'Van Saint'
"Which promise are you here for?" Nakangiting tanong ni Lucas sa kanya habang pinapakita ang isang maliit ng singsing. The golden ring that he gave her that day. Zia looked at it and smiled.
"The second one. I'm healthy now." Sagot niya. Mahinang natawa si Lucas at tsaka yumuko.
"Much better." Sagot nito at tinapon na ang singsing sa kung saan-saan. Zia looked at the direction where he threw it. It shined due to the reflection of the moon and then vanished into the flower field.
Umupo si Lucas kaya dahan-dahan namang lumapit si Zia sa kanya at umupo sa tabi niya.
"You see, ayaw ko na sanang maalala 'yun." Saglit na natigilan si Lucas dahil sa sinabi ni Zia.
"Because when I do, I'm afraid I might get your hopes up again. Baka isipin mo na mababago ng alaalang 'yun ang kung ano mang meron ngayon. Luca, that was in the past. I already have my heart fixed to someone." Mahinang sabi ni Zia at tiningnan si Lucas na diretso lang nakatingin sa kanya.
Silence covered them for a while hanggang sa bigla nalang ngumiti si Lucas sa kanya.
"Hmm, you became aware of my feelings for you now, huh?" Tanong ni Lucas na hindi magawang sagutin ni Zia. Nakinig lang ito sa kanya.
"Wala naman akong ibang hinihiling. I don't even really care if you remember that stupid memory or not. Your safety is all that matters to us kaya kampante na ako. As long as I get to see you and your stupid smile, it's fine." Nakangiting sabi ni Lucas at tsaka ginulo ang buhok ni Zia.
Zia just blinked for a couple of times and then looked at him.
"Hey, stop calling me stupid." Reklamo ni Zia na mas nagpatawa lang kay Lucas.
"In your dreams, stupid cat." Lucas teased at wala nang nagawa si Zia at natawa narin. "Kapag ako nakahanap ng ipapangalan sa 'yo, you'll beg me to stop calling you that. I'm warning you." Natatawang sabi ni Zia sa kanya.
"Huh! Good luck on that." Lucas said and then his face turned soft all of a sudden, making Zia wonder what he was thinking.
"I knew that nothing would really change even if you remember what happened that night or not." Mahinahong sabi ni Lucas at niyakap naman ni Zia ang mga tuhod niya at inihilig ang ulo rito at tiningnan si Lucas na nakatingin lang sa isang puting bulaklak na nasa harap nila.
"No, something changed." Ani Zia kaya agad na tumingin si Lucas sa kanya.
"I care about you more now. You're my greatest friend, Luca." Agad na natawa si Lucas sa tinawag ni Zia sa kanya at pinitas ang puting bulaklak tsaka tiningnan si Zia. "Even if we already got engaged twelve years ago?" Natatawang tanong ni Lucas.
Zia burst out laughing too, knowing how silly it was for the two of them to even say those words at such a young age.
"Akalain mo, napakamahiyain mo pala noon? And then when you showed up at Diamond Hill, dun, ang sungit mo dun." Sabi ni Zia habang may hindi matanggal na ngiti sa labi niya. Lucas bit his lip and shrugged his shoulder.
"I should've stayed in Diamond Hill. Kinukuha na kasi ni Reed ang spotlight sa UHT." Natatawang sabi ni Lucas at tuluyan nang humiga sa flower field at tiningnan ang buwan. Zia looked at him. "Hey, thank you for worrying about Blu while I was away." Zia said.
Lucas frowned.
"As much as I want to break his face, he's my friend too." Sagot ni Lucas at pinikit na ang mga mata.
"You should visit him now." Dagdag ni Lucas habang nakapikit pero walang sumagot sa kanya. He was about to open his eyes when his body went frozen after feeling soft hands brushing against his cheeks.
"See you tomorrow." Rinig niyang sabi ni Zia at pagmulat ni Lucas ng mga mata niya ay siya nalang mag-isa sa flower field. Sinapo niya ang mukha at tsaka umupo. He then cursed at himself and went looking for the ring that he threw.
Because throwing it away only brought him pain.
✥✥
Kalalabas lang ni Blu sa banyo at may suot na siyang itim na pajama at puting t-shirt habang may tuwalyang nakasabit sa leeg niya. Nasa mansion parin siya nila at naghahanda na para pumunta sa Alpha village pagsikat ng araw.
