Chapter 33

ELEENA'S POV

"When will she wake up?"

"We still don't know Prince Kiel. The good thing is we're be able to remain her body in a normal state"

Dahan-dahan kong dinilat ang mata ko at nakita si Kiel at Xian na nag uusap. Nagtagpo naman ang tingin namin ni Kiel.

What is happening? Bat sila nandito?

"Eleena?" Sabi niya at agad akong nilapitan. Xian held my hands and saw him chanting.

"Thank God your awake. We're all worried" sabi niya at hinimas ang buhok ko.

Ang bigat ng katawan ko at talukap ko. Parang gusto kong ipikit uli yung mga mata ko.

"Please, remain to open your eyes Eleena. You'll be asleep again for days kung matutulog ka ulit" sabi ni Xian.

"Bear with it Eleena" sabi ni Kiel. Tumango naman ako.

"Send a message to the Emperor that Lady Eleena is awake" rinig kong sabi ni Xian.

"Yes, Your Holiness" sabi ng maid at lumabas. Dahan dahan akong bumangon. Buti nalang at tinulungan ako ni Kiel.

"Bakit nandito kayo?" Tanong ko.

"You didn't remember?" Di makapaniwalang sabi ni Kiel. Nagtaka naman ako at umiling.

"Caspian found you laying on the bathroom's floor. Your forehead and nose was bleeding badly" sabi niya na ikinatigil ko.

Bigla kong naalala ang nangyari.

I did went to the bathroom para maghilamos. Ang sama talaga ng pakiramdam ko nun. Hanggang sa sumuka ako ng dugo at nahimatay.

Hinawakan ko ang ulo ko at may benda nga.

"Your asleep for 3 days. Nabagok ang ulo mo sa sink. Buti naman at di malala ang pakiramdam mo ngayon" sabi ni Xian.

What the heck? 3 days?! Gaano ba kalakas ang pagkabagok ng ulo ko?

"Thank you Your Holiness" pasalamat ko. Ngumiti naman siya at tinapik ang balikat ko.

"Anything for you Lady Eleena" sabi niya ay ngumiti.

Bigla akong nakaramdam ako ng bigat sa kanang kamay. Tinignan ko ito at nagulat ng may bakal na nakalagay nito.

It looks like shackles but with gems on it.

"Ano toh?" Tanong ko at itinaas ang kanang kamay.

"Gãrtx. It's for blocking your mana. I notice that your gaining mana slowly. Why you didn't tell us?" Sabi niya. Napa iwas naman ako ng tingin.

"I was doing fine. Kaya di ko na pinansin" sabi ko. Nakita kong napa iling si Kiel.

"It would make your life in danger Eleena. You also have to take care of yourself" sabi ni Kiel.

"I'm sorry" sabi ko. Napabuntong hininga naman siya at hinawakan ang kamay ko.

"You always care about the others. Alagaan mo naman ang sarili mo" alalang sabi niya. Tumango naman ako.

"Uy Kiel, sumbong kita kay Caspian. May pa hawak kamay ka na" ngising sabi ni Xian na ikinakunot ng noo ko.

"Shut the f*ck up Xian kung ayaw mong mamatay" singhal ni Kiel na ikinatawa ko.

"Masakit yun sa damdamin Kiel. Holiness ako tapos minura lang" simangot niyang sabi. Napailing nalang sa kanilang dalawa na may ngiti sa labi.

Tinignan ko ulit yung Gãrtx na nasa wrist ko. Na agaw naman ang pansin ko sa gem na nakalagay sa gitna.

"Your Holiness... This gem" sabi ko at tinuro yung gem. Tinignan naman niya ito.

"Oh, it was your necklace gem" sabi niya.

What?!

Bigla naman siyang tumawa na ikinataka ko.

"Don't make that face Lady Eleena. I saw that gem hangging on your neck and felt a strong mana in there. It was also protecting you. That's why I made an idea to put it there. So that Gãrtx won't easily break" sabi niya. Napabuntong hininga nalang ako at tumango.

