Offered Conviction from the Past (Justice Series #2)

CHAPTER 6

JS2: ZARI'S POV

"Okay! For our game to today, called Tier Race you need to look for a partner, itatali niyo ang parehong paa sa isa't isa at iconnect ito sa gulong."
Kio announced.

"There will be 1st and 2nd Winner guys, the first winner will be arrange on a villa date and the 2nd winner will win the bonfire date. So, whoever will win goodluck to you guys!" Deon said.

"Zari girl, sali tayo.."nakangiting anyaya sakin ni Ashley.

"Hindi na kayo nalang.."I said.

"Hayst, you need to join. Look oh, si Aimi the ex nilalapitan na si Kaden,"

Tinuro niya ang gawi nina Kaden at Aimi habang may sinasabi si Aimi kay Kaden ay nakalingalinga ito sa paligid na animo'y may hinahanap.

I shook my head again and show him a short smile."Dito nalang ako,"

"Sumali kana, hinahanap kana nya oh." sabi ni Ashley at hinila ako patayo."Guys, sasali kami ni Zari!" sigaw niya sa kanila at naghiyawan naman ang mga boys.

Wala na akong nagawa kundi sumama sakanya papunta roon. Nagkatinginan kami ni Kaden at ngumiti siya sakin, akmang lalapit na sana nang humarang si Faust sa harap ko, may malaking ngiti sa labi.

"Hey, partner tayo?"he suggested.

Tiningnan ko pa ulit ang gawi nina Kaden at Aimi at nakitang tinatali na nila ang mga paa sa isa't isa.

Ashely pinch my hand."Go girl,"she whispered and wave a hand before she left and go to find a partner herself.

"Ah sige ba."ani ko at mabilis naman na inabot sakin ni Faust ang tie.

I heard him murmured a YES before we proceed to what shall we doing.

I show a half smile to those who also join that are watching us tying the tie together.

"We have here 5 players, Ashley and Deon on the first slot, Rezva and Atticus on the second slot, Aerie and Drake on the third slot, Zari and Faust on the fourth and lastly, our greatest ex couple Aimi and Kaden. Please get ready players.."

Faust is focus in front while I accidentally took a glance on Kaden and Aimi beside us, unexpectedly Kaden is looking at my direction too.
Nagkatinginan kami at bumaba ang tingin niya sa kamay kong nakakapit kay Faust, naputol lang ang titigan naming yun nang magsalita ulit ang MC ng laro which is Kio and Yael as Deon's sub.

"Okay players, ready..get set..and go!"

Faust and I drag the tier together, we put all of our strengths to it. Ini-enjoy ko lang ang laro at hindi alam kung bakit gusto ni Faust manalo. The others that stand as audiences scream our names, cheering for us.

"Kaden at Aimi ang nangunguna! Humabol kayo guys!!"ani Yael at sumigaw sigaw rin katulad ng iba.

I then look at them once again just to saw Aimi holding Kaden's arm firmly while Kaden's hands is on Aimi's shoulder. Gusto niya bang manalo sila?  Natauhan lang ako nang maramdaman ang mainit na kamay ni Faust na pinagsiklop ang kamay naming dalawa.

He smiled sweetly."Holding hands means feeling the connection of each other, we have a chance to win.."he told me.

I nodded."Yeah right, let's get it."

Our hold to each other tightened while dragging the tier with us bravely.

"Humabol si Faust at Zari! Sino kaya ang mananalo?" Kio excitedly uttered.

Faust and I become more firm when we almost reach the finish line, we were smiling to each other when I saw Kaden and Aimi getting more close to each other and it was too late to win when I saw them high five and laugh.