He ruffled his wet hair and went to the shelf, searching for another book to read to pass the time.
"Hey, can I sleep here instead? Venator is too far." Agad na napapitlag si Blu at nabitawan ang librong kakakuha niya palang sa shelf at tsaka tumingin sa kama ng kwarto niya kung saan dun na nakaupo si Zia at nakangiti pa sa kanya.
"Hey, Van Saint." She softly said.
"Z-Zia—how did you.. when.." Hindi na magawang buoin ni Blu ang mga salita niya kaya tumayo na si Zia at niyakap nalang ito dahil alam niyang naguguluhan lang din si Blu.
"I missed you." Mahinang sabi ni Zia at binaon ang mukha niya sa dibdib ni Blu. Blu slowly snaked his hands at Zia's back, feeling her warmth and inhaling her scent, that's when he knew that she was real.
Agad niya itong niyakap at hinalikan ang buhok nito. Zia smiled at the gesture.
"I missed you more, princess." Sagot ni Blu at hinigpitan ang pagkakayakap kay Zia.
"And I'm assuming that Venator is the Hunter's Kingdom?" Tanong ni Blu at kinarga na si Zia tsaka ito hiniga sa kama niya. Agad naman itong tumango at tsaka nagtago sa ilalim ng comforter. Blu's sheets were warm, just to Zia's liking.
Mahinang natawa si Blu sa ginawa nito at tsaka inayos na ang unan sabay tapik rito. Zia crawled towards it at humiga na ng maayos.
Blu set up the room. Drew the curtains down and turned off the lights, leaving the beam of the moon through the windows to serve as their light.
"C-Can I?" Nauutal na tanong ni Blu at si Zia na mismo ang humila sa kanya at pinatabi sa kanya. Blu settled beside her and even though he doesn't breathe, his breath hitched when Zia moved closer to him, wrapping an arm around his waist.
"I went to see Lucas in the flower field." Zia said.
Dahan-dahang inangat ni Blu ang kamay niya para haplusin ang buhok ni Zia na siyang nakapikit habang nagsasalita.
"Naalala ko na 'yung nawalang alaala sa akin noon." Dagdag ni Zia. Blu just listened.
"I remember asking Lucas to marry me. That was silly." Natatawang sabi ni Zia at hinigpitan ang pagkakayakap kay Blu na siyang tahimik lang. Blu rested his chin on Zia's head, humming a tune to send her to sleep.
"Hey, hindi ka ba galit?" Tanong ni Zia at tiningnan si Blu. Blu took a look at her now purple eyes and slowly planted a kiss on her cheek. "I'm just so happy that you're back." Sabi ni Blu at niyakap itong muli. Ngumiti nalang si Zia.
"What did you tell Lucas anyway?" Mahinahong tanong ni Blu habang hinahaplos parin ang buhok ni Zia.
"I thanked him for looking after you. And that memory didn't change anything except that I care more about him now. But no worries, you're still my Van Saint." Diretsong sabi ni Zia at binaon ang sarili niya sa ya
kap ni Blu.
Blu didn't say a thing. He had something in his mind. Tahimik lang siya habang hinahaplos ang buhok ni Zia at dinadamdam ang paghinga nito. Zia had to look up to him.
"Blu, bakit ang tahimik mo?" Paglalambing ni Zia habang nakatingin lang si Blu sa bintana.
"Hey, look at me." Zia said. And he did. He looked at her and his eyes flashed blue again. It was all Zia wanted to see.
"Marry me, Van Saint."
Red. Dimitri Blu Van Saint's face was deep red after hearing what Zia said.
"I-I'm the one that's supposed to say that!" Sambit ni Blu at tinakpan ang mukha niya sabay talikod kay Zia. It made Zia giggle at umupo siya sa kama at tiningnan si Blu na pulang-pula parin. Hinawakan ni Zia ang dalawang kamay nito ay hinila siya paupo.
Even when they're sitting, Blu still couldn't look at her kaya hinawakan ni Zia ang magkabilang pisngi nito at pinaharap sa kanya.
"Then ask me." Nakangiting sabi ni Zia sa kanya. She looked at Blu's lips that were parting to give her an answer. Yumuko si Blu at hinawakan ang kamay ni Zia at tsaka tiningnan ito sa mga mata.
