Chapter 9

The sun was already up but Mermiah doesn't want to get up to her bed even she can't sleep well last night. She send her friends outside to get her some foods because she remembered that she forgot to eat last night. Everytime she tried to sleep but the image of their accident kiss still lingered on her mind. 

"Arrrgh! That jerk I swear if I'm going to see him again I will kill him with my bare hands!"naiinis niya sabi sa sarili.

Tinampal tampal niya ang pisngi ng napansin niyang umiinit iyon. Kaya tiningnan niya ang sarili sa salamin na nasa kanyang kwarto at nakitang namumula na naman ang mukha niya.

She's a little bit irritated because of it. The feeling is quite new for her because even she reach the maturity age,no merman got her attention like this. She just treated them as her brothers. 

Maya-maya ay lumapit sa kanya ang alagang pagong at stingray. Nilaro laro siya ng mga ito na para bang pinapakalma siya na agad namang gumana. Tiningnan niya ang mga ito at napansing malalaki na ang mga ito. She's a little proud to herself because she was able to raise the two of them. They are both orphans so she decided to adopt them and make them her pets.

They became orphans because of some incident that she witnessed with her two eyes. And that thought make her angry. So the turtle and the stingray hug her to make her calm. She noticed that a strong force is coming out from her that make a room a little bit shaky. Then she remembered the presents of her grandparents is now taking over together with her power.

"Mukhang kailangan ko na namang magsanay para makontrol ko ang aking kapangyarihan dahil may nadagdag na ibang kapangyarihan rito."

When she reached the age of fourteen she already taught how to fight and make herself stronger. Because that the requirement to all royal mermaid and mermen all over the ocean. Luckily she passed them all with excellency.

Kailangan niya maging malakas bilang sunod na tagapagmana ng Aquana. Dahil walang ibang magmamana kundi siya.  Nag-iisang anak lang kasi siya ng kanyang mga magulang. Kaya minsan naiinggit siya sa kanyang kapwa prinsepe at prinsesa.

After she calmed herself,she started playing with her pets again. Even she was naughty and heartless sometimes,  her friends and let have always a special place in her heart.

Maya-maya pa ay pumasok na ang dalawa niyang kaibigan na dala-dala ang madaming pagkain. At mukhang sariwa pa ang mga ito. Kaya siguro medyo natagalan ang dalawa sa pagbalik sa kanya dahil nanguha pa sa labas ng palasyo. Alam kasi ng mga ito na ayaw niyang kumain ng hindi na masyadong sariwa. May dala itong mga krills,seaweeds,small fishes,lobsters at cray fishes. Inalok niya ang mga itong kumain kasama ang mga alaga niya kaya sabay-sabay na silang kumaing lima.

Although Aguania and Coralia are her friends they have to serve and do her bidding because that's the strict rules of her grandparents. If the two are present in her side, she's not tolerated to ask favor or request to the other servants. But when her grandparents wasn't paying attention to her,both of her parents is tolerating what she wants.

Busy sila sa pagkain ng magsalita si Aguania at tiningnan siyang nakakaloko." So what is the feeling to be kissed by someone whose not belong to our kind?"

Mermiah is munching some seaweed that time. Kaya muntik niya ng maibuga ang paboritong dessert niya. Nang malunok niya ang pagkain ay nagsalita siya.

" Wala naman akong naramdaman,bukod sa feeling na para akong humahalik sa bato."deny niya sa mga ito kahit may iba siyang nararamdaman.

"Kahit na nga sa kauri natin wala akong maramdaman ni anung paghanga, alangan namang dun sa nakakadiring iyon may maramdaman ako?"pagtataray niyang sagot.

Napangiti naman si Aguania sa sagot niya at nagpatuloy sa pagkain.

"Hmm naku seashe wala naman tinanong si Nia ng nararamdaman mo ang tanong niya lang kung anung feeling,masyado ka namang defensive."singit ni Coralia.

"Will you please stop mentioning that man? Nasisira lang araw ko sa bwisit na yun!"sabi naman niya.

"Okay kung yan ang pinaniniwalaan mo basta kami ni Nia iba ang nakikita."dagdag na pang-asar pa nito.

"By the way we saw his yacht while Cor's and I are busy to get some food for us. Seems like the Cor's spell really work for him. Because they still didn't call a backup to look for us."seryosong pahayag ni Aguania.

Aguania has a strong sense of hearing she can hear a sound even in twenty kilometers afar. Kaya nagtiwala naman siya dito.

"I'm really happy if that's the case. Hindi na pala sila problema." sabi niya.

"Is that all? You dont wanna some little revenge?pakantang tanong ni Cor's.

"I saw a lady preparing some foods in the table,it must be his wife or something and they staying by just the  two of in that water vehicle that Nia  heard them called it yacht. Yeah it's better that we don't we disturb them and let them enjoy their stay in the surface of the ocean."dagdag pa nito.

Sa di malamang kadahilanan ay biglang uminit ang kanyang ulo at bigla siyang lumangoy paalis sa kanyang pwesto

"Let's go, I think it much more fun if we get some revenge."she said in irritated tone.

"If that's what you want my lady."ani Cor's na sinang-ayunan naman ni Nia.

Lumabas na sila ng palasyo at mabilis na lumangoy papunta sa yacht. Nang medyo malapit na sila dito ay nagpasya silang tinigil ng ilang kilometro para hindi sila mapansin.

She raised her hand in the mid-air then whisper a spell to sink the half of the yacht. Balak niyang paglaruan lang ito ngunit hindi nila ito papatayin. Ngunit hindi man lang natinag ang yate na ikinatigil niya. Kaya nilagay niya ang kamay sa tubig at ginagawa ang push and pull motion sa  tubig. Ilang saglit pa ay itinigil niya na ito ng masiyahan siya. Tumalikod na sila at nagbalak umalis ngunit inisip nilang hindi naman sila makikita ng sakay ng yate.

They splashing water to each other and talk about funny things. They are not aware that the yacht is approaching before them. Nang biglang may sumigaw sa di kalayuan.

"Hey ladies do you need help?"tawag sa kanila ng lalaki na parang naging swabe sa pandinig niya ang pagtatanong nito sa kanila kaya di siya nakagalaw agad.

Aguania wave her hand in the water and create a big splashes of water towards the man who's waving at them. Then the her two friends drag her to the bottom of the sea.

But before her friends drag her,she feel a strong  aura from the yacht. Seems like that there is another creature who's watching  them aside from the man they saw a while ago.

" Mukhang kailangan naming mag-imbestiga mamaya sa yateng iyon. "aniya sa sarili habang lumalangoy pabalik sa kanilang pinanggalingan ngunit bago sila makalayo ay tinanaw niya saglit ang lalaki mula tubig ng may panghihinayang na nararamdaman. Agad niya pinalis ang pakiramdam na iyon at nagpatuloy na lumangoy patungo sa kanilang palasyo.
