ELEENA'S POV
Where am I? I'm not familiar with this place. It's a forest. I look around, and I'm the only one here.
"Eleena"
Sino yon? I look back, and saw a woman.
"Sino ka?"
Umiiyak siya. She came close to me.
"Eleena, anak ko" sabi niya habang umiiyak.
What?
"M-mama?"
No! It can't be! She's dead right?
Agad niya akong niyakap. I hugged her back, and burst out crying.
"Ma?! Akala ko--"
"Oo, patay na ako pero nandito parin ako sa tabi parati" sabi niya at hinawakan ang pisngi ko.
"Paano?"
"The necklace. I put some of my remaining mana in there. Pero konting panahon nalang ay mauubos na yun. I'm happy I can take a look of this world before I vanish forever." sabi niya na ikinataka ko.
What? Does she mean...
"Take care of yourself, anak. Promise me you'll treasure the necklace. Malaking tulong yun kung may mangyayari man sayo." She said and kiss my forehead. I tried to move my hand pero di ko ito maigalaw.
I can't move my body!
She slowly walking away and notice her body vanishing.
"Ma!! Please don't leave me again" tawag ko sa kanya. I'm can't stop myself crying. I just want to see her everytime and spend more time with her.
Lumingon naman siya sa akin at ngumiti. Pero parang pinilit niya lang ngumiti para sakin.
No!
"You should wake up now. A lot of people are waiting for you to come back, especially that Emperor. Always remember Eleena that I love you" she said and completely vanished.
"NOO!!!"
Nagising ako at hinahabol ang hininga.
"Eleena?!" gulat ni Anne at nilapitan ako.
"You're awake! Tatawagin ko ang Emperor" sabi niya at dali- daling umalis.
Tears started to flow down on my cheeks. That was the first time I saw her, and she exactly looked like me. If she was still alive, I would never experience those sufferings.
Napatingin ako sa pintuan ng bumukas ito. It was Caspian. His fair is messy and catching his breath looking at me with a shock face. Mukhang tumakbo pa siya papunta dito.
Agad siyang lumapit sakin at niyakap ako .
"Eleena, you're finally awake!" He said while hugging me tightly. I hugged him back.
"Caspian" i started to cry again.
"Hushhh... It's okay I'm here" he wispered.
Ilang minuto ang nakalipas ay kumalma narin ako. Caspian is still here comforting me. I ask him kung naabala ko ba siya, but he said Leo is taking care all of it.
"Ilang oras ba akong natulog?" I ask him, but he was surprised.
"You've been asleep for 5 days Eleena" sabi niya na ikinatigil ko.
What?!
5 Days?!
Is he serious?!
I look at him with disbelief, and he was freakin serious. I ask him why am I asleep for a long time, and he explained everything what happened.
"I'm sorry, I just want to help that kid." sabi ko at ngumiti ito.
"You did the right thing, Eleena" sabi niya at hinawakan ang pisngi ko.
"I'm glad you're okay now" he hug me again.
Naalala ko naman ang sinabi ni mama. I should treasure it, Hinawakan ko ang leeg ko at napatigil ng namalayang wala ang kwintas. I immediately let go of him, and started to look in the bed, hoping na baka natanggal lang ito.
"What are you looking for?" Nagtaka siya kung bakit nag papanic na ako.
"M-my necklace!"
No...
I lost it...
"I have it" sabi ni Caspian kaya napatingin agad ako sa kanya.
"Please, give it back to me" sabi ko pero umiwas ito ng tingin.
"I can't, it's what the holiness told me" I pleaded pero wala parin siyang plano ibigay.
"Kung okay na ako. Will you return it?" Tumingin naman siya sakin at napabuntong hininga nalang.
"Yeah, I'll return it to you" sabi niya at kalaunam ay sumang ayon nalang ako. Okay lang naman basta alam ko kung nasaan ang kwintas at nasa kaninong kamay ito.
"Caspian, There's something I want to tell you" sabi ko at nagtaka naman siya.
"Go ahead, spill it" he said calmly. Di ako sigurado kung papayag siya, pero kailangan kong subukan.
"Gusto kong tumulong sa hospital. Jeff told me they lack of healers" Bigla naman nangdilim ang aura niya.
"No" agad niyang tanggi. Napabuntong hininga nalang ako.
Sabi ko na nga ba.
"Leo told me that I'm actually pretty good on my healing powers. Please, just let me help them" I pleaded.
"How about your work here?"
"I'll still work on it" sabi ko. Sana pumayag siya.
"You're giving more reasons why would the people wants you to be the Empress." Sabi niya na ikinatigil ko. Nagtataka rin ako kung kailan niya sasabihin sakin ang resulta, but the most important thing is to help the people.
"Okay" sabi niya. I was really happy that he agreed. Nang dahil sa saya ko niyakap ko siya.
"Thank you Caspian!I promise, I won't let you down" ngiting sabi ko.
"I know you won't, Eleena . You should rest first" sabi niya kaya sumunod naman ako.