"I'll ask you when I know you're a hundred percent su—" Hindi na natapos ni Blu ang sasabihin niya dahil tinulak na siya ni Zia pahiga sa kama at naramdaman niya ang labi nito sa labi niya. Nanigas ang katawan ni Blu at parang nasira ang mga turnilyo sa utak niya dahil sa mga nangyayari.
"You talk too much, Van Saint." Zia mumbled, biting Blu's lower lip, drawing blood out of it.
She sat up on the bed, taking a good look at how the blood ran from his lips to his chin down to his neck. Zia's eyes sparked after seeing it at hindi na nakakilos pa si Blu nung bumaon na ang pangil ni Zia sa leeg niya.
"Mine." She whispered.
"Mine." She said, biting near his collar bones. "Mine." She said, taking off his shirt and biting his chest.
How Zia managed to take off his shirt remained a mystery to him. As her lips wandered in his body, unti-unti nang nawawala si Blu sa tamang pag-iisip.
"Mine. Mine. Mine." It was all she said, leaving bite marks everywhere hanggang sa hawakan ni Blu ang pisngi niya at dun na siya tumigil tsaka tiningnan si Blu sa mga mata. His eyes remained blue as he looked at her and in just a split second, he changed their positions.
"Stop, please." Even with a calm tone, it was still obvious that Blu was having a hard time. Zia looked at how the bite marks healed and then frowned.
She rested her head on the pillow and looked at the ceiling, licking her lips to savor the taste of Blu's blood.
"Bakit mo ba kasi iniisip na mapupunta ako sa iba? You're mean." Sabi ni Zia at humigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa bedsheet.
"Hey, I'm sorry. I just wanted you to be sure." Malambing na sabi ni Blu at hinawakan ang pisngi ni Zia para tingnan siya nito. "I am sure. A million percent sure." Diretsong sagot ni Zia pero mahina niyang tinulak si Blu at tsaka tumagilid.
"But you just rejected me. You're so mean." She said, pouting and hiding under the covers. Tinakpan ni Blu ang mukha niya para rin itago ang ngiting umuusli sa labi niya. Sinuot niya muli ang puting t-shirt at tsaka na niya dahan-dahang tinanggal ang kumot na nakatakip kay Zia at tsaka niyakap ito mula sa likod.
"I would never reject you. I'm sorry if I was mean." Blu softly said, placing a kiss on Zia's nape and drawing her near.
"But I have my limit, Zia. So, you need to stop acting so cute or else I might break my promise to the King." Mahinang sabi ni Blu kaya agad na gumalaw si Zia at tsaka humarap sa kanya. Her eyes gleamed and there was a smile on her lips.
"Break it." Nakangiti niyang sabi. Pumula na naman ang pisngi at tenga ni Blu at tuluyan na niyang binalot si Zia ng kumot, leaving only her face visible.
"No, go to sleep." Malambing na sabi ni Blu pero tumingin lang si Zia sa kanya at umangat ang gilid ng labi nito at tsaka tinanggal ang kumot na nakatakip sa katawan niya. She then tackled Blu on the bed, pinning him.
"Can we do it?" She softly asked.
Blu's brain went short-circuit. Parang pumutok ang utak niya at parang hindi alam kung anong gagawin. He gathered up his strength and changed their positions and used that opportunity to walk away from the bed and immediately went to the door.
"S-Sa kabilang kwarto lang ako." Nauutal nitong sabi at napabuntong-hininga nalang si Zia at tsaka ngumuso. "But you said you wouldn't reject me." She said, making a sad face with pleading eyes. Blu sighed and palmed his face.
"Zia, please.." Desperadong sabi ni Blu habang hawak na ang door knob.
"Fine, cuddle with me instead." Sagot ni Zia at dun na nakahinga ng maluwag si Blu at tsaka na lumapit sa kama. Zia tapped on the bed at umupo naman si Blu dito at tsaka sinandal ang likod sa bed frame. Zia then sat on his lap and hugged him.
It wasn't really the position that Blu had in mind but it was still comforting kaya tinakpan na niya ng comforter ang katawan ni Zia at tsaka na kumuha ng libro.
He listened to her breath as he flipped the pages of the book. He bathed himself with her scent. The sweet scent of strawberry wine. Saglit niyang ibinaba ang libro at niyakap narin pabalik si Zia at hinalikan ang buhok nito.
"Mine." Zia heard what he said, making her smile and finally dozing off to sleep.
