The Royal Dilemma

TRD XXIV

Gale's POV

"She's awake"

"Call the doctor bro"

"Gale, are you alright now?"

Iminulat ko ang mga mata at agad na nakita sila Stella na may bahid ng pagaalala ang mga mukha

Umayos ako ng pwesto at naka ramdam ng pangangati sa buong katawan ko.

"The doctor said that the antidote would effect after some 2-3 hours and it's been only an hour since he injected the antidote" Jameson said while handing me a cup of water

"Thank you" I thanked my cousin

As if on cue, we all turned at the door when we heard a knock. The door opened and a person entered the clinic.

It was Ron

"How are you feeling?" asked as soon as he sat next to Stella and Ren, Jameson was on the other side of the bed next to me. "Still itchy, but I'm feeling better" I answered

Narinig Kong bumontong hininga si Stella kaya nilingon ko ito. "Okay ka Iang Stella?" tanong ko rito ngunit nagulat nalamang ako nung tumungo ito at nakarinig nalamang kami ng hikbi na namumula rito

"Hey, what's wrong?" alo rito ni Ren. "Eh kasi naman, Di pa nga nag tatagal manlang dito sa school yang si Gale pero ganyan na agad inabot niya! I'm really worried of course huhuhuhu" iyak pa nito

"Hayaan mo nalang Stella, magiingat na ako sa susunod kaya kayo rin" paalala ko sakanila.

Hindi malabong kaaway ang may gawa nito, wala naman akong nakakausap sa mga kaklase ko kaya malabong sila ang may gawa nito.

"Excuse me stella, but... May I talk with my cousins for a moment? Umattend kana muna ng klase at pakisabi nalang sa mga teacher na absent muna kami for the meantime" pakisuyo ko kay Stella. Pumayat naman si Stella kaya noong nakaalis na siya at pinasara ni Ron ang pintuan ng silid dahil may paguusapan daw kami

"Anong paguusapan natin?" umpisa ko

"It wasn't any of our classmates, nor the school staffs" mungkahi ni Ron

I knew it

"I slipped to the security office to check the cctv cameras, good thing that there was one camera that was pointed at our hallway, meaning" pagkukwento ni Ron

"Kita ang may gawa nito" dugtong ni Ren. Nilingon siya ng ka kambal niya to continue what it was saying. "Fortunately, yes. It was someone who was wearing a red coat and a hat. The figure seemed to be a guy and that's all that I found out" Ren said

"Was there anything that can differ him from other people?" I asked. Ron seemed to be remembering the footage of the man he described. "Now that you mentioned it, there was a logo printed on his coat's collar, it wasn't that much visible but I can't describe it that much, it seems like it was a flower..." He trailed off

"Wait-you mean, it resembles a flower? Can you draw it?" I asked Ren which he answered with a nod. He asked for a paper and a pen, luckily, our stuffs are with us. We watched Ren draw what he saw and when he finished it, he showed it to us

"A-Are you s-sure that t-this is the flower that y-you saw?" tanong ko rito at sinagkt niya naman ako ng oo. "Bakit? Alam mo ba ibig sabihin ng bulaklak na yan?" tanong nito pabalik sa akin

Tumango ako rito at nabigkas ko nang hindi ko namamalayan ang pangalan ng bulaklak

"It's an alstroemeria... The flower that only grows in-" naputol ang sasabihin ko nang may biglang pumasok sa kwarto
