CHAPTER 33: VAGUE PERSONALITIES

JADE

Kuya Verdelle can be best in almost everything. He's knowledgable, fast learner and most of all one of the smartest guy I've ever known. Playing chess is one of his hobbies where sometimes he competes for fun, most of the time he wins against strong people yet this is the first time I witness he loss by someone like him.

I immediately walked upstairs and tried opening all of the doors until I reached the middle bedroom where it revealed Lucas lying down in the king size bed with his eyes closed still wearing the school uniform.

“Do you have manners Ms. Hiraide? You should knock first before opening a door. Its a simple courtesy, nag-remind lang ako baka nakalimutan muna” Lucas commented.

“I don't need my manners infront of you. You don't deserve at all along with my respect Sancouer” I replied and widely opened the door that created the noise which made him opened up his eyes and there was a slight of annoyance presented in his face.

“So what's your conclusion? Are you gonna kicked me out in the house?” he fastly throw those questions in a seemingly bored tone and closed his eyes once again. “I'm fine whatever your decision would be. Atleast from me I have a high respect for you not because your a woman but your someone I admired”

“That's sound creepy coming from you” I hugged myself and took a step back. “It seems disgusting”

“What the fuck are you talking about?”

Medyo akong nagulat ng bigla lamang siyang nagmura. Mas mabilis din sa kidlat na bumangon siya sa kama at sobrang nakakunot ang noo niyang nakatingin sa akin. Halos mamula din sa pagkainis hangggang umigting ang panga niya.

“First of all, wala akong gusto sa'yo. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganyan ang agad mung naisip. Magkaiba ang salitang admire at love, spelling pa nga ay sobrang magkaiba sa meaning pa kaya. Higit sa lahat hindi kita type Aria kasi may gusto na akong iba” paliwanag ni Lucas bago tumayo mula sa kama at inaayos ang sarili. “Mas pipiliin ko siya instead of you even she's not much beautiful nor smart. I would still choose her over you”

Umuwang ang labi ko. Mukhang hindi naman siya nagsisinungaling sa sinasabi nito pero tumahimik nalang ako at hindi pinili na pagusapan iyon. Higit sa lahat ay wala akong pake kung anong nangyayari sa lovelife ng walang kwentang lalaking ito.

Bumuntong-hininga nalang ako. Bakit ba umabot dito ang discussion na iba naman ang nasa isipan kung paguusapan naming dalawa.

Sa totoo lang ay mahirap makausap ang taong ito kasi hindi ko alam kung anong tumatakbo sa isipan nito. Higit sa lahat hindi ko kakalimutan na naging miyembro siya ng Dark Organization ibig sabihin ay masama siyang tao na mahirap pagkatiwalaan kahit sa ganitong bagay.

“May gusto ka bang i-tanong?” wika niya.

Binalik ko ang tingin ko sa kanya at tumango ako. “Oo, may gusto akong i-tanong sa'yo na sana masagot mo”

“Is it true that you really betrayed them?”

Umupo muna siya sa paanan ng kama at naglabas ng malalim na hininga bago niya tinaas ang kamay niyang nakaturo sa akin.

“Go to the News about the building that was initialy believed to be bombed at East Marelibane in last week of August” Lucas commanded.

Kinuha ko naman agad ang cellphone ko. Pumunta sa google upang mag-search, ilang sandali maraming news reports at articles ang lumabas mula roon kabilang na ang Marelibane Times. Doon pinundot ko kung anong nakasulat sa news report. Sandali kung sinulayapan si Lucas na ang mga mata ay nasa labas.
