BLACK LOTUS

33: JEALOUS?

~EDWARD~

"Khira! darling...." I heard Hitomi's voice kaya pinahinto kami ni Az..

"Breakfast is ready"lumapit si Hitomi kay Azkhira nang may ngiti sa labi at hinalikan ito sa noo.

Why do he always does that to Azkhira everytime they meet, are they on a relationship? Darling? Does that mean that they're married? Or it's just their call names?

Ugh.. Why do I even care! Tsk..

But sometimes I can't help but to stare both of them..

"Hoy!" Paul snap me out, which made me flinch kaya naman sinamaan ko ito ng tingin...

"What?!" I said irritately, pero tumawa lang ito. What's funny??!!!.... I'm not even a clown to be laughed at tsk...

"Ang sabi ni master Azkhira pahinga daw muna ng 5 minutes before having breakfast" nagkangising sabi ni Paul at lumapit ito sa akin..

"Kanina ka pa nakatitig sa kanila... Jealous?" Bulong neto kaya agad ko itong tinulak ngunit mahina lang...

"What the f*ck are you talking about?!" I was pissed off... Jealous? Is he joking?

Rinig ko ang paghagalpak ng tawa neto kaya lalo akong nainis..

"Come on bro we're bestfriends no slash that... I mean we're brothers since elementary kilala na natin ang amoy ng isa't isa kaya wag mo nang itago, I know you have likes for master Azkhira" lintaya neto ngunit mahina lamang ang pagkakabigkas niya..

"Stop it Paul kung ayaw mong masapak"banta ko... Umatras pa ito habang nakataas ang dalawang kamay na parang sumusuko na...

"Woah chillax bro I'm just sayin'... Ba't parang apektado ka ata?"  nakangising saad ni Paul

"I'm not and you're stating an inaccurate question" I uttered

"Guys you need to drink these!" Saad ni Shiro at binato sa amin ang nakabottled water, buti nalang at agad naming nasalo ni Paul. I saw him suddenly opened the bottle and drink it, wala pang isang segundo ay agad niya itong naibuga..

"What the hell?! Bakit ang pait!" Reklamo niya...

"That's a herbal tea, it helps our body energized and boost mamaya sa training kaya wag ka nang umangal pa at ubusin mo yan lahat" seryosong saad neto habang nakatingin kay Paul. Mukhang napikon yata ito dahil sa sinabi ni Paul halata kasi sa hitsura neto, and I think he's the one who made it, mahilig kasi siya sa mga herbal medicines. Last night he gave us a herbal medicine para daw mapadali ang paghilom ng sugat namin and I'm thankful for that because he's always caring kahit na minsan ay tinotopak ito at parating seryoso.

"Dam* my body hurts like hell" reklamo naman ni Christof at parang batang sumalampak sa sahig..

"Tama na ang drama, halina na kayo at sabay sabay na tayong kumain, mukhang gutom na rin kayo" inilabas naman ni Hitomi ang mga bento box na naklagay sa isang malaking bag..

"Buti pa si Master Hitomi ang bait bait niya.. hindi tulad nila kuya Milluki na pinapakain lang tayo ng dalawang saging kapag umaga" bulong ni Paul, kaya siniko ko ito sa tagiliran, napakadaldal talaga ng isang ito...

Lumapit na kami sa isang malaking puno kung saan nasisilungan kami.. iniabot naman sa amin ni Hitomi ang tig isang bento box... I never tried this one before but I saw these in some of the animes I've watched. So probably it must be delicious.

"This is so good!" Paul blurted out, his eyes were twinkling with the delicious meal that Hitomi gave us. And because I was curious I tasted it.... He was right it's so delicious I don't know what's the name of the viand but it so savory because of the sauce mix in it, the others were chicken teriyaki, sushi and shrimp tempura with rice. They also have veggies which is I don't know the name of the dish, basta masarap siya.

Ang linis ng pagkakagawa at sobrang malinamnam. I've never tasted like this before in my entire life na home made dishes... Eh panu ba naman kasi  nabuhay ako sa mga processed foods kung hindi ay sa restaurant kakain, it's really unhealthy at all.

"You should dip it with the sauce" saad naman ni Shiro, kita kung isinawsaw naman ni Christof sa sauce. Wala pang isang segundo ay ibinuga niya ito.

"Sh*t ang anghang! Hindi niyo manlang sinabing may sili ang sauce na yan" reklamo niya at parang naluluha na..

"Sorry I must've put too much wasabi and chillies" paumanhin ni Hitomi. Inabot naman niya kay Christof ang isang bottled milk kaya agad niyang nilagok ito. Is this why she was inloved with him because he's humble, caring and hospitable?  Argh... Stop it Ed you're asking a lot of questions about their relationship.

After the breakfast we rested for 15 mintues and started the training again this time she's with Hitomi, he also teaches us additonal sword techniques until the limitation of training times out.

*****

"You're all going to the next level of training so take a rest and save up your energy because tomorrow will not be easy as you think" paliwanang ni Milluki after naming kumain ng dinner sa hall.

It's almost 12 when the meeting ended kaya naman hindi na ako makakatulog neto, gusto ko munang magpahangin sa may balcony when I saw Azkhira standing there alone so I went close to her

"It's already late you should sleep now" sabi ko pero parang wala itong narinig at deretso lang ang tingun niya sa gubat.

"H-hey! Where the hell are you going?!" I shouted when she jump and landed on one of the thick branches of a tree kaya sinundan ko ito. She then jump again in another branches and I just kept on following her.

"Stop following m-"

"Ouch!" Badtrip.....dahil biglang naputol ang sangang tinapakan ko. Magsasalita pa sana ako nang makita ko ang paligid.... Di ko alam kung patay na ba ako dahil sa nakikita ko ngayon, I never seen like this place before, it's a paradise. Ang ganda at may mga alitaptap pa na nakakadagdag sa ganda ng lugar na ito...

"Earth to Max" she snap me out kaya naman agad akong tumayo because my position is so awkward. I was kneeling while my hands are on the smooth grass- parang aso ang itsura ko.. tapos siya pa nakakita. And of course hindi pa pala ako patay..
