Planet Acelatoria

Chaptah Tuwenti-fouh

Bakit may mga hugot 'tong mga 'to? May side effect ba sa kanila ang pagpunta sa ibang planeta kaya nagkaganito silang dalawa?

"Anyway, Clard. I just remembered. Where is your fucking ugly husband with a fucking bad temper, huh? Hindi ko pa siya nakikita simula nang dumating kami dito! I will beat him to death magpakita lang sa'kin 'yung lalaking 'yon!" malakas na sabi ni Zain.

"Oo nga, Clardey. Where is your ugly-faced husband? I would like have a small talk with him." seryoso namang sabi ni Kiefer.

Oh, shoot! Hindi pa ba nila alam ni Xavier 'yon? Hindi man lang ba sinabi ni Lucas o ni Greg na si Xavier ang asawa ko dito?

Dahan-dahan akong napalingon kay Xavier. I'm dead. Really dead.

Nakatingin na rin siya sa'min. I'm sure he understand! Nananadya ata 'to si Zain eh! Hindi naman siya madalas mag-english tapos ngayon... Ugh! Pa'no na?

Xavier gave me a death glare. It sent shivers down my spine. Paulit-ulit akong napalunok habang tinititigan siya.

"Excuse me," tawag niya sa mga kaibigan ko. "Didn't Clardia told you who her ugly and bad-tempered husband is?"

"Yes, Prince." sagot naman ni Kiefer. "We're perhaps wondering if you guys still have another cousin that maybe the husband of our friend. With all due respect to the royal family of Acelatoria, we're just worried about our friend because she once said that her husband is ruthless, despicable, and loathsome. We can't let him hurt Clardia of course!"

What the—gusto ba talaga kong mapahamak ni Kiefer?! Bakit ko pa kasi sinabi lahat 'yon sa kanila?! Well, I never thought that they will be here!

I saw how Xavier twitched his eyes out of so much anger. Parang kulang na lang itaob niya na 'tong mesa.

"Loathsome? Despicable? Ruthless? Ugly? How else you can describe your husband, Clardia?" nanggagalaiting tanong ni Xavier.

"Ha—Ha ha ha! Come on guys! I'm just bluffing that time! Nagpapa-awa lang ako sa inyo kaya sinabi ko 'yon! My husband, he's actually nice, indulgent, and very very handsome!" pambawi ko pero hindi nabago ang nakakakilabot na itsura ni Xavier.

"Mukhang hindi ka naman nagsisinungaling nung sinabi mo 'yon Clard. Pero sino nga ba ung asawa mong pangit dito?" sabi ni Zain. Sige ulit-ulitin niyo lang 'yung pangit nang sabay-sabay na tayong malagot dito.

"Hi, everyone!"

Napalingon kaming lahat sa pinagmulan ng boses and there Nebula entered with a wide smile on his face.

"Oh! Hi Clardia's friends! It's nice to meet you both!" bati niya sa mga kaibigan ko saka naupo sa aking tapat.

Both Kiefer and Zain has this horrified look on their faces. I already expected this dahil ganito rin ang reaksyon ko ng una kong makita at malamang nagsasalita si Nebula.

"C-Clard, nagsasalita 'yung a-aso." nanginginig na sabi ni Zain.

"Am I dreaming?" nakatulala namang sambit ni Kiefer.

"Guys, it's real. Nakakapagsalita talaga si Nebula. Pero huwag kayong matakot. Normal lang 'yan dito." bulong ko sa kanila.
