The people gathered around in one corner, their shouts and cheers filled the whole place. Scylla took a glance at one table that served as a focal point of entertainment, she released a sigh and just rested her cheek on her knuckles.
“It looks like they were having fun.”
Her eyes diverted where it was looking and found Achlys standing a few inches away from her seat while holding two mugs of coffee.
“Why don't you join?” Zacharius suggested before sipping on his cup.
Tapos na silang lahat maghapunan, nakapag-linis na rin sila ng kaniya-kaniyang sarili at naayos ang mga gamit sa inupahan nilang mga kwarto.
Achlys didn't answered and just sat with them. Nilagay nito ang isang tasa sa harapan ni Scylla na tahimik namang tinanggap ang kaniyang inabot.
“Putangina, ayusin mo Eli! D'yan nakasalaylay kinabukasan natin!” Kahit sa gitna ng mga ingay ay namumutawi pa rin ang malakas na boses ni Dawn na ngayon ay nasa likod ni Elijah at inaalog ang balikat nito.
“Gago, kaka-alog mo sa'kin matatalo talaga tayo dito!” Elijah exclaimed and glared at Dawn who took a few steps away from him while surrendering his hands in the air.
Elijah pulled his sleeves and cracked his head to the sides before fixing the stance of his arms on the table. It's his fifth game and so far, no one has been able to beat him.
“Ready yourselves in the count of three!” Saad ng nagsisilbing referee saka mwinestra pa ang kamay sa gitna. Ngumisi naman si Elijah saka nag-aangas na tumingin sa kalaban niya na ngayon ay pinukulan lang siya ng masasamang titig.
“1... 2... 3... Go!”
“Why am I even here in the first place?” Oceana muttered as she watched the two wrestled their arms at each other in front of her.
Hindi niya alam kung ano ang eksaktong nangyari ngunit natagpuan niya na lang ang sarili niya na hatak-hatak ni Dawn at Elijah papunta sa lamesang ito na pinapalibutan ng mga maskuladong lalaki.
The two morons told everyone that they will join the game and I was their sponsor! It was already too late when I realized what position I was in.
Kitang-kita ang naiinis na mukha ni Oceana sa pwesto kung saan nakaupo sila Scylla, nakabusangot ito habang hawak-hawak ang pera na kanina pa nila napapanalunan.
Zacharius stifled a laugh at the sight, he was busy entertaining himself by watching his friends over there when his eyes landed on the two who were sitting with him on the table and were too occupied with their own world.
He can't clearly hear what Achlys was saying to Scylla but it looks like they were casually talking.
“Whoaaa!”
Nabalik sa harapan ang kaniyang atensyon nang magkaroon ng mas lalong maingay na sigawan roon, Elijah won again and it's his 5th streaks.
The crowd began to chant Elijah's name, it was a quite messy sight. Lahat ay bakas ang pagka-engganyo sa kanilang mga mukha. Tumayo sa pagkakaupo si Elijah saka itinaas ang kaniyang mga braso sa ere na mas lalo pang nag pa-ingay sa paligid.
