Mysterious Palace (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 10

They were just sitting on the couch and no one dared to make a noise. May kanya-kanyang pinagkakaabalahan ang lahat habang si Zeya at Cheska ay naroon lang nakaupo sa dalawang magkatabi na single couch. Cyan tried to suppress a smile and trying to divert his gaze from Cheska's death glares.

“Ayan kasi, nagpapadilig hindi naman pala kaya.” pagpaparinig ni Sheila sa kanila.

“Ayan kasi, sobrang bitter tagtuyot na ba?” Nagtawanan silang lahat ng barahin ni Zeya si Sheila.

"Gago! Namamasa rin 'to minsan." walang kwentang sagot ni Sheila na mas lalong ikinahagalpak nila.

Binato pa ni Angela si Sheila ng nadampot nitong tsinelas. "Bunganga mo pasmado."

Tiningnan ni Cheska ang tatlo na natutulog sa magkatabing sofa. It must be a trauma for them that it made them shiver in fear. She was curious to take a peek, too, but she can’t. She glared at the man who’s the reason why she can't walk properly.

“What is it this time, hon?” mas lalong sumama ang tingin nya dito na kinatahimik ng binata.

Good!

Ayaw niya marinig ang boses nito. Lumipat ang tingin niya kay Sheila na nakikipagkulitan kay Isabel at Esperanza.

“Girls” kaagad na napatingin ang mga babae sa kanya. “You'll accompany Shantel on the west wing of the palace, while Shaina and the boys will go to the east wing.”turo nito sa mga lalaki na tumango lang sa kanya. Kaagad namang tumalima ang lahat at naghanda ng kanya-kanyang bibitbitin na maaring magamit oras na magkagipitan.

Ang hirap pa naman dahil kahit multo kaya parin pala makipagbardagulan.

Sa dami ng nangyayari dito sa kanila parang natural na lang na inaasahan nilang ano mang oras ay may mga magaganap na hindi maganda.

She glanced at Cyan and the latter winked at her making their friends tease the both of them. "And you," she said and Cyan pointed himself, "you'll go with them." Utos nya rito.

“Why me?" He whinned.

Cheska raised her brows, "Bakit ikaw? We both know that you've been staying here for almost....what years? 2, 5 or maybe a decade, so, bakit hindi ikaw when you already know the entry and exit of this shitty place!" Cheska said calmly.

Shaina laughed making everyone look at her direction. She's leaning beside the window while puffing her cigarette.

"That's enough, Cheska. I know Cyan will accompany us! Right, Cyan?" She asked playfully.

He smirked at her and looked at Cheska who's silently watching him, "ayokong sumama!” he pouted.

Cheska rolled her eyes. Yes he’s cute—cute like a puppy! Tiningnan niya ng malamig ang binata na unti-unting umamo ang mukha at bumuntong hininga. Agad itong sumunod sa mga kasamahan ng magsialisan ang lahat. Nakita nya pang tamad na tamad itong umakyat ng hagdan paitaas.

Nagpaiwan si Slate para bantayan ang limang babaeng naiwan. Habang sabay naman na umalis si Romelette at Knight. Kung saan pupunta? Ayaw nya ng alamin pa!

“I'm going to kill that fucktard!” she hissed making Slate laughed.

"Looks like you're slowly getting affected, young miss." Slate tease.

She shook her head, "not gonna happen."

Naghihikab si Shantel habang naglalakad kasama ang mga kaibigan. May band aid ang kanyang leeg kung nasaan ang hickey niya. Bwiset parin sya sa lalaki t'wing naaalala nya ang ginawa sa kanya ng asungot na  si Dhave.
