NAGLALAKAD kami habang patuloy na nag-iiringan ni Heart. Nanatili si Watson sa kanyang library at mukhang wala na namang planong lumabas habang si Spades naman ay naglalakad lang ng tahimik ngunit nakangiti. Maaari’y nasisiyahan sa mga maaanghang na salitang binabato namin ni Heart sa isa’t-isa.
Parang timang!
We walked in a slow pace, hindi alintana ang mga taong naghihintay sa ibaba ng napakahabang hagdan na binababaan namin. “Bakit ako nandito?” I asked out of the blue. Nakalimutan kong itanong ito kanina ng nasa library pa kami kanina.
“ Saan ka nauntog? “ sarkastikong tanong ni Heart, pinipigilan ang pag-ikot ng kanyang mga mata. It was as if the dumbest and most senseless question she has ever heard.
“ Na-Amnesia ka? “ gatong naman ni Spades mula sa kabilang gilid ko. Pareho ko silang tiningnan ng masama kaya sabay silang dalawa na natawa.
Nakakatawa 'yon?
“ Oo! HAHAHAHAHA,” sagot ni Heart gamit ang kanyang isip, aba't may gana pa akong pagtawanan!
“ Ugh the audicity!” Inis na wika ko atsaka, nanahimik nalang bago nagpatiunang maglakad. Ugh mag-kapatid nga silang dalawa!
They’re laughter echoed in many corners of the palace. They didn’t care for anything and I did the same. I became busy by eyeing the interiors of the place. Actually it didn’t change at all, from the chandelier that’s made of stained glass, crystals, diamonds and lights, the biege colored walls that complimented the large wooden frames with the photos of controllers in different generations and the red carpeted staircase with it’s elegant fully furnished wooden railings in two opposite sides. Natigil ako sa paglalakad at pagtingin sa paligid ng biglang may nagsalitang pamilyar na babaeng boses mula sa aking gilid.
“ Signorina,” bigla akong napatingin dito, si Nanny. Nakatayo siya sa gilid ng isang bilogang lamesita na gawa sa kahoy at may hawak-hawak na tray kung saan nakalagay ang mga baso at isang pitsel ng juice.
“ Nanny, tulungan ko na po kayo,” I told her with a smile but it suddenly vanished when I looked at the people whom she’s serving. What the hell! Limang nagagwapuhang kalalakihan ang prenteng nakaupo sa sofa habang ang dalawa’y nakatayo lamang, pare-parehong seryoso na animo’y may hinihintay. Uh yeah right, the Rainbow!
“ Clary, ba’t di mo kami hinintay?” Si Heart. Her eyes are a bit teary for laughing so hard.
“ Whatever, Heart,” I rolled my eyes while Spades is stifling a chuckle.
I gazed everyone when I felt that someone is looking at me. No! I mean everyone’s staring at me. Eh? What’s there problem? Marahil ay napansin iyon ni Spades kaya inilahad niya ang kanyang kaliwang kamay sa harap ng mga kalalakihang narito sa aming harapan.
“These gentlemen’s in front of you are the newest generation of Rainbow Controllers,” aniya, pero tumango lang ako sakanya bago binalingan ng tingin ang mga nasa harapan ko.
“ Halata nga!” I replied sarcastically and he just chuckled. Tiningnan ko lang siya hanggang sa matapos ang kanyang pagtawa. He’s really handsome huh.
“Hey you lady in black care introducing yourself?” Mr. Orange Haired asked, disrespectfully. I glared at him then replied.