Tinignan ko ang gem at napangiti. Totoo talaga ang sinabi ni Mama. Even if she's not with me anymore. She's still protecting me.

"Could we talk for a moment Lady Eleena?" Rinig kong sabi niya.

"What is it Your Holiness?" Sabi ko.

"Alone" sabi niya at tinignan si Kiel. Nilingon ko si Kiel at tumango naman siya.

"Make sure to call me when that bastard do something bad" seryosong sabi ni Kiel. Napatawa naman ako at tumango.

"I'll definitely sure you can't enter the temple anymore Kiel. Di kita bibigyan ng blessings para mabulok ka!" simangot na sabi ni Xian. Narinig ko namang tumawa si Kiel at lumabas.

Langya! Biglang nawala yung antok ko ng dahil sa sakanila.

Napatawa naman ako at napailing nalang siya.

"What do you want to talk about Your Holiness?" Tanong ko. Napataas naman ang kilay ko nang nakatitig lang siya sakin.

"Is there somet----"

"You really look just like your mother"

Napatigil naman ako sa sinabi niya.

What? Did I heard him right?

"You know my mother?!" Gulat kong sabi.

"How I would not know my dearest friend?" Sabi niya at napatawa.

"She's my friend when were still in the Nethilor Academy" sabi niya.

"I'm also being captivated by your Mom. Who would a stupid man won't be amazed by your mother?" Sabi niya at tumawa. I just remained silent and listening to him.

"She's good in using her magic with her sword. Merging with your magic to your sword is difficult. Even I didn't mastered it completely. But she did..." Sabi niya at napangiti

"She hates studying and I hate training my magic skills. That's why we help each other. I help her with the studies and she'll help me on my trainings. Para kaming aso't pusa pero di ko alam rin alam kung bakit nagsama parin kami hanggang sa nakapagtapos kami" he said and look at me. Those weary eyes...

He's in pain...

"I decided to confess my love for her and your mother also love me" sabi niya na ikinagulat ko.

"Pero parang pinagbawalan kami ng bathala" dugtong niya.

"Bakit di kayo nagtuluyan?" Tanong ko. If they would end up together my mother won't experience those horrible things. Mother would be happy right now with him. Bearing a child with him and live peacefully.

"We can't" sabi niya at napangiti ng mapait.

"Brianna and I can't be together... A keeper and a person were meant for the temple can't be together. It's a taboo" sabi niya.

"But why?" Tanong ko.

"When our blood has mixed. It would make a disaster. Our child would bring a curse to Zemira" sabi niya na ikinatigil ko.

"She's the next Keeper of the Golden Tree and I will be the next Holiness. Alam na namin to noon pa pero di namin kaya. We've decided to hide our relationship" sabi niya at huminga ng malalim.

"But it didn't work. May nakaalam sa relasyon namin. They take brianna into the dungeon and the people from the temple punish me. I was in deep pain that time. Kung pwede lang ako lang yung parusahan" sabi niya. I saw his tears started to fall.

"Di ko na siya nakita ulit. I was also forbidden to enter the Palace. Hanggang sa nalaman kong patay na siya." Sabi nuya at pinunasan ang mga luha niya.

"Brianna went to the border with the other mages and knights. When they met Ruler of the Demons. That demon can freely crossed the border even the barrier was there"

"Parang gumuho yung mundo ko. Kung di ko lang siya nakilala ay buhay pa siya ngayon. Kahit makita lang siya sa malayuan okay na ako" sabi niya at tinignan ako.

"I'm sure we are the perfect couple, we're just in a wrong situation, time, and place . If we had born into to the Earth. Walang pipigil sa pagmamahalan namin" sabi niya.

"Y-you know about the Earth?" Utal kong sabi.

"Yes, That's where Brianna has been Reincarnated" sabi niya na ikinatigil ko.

" I did my best to find a way to revive her and make her come back. But the only thing I can do is look at her with those marbles" sabi niya.

Does he mean he was watching my mother when she was on earth?! But how?

