(Heaven)

Ama: "Babalik ako para kausapin at sunduin si General Lance. Ngayong gabi matatanggal siya bilang General mo, ng hukbong sandatahan ng kaharian at nilang Kapitana ng Myth. Maiwan ka rito upang magpahinga. Bagkos sinuway mo ang batas hindi ka maaalis sa trono. Kapag nangyare pa ito ulit saka ka lang matatanggal sa trono."

Mahinahon na sabi ni ama. Pero ramdam ko yung galit at dismaya niya sa akin.

"Ama, may pwede bang gawin si General para di siya matanggal sa trabaho?"

Kumunit ang noo ng aking ama at tinignan ako ng seryoso.

Ama: "Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, may nataramdaman ka para kay General Lance?"

Hindi ko siya sinagot saka tumingala sa kalangitan. Nanatili akong tahimik at pinakiramdaman ang paligid.

Ama: "Tama pala ang aking hinala. Hindi ko to ginagawa bilang isang hari anak. Kasi kung oo matagal ko na siyang inalis sa serbisyo. Gusto ko lang na manatili kayong alerto."

"Anong ibig mong sabihin ama?"

Ama: "Nagiging padalodalos na ang iyong mga disisyon dahil sa kaniya. Sumasabak ka sa mga misyong hindi naman sayo ibinigay na maaaring ikapahamak mo. Makinig ka sakin anak. Pakiusap wag kang magpadala sa iyong emosyon. Kapag pribado doon lang sana kayo maging totoo sainyong mga sarili. Mas magandang gawing pribado ang inyong pagmamabutihan para na rin sa kaligtasan mo."

"Masusunod ama."

Ama: "Ngayon sunduin mo na ang iyong General at dalhin dito sa palasyo. Kailangan niyang pa rin mamalagi sa kulungan ng tatlong araw dahil sa ginawa niyong kasalanan."

Ngumiti ako ng palihim dahil sa narinig ko. All these time ang obvious namin ni Dana?

Tumayo na ako at niyakap si ama. Pinindot ko ang singsing ko para  ibalik ako sa battlecraft, kung nasaan si Dana.

Pagdating ko roon ay mukhang inaasahan na ni Dana ang pagdating ko. Lahat ng gamit naka gilid at nagaantay siya sa isang dulo at seryoso ang mukha.

Dana: "Took you so long to come back. I've been waiting for you for hours."

"Come quietly and I'll give your job back."

Dana: "When did the General come quietly?"

With that she revealed her two pieaces octagon sai. So it was my cue to let out my sword.

I run towards her and dodge at her heart but she was fast enough to avoid my attacke and grabbed my neck and pushed her knee towards my stomach. I was down for a minute and aimed for her right foot and dragged her 2 meters from her original distance and flipped fer to the opposite direction and threw her to the near wall. She dropped her weapons and i dropped my and wrapped my hand on her neck.

Dana: "Impressive."

She used both of her hands to grab my neck and locked ot with pressure. Unfortunately I released her neck so she went to aim my thigh using a dagger hidden in her leg.

"Fuck!"

Twisted my body so I could avoid another and kicked her at her thigh and we were both released from each other.

We run back to attack by positioning our right arm 90° degree from our shoulder for a punch. It was powerful enough to knocked down both of us.

I looked at her while she massage her nose bridge while I cupped my cheek. Masakit!

I stood up and smiled at her while offering my hand.

Dana: "Not bad for a princess."

"Can you go with me now? Please? Nagkakasukatan pa tayo ng lakas."

Dana: "I can't go yet. Kailangan pa ako ng grupo ko. Marami pa  kaming pagsasamahan. Poprotektahan pa kita."

I laugh at her serious concerns. How innocent.

"Trust me on this ok? You just have to be away for three days."

I went closer to her and pulled her closer to me. I took that opportunity to kiss her on her forehead to make sure I am telling her the truth.

Dana: "Hays why do you do this to me?"

She fitted her hand to mine and intertwined out fingers to one another. Mabilis kong tinggal yun baka kaso may makakita samin. Who knows kung sino magtatraydor samin dito.

Dana: "Safe tayo rito. Don't worry. Tsaka magpapaalam lang ako sa Myths."

"You know me too well."

Ako na mismo ang kumuha ng kamay niya. Sabay kaming pumasok sa battleship saka tinawag ang Myth.

"Dahil sa ginawa natin kanina pwede tayong maalis lahat sa pwesto. Pero sa di malamang dahilan mababaw lang na kaparusahan ang binigay. Suspendido muna ako ng 3 araw at ganoon rin ang General. Kailangang manatili ni General sa palasyo upang ikulong."

Ava: "Bakit kayo lang ang may parusa? Sama-sama tayong pumunta di ba?"

John: "Minsan talaga coco ka rin ih. Malamang kasi sila nagplano nito. Sla rin ang head ng both teams na sumali sa operashon. Buti na lang princess tong  nililigawan ni General."

Dana: "Wag na kayo mag away. And please, wag niyo na kaming inaasar. Di ko siya nililigawan. I am leaving the ship with Ava's management kaya behave people."

Tumango naman ang kasamahan niya   at nanahimik. Binitawan ko na ang kamay niya saka binuksan ang portal papunta sa kaharian.

"General, sumama ka sa silid ko para magpalit ng damit."

Hindi ko alam kung bakit yun ang sinabi ko. Ang dapat kung gawin ngayon ay iwanan siya kay Gary para dalhin sa sanction room pero here I am letting her inside my room.

Dana: "Princess an-"

I did not let her finish. I removed the gap between up and claimed her soft lips. I slowly moved my lips to savor her softness and all I can taste is orange. My heart is beating so fast right now and it feels like oxygen is running out in my body.

She gently placed her right hand on my right ear and her left on my waist. I  fixed my left hand on her chest and my right hand against the wall to support our body. I felt my body being pulled closer to hers and the kiss deepened. I am slowly getting lost with the tension between us when I hear Gary whisper through my intercom.

Gary: "Princess I can hear your kissing sounds. You need to turn over Miss Lance to me before you guys could get a more serious trouble."

I slowly withdraw my body from hers and a smirk forming into my lips. And I can see her smiling while looking at me. She heard what Gary said and alam namin pareho na pulang ula na ngayon si Gary.

"I'll bring her there Captain just one last. Kiss."

I heard Gary sighed and I looked at Dana again, this time directly into her eyes. I can see happiness in there. This time she made the fiest move to kiss me. Tho it was just a short kiss, but I felt her joy.

She pulled me closer and felt her warm breath on my neck. She spoke lowly to my ears and said

Dana: "I like you a lot, bb."
