Descendants of the Gods

Chapter 26: Normality

KASDEYA ARGYROS' Point of View

Hinayaan na ako ni Hurricane nang mapansin niyang nakatulog na nga si Shirra habang nakatayo. She leaves to take the girl to her room kaya napagpasyahan kong maglibot sa dorm namin.

From now on, this is where I'll be staying.

Dinala ako ng aking paa sa kusina. A black, glossy marble kitchen island stands at the very center. It shares the same design with the rest of the interior which is mostly black in color.

I examine the kitchen and realize that almost every kitchenware is available, pero bakit parang hindi ginagamit?

Siguro kumakain lang sila sa Campus Plaza at Pavilion. Even the pans and utensils look untouched. Imposibleng hindi ito madudumihan kung ginagamit nila.

Binuksan ko ang refrigerator at pantry. Puro inumin, ready-to-eat foods, at mga finger foods lang ang makikitang laman. There's no sign of cooking ingredients, fruits, or vegetables. I sigh.

It's confirmed. Hindi nga sila nagluluto.

I close the cabinet I last looked into before leaving the kitchen. I don't bother going to the dining room kahit na parang isa lang sila ng kusina. Alam ko nang hindi nila pinapuntahan yun.

Sa tabi ng dining room ang banyo. It isn't big, sakto lang. Wala ngalang shower or bathtub. Maybe the rooms have their own bathrooms and mayroon lang banyo rito para hindi na umakyat pag nasa first floor?

Pinasadahan ko nalang ng tingin ang lounge at training room.

The lounge is cozy. It has the same black theme as the kitchen and dining room. May fireplace sa ibaba ng flat screen tv na may katabing matatangkad ng bookshelves sa magkabilang gilid.

At the very center is a glass coffee table surrounded by black couches. Sa ilalim, nakalatag ang isang puting fur carpet.

The training room on the other hand is bare and can be seen from outside because of the glass walls. Nothing looks interesting other than the weapons lined up in one corner, but it's not like I haven't seen an arsenal.

My feet takes me towards the back. Pinagmasdan ko ang labas mula sa floor to ceiling glass windows. I press my palm against the glass while staring out at the scenery.

The Acropolis looks even more majestic from above. The combination of sunlight beaming down on the golden skyscrapers creates a rainbow glow bouncing off each tower.

Nahigit ko ang aking hininga. Although I really hate how bright and fancy and ancient the university is, I still can't help but stare in awe.

After all, I have to admit that it's beautiful. Hindi lang ako sanay sa architectural design. Ibang iba siya sa lugar na nakilala ko.

I thought that it would take me some time to get adjusted. But do I really want to? Do I want to be here long enough to get used to all this?

Gusto kong bumalik sa normal. Hindi yung ito ang magiging normal ko.

Tinanggal ko ang aking palad mula sa salamin. The cold feeling of the smooth surface leaves my touch when I back away to approach the stairs.

Pumanik ako sa second floor. Sabi sa akin ni Hurricane bago sila umalis ay ang pinakamalapit na pinto raw sa hagdanan ay ang bedroom ko.

Dumiretso ako sa aking kwarto at tiningnan ang itsura nito.

The floors and walls are the exact same colors as the entire penthouse. White polished floors and dark-colored wood surrounds me. Sa kanan makikita ang kama. It is a canopy bed with posts made out of statues and black drapes surrounding the top frame. Kulay puti ang matress at unan samantalang ang comforter naman ay itim.
