KNIGHTS I-2: Demon's Destruction (Froze Knights)

Chapter 55

Arrow

"K-Kids? Lolo, anong ibig sabihin no'n?" naguguluhang tanong ko.

He smiled at me before answering. "You lost your memories after the incident, when your twin died, so you'll never remember him."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil sa sinabi niya.

I know, I know that I lost my memories when I was a kid. Pero nakakagulat malaman na magkakilala na pala kami ni Froze simula noong una pa lang.

"Since we're still kids? H-How did it happened?" tanong ko.

"He's there, when you and your twin was kidnapped. He was there." Iyon ang mga salitang labis na nagpabigla sa akin.

Froze was there? Is he one of the victims?

"He was kidnapped also?"

He shook his head and grin at me. "Why don't you ask him personally, Arrow? Deal with each other."

Hindi na ako sumagot pa sa sinabi niya, mabilis ko nang tinakbo ang daan papalabas para hanapin si Froze.

I looked around the whole palace to find him, pero hindi ko pa rin nakikita ang pigura niya.

Sinubukan kong silipin ang training room pero wala rin siya sa loob no'n.

Napatigil ako saglit nang maisip ang kwarto ko. He might be there, right. I know he's always inside my room to guard me.

Nakahinga ako nang maluwag nang makita siya sa loob ng kwarto ko. He immediately turned his gaze at me before smirking.

"You're not shouting at me right now, that's strange--Fuck!" mura niya nang batuhin ko siya ng heels ko.

Magkabilaan ko siyang binato dahilan para kumunot ang noo niya at nagtatakang lumingon sa akin.

"What the hell, baby? What are you--"

Naputol ang pagsasalita niya nang sunod-sunod na magsituluan ang mga luha ko.

"Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin, Froze?" umiiyak na tanong ko.

Binalewala niya ang namumulang pisngi, mabilis siyang lumapit sa akin para sapuin ang magkabilang pisngi ko.

"Hey, beautiful, why are you crying? Tell me," natatarantang turan niya.

Inis na pinalo ko siya sa dibdib bago humagulhol sa bisig niya. "I hate you so much, Froze. Why didn't you tell me that it was all of my grandfather's plan all this time?"

Marahan niya akong inilayo sa kaniya para punasan ang mga luha sa pisngi ko. "He told you about that?"

Nakangusong tumango ako.

Nakita ko kung paano magtubig ang mga mata niya, he kissed my lips in a gentle way before kissing my forehead.

"I'm glad. I'm so fucking glad that you found out about it already, I can no longer bear those days that you always wanted to kick me out," he said in relief.

Ngumiti ako nang mapait. "I'm s-sorry, nasaktan lang talaga ako."

"I know, baby, I know. It's okay, and I'm sorry for hurting you."

"Pero Froze, i-ipaliwanag mo naman sa akin. Paanong magkakilala na pala tayo simula noong una pa lang?" litong-litong tanong ko.

Inalalayan niya akong maupo sa kama bago sumagot.

"I was there when those ass holes kidnapped you and your twin. They took my brother, Sebastian, also. Pero nasundan ko ang sinasakyan ninyong van kasama ni Primo. We were just a kid but we knew that there's something wrong so I decided to enter that basement, but I told my youngest brother to leave and tell kuya Avenight what happened. Ako lang ang mag-isang nagtiyaga na hanapin kung saan nila tinago ang kuya ko, I know he's capable of fighting alone, but these guys who took you are much stronger because they are a clan. And hell, kuya Sebastian was so young back then." Tango lang ako nang tango habang maiiging nakikinig sa kuwento niya.

"I saw you and your twin, but you're inside the other room where kuya Sebastian was being held. Akala ko hindi kayo kasama sa mga batang nakuha nila dahil hindi kayo nakatali ng kakambal mo, especially you, I saw you talking to that armed guy so I thought you're his child. Kuya Avenight and the other Elityians came, nagkagulo ang lahat pero hindi ko na kayo nakitang dalawa ng kakambal mo. Maraming namatay sa grupo nila, but I just found out that you guys are being held also when I saw how afraid you are. Kaya kahit nagkakagulo pa sa loob ay pinili kong sundan ang pinagdalhan sa inyo ng mga nakatakas na gagong 'yon. They caught me, and they tied me inside the exact room with the two of you. I saw how hopeless you are, seeing your twin sister suffering. I tried to talk to you, and we came up with an idea, we tried escaping with your twin. We almost did it, baby. Pero nakuha nila ang kambal mo, and you love her so much so you decided to come with her. Hindi ko na alam kung nasaan kayo, kapag bumalik ako, hindi na ako makakahingi ng tulong. I accidentally saw a cellphone on the table and tried to call my brother. Dumating sila, baby, they came but it's too late, your twin was dead and I never had the chance to see you again." Pinunasan ko ang mga luhang pumatak mula sa mga mata niya.

He suffered also back then.

"I just found out that you're the princess of Korea, so I talked to your grandfather, Gunner. I told him not to let any guy around you, dahil ako lang ang puwede mong pakasalan sa huli. Ako lang ang lalaki sa buhay mo hanggang huli. I even need to use my surname for that, and Gunner promised me that thing since I saved you." May humaplos sa puso ko matapos niyang ikuwento ang lahat.

Nahirapan din pala siya noon, kasama ko at ng kakambal ko.

Kung alam ko lang, I wouldn't treat him like what I did for the past few days.

"I'm sorry, Froze," naiiyak na saad ko.

Humilig ako sa dibdib niya na agad niyang sinuklian ng halik sa noo.

He combed my hair using his fingers na nakapagpakalma sa akin.

"It's okay, baby, it's my fault also. Stop saying sorry, okay? I love you so much." Marahan niyang dinampian ng halik ang labi ko na sinuklian ko naman.

"I love you too," bulong ko.

Humiwalay siya sa akin para punasan ang mga luha ko. "I'm so glad that I can finally see your smiles, baby. Alam mo ba kung gaano ako nag-alala nang makita kitang duguan noon?"

"W-What?" nagtatakang tanong ko.

Tumingin siya sa akin gamit ang nag-uulap niyang mga mata. "Yes, baby. I found your body first before I gave you to Victoria and Henry."
