Chapter-108

Question and Answer


Jay-jay's POV


"Question #1!" He said and looked at me. "...Where is your Mom?"
I didn't want to answer but I also didn't want to drink.
"N-with his new wife."
He had no reaction or expression to my answer.
"Your turn." He said again.
I asked him a lot of questions, I just didn't know what to
prioritize.
"Is there still a chance that you and Aries can make up?"
He didn't answer. He immediately took the glass and drank.
"My turn..." He said. "...Is there still a chance that you and Aries can make up
?" He asked me back.
Is there?
I didn't know the answer and it would be unfair of me to answer the
same question I threw at him.
I took the glass and sipped it. Mud! My throat hurts!
It's drawing up to my chest. What kind of alcohol is this?
"Me too..." I said. "...What's in your earring?"
He held his earring for a moment before answering.
"It belonged to my Mom."
I wanted to ask more but he had to do it first.
"I remember the incident with Ram. How did that happen?" I
didn't want to be asked that question.
I didn't answer so I sipped the glass and sipped the
contents.
"When did you wear that earring?" I asked.
"When we thought Percy died. I had no one to comfort me. So
I went to her room and I saw this earring. I felt like I was with
her when I took it. So I choose to wear it." She explained.
That feeling you get is painful but happy. That's how she is, it's painful to talk about
her Mom but at the same time she's happy.
"You... What's with your father?" She asked.
"I-I never had him... I only saw him in a picture.
Grandma just said that Mama was angry with Papa so she kept me away. After that,
I didn't know anything about him. Until we saw him yesterday." I answered
and forced a smile.
She answered my question to her Mom, what if I answered
the one about my Papa.
"Where are the pair of earrings?"
She looked away and seemed to be thinking. I felt like she lost them
but she told her Mom that it meant they were important to her.
"I gave them to the wrong person."
To Ella?
I wanted to ask that. But he really doesn't want to talk about Ella.
Her name seems to be a trigger and this one turns into a monster with anger.
"You... What's the real reason for your fight with Aries?"
I looked at the glass of wine. I didn't want to drink.
My throat hurt so bad but I didn't know how to answer his question.
I was forced to pick up the glass and drink the contents.
Damn! It hurts!
"You... Who did you give a partner to?"
He didn't answer. He just drank and poured it again. I felt like
Ella was the one he gave it to.
Hey...
"What happens to that Cyrus guy?"
Why did Cyrus come into the conversation? I don't want to! And I don't know either. Even though
I felt like I was getting hit by the wine. I still drank just to avoid
his question.
With so many questions I wanted to ask, I couldn't remember what they were.
"How did you meet Aries, Yuri and Percy?"
"Fight... I fought with Yuri, I was annoyed by his expression.
Then Percy came to the rescue. Aries, was just walking then
Percy punched him. We both got picked up by guidance."
He told me.
I wanted to laugh at what he said. It was funny when they met. And
rom the fight, their friendship was formed.
"Was Cyrus a good boyfriend to you?" He asked.
I bowed my head. I didn't want to discredit Cyrus. But because...
"W-at first, yes... But after a while, not anymore. He was also hot-headed,
stubborn and spoiled."
He looked at me directly and seriously. I couldn't read if he was angry
or what.
"You... Uhmmm..." I thought for a moment. "...Who was
your first girlfriend?"
Wit! Why did I ask that?
"Freya." He answered quickly.
My eyes widened at what he said. Freya? As in Freya Hidalgo?
The daughter of...
"Are you serious?" I asked in disbelief.
"Hey... One question at a time." He said. "It's my turn, is Cyrus the only one
you've ever been boyfriend to?"
I shook my head. "I had my first boyfriend but he's gay now."
I saw him smile but he quickly took it back.
"It's me... Why Freya?"
"What do you mean 'why Freya'? I guess I liked her."
"Well... I just can't believe you liked her."
"She doesn't look like that yet."
Huh?!
"It's my turn to ask again... Is David really your type?"
I suddenly laughed at his question. It turned out that he also believed that David
was really my type.
"H-no... Hahaha... I really can't teach you anything." I replied
"You lied to Ci-N."
"It seems like that's it... It's me again. Who do you like
now?" I asked him.
He looked away and immediately took the glass to drink the
contents.
Fool!
"You.. who do you like now?" He asked me back.
Why should I tell you? He's so cunning, so I took the glass and was about
to drink it but he grabbed my arm.
"Answer it." He ordered.
"I don't want to..." I said and immediately withdrew my arm to drink the
contents of the glass.
Argh! It's like I can't take it anymore.
"Shhh..."
You can't do anything. You're as cunning as the King of Vipers. Why
do my eyes seem to be spinning?
I'm the one who's going to ask.
"Do you still love Ella?" I asked directly.
Haha!
I guess the filter in my mouth disappeared and that question just came out on its own
.
Keifer quickly took the glass but I moved faster.
I snatched the glass from him and looked at him.
"I don't want to answer." He said.
He stared at me for a long time. It was as if he was telling
me not to ask anymore about Ella.
He suddenly looked in another direction. It was as if something
pierced my heart. I slowly lowered the glass in front of him.
He took it and drank it.
"One last question..." He said to me but it seemed like he didn't want to play this game.
"...Do you like Yuri?"
What did he say?
Yuri now. Cyrus was a while ago. Keifer must have been drunk.
"I don't know..." I didn't feel like answering. "...Yes, maybe. Yuri is kind
to me. And he studies hard. Right?"
"How about me, do you like me?" He asked.
Huh? Shouldn't I be the one asking? Is it me? I can't
remember. I'm getting dizzy.
"I don't know... I'm annoyed with you. I don't understand you. It's like
you have a penis or a penis, your punches are so strong." I told him.
He laughed a little. It was as if he was even amused by my comment even though
it was really supposed to be an insult.
He's crazy!
"That's right. You're laughing at my insult to you. You
really are a fool. The fools are taking you for granted. You really are
their King. KING OF VIBES!"
"Excuse me? Did you just call me King of the Snakes?" He asked
with a hint of annoyance.
Did I say that?!
"Uhmmm..."
I can't think of an excuse. Maybe this idiot will get mad at me again
. My head still hurts.

