EIGHTWOON KINGDOM

Chapter 10

Anger

FRECILITY

Nagising ako ng maaga dahil magpapractice kami ni Micaherra sa fencing ngayon kaya uunahan ko na sana sila kumain peor nung nakarating ako sa sala, one paper caught my eye.

What is this?

To the Queen and my friends,
I left.

The who is this? Hala, "Bernadette! Brillianna! Please call them all!" sinigaw ko at nagka-meeting sa may sala. 

"Who is not here yet?" nagtanong ang Reyna nang makita ang papel, jusko, may naglayas? 

"Genevieve" sagot niya at lahat naman ay napatingin kay Gavrielous, "What? Why me?" he asked, siya lang ang nanakit kay Genevieve. Wala nang iba, di maglalayas si Genevieve kung di siya nasaktan.

"That's why she was trying to leave last week" nasabi ni Marionette, "Actually, she tried two times now she succeeded today" Polaighne added. Nako, lagot siya sa Reyna.

"Gavrielous" tawag ng Reyna, "Why did she leave?" tanong ng Reyna at hinintay namin sagot niya. Napalunok siya at huminga ng malalim.

"She left because she wanted and adventure and..."

"And?" tanong naming lahat,

"Because of me" sagot niya, ooh. Nasaktan nga si Genevieve. Naalala ko din dati, noong may gusto siya kay Genevoughn noon tapos hindi siya pinansin? Nako, ang hirap kausapin ni Genevieve nun, lahat sa mundo kinagagalitan niya. Buti nga nakamove on.

But today, kay Gavrielous naman. Sawi talaga itong babaeng ito sa pag-ibig noh? Staying strong naman sila Jouffines at Clariode.

"Narcissus, please look out for her" sagot nung Queen at nagwalk out. "I'll be back" sagot ni Narcissus at umalis na. "Let's eat?" I awkwardly asked, nagsialisan naman yung iba. Hay nako.

Why did she have to leave?

NARCISSUS

As the Queen told me, I went and looked for her.

Ano ba kasing ginawa ni Gavrielous na magawa umalis si Genevieve ng ganun? Buhay pag-ibig, nako.

As I ride on my horse, nagobserve ako sa paligid. Ayaw niya ng places na sobrang init so hindi siya pupunta sa West side, ayaw niya rin naman sa sobrang lamig, so she won't go to the East side.

One answer left, she might have gone to the North side.

I went on my way and ask some villagers if they ever see Genevieve. Oh yeah, she didn't bring her horse. And if she's supposed to leave, she would really leave and what I mean by leave is...

Ibang kingdom or country ang pupuntahan niya. Well, I must track her down. Hindi kumpleto ang Eightwoon nang wala siya.

Bigla ko namang naalala yung pamilya ni Genevieve, saan ba uli yun? Sa North Eightwoon siya nakatira eh. Mahanap nga.

"Narcissus?" napalingon ako at nakita ko ang kanyang Tatay. "Sir" sabi ko sabay bumaba sa kabayo ko, "Is my daughter in danger?" tanong niya, "No Sir but she left" sagot ko naman, "Take this advice from me, young lad, Genevieve will do anything to forget Gavrielous" sagot niyang seryoso, oh, so may alam din siya sa love life ni Genevieve?

"Perhaps, do you know where she went?" I asked, "Probably out of this country, that's for sure" sagot niya, "Thank you very much, I'll be on my way" sagot ko at naglakbay na. Where had she gone? 

KAMVRIELLE

Oh my gosh as in oh my gosh. Oh yea, the term "oh my gosh" was invented by me. It's for socialites like me. You can say that term when you're afraid and don't know what to do. It can be a reaction also. 

But that doesn't matter because, oh my gosh. Genevieve really left! I cannot. The palace is still not at peace. Nagkakagulo pa rin kami like oh my gosh, what are we supposed to do? Hindi pupwedeng mawala si Genevieve! Happiness namin siya, inspirasyon namin siya. 

Nako, Gavrielous kasi eh! Kung di mo lang siya sinaktan di siya mapapa-oh my gosh at iiwan ang bansa natin! Nako.

So like oh my gosh, di na rin yata babalik si Narcissus kais it's been 2 months like oh my gosh! Ano na nangyari? Ipapadala din sana ng Reyna sila Zederaughn at Jezelsone but of course, she changed her mind. Like oh my gosh, dalawa na ang nawawala! What had happened? Oh my gosh.

Nagikot naman ako sa palasyo upang huminga ng malalim, dami na naming iniisip. Kailan ba sasaya ang aming lugar? 

Bigla ko namang nakita si Gavrielous kinakausap si Harlionne.

Ooh, makarinig ngaaaa.

"Gav, paano na sila Genev?" tanong ni Harli, "Kasalanan ko ito eh" rinig ko naman ang pagdadabog ni Gavrielous, "No, don't blame yourself, lahat naman tayo nagkakamali" sagot ni Harli, buti pa talaga ang mga babae, umiintindi, like oh my gosh.

"Papaano pala si Genevieve? Paano kung di siya bumalik?" tanong ni Gavrielous, "She will come back, ano ka ba Gav, look at things at a positive way, dito pinanganak si Genevieve at dito rin siya babalik" sagot ni Harlionne, well said dear.

"You think so?" tanong ni Gav at tumango si Harlionne.

At nagyakapan ang lovers, eew. Oh my gosh.

Dumaan ang ilang buwan, di pa rin bumabalik yung dalawa. Ano na nangyariii? Oh my gosh, kinakabahan akooooo.

NARCISSUS

It's been a year since hinahanap ko si Genevieve. 

I must find her.

Naghanap-hanap ako nang bigla ako na-welcome ng mga bulaklak. Nagulat naman ako s amga sumasayaw. Hala, ano ito?

"It's Mathematics Day!" cheer nila, what in the world is a Mathematics?!

Ano yun? Nakaladlad ako pati yung kabayo ko hanggang nabasa ko yung sign,

EIGHTWAN KINGDOM

What? Sounds like Eightwoon pero hay, nevermind. Teka lang, ibang kingdom na ito! baka nandito na si Genevieve?

"Excuse me Sir? May I help you?" may nagpakitang babae na puro bulaklak ang nasa ulo't katawan niya.

"Uhm, well, is there a lady here that somehow trespassed?" tanong ko, "Oh, is that name a Genevieve, sir?" tanong niya at naliwanagan naman ako. Kahit hindi lang siya ang Genevieve sa mundo, umaasa akong siya yung nagtrespass dito.

"Yes! Yes, that one!" sagot ko, "Come with me Sir" sagot niya at pumasok kami sa loob ng palace at yung kabayo ko linagay nila sa stables.

"WELCOME!" biglang sulpot nung isang lalaki sa akin, who the heck?

"I am Andreuw" ngiti niya, uhm, "Narcissus" sagot ko naman na medyo awkward. Hindi ako sanay.

"Oh wait here Sir and let Andreuw accompany you, my name's Joshaline by the way" sabi nung babaeng bumati sa akin kanina, uhm, okay ulit. 

"So, I'm a knight from this kingdom, from where do you belong?" tanong niya, "Uhm, a knight also from Eightwoon" I answered, "Eightwoon? Oh, just like a girl who trespassed here a year ago, she's also a knight" sagot niya. 

Purihin ang Diyos! Hallelujah! Nahanap ko na siya, sa wakas! After isang taong paghihirap! Salamat!

"Narcissus?" nagpakita si Genevieve na may suot na bulaklak din, ano ba yung Mathematics?!

"Genevieve..." sagot ko, she needs some explanation.

A lot of explanation.
