Lords Series #2: Deceitful Warm (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 22

"I really love you, Nic! Please, please choose me." Narxixius begged once again. He sounds drank and that made me worried.

"Narxi? Uwi kana. Baka mapano ka kung patuloy kang mag-iinom. Teka tatawagan ko si Meghan para sunduin ka ha?" ibaba ko na sana ang tawag nang bigla s'yang magsalita.

"Gusto mo na ba s'ya?" Mahinahong tanong ni Narxi, "Gusto mo ba sya? Mahal mo na ba si Dolion? Kaya ba, kaya ayaw mo sa'kin kasi s'ya...?"

I was left dumbfounded by his question. Do I like him? Do I love Dolion? Is that the reason why I stopped liking Narxi? I still don't know. I still don't know what I feel for Dolion. I still don't know what's going on between us...

"Narxi... I love you!" I sighed and stayed silent for a while, "I love you as my big brother. My first family. My best friend. At labas na si Dolion doon."

"Labas si Dolion doon. Yes, at first, I thought I liked you romantically but suddenly I... I realized that it's a love for someone whose like a brother to me. I'm sorry, Narxixius."

PAULIT-ULIT NA pumapasok sa isip ni Anica ang napag-usapan ni Narxixius kanina nang tumawag itong lasing. Mga alas syete na at pauwi na sya at may dalang mga souvenir sa gala nila kanina. Nang makauwi na ay agad n'yang tinungo ang kusina para kainin ang nabili nyang spanish pizza.

"Ahh, yumm!" she hissed when she opened the box of coca de trampo she bought before going home.

She ate what she bought and enjoyed it.

"Magtatabi ako para kay Dolion." masaya nyang tugon sa sarili at kumuha ng platong lalagyan nya para sa itatabi nya para kay Dolion. She was enjoying her food but she wants something that will complete her meal - an accompany.

"Food is better with other people." nagbuntong hininga sya at tinangkang iligpit ang kinainan nya.

Napatigil s'ya nang biglang may pumasok sa bahay.

"Dolion-"

Bago pa man nya mabati ito ay napatigil sya nang makita ang nakasimangot na mukha nito. Dolion straightened upstairs without even taking a glimpse of her. Anica was dumbfounded with the coldness he gave.

"May problema na naman ba 'yun?" tanong nya sa sarili at humugot ng malalim na hininga. Niligpit nalang nya ang kanyang kinainan at nilinis ang lugar. Pagkatapos magligpit ay agad s'yang pumunta sa itaas.

She knocked on his door multiple times yet he has no response. She knocked again, more frustrated.

"Dolion?" she called and knocked on the door again. "Dolion, ayos ka lang ba?"

"Dolion!" She tried to be calm. She sighed again to make herself calm down. Nagsawa na s'ya sa pagkatok at hindi man lang ito sumasagot kaya napag-isipan n'ya nalang tumigil.

"I bought a Spanish pizza and saved some for you. Nasa fridge lang ah? Magpapahinga na ako."

Sumuko na s'ya at pumasok nalang sa kanyang kwarto. Napabuntong hininga na naman sya at dismayang napaupo nalang. Napaisip s'ya kung bakit ganoon nalang ka badtrip si Dolion pero wala syang mawaring dahilan.

SHE WENT TO THE BATHROOM as soon as she wake up. She took a bath and went downstairs after she finished her morning routine. Deretso s'ya sa kusina at tiningnan ang fridge. Dismayang-dismaya s'ya nang makitang hindi kumain si Dolion sa tinira n'yang pagkain, kahit maliit lang.