✥✥
"Dimitri! The car heading to the alpha village is here!" Sigaw ni Dior mula sa labas ng kwarto ni Blu at pinihit na ang door knob nito. Pasimple siyang pumasok pero agad na natigilan nung makita niya si Blu na nagbabasa ng libro habang natutulog parin si Zia sa ibabaw niya.
Tinakpan kaagad ni Dior ang bibig at tiningnan si Blu na itinapat lang ang daliri sa bibig niya para sabihin kay Dior na 'wag itong mag-ingay.
"You didn't.. uhh.." Pabulong na sabi ni Dior at tiningnan lang siya ng masama ni Blu. Ngumiti nalang ito at tsaka na sinara ang pinto.
"Oh, Dior. Where's Dimitri? Pupunta rin kasi sina Tita sa Alpha village para kausapin si King Jun." Dash and Deval arrived at napapikit nalang si Dior.
"Uhh, he's busy." Sagot ni Dior. Kumunot naman ang noo nung dalawa.
"Busy with what?" Tanong ni Dawson na kararating lang at may coffee mug na dala-dala.
"His girlfriend visited him." Singit ni Dalton sa usapan habang nakatingin sa cellphone niya at naglalaro parin. Damien also showed up in his pajamas and with an annoyed look. "Nandito si Kharis?" Tanong nung bata.
Mahinang natawa si Dalton.
"I mean, the rightful girlfriend is here." Dalton said at napaawang nalang ang bibig nina Dash at Deval at tsaka itinapat ang mga tenga nila sa pinto ng kwarto ni Blu kaya agad silang hinampas ni Dior at pinalayo rito.
"Dior! Where is Dimitri?" Rinig nilang tawag ng ama't ina ni Blu mula sa baba. Dumungaw naman sina Dash at Deval at nginitian sila.
"Umalis na po, Tita. Nauna na sa alpha village." Sabay-sabay na sagot ng magpinsan maliban kina Damien at Dalton na tahimik lang. "Really? Well then, aalis na kami. Call us when you need something." Huling bilin nito bago umalis.
Pag-alis nila ay sabay-sabay na tumingin ang magpinsan sa pinto ng kwarto ni Blu na kakabukas lang. Sinubukan pang sumilip nina Dash at Deval sa loob pero agad na sinara ni Blu ang pinto at hinarap ang mga pinsan niya at tsaka pinagkrus ang mga braso sa harap ng dibdib niya.
"Did you do naughty things last night, Kuya Dimitri?" Nakangiwing tanong ni Damien kay Blu. Blu palmed his face and breathed out.
"You know, if only I could." Wala sa sarili niyang sagot at naglakad na papunta sa kusina.
"Let her sleep or else she'll blow up the mansion." Pasimpleng sabi ni Blu nung nakikinig parin sina Deval at Dash sa loob ng kwarto ni Blu. Wala na silang nagawa at sumunod na kay Blu sa kusina. He ruffled his silver hair, making Dior look at the small spot on his neck at napasinghap nalang ito.
"Dimitri, there's still a visible bite mark on your neck." Bulong ni Dior kaya agad itong tinakpan ni Blu at ngumiti lang tsaka tumalikod muli kaya hindi na nakita ni Dior ang reaksiyon nito.
He started making a cup of hot choco as his cousins gathered at the counter habang nasa dining area naman sina Dalton at Damien.
"Ang hina mo naman, Dimitri." Natatawang sabi ni Dawson kaya saglit na tumingin si Blu sa kanya. Dalton told him what he heard kaya nagawa na niyang tuksuhin si Blu.
"She already asked you but you still rejected?" Natatawang tanong ni Dawson.
"Do you want me to break your bones?" Nakangiting tanong ni Blu sa kanya. Napalunok nalang si Dawson at ibinaba na ang coffee mug niya. "Sabi ko na gentleman ka e." Ani Dawson at sinamahan na sina Dalton at Damien dun sa dining area.
"Dior, paano ba magkajowa?" Ngawa nina Deval at Dash kaya tiningnan lang sila ni Dior at tsaka sabay na hinampas.
"Wala nga akong jowa tapos tinataong niyo pa ako?" Inis niyang tanong sa dalawa.
Tinapos na ni Blu ang hot choco na tinitimpla niya at tsaka na umakyat. Susunod pa sana sina Deval at Dash sa kanya kaya hinawakan na ni Dalton at Dawson ang dalawa tsaka itinali sa dining area. Bumalik na si Blu sa kwarto niya at naabutan si Zia na mahimbing parin na natutulog.
