STUDENTS WITH A MISSION

SWAM 6

"Zelenia, what are you doing?!" nagulat si Zelenia ng marinig ang boses ng kanyang mama na tila galit sa telepono.

"M-Mama..."

"I did not say you should be close to them! I only said, protect them!"

"What are you talking about, Mama? We're not close to those guys." naka kunot nuong wika ni Zelenia.

"Someone told me that someone took a picture of you while the Luna's son hugged you! What the heck?! Why did a Luna hugged you?! Because of that picture, theirs a possibility that they will attack you, Zelenia!!" Zelenia closes her eyes while the cellphone is still in her ear and the other line is still talking.

She stay silent for a while and finally say something before turning her phone off.

GULANTANG mukha ang naka-dikit sa mukha nila Alex at Mara ng maabutan nila si Zel na nagluluto sa kusina. Well, hindi naman nakakagulat yun, yung nakakagulat ay yung makita nila ang babaeng nagluluto habang naka-ngiti!!

"Who the hell are you?!" di mapigilang sigaw ni Mara na ikina lingon ni Zel.

"Goodmorning!" nakangiting bati niya na ikina tumba naman ng dalawa.

"What happen to you two?" nagugulohang tanong ni Zel.

"We're the one who suppost to ask you that, w-what happen to you?" Di maipintang tanong ni Alex. Napailing lang siya at inalok silang kumain na dahil tapos na siyang magluto.

Tumayo ang dalawa at dahan-dahang lumapit sa mesang may nakalapag nang pagkain.

"What's this?" tanong ni Mara pagkaupo nito.

"Ahhmm... Breakfast?" sagot ni Zel ng makalapit sa dalawa.

"She meant the foods. Nakasanayan kasi naming pandesal with eggs lang breakfast namin. At diba yun lang rin kinakain natin bago pumunta sa school?" wika ni Alex.

"Just try it. I work hard preparing it." Zel lied. The truth is walang kahirap-hirap niyang ginawa ito dahil it's just a simple dish. Nagkatinginan ang dalawa at sabay na nagtaas-baba ng balikat.

"Okay then. Ano toh?" tanong ni Mara habang nakaturo sa dish na nasa tapat lang niya.

"It's Coconut turmeric with currants, mango, and hump seeds. I made it just for you." naka-ngiting sagot niya na ikina ngiti ni Mara. She felt flattered.

"And that..." aniya sabay turo sa dish na nakatapat kay Alex. "....is Sweet Sesame Tahini with aprecots, pistachios, and pomegranates. I also made it just for you." naka-ngiting pagpatuloy niya na ikina ngiti rin ni Alex.

"Eh ano naman yan?" tanong ni Mara habang tinuro ang isa pang dish na nakatapat sa bakanting upuan.

"That is Cherry Berry with chia and yugort. It's for me. So bon appetit." sagot niya at umupo na dito.

Naninibago sila kay Zel dahil sa inaasta nito ngayon pero part of them is happy because she cook special for them.

Time has passed and they are already in their classroom.

Napapalingon ang dalawa kay Zel dahil baka may gagawin na naman itong kakaiba.

Napapansin din ng F4 ang palingon-lingon ng dalawa kay Zel na tahimik lang sa upuan at nagbabasa ng libro.

"What's up with them?" Di mapigilang tanong ni Chayce.

"I don't know but I feel something weird about Zel." sagot ni Vash.