Keifer's POV
I can't believe this girl. She just calls me, King of the Snakes. And I don't
even know what ulupong means.
I'm still staring at her when she suddenly touches her head and
lies down on the sofa.
"My head hurts... I feel dizzy. I think I've been hit by alcohol."
She said.
It's obvious.
Why are they so quick to get hit by alcohol? Am I the only one who has a high
tolerance with alcohol?
I approached her so I could get a good look. I just touched
her hand when I noticed that she was already closed.
Did she fall asleep?
I shake her a bit, but she's not moving. I chuckled from what happened. That
's why this girl is so easily destroyed. She's so quick to get knocked out by alcohol.
I carry her, bridal style. Oh crap! She seems to be getting heavier. I breathe
heavily before walking out. I just go straight until I reach the stare
case.
What the...
I think I need to renovate our house and add an elevator or escalator.
I only just realized the size and number of steps of
our stairs.
I'm having a hard time carrying her. I put her down a little and changed
her position. I picked her up like a sack of rice.
I climbed the stairs. I took her to the same room
I took her to before. It's just in front of my room.
When I put her down on the bed, I immediately arranged her position.
I also put a pillow on her and hugged her like before.
After covering her with a blanket, I sit beside her. I can't help staring at her
innocent face.
Do you still love Ella?
I keep asking myself the same question. Yes, that is my answer from the
start, but while I'm staring at Jay-jay, I ask the same question. I'm starting to
get confused.
What is going on with me?
"So it's true..." Someone spoke from the door.
I looked at him for a moment before standing up and approaching his place.
"What do you want?" I asked him.
"Nothing... I just want to confirm if you do have a visitor." Keigan said
and smiled.
His top is running again. There is something different about his smile. I know he
is not in his usual self.
"You saw her. You can go now." My order.
He chuckled. "Why in a hurry big bro? Are you planning to do
something to her?"
I immediately grabbed his collar and stared down at him. I don't like
Keigan's behavior when he is like this.
"Easy.." he said while raising his hand like surrendering.
I can sense his fear. I always do with many people. Expect for one, she's the
only one who knows how to handle my anger.
"Ella..." Keigan said. "...I saw her with your former best friend, Aries."
I let go of him. "I don't care."
"Yeah... Like what you've always said." He was teasing me.
If Keigan wasn't my brother, I'd probably have paralyzed him.
I don't know what hit him in the brain right now and
he was so happy to annoy me again.
I looked at Jay-jay who was sound asleep before I closed the door.
I have a lot of things to do. I didn't want to leave him but I need to.
I looked at Keigan seriously. "Don't make a mistake." I threatened him.
He raised his hand again and smiled. Not that I don't trust my brother but I
need to be sure.