Nilapag ni Blu ang hot choco sa side table at tsaka pumantay sa kama para tingnan ng maayos ang mukha ni Zia.
Her sleeping face looked very peaceful and unguarded.
"How can you let your guard down like this? In front of me, who had always wanted to touch you." Sabi ni Blu sa sarili at ikinuyom ang kamao para pigilan ang sarili niya. He huffed out a breath and looked at her one more time.
"I love you." He whispered.
✥✥
"Oi, where's my sister?" Nakahalukipkip na tanong ni Xy kina Wesy na kararating lang sa alpha village. Nagkatinginan naman sina Lezo at Lesis. "Ha? Wala ba siya rit—"
"Tulog pa." Tipid na sagot ni Wesy, cutting off Lesis' question. Naningkit ang mga mata ni Xy at tiningnan ang kambal na nag-iwas lang ng tingin at tsaka naglakad-lakad nalang sa sala. Bigla namang umangat ang gilid ng labi ni Wesy kaya mas lalong nagtaka si Xy sa kanya.
"What are you smirking about?" Inis nitong tanong.
"Wala naman. Nalaman ko lang na nagmana nga siya sa inyo." Ani Wesy. Xy raised his eyebrow and asked what he meant.
"You know, how faithful she can be. It's amazing." Nakangiting sabi ni Wesy at pinagkrus ang mga braso sa harap ng dibdib niya at tumingin sa Midnight Angels na may mga sariling ginagawa. "What did you do this time?" Tanong ni Xy sa kanya.
Wesy looked at him and scoffed.
"Nothing big." Tipid nitong sagot at napatingin silang lahat sa isang itim na kotse na dumating.
"Oh? It's the Van Saints." Sabi ni Lorisse habang pinupunas ang kamay niya sa apron na suot niya. Xin and Jun went to greet them immediately at kumunot naman ang noo nina Audin. "Asan si Blu?" Nakangusong tanong ni Audin.
"Huh? Dimitri's not here? Pero sinabi na ng mga pinsan niya na nauna na siya rito." Mahinang sabi ng ina ni Blu habang nakatingin kina Xy. Jun looked at Wesy who already had his back turned and was about to walk away pero hinawakan ni Xy ang kwelyo ng polo niya. Jun immediately knew what was going on.
Jun sighed and talked to the Van Saints just to buy Blu and Zia some time.
Maya-maya ay may itim na namang kotse na pumarada sa harap mismo ng mansion at sabay na lumabas sina Zia at Blu habang may dala-dalang box ng donuts.
"Good morning! Sorry we're late~ we bought donuts on the way." Nakangiting bati ni Zia habang itinataas ang box ng donuts na dala niya. Nag-iiwas naman ng tingin si Blu dahil parang papatayin na siya ng Team Alpha at ng Midnight Angels.
That's because Zia is obviously wearing his back polo which was way too big for her.
Luckily, Jun, Xin and Blu's parents were upstairs.
"Milo, nakahanda pa ba 'yung kabaong?" Walang lingong tanong ni Seth.
"All set. Let's bury him." Diretsong sagot nito.
"Oi! Van Saint! Bakit suot ni Zia ang polo mo?! Bakit magkasabay kayo?! Gusto mong mamatay?!" Sunod-sunod na tanong ni Wilder at nilapitan pa si Blu pero binigay lang ni Zia sa kanya ang mga box ng donuts at nginitian siya.
"Be careful." Mahinahong sabi ni Zia at hindi alam ni Wilder kung ano ang ibig nitong sabihin pero kahit 'yun lang ang sinabi nito ay kusa siyang lumayo kay Blu at dinala nalang ang mga box ng donuts sa mesa.
"Takot ka 'no?" Panunukso ni Atlas sa kanya. Wilder just hissed.
"Good morning, Tito." Nakangiting bati ni Zia at isa-isang niyakap ang mga Tito niya. Jayden even took her away from everyone when it was Seth's turn to hug. Mahina nalang natawa si Zia at tumingin-tingin sa paligid. "Where's Mom and Dad?" Tanong niya.
"Talking to your possible in-laws." Tipid na sagot ni Baxter kaya sinamaan siya ng tingin ni Seth.
"I told you, dadaan muna sa akin ang kung sino mang kukuha sa Zia natin!" Stressed na sabi ni Seth at tumingin nalang si Zia sa kanya at ngumiti at tsaka tiningnan si Blu na may pinag-uusapan kasama sina Xy at Ash.
