Chapter 10
1–7 AM.
WALKING BUBBLY is what weird thing I had never been done. We’re now on the way to the supposed restaurant we will dine yesterday. Secrets to be unveiled, aye?
But one thing is indeed sure about this om—whatever their name is, they are gossipers! Tss!
Omeaniscient, home of chismoso’t chismosa.
I sneered.
After the scene a while ago, we ate before continuing to our direction. We can perhaps go home already but these latter chooses not. It’s been a while raw since they solved a case and this is an opportunity to shine.
“It’s odd. I’m aware it rained but that was at dawn and perhaps the smell we can inhale is a part of chemical language between bacteria and animals but why—” Aoi didn’t finish her words when the three dude ahead at her.
“Petrichor,” they said in unison kaya papalit-palit ang tingin ni Aoi sa kanila.
Napailing na lang ako at pumunta kay Tyron na busy kakakalikot sa telepono ko. Tss!
I smiled widely at him kaya tumingin ito sa akin bago bumuntong hininga. He put my phone on his pocket and was about to go down when I jumped at his back. Partida, mas matangkad siya sa akin. Napahagikgik ako nang itaas ako nito dahil hindi saktong lumanding ako sa likod niya.
Unfair! He’s taller than me yet I’m older than him!
Malaki ang ngiti ko habang nakasabit ang mga kamay ko sa leeg nito. Ang mga kamay naman nito ay nasa hita ko, sinusuportahan iyon.
Nabaling ako nang tingin sa tatlo na nasa likod namin, nakahinto. I’m with them 24 hours and I haven’t seen them taking drugs but why... their actions seems they are high? Tss!
“Lace isn’t heavy, erp?” wala sa sariling tanong ni Aoi at naglakad papalapit sa amin.
“Why don’t you try it?” instead of answering her, Ron questioned back.
“If Lace is not heavy, I am heavy. Baka matumba lang tayo, orb,” aniya. Tila isa itong inosenteng batang pinapangaralanan.
“I didn’t say I will lift you. I said, try lifting Lacey and see how weighty she is,” Tyron savaged Aoi kaya napatawa ako. This man really knows how to make someone mad.
Napahinto kami sa paglalakad when an unpleasant odor welcomed us. Nagpatuloy na kami and finally! The one we’ve been searching.
A while ago, after that incident, they said sorry and para sa kapalit, sinabi kong ituro nila ang daan patungo sa hinahanap namin. Afterwards, Aoi was about to open the topic about what occurred but I stopped her. I do not want to hear that again.
It feels like an abandoned place. A horror house. The birds humming are the one who give life at this place. It was foggy.
“Creepy,” I heard Aoi mumbled and I agreed.
“Look! Aren’t the blurry words says, Net’s Cuisine?” napahinto kami sa paglakad at tinignan ang tinuturo ni Ryo. And he’s right. It says, Net’s Cuisine. If this cuisine already faded, bakit may mga sign pa rin niya? It should be removed. It can mislead people lalo na iyong mga nagugutom.
Nagulantang kami when a rust thing echoed in our ears. It’s seems like it was opening.
Opening...
The door!
Napababa kaagad ako sa pagkaka-akap kay Tyron at sinikap tumingin sa bahay na nasa harap namin. Katabi kasi nito ay iyong restaurant.
