Midnight Angels: The War

Chapter 39

"Ayoko nang mangyari ulit ito." Ma-awtoridad na sabi ni Xy sa dalawa na basang-basa na ang mga uniform. Blu glared at him.

"Why the hell should I obey you—" Hindi na natapos ni Blu ang sasabihin niya dahil itinaas lang ni Xy ang kamay at dahan-dahan nang pumalibot sa katawan ni Blu ang pulang kuryenta na dahan-dahan na siyang sinasaktan.

Xy looked at him.

"Don't make me break your bones again, Van Saint." Pagbabanta niya at binitawan na si Blu. Agad na dumating si Kharis sa fountain at tiningnan si Blu na basang-basa na. The team looked at her, specifically to the ring on her finger.

Hinablot rin ni Archer ang kamay ni Blu at nakitang may singsing narin itong suot.

"What the fuck, Blu?!" Gulat na tanong ni Wilder at tiningnan ang dalawa.

Yumuko si Kharis at kinagat ang ibabang labi niya at tsaka pinaglaruan ang daliri. Agad na kinuwelyuhan ni Ash si Blu at pasimple itong hinila palabas ng fountain. The students started to gossips again kahit na pinapabalik na sila sa mga classroom nila.

Tiningnan ni Xy si Blu, isang malalim na tingin.

"Y-You.. you got engaged?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Shinshi at nagpabalik-balik ang tingin niya kina Blu at Kharis. Blu huffed.

"Obviously." Iritado nitong sagot at umirap pa.

"Sa loob ng isang linggong nawala ka, sa loob ng isang buwan na wala si Zia, 'yan ba ang ginawa mo?" Tanong ni Lucas habang nakayuko lang at dahan-dahang lumalabas sa fountain. Hindi sumagot si Blu at marahas na tinanggal ang pagkakahawak ni Ash sa kanya.

"What? I'm not the only one who got engaged, right?" Tanong ni Blu at tiningnan ang singsing sa daliri ni Ash.

"This is different, you asshole! I gave up Zee to you! I faced my responsibility so that this war would end at makakapagpahinga na si Zia. Everything I did, I did while thinking of what's good for her." Tinulak na ni Ash si Blu. Audin's brows met because as of the moment, he couldn't read Blu's mind.

Tumingin narin siya kay Kharis pero wala rin siyang nababasa sa isip nito. He wanted to say something pero tumahimik nalang siya at tiningnan si Blu.

"Baka tuluyan nang hindi bumalik si Zi—" Reed cut off what Atlas was about to say.

"She doesn't care about that anymore." Aniya dahilan para tingnan siya ng team. Reed crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Blu and then to the team.

"Naniniwala ba talaga kayo na kapag gumawa tayo ng gulo ay hindi babalik si Zia?" Natatawa niyang tanong. The team looked at him curiously. "That's bullshit." Natatawang sabi ni Reed. He was being talkative again which, to the team's knowledge, is dangerous.

Alam kasi nilang kapag si Reed na ang nagsasalita, he will spill everything he knows whether it's hurtful or not. And as to their past experiences of Reed's words, alam nilang puro masasakit na katotohanan lang ang sinasabi nito.

"Kahit na magpatayan pa tayo, hindi babalik si Zia dahil lang dun." Natatawang sabi ni Reed at tiningnan si Blu.

"Babalik si Zia kapag umaayon na ito sa plano niya." Mariin niyang sabi at tiningnan ng maigi si Blu.

"That means that you getting engaged is nothing to her. That won't make her change her mind nor her plans. Don't be too full of yourself, alright Van Saint? Because in the first place, she let you go because you're not her priority." Ani Reed at dahan-dahang nilapitan si Blu.
