Yuri's POV
After what we talked about that matter I feel like I just lost my brain. Hindi ko maiproseso sa isipan ko ang mga narinig. Pero may isang pangungusap lang ang paulit-ulit sa isipan ko.
Pangamba para sa kaniya sa aking paglisan. Ang mga huling sinabi ni mama ay parang isang bangungot. Parang ayokong pumikit.
Kaya kong mawala sa kaniya ng ilang araw at ilang kilo-kilometro ang layo. O 'di kaya ay ilang mundo ang layo. Pero ang malayo sa kaniya sa pamamagitan ng panandaliang kamatayan? At ang hindi batid na dimension na humihiwalay sa amin, ay ang hindi ko matatagalan.
"Hey! "
Nabalik ako sa realidad ng pinitik ni Bryan ang noo ko. "What?"I snapped out.
"You are spacing out, Yuri. Kanina ka pa namin kinakausap pero mukhang pinalanggoy mo sa dagat ang utak mo. "James chuckled. I rolled my eyes to him.
"Haish hirap maging overthinker James. "I said. "Ano bang sinabi ni tita? "He asked.
Mahina naman siyang siniko ni Bryan. "Don't you know the word privacy, huh?" James just ignore what he said and he just give him the kind of look-I'm-giving-you-the-way-to-know-the-asnwers-on-your-question-look.
"It's about my mate and the cure on my curse. "I stared at the glass of water. "I think I will spend more time with him before I agreed with them and do the rituals. Because if I will do it, I will be gone for a while. "I said and look straight to Bryan's eye. Trying to tell what my heart wanted to tell him.
"The cure is kinda risky but its worth it naman. "tugon ko
"How long you will be gone? Days? Months? Years? "Bryan asked and I can clearly see the anxiety on his eyes.
Natatawang umiling ako. "Hindi ko alam, baka may anak na kayo sa mga kaniya-kaniyang mate niyo kapag bumalik ak-"Bryan hold my hands.
"Then, hindi pa kami magkakaroon ng anak kung ganun. Because I will wait for her."
"Ano pala ang itinatanong niyo kanina? "
"Ahm, "Bryan cleared his throat. "I just want to ask you if you are free tomorrow. "Walang pag-aalinlangan na tumango ako.
"Yes, I'm free tomorrow. Why? Anong meron?"tanong ko. Pinaninkitan ko sila ng mata ng makita ko ang pagpipigil na ngumiti ni James at ilang beses na paglunok ni Bryan.
"Can you spare your precious time with me my majesty? "I blinked twice. Nagulat ako sa tanong niya. Is it a date or just a friendly something.
"Sure. Where? "
"An early bird picnic at the tip of the Square Hill. "he said. I didn't think twice for it. Ako pa ba ang magiging choosy ngayong siya pa mismo ang nag-aya sa akin? Tsaka pagkakataon na din ito.
"Kasama ba si James? Or tayong dalawa lang? "tanong ko. Tumawa si James. "Halatang ayaw mo akong kasama-"
"No oh. Not that, ahm, it's just I want to know the full details. "
"Huwag ka mag-alala prinsesa, wala ako bukas busy manligaw-este mang ligaw ng hayop. "he chuckled. "So, basically, its a da-two of you only. "
Bumaling naman ako kay Bryan. Maybe its a good chance for me to confess? Or for me to think wisely?
I let out a sigh. "Then, I'm on it. But... "I take a sip first at my hot cocoa.
"Can we bring Riyan? "I'm referring to our cute puppy even though he grow fast, Riyan is still our baby.
"Aww, may pang third wheel, pinunong Alpha. "James teased but Bryan just glared at him.