"How did you do it?" Tanong ko.

"The gem" sabi niya at tinuro ang gem na binigay ni mama.

"I gave that to her as a present and I was thankful for that" sabi niya.

"Pero bakit ako napunta dito? I was about to die. Sa pagka alala ko when I was falling I heard a voice " sabi ko at tinignan siya. He just smiled at me na ikinatigil ko.

"Don't tell me you're that ma---"

"Yes, you are right. I was that man Eleena" sabi niya. Di ako makapaniwala sa narinig. Pano? If he can reincarnate me? How come my mother can't?

"B-but...how?!" Gulat kong sabi.

"I did find a way to reincarnate the person" sabi niya.

"Si Mama---"

"But, I was too late. Brianna died when she gave birth to you" sabi niya. W-what? It's all my fault... I shouldn't have born.

Tears started to fall on my cheeks.

"I-it's all my fault... I-i'm sorry" I sobbed.

"No, it's not your fault Eleena" sabi niya at pinunasan ang mga luha ko. The Bougenvilla family hates me for being existed. How come he doesn't hate me?

"There's nothing much worse than meeting the perfect person at the wrong time. But, when I die and get reincarnated. I would definitely find her and love her again" sabi niya at ngumiti.

Napatingin naman kami sa pintuan ng bigla itong bumukas. Bumungad naman si Caspian at agad lumapit sa akin.

"Eleena! You're finally awake!" Sabi niya at agad akong niyakap. Nakita kong tumayo si Xian

"I shall take my leave Your Majesty. I hope for your fast recovery Lady Eleena" sabi nuya at ngumiti.

"Your Holiness---"

"We'll talk the other time" he mouthed and walk towards the door.

"I'm glad you're awake" sabi ni Caspian at hinalikan ang noo ko.

"Thank you for saving me Your Majesty" sabi ko at nag bow sakanya.

"Are you still going on keeping like this Eleena?" Sabi niya. What is he talking about?

"What are you talking about Your Majesty?" tanong ko. Nabugla akong nang bigla niya akong hinila papalapit sa kanya.

F*ck!

Ang lapit ng mukha namin. Nakatitig siya sa mga mata ko. His face is getting closer to mine.

What the h*ck is he trying to do?!

"C-caspian?!" Utal kong sabi. Bigla naman siyang tumigil at napangiti.

"Yes, my love" sabi niya at ngumiti na parang mapupunit na yung pisngi.

Langya!

Napatigil naman kaming dalawa ng may kumatok. Bumukas ito at bumungad si Martha.

"Lady Eleena, A letter from Winter Kingdom" sabi niya at binigay ang sulat sakin. Winter Kingdom?

Binuksan ko ito at sulat ito galing kay Captain Lux.

Anne's boyfriend? Anong kailangan niya?

Binasa ko ang sulat at agad bumaba sa kama. Sinubukan kong maglakad pero bumagsak ako sa sahig.

"Eleena! What the h*ck are you doing? You're still weak!You need to rest" Sabi ni Caspian at itinayo ako.

"I can't, Zane needs me" sabi ko at bumitaw sa kanya. Nakita kong sumeryoso siya at biglang hinablot ang sulat.

"What the! Give it back" sabi ko.

Zane is sick. He was sick for over 3 days. He was expecting me to visit him.

Nagulat ako ng bigla niyang pinunit ang sulat.

"Why did you do that?!" Galit kong sabi.

"No one is leaving Eleena" seryoso niyang sabi. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin at dahan dahang naglakad papuntang pintuan.

Nagulat ako ng bigla niyang hinawakan ang kamay ko.

"Caspian, let go of my hand" pikon kong sabi.

"No" galit niyang sabi. Sinubukan kong hilain ito pero mahigpit ang pagkahawak niya.

"Bitawan mo ako Caspian. Pupuntahan ko si Zane" sabi ko.

"I SAID NO ONE IS F*CKING LEAVING ELEENA. I ALSO NEED YOU! DITO KALANG!" sigaw niya na ikinagulat ko.
