Her Eternity

[Chapter 32: Different to Forget]

*Rage's Point of View

"There he is!"

Agad naman akong napangisi nang sabay-sabay naming nakita si Zackyro na lumabas ng manor kasama si Lee na suot-suot na yung shades niya.

The butlers immediately bow down as they saw them both coming.

"Akalain mong lumabas siya sa lungga niya."Roge suddenly approached me and put his arm above my shoulder. Napailing naman ako dahil sa sinabi niya at saka pinanuod kung paano maglakad yung dalawa papunta dito.

Ever since Zackyro confirmed and knew everything that he wants to know regarding to what he has been up to, he eventually couldn't leave his room without the folders on his hand. Halos pati kaninang pagpasok niya sa dining hall, huli na naming napansin na dala-dala niya rin yung mga folders.

But right now, I don't know what magic words did Lee said to him that made him really to come out with a smirk plastered on his face.

Lahat kasi ay halos inaya siyang lumabas dito para mag-swimming. Violet even tried to pull him out, but the latter insisted to stay inside while his attention are going through the folders and back to his phone.

Oh well.

Umahon naman ako mula sa pool at saka umakyat ng hagdanan para pumunta sa may veranda kung saan nakatamabay sila Crimson.

"Impressive, Lee."He immediately did a fist bump with Lee as the latter already saw them coming towards us.

"Well, you know me. Magic words are my thing."Lee jokingly shrugged that made me mentally rolled my eyes. Oh brother.

Zackyro on the other hand just gave us a grin under beneath his breath the moment he saw our reaction of him coming out from the manor.

"The others are in the pool."

When I seem to noticed that he's roaming his eyes around, I immediately tapped his shoulder and gradually pointed out the others who are currently waving at him as they saw Zackyro up from where we are.

"KUYA!!"

"HEY! ZACE!"

Tumango naman agad sa akin si Zackyro bago maglakad kasama si Roge patungo kung nasaan sila at iwan na kami dito.

"He sure is somehow risking."

Triton who just suddenly butted into the conversation said that, as he casually pulled out beside him the box of ferrero he's been seriously pigging out. Nagkatinginan naman agad kaming tatlo nina Crimson at Lee, kasabay nang pagkibit-balikat namin pagkatapos marinig ang sinabi niya.

"He's really unpredictable."Dagdag niya pa bago isubo yung ferrero sa bibig niya at tumingin ulit doon sa pool kung nasaan yung iba.

"Oh well, Eve sure knows him pretty well."I just scoffed as we all together continue to watch Zackyro join the others.

From that moment, we saw the unexpected smile and the joy shimmered within his eyes as he found himself enjoying while they're in the pool. Sa mukha niyang 'yan, halos hindi ko mapigilan na patagong napailing dahil parang ibang tao ang nakikita namin ngayon.

He's far more different than the Zackyro Caldwell we always encountered.

"Well, look who's enjoying now."Crimson jokingly said as he unconsciously fixed his specs.

Dahil sa sinabi niya ay halos magkatinginan ulit kaming lahat at binalik ang atensyon sa may pool. There we noticed Zackyro looking at us with his cold eyes while already dripping wet.

I casually salute to him the moment our eyes met. Napailing naman siya at sabay na napalihis ang atensyon pabalik sa harap nang tamaan siya ni Axellous ng water gun.

"They sure are having an escapade."Lee suddenly blurted out as he ready himself for a sunbath.

Inayos naman niya yung pagkakasuot ng shades niya at wala sa oras na ngumiti.

I can't help but to unconsciously nod. It was also the last thing that I heard before going back to the pool.

*Roge's Point of View

I gradually close my eyes as I felt the wind rushed through my skin. Muli naman ulit akong napamulat nang maramdaman kong may umakbay sa akin, at doon ko nakita sina Azure at Brick na nakangiti sa akin pareho.

I mentally raised my eyebrow as they both chuckled at the same time. Twins.

"So, they're now at the greenhouse?"They both curiously asked at the same time, again.

Inalis ko muna yung pagkakaakbay nilang dalawa sa akin at sabay tumango bilang sagot sa tanong na narinig ko.

Right after we spent some time back at the pool and also deciding about what to do next, Lee eventually suggested to have a nice relaxing tea at the greenhouse of this manor which is one of the center back here in the field.

It's actually quite a long walk going there. I just unconsciously shrugged as we altogether continue our pace towards the greenhouse.

"I heard he's enjoying."Azu suddenly mentioned something about him.

Bri on the other hand just snapped his finger out of nowhere, as if he remembered something the moment we heard that.

"Don't you think he knows?"He eventually asked that.

It's also the exact moment that we finally found ourselves in front of the greenhouse mansion of this manor. Nagkatinginan naman kaming tatlo nang mapagtantuan namin ang gustong ipahiwatig sa amin ni Bri.

"Unfortunately, no."I bluntly said.

"Let him forget for a while that she left him. He was already been through a lot."Dagdag ko pa bago tuluyang pumasok sa loob.

Both Azu and Bri shrugged their shoulders as they eventually followed me.

Lahat naman ay agad na nagtinginan sa amin nang mapansin nila kami, maliban nalang kay Zackyro na pinagmamasdan yung buong greenhouse na halos punong-puno ng iba't ibang kulay ng mga rosas.

"Well, I hope he will."Azu tapped me on the shoulders as we saw Zackyro. He gradually stopped, afterwards the moment he saw me.

He unconsciously nod, which made me to nod at him back.

Hindi ko naman napigilan na mapailing nang mapansin kong binalik ni Zackyro ang pagtitig niya sa mga rosas pagkatapos niya akong makita. My, my.

"Tea's ready!"

Our attentions immediately diverted to where the center of the greenhouse-a gazebo with climbing rose vines where we about to go and have some tea just like what Lee suggested.
