Mated

  — Chapter 20 —

"Hnn.." I started groaning magmula ng maimulat ko ang mga mata ko. Agad naman akong nakaramdam ng paghagod sa pisngi ko.

Agad na hinanap ng mga mata ko ang nagmamay-ari ng mga kamay na iyon.

"Alaric..." I uttered.

He sighed so deeply as he look at me in the eyes. "How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Okay naman....wala ng masakit—ay. Medyo mahapdi yung mga sugat ko. Yun lang." Tiningnan ko pa ang mga sugat ko saka ako tumingala sa kaniya.

"I don't wanna ask this because you just woke up.....but I just wanna know......what did he tell you?" His lips became shut right after he finished his questions. With his hands holding on the bedsheet.

"He?" Tanong ko.

"Larc Lewis." He answered.

"Ah....w-wala. sinabi nya lang na....pareha raw kami ng mata." His eyebrows moved as if he's getting curious. "He told something about....pain and heartbreak. Fiance nya pala si Gena? For 20 years? Ang galing. Ang habang panahon non...."

Nakatingin lang sya sakin pero tumatagos ito. Para bang may iniisip. "...then he mentioned like...he was heartbroken and we are the same. We have the same sadness in the eyes. Alaric, malungkot ba ang mga mata ko?" Umupo ako as I lean close to him. For him to have a better look at my eyes.

Pero agad rin akong napatingin sa kamay nya na nakakuyom na ngayon at marahang nanginginig.

"Alaric?" Nagtataka kong tanong. He shut his eyes close at saka huminga ng malalim. He then hold my face with both of his hands saka nya idinilat ang mga mata.

"Your eyes are the most beautiful thing that I ever see. They are beautiful than the stars." Aniya. Ramdam kong nag-init ang pisngi ko sa sinasabi nya at napapaiwas na lang ako ng tingin.

"Dear....please do me a favor." Aniya.

"Ano yun?"

"Stay away from Larc Lewis. Don't talk to him please."

"Bakit? Gagawin mo rin ba sa kaniya yung ginawa mo kay kuyang nautal?" I questioned him with fear.

"Yes. I will do that." Umangat ang sulok ng labi ko because of shock. "But not because I am jealous. Yes I am, honestly. But Larc Lewis is dangerous. Off all the vampires in here. Don't trust him. Promise me."

"Pero kambal mo sya."

"We are twins. But we're never the same." He's right, they have a huge differences. "We are twins but I don't trust him. Please don't trust him. Promise me." Nag-aalangan ako tumango.

Bigla nya akong siniil ng halik na ikinagulat ko. Sandali lang naman yon pero parang tinambol yung puso ko bigla.

"That's my girl." He said smiling.

Napa-O ako. Ngumiti sya ulit! Yung ngiti tulad nung binigyan ko sya ng white trumpet flower. Yung ngiti na abot sa mga mata!

"Why?" Nagtataka nyang tanong when I cupped his face at pinisil ang magkabila nyang pisngi.

"Ahhh! Ngumiti ka ulit! Gawin mo ulit yun! Ang gwapo mo ron! Hala! Ang kinis talaga ng kutis mo! Sige na, smile ka na ulit!" Tuwang tuwa talaga ako at halos magtatalon na rito sa kamang kinauupuanan ko.
