako at nadatnan ko na lang ang sarili ko na nakahiga sa kama at kinukumatan nya ako.

"I want to be stronger " I said while closing my eyes.

"No— in the next day you will rest and rest. " napabangon ako.

Para akong bata na puro lang tulog. Magsasalita pa sana ako ng biglang nag ring ang bell, or a specific tone kapag may iiaanouce sila or what.

"Good day to all our gifted students. I will just inform all of you, that the ranking will be held this coming week. Prepair yourself. This will be a month-long ranking. And the winner will be our rank 1. —as usual, this will serve as your  bulletin, if you are increasing or what. Or if you can get a rank or position. So, brace yourself. "

Naangat ko ang tingin ko kay zyon. Ranking? May ganun palang nangyayari dito? Anong rankings? Sino naman kaya ang kasalukuyang rank 1 ngayon?

"Smoke is the current rank 1"

Wala akong ginawa buong araw kundi mag ensayo at palakasin ang sarili ko. I dont know, but I have this urge to defeat him. Masyado siguro akong ambisyosa para hangarin ko na maaalis ko sya sa rank nya.

My sweats our flowing down to my neck, until it reach my collar bone.

"Oh, damn" napaayos ako ng tayo ng marinig ko ang malutong na mura ni zyon.

"why? " I ask innocently while wiping my sweats on my back.

"I can't reach it. Please do it for me."  I said as I offer him the towel.

He blinked his eyes again and again like he is asking for confirmation or what.

"Seriously, angel? "he ask me. I extended my hands more to obliged him to do it so he sigh and turn me.

"bakit parang nagnginginig ka dyan? "I ask him, my eyeball are on the edge of my eyes trying to see him.

"aww" mariin akong pumikit ng maramdaman ko yung sakit sa mata ko.

Agad nya akong hinarap saka ako kinamusta. Natigil ang ginagawa namin ng biglang may tumikhim.

I stand straight, looking directly on his eyes.  Trying to do an access. Trying to find that gleam.

"Go ahead in headmasters office. Now. " authority filled on his low voice. Malayo sya sakin ng mga pitong hakbang, pero pilit kong inaabot yung mata nya.

"Again. " ngusong sabi ni zyon. Hinawakan nya ang wrist ko para hilain pero agad ko itong binawi.

"I want to talk to him" I whispered. His eyes blinked again.

"What? " I look at him, having this eyes to eye contact.

He sigh. "Okay, I'll wait for you, outside. " yumuko sya ng kaunti sakin saka umalis.

Now, only me and smoke was left. In this hall. In this ground. Seven steps away from him, surrounded by, trees, cliff and falls. Dried leaves are slowly falling at the ground.

I miss you, smoke.

Tumalikod sya sa akin habang nakapamulsa. Napakadali sa kaniyang gawin iyon. Pero bakit sa akin?

"Smoke. " I uttered, sapat na ang lakas ng boses ko para marinig nya ito.

"Stop chasi—"

Naputol sya ng bigla akong naghagis sa kaniya ng sandamakmak na patalim na gawa sa mga dahong nasa lupa.

"Fvck" abala siya sa pag iwas, hindi na nya ako napansin na nakalapit sa kaniya.

My hands are on the air trying to control those leaves.

"Go on. Suffer. " I coldly said.

Hindi nya magawang magamit ang kapangyarihan nya dahil halos lamunin sya ng mga dahon, unti unti na syang nagkakasugat sa bawat parte ng katawan nya.

"So coward, smoke" I smirk. His eyes glow, a sign that I maked him angry.

"Whats on you? What are your plans? With headmasters uh-huh? " nawala yung galit sa mga mata nya.  It was filled of confusion.

"Im going to defeat you. Ill be on top. " I said, then stop the leaves.

"Do you think, you can do it? " mapaghamon ang boses niya.

"You are so soft-hearted. Madali kang malinlang kaya hindi ka nararapat sa itaas. " he said, then he chuckled. Ilang hakbang na lang ang layo ko sa pintu. Im going to tease you.

"Ikaw? Nararapat ka nga ba sa pwesto mo ngayon? " I ask him, then I turn to face him.

"Remember the twelve disciples? Pwede silang mapasaakin? Kahit anong oras, lahat sila. Dahil, una palang ako na ang pakay nila." he gasped.

"That twelve legendary disciples will be mine. And you cant do anything about it. So, how was it? " his jaw clenched.

"All of the princes fought for that, then you will claim them all? " may diin ang bawat salitang sinasabi nya.

I chuckled. "What? That was all a lie? Remember? Alam nyo ang kahihinatnan ng lahat bago pa tayu sumang ayon sa misyon? Alam nyong lalapit lang ang mga disipolo kapag nandun ako, so thank me. "

"So wise" he commented

"Yeah, so wise to forget you."
