Chapter 10.6 - Pains of Being Chained

Ito na yung hinihintay mo. ^_^

Back at the maze… (^///^)

KRIZHIA’s POV… (>.<)

The sound of the bell signaled the end of our little adventure inside the maze. Things have been awkward since that little accident. Well, I wouldn’t call it little since he has been too close for me to have any personal space. I swear, pag nalaman ko kung sinong nag-design nung maze na yung na naging dahilan para… para… *groans*. Ipapa-paslang ko yun kay Uncle Joe. (+_+)

After maka-alis nung mga taong nagmamadali kaninang umalis, there was dead silence between the two of us. I was still dumbstruck from what happened and how I ended up with my forehead leaning on Shibata’s chest. My breathing caught in my throat. And I can, weirdly, hear Shibata’s ragged breathing.

Kung hindi pa siguro nag-side comment yung old couple na napadaan samen na ang cute daw namen at ang over-protective daw ni Shibata sa girlfriend nya, pertaining to me, saka pa lang nya ko binitawan nang dahandahan, as if he’s reluctant to let me go.

Aish! Yah! I must be going nuts! He’s just trying to make a move on you, get a grip! I castigated myself. Eh kasi, kung anu-anong nonsense  ang iniisip!

Nung fully na kaming ma-untangle sa isa’t-isa, we looked at opposite sides then naglakad na ulit kami. Since the space was tight, hindi maiwasan na may makakasalubong kami na ibang tao – yung iba tumatakbo pa, kaya napipilitan kaming madikit sa isa’t-isa from time to time.

“Aish.” I cursed at myself, but then, I don’t know if it was me or did I just hear him say the same thing. But then, I must be hearing things.

Kagaya nung sinabi nya na “It’s no fun if you don’t get lost”, well ayun. Nangyari nga. We got lost, dahil hindi kami makapag-decide ng ayos kung san pupunta at liliko. Pero nung bigla kaming napabalik sa Entrance nung maze, halos mapa-OTL na ko dun. Imagine, having someone handcuffed to you and there had been so many events wherein you both end up being awkward with one another, now you’re lost inside a bloody maze?

Pero sa halip na magsalita pa kami, I just shook my head while he smacked his forehead. Nung second try namen, thank God! we made it out. We rang the bell and went down back to the Entrance.

I looked at my watched and saw that it had already been 45 minutes since we entered the maze. OTL talaga! Haha. Absentmindedly I chuckled slightly then shook my head.

“What?” he asked as he looked at me.

“Nothing.” I grinned. “We’ve been inside that crazy maze for 45 minutes ‘coz we’ve gone around in circles.”

“It’s a maze. People are supposed to get lost.” Sagot nya saken.

“Whatever.” I rolled my eyes at him. “Tara, kain tayo. Gutom na ko.” Tas siniko ko sya gami yung kaliwang siko ko.

“Which restaurant?”

Restaurant?! Seryoso ba sya? O.o?! Nakalimutan ko nga palang anak mayaman ‘to. Tss.

“Anong restaurant? Hindi ka na ba nananawa sa restaurant food?” tanong ko sa kanya as I made a face.

“Never will.” He shrugged.

“Yah~ Daebak!” sabi ko. “Kain tayo ng street foods, mas mabubusog pa tayo. At least dun, pagkain ang binabayaran mo, hindi yung atmosphere at kubyertos tsaka plato.” Sabi ko tas tinaas taas ko pa yung kilay ko. I started walking, but this guy doesn’t even budge.