"Kumain na nga tayo, gutom na ako." Ani Shinshi at hinila na si Wilder paupo. Audin sat beside Zia who was now silently eating her breakfast. Umupo narin sina Lezo at Lesis at tiningnan pa ang pagkain. "Ba't ka ganyan makatingin sa pagkain? What do Hunters eat?" Kunot-noong tanong ni Archer sa kanya.
Lesis looked at him and smirked.
"Spoiled brats." Nakangisi nitong sagot at tsaka tiningnan si Audin na agad na napaubo at tsaka tumingin kay Reed na tahimik lang.
"I'll kill him if he eats you." Pasimpleng sabi ni Reed kaya nagkibit-balikat nalang si Lesis tsaka tinikman ang bacon. "Tita Addie? Do the babies have names yet?" Tanong ni Zia habang nilalagyan ng juice ang baso ng Tito Hoshi niya.
"Your Uncle doesn't want to reveal it yet." Nakangiting sagot ni Addie kaya sumimangot naman ang team at tiningnan si Seth. "May pa-thrill ka pa. Kapag naghirap ka, 'wag kang hihingi ng tulong sa amin ah. Bahala ka na sa buhay mo." Walter said, earning a smack from Keya.
"Don't forget that you'll be taking care of one too." Paalala ni Keya sa kanya kaya saglit na inihilig ni Zia ang ulo sa kanan dahil ngayon niya lang kasi nalaman na may magiging kapatid na si Wilder. She hid a smile from everyone at mabilis na tinapos ni Zia ang pagkain niya.
"Tapos ka na?" Tanong ni Audin at tumango si Zia tsaka binigay kay Audin and dessert niya.
Sandali siyang nakinig sa kwentuhan ng mga Tito niya at tsaka tiningnan kung paano ngumiti sina Addie at Keya habang may pinag-uusapan. She then looked at Lucas who was currently annoyed because Blu kept touching his hair.
"Van Saint! I will really kill you and burn you! Stop touching my hair!" Inis na sabi nito pero natawa lang si Blu.
"Kapag pinahaba mo 'yan, you know DinDin will compare you to Lesis." Natatawang sabi ni Blu.
"Eh? Ba't nasali ako?" Inosenteng tanong ni Lesis sa dalawa. Lucas just huffed and gave Blu a smug smile. "Huh! You're just jealous because I'm the only one who looks good in this hair. Am I right, Van Saint?" Panunukso ni Lucas na siya namang nagpa-isip kay Reed.
"Hey, DinDin. Will I look good with long hair?" Pasimpleng tanong ni Reed. Audin frowned and made a disgusted face.
"Long hair is for gays. Like him." Diretsong sagot ni Audin at tinuro pa si Lesis na siyang nilisanan na naman ng kaluluwa sa katawan. Sinalpakan nalang ni Lezo ng bacon ang bibig nito habang nakangiting nakatingin si Zia sa kanila.
She looked at the smile on Blu's face and how his eyes looked while he smiled. And that's when she made up her mind, stood up and walked over to Blu.
She then gently placed a hand on his shoulder kaya sandaling tumigil si Blu sa ginagawa niya at tsaka tiningnan si Zia na nakangiti sa kanya. "Get ready, Van Saint."
'Yun lang ang sinabi ni Zia bago nito pinuntahan sina Xin at Jun sa taas habang naiwang naguguluhan si Blu pati 'yung mga narinig ang sinabi niya. "Mommy?" Tawag ni Zia habang sumisilip sa meeting room. Sabay na lumingon sa kanya ang mga magulang niya pati ang mga magulang ni Blu.
Agad na ngumiti sina Xin nung makita si Zia.
"Baby! Come here." Nakangiting sabi ni Xin at agad namang pumasok si Zia pero saglit siyang napahinto nung makitang nakatingin pala ang mga magulang ni Blu sa polo na suot niya. "That's my Dimitri's shirt, princess." Nakangiting sabi ng ina ni Blu, also recognizing Blu's shirt just by the scent.
Jun's eyes were glued to the polo shirt at agad na tiningnan si Zia. Ngumiti lang si Zia sa mga magulang niya at tsaka tiningnan ang mga magulang ni Blu at yumuko sa harap ng mga 'to.
"I want to marry your son, Mr. and Mrs. Van Saint."
