"The National Magical Law Enforcement Agency have issued an apology to the two unnamed students of the Emerald School of Magic who, according to our sources, have been involved in the events last night. According also to the report of the NMLEA, Jaeron Equerza, the right hand of Serafina and the current ringleader of the largest villain group in the country, is the one responsible for the events last night. Some eyewitnesses also said that the headmistress of the Emerald School of Magic, Esmerelda Evanesca herself, fought Equerza and some other unidentified villains. Unfortunately, the villains have escaped including Equerza. We have asked for a statement from Evanesca regarding the matter but we have not yet received any response from her. Stay tuned with us for more updates."

Nagkatitigan na lang kami ni RB nung natapos na ang balita. Kani-kanila lang ay nakatanggap kami ng sulat mula sa NMLEA na humihingi sa 'min ng paumanhin dahil sa mga nangyari kagabi.

Hinatid kami ni Professor Romeus sa infirmary matapos magsidatingan ng mga agents at pulis sa pinangyarihan ng labanan. Mula pa kagabi ay wala pa kaming nakakausap o nakikita man lang ni isa sa mga professors namin.

"What a shame. I would really love to see Jaeron personally. I will surely make him-"

"RB," sabi ko naman agad bago ako tumitig sa kanya.

"Oh, sorry," sagot niya. "Are you fine already? 'Yung mga sugat mo?"

"Nurse Juliana healed all my injuries. I'm fine already. Wala na ring kung anong masakit sa katawan ko," sagot ko.

RB suddenly appeared right beside me.

"So... can we have sex already?"

I pushed him out of the bed. "In your dreams..."

"Aw..." RB said as he massaged his butt. "Don't just push me away. I take good care of my butt for Ike and Ike just-"

"Shut up," sabad ko naman. "Take good care of yourself from now on. Malaki ka na. Hindi naman pwede siguro na sa tuwing magkakaproblema ka eh hihingi ka na agad sa 'min ng tulong."

He stood up before sitting on his bed. Maka-ilang beses niya akong tinitigan na tila may sasabihin siya pero hindi niya tinutuloy.

"Wanna say something?" tanong ko.

"Um, about what happened in my house..."

"Forget it," I said firmly. "Alam ko na ang buong sitwasyon mo and I completely understand you. You've been deprived of love and attention ever since your parents died. 'Yun marahil ang naging rason kung bakit naging ganun ka. Wala kang kasalanan, okay? Kasalanan 'to ng mga walang-pusong mga tao na ginamit at inabuso ka. 'Wag kang mag-alala dahil naayos na ni Professor Evanesca ang lahat. Just don't do that again, okay? You made all of us worried."

"I'm sorry for trying to hurt you," he said. "And thanks a lot for staying by my side despite of what happened. I'm really sorry if I haven't been truthful to you about my past. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for all the trouble that I gave you..."

RB wiped his tears as he looked away. Bumangon naman ako mula sa higaan ko bago ako tumabi sa kanya.

"Stop crying, idiot. Everything's going to be fine. Nandito si Professor Evanesca. Nandito sina Alice, Faye, Jack, at buong klase natin. Nandito ako. Parati kaming nasa tabi mo para samahan ka. You we're never alone, RB. And besides, tutulungan ka naman ni Professor Ferrea. We're here to help and support you. So please stop being a crybaby right now," sabi ko sabay pisil at yugyog sa magkabilaang pisngi niya.

Napatitig na lang din ako sa kawalan habang nakasandal si RB sa balikat ko.

"You remind a lot of Aria, did you know that?" I said wistfully.
