Blood And Tears

Kabanata 5

CELESTE

"Hmm... How do I look?" Shiva stares at the enormous mirror.

"I look like a Goddess, right? A princess is a word to describe my unmistakable beauty. " She's full of herself.

Her narcissistic grin flickers at her fair skin. She put dark red lipstick on her full-sexy lips, a complete eye makeup that emphasizes her large round eyes that suits her narrow little nose.

She had pure Japanese blood, yet; I can't see it runs towards her features. She resembles a living doll too, but she got straight hair, unlike mine, that comes with natural curls.

Shiva tied her hair into a beam, wore a white velvet flounce off-shoulder dress with her favorite black boots.

And a double butterfly necklace flattened into her neck, and it fits perfectly with her long butterfly earrings.

While I'm wearing my plain black shirt, tucks to my denim skirt, pair to my white sneakers and my wavy hair falls off my back and I'm not wearing any makeup except from the facts that I always have my lip balm to keep my lips from dryness.

Humarap sa akin si Shiva, taas ang kilay na humalukipkip at napa-buntonghinga.

"Alam mo hindi ko talaga maintindihan kung pipe ka ba o sadya ka lang walang reaksyon? Wala ka bang gustong sabihin?" mataray niyang tanong.

And my eyes darted to her eyes; it was like a mirror but full of emotions.

She's excited about this day where she keeps babbling about this moment for the whole last week.

"Ano!? Say something! Na-starstruck ka ba kaya wala kang masabi?"

She laughed at her fantasy, and I'm holding my lips tight.

Keep my emotions stable and utterly unpredictable—the best way to save my entire mission alive.

"Ugggghhh! You're odd and stupidly dull. Don't you want to express yourself?" tanong muli ni Shiva at lumakad siya patungo sa lamesa.

Naroon lahat ng gadgets niya and I'm rooting that Drake gets everything we need for this mission.

It's already one week, and Shiva's projected shows will happen at any moment on this day, na dapat ay magawang kontrahin ng grupo nila Hunter.

Nag taas ang tingin si Shiva sa akin at tumuwid ang tayo.

Iniwan ang mga gamit at umi-irap na nag lakad sa direksyon ko.

"Hey! Say something!" pikon niyang sigaw sa akin at hindi siya nakatiis na itulak ang balikat ko.

Hindi ako natumba pero bahagya akong napaatras.

"Ano! Mag salita---"

"Can we normalize this way? Na kung walang sasabihin, huwag na lang kumibo."

"But I want you to tell something! Speak up!" galit na galit na sigaw ni Shiva sa mukha ko at nanlilisik ang bilugan niyang mata.

"Say something about your thoughts!" mariin niyang utos at naka-mulagat ang mga mata.

"Wala akong pake," I said, and she gasped.

"Seriously?" gulat na gulat niyang tanong na agad kong tinugon ko ng tanong at sinundan ng isang pekeng tawa ni Shiva.

"Ha-Ha-Ha! I fucking hate you!" sabay tagis ng mga ngipin niya at tulak sa akin.

And I hate you too!

I hated how you easily fuck up with Hunter, kahit pa sabihin mong planado ang lahat, para siyang isang pakarat na babae.
