Gambit of Hearts: Chasing Black UNO

Chapter 25

Chapter 25

ATTACK after attack. Iyon ang nangyari kina Zean. After that mushroom soup accident, another attack followed for Zean while she's walking towards the court next morning, a heavy object was dropped from the rooftop. Doon mismo sa gusali ng mga atleta.

It was a sack, and inside was a compiled brick. It was heavy enough to render someone incapable. It dropped right at Zean as if its intention was to kill her.

But that didn't work on Zean. She has this cat-like sense. Before the sack could even make contact with her, she was able to shift her body and successfully dodged the attack.

And just like before, hinanap ulit ito ng mga kasama nya. Ina also decided to let the school principal know because of this scary attacks.

Not only that, after Zean, the others were attacked the following day. Aina was locked in one of the lockers in the nursing building which is still under construction. If it wasn't for the tracker that Brook put, they wouldn't be able to find Aina.

And then Kleez. A car tried to hit her at the parking lot. Buti nalang at mabilis syang nahila ni Keave. Or else, she could be at the hospital bed, laying.

The only person that hasn't been touched was Rin. It's been almost a week since the attack for Kleez happened. And that alone made Zean worry even more. Habang umaatake ito, pataas at palala ng palala din ang hakbang nito sa kanila.

The more it attacks, the higher the danger it brings. What bothers Matthew is their reactions. The way they act. They look so unbothered by it. Well, except for Rin, who wants to catch the person behind the mess and just let that person feel her wrath.

"Good morning handsome! Eat up."

Kaagad na gumuhit ang ngiti sa labi ni Matthew, "Good morning mommy." Bumaling ito sa ama at sa kapatid, "Good morning Dad. Morning Kayla."

Matthew sat near her mother's seat and she placed a plate in front of him kaya naman kaagad syang naghain ng makakain. They were talking and eating when his mom looked at him,

"Hey honey, how's Zean?"

Mabilis pa sa alas kwatro na kinuha ng ginang ang isang basong tubig tsaka iyon inabot sa anak na nabilaukan, "Ano ba, anak? Dahan-dahan lang kasi sa paglamon." sabi nito habang hinihimas ang likod ni Matthew.

"Mom! Why do you keep on asking about her?"

"Because I haven't said my thanks to her yet for saving you. " sabi nito. "Me and your Dad was really thankful for her, kasi diba, paano kung hindi ka iniligtas ni Zean? Kaya gusto naming magpasalamat sa kanya ng personal."

Her mother pouted, "Simula noong matapos ang proyekto nyo, hindi na sya bumalik. I was excited pa naman to see her."

His father nodded, "Yeah, and cool too. She's pretty simple. I like it."

Yeah she's pretty. And me too. I like it.

Matthew cleared his throat and slightly pinched his own skin. Ano ba 'tong iniisip ko? He can feel his face heating up kaya naman muli nyang inabot ang isang basong tubig at tsaka iyon ininom.

"Oh my god. Kuya is blushing."

Mabilis na namilog ang dalawang mata ni Matthew at tsaka

"I-I'm n-not!"

"Lying is bad."

"I'm n-not l-lying Dad!"

Gumuhit ang isang pilyong ngiti mula sa labi ng ama nya na para bang nanunudyo ito kaya naman mas lalo pang uminit ang pisngi nya.