"You should also rest, Caspian" sabi ko at nagulat ng sumampa siya sa higaan at tumabi sakin.
What the heck is he doing?!
"What? You told me I should also take a rest" sabi niya. Hinila niya ako at niyakap. WTH?! Wala akong sinabing dito siya mag papahinga! I can't understand this man.
"Will you sing for me, Eleena?" sabi niya na ikinagulat ko. Ano siya bata?
I can't let myself disobey him again. Especially, he is the Emperor. Pwede niya akong patayin kung anong oras gusto niya. Were seems close, but I know this wont last. May mga pangyayaring di natin inaasahan.
I started to sing the lullaby, and caressed his golden hair. He's less dangerous when his sleeping. Like an innocent one. Ilang minuto ay nakatulog siya and I closed my eyes and fell asleep again.
It's been two days have passed na may nangyaring masama sakin. I also started to help at the hospital, and I was very happy that I can help . I met a lot of people out there and they sent me gifts and flowers for their gratitude.
"Ate Eleena!"
Nilingon ko ito at nakita si Lesly na tumatakbo sa kinaroroonan ko.
"Lesly!"
Niyakap niya ako at Niyakap ko rin siya pabalik. Sir Gregor became my butler, and Lesly is also helping to the maids. Ilang buwan nalang ay aalis na din si Lesly para pumasok sa academia.
"Aalis ka na?" Tanong niya
"Yes, Ate Eleena needs to go now. Kung may free time ako I'll visit you, okay?" Sabi ko at tumango naman ito.
I get on the carriage at nag paalam siya sakin. I waved back at her. Pagkatapos nang lahat ng trabaho ko sa palasyo ay agad naman akong pupunta sa hospital.
Caspian seems very busy these days. Palaging umaalis at kung walang lakad ay nasa office naman. Ilang araw ko din siyang hindi nakikita at ayaw ko rin naman siyang disturbohin sa trabaho niya.
I arrived at the hospital at saktong kakadating lang ni Jeff. Sabay kaming pumasok sa hospital, and I immediately check the patients kung okay na ang kalagayan nila.
"Eleena!"
"Tatay Victor!" bati ko.
He was admitted here yesterday. Lumapit ako sa kanya at nag mano.
"Tatay Victor, okay na po ba ang pakiramdam niyo?" Tanong ko. He laugh and smiled.
"Abay oo naman! Malakas pa ang matandang to" sabi niya kaya napatawa nalang ako.
"Kay bait mong bata, Eleena. Sana ikaw ang maging Empress sa imperial palace." Sabi niya. Speaking of that, Kailangan ko pang tanungin si Caspian tungkol dun at sana di siya pumayag.
Napansin naman ni Tatay victor na parang di ako komportable sa sinabi niya.
"Wag kang mag alala, Eleena, Nag-aalala din kami para sayo. Kung ayaw mong maging Empress ay okay lang sa amin" sabi niya. Ngumiti ako sa kanya at niyakap siya.
"Thank you"
"Oh siya, kailangan mo pang bisitahin ang ibang pasyente" sabi niya kaya tumayo naman ako at nag paalam sa kanya.
"Inumin nyo po ang gamot nyo ha" sabi ko at tumango naman ito.
Nakalabas na ako sa kwarto ni Tatay Victor ng napansin ko si Jeff tumatakbo patungo sakin.
"Eleena" sabi niya habang hinahabol ang hininga.
"Take it easy, Jeff. What happened?. Takbo ka ng takbo baka madapa ka" sabi ko.
" We need you" sabi niya at agad hinila ako.
"W-wait! Bakit ano bang nangyari? Hinay hinay lang baka madapa ako" sabi ko. Malapit na kami sa isat-isa, kaya di na siya natatakot pag ginagawa niya to sakin.
"Maraming kawal ang dumating dito pati si Prince Kiel" sabi niya. Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya
Did he mention about Sir Knight?
"Bakit? Ano bang nagyari?" sabi ko. Nakahawak parin siya sa kamay ko habang hinila.
"They just got back from the war" sabi niya. What?! War? Kailan pa nag simula?!
"What? You mean a real war?!" Gulat kong sabi sakanya.
"Yes, Kaya dali na! Takbo na tayo. Marami pa tayong gagamutin" Bigla siyang tumakbo kaya nahila ako. Tumakbo nalang rin ako para makasabay sa kanya.
Buti nalang wala dito yung nagtuturo about etiquettes bilang Empress, kundi mapapagalitan ako.
I'm sorry, Madam T_T
Nakarating na kami at madaming kawal ang ginagamot na. Parang wala silang proper treatment galing dun. Kitang kita mo ang mga bendang puno ng dugo.
Then, I saw Kiel. Napansin naman niya ako kaya ngumiti siya, pero bigla itong naglaho ng makita ang kamay namin ni Jeff. He walk towards us with the threatening look.
"Get your hands of the Future Empress!" he said in a warned voice. His eyes are glaring at Jeff.
He misunderstood everything.
Paktay...
Isusumbong niya ba ako kay Caspian?
