That Cursed Eyes Of Hers

Kabanata 25

 "So nakita niyo na pala sila? " I heard the same deep voice and felt the same aura. He is here. Their master is here.   Bahagya akong nagulat at napakapit naman sa braso ko si Yanna. Based sa sinabi ni miss Farrah dati, only some peculiars can see the invisible ones. This time I know he can't see us like others, he's using a gadget. Yung parang ganun sa airport. Basta hindi ko alam ang tawag doon.

"Shocked to see me? Oh well, I would like to introduce myself to both of you but it is unlikely and somewhat disrespectful if I won't let you wear clothes first right?" natawa naman siya sa sinabi niya at napatakip kami ni Yanna. Pervert. 

"I will tell you all about them later. Just come to my office after you look decent." tumalikod na siya at lumabas na ng pinto. "Ugh. How come Zyrus and others didn't inform us?" papadyak padyak akong naglakad palabas ng lab kasunod si Yanna. "Maybe they haven't felt his presence." sagot naman ni Yanna. But,how? I felt his suffocating aura even though he's not that near. "Hindi mo ba siya naramdaman?" I asked Yanna at napatigil pa ako sa paglalakad para lingunin siya.

Kumunot ang noo niya at biglang umiling. Kaya naman pala nagulat pa siya nung makita ito. Oh well, nevermind. Nakasalubong na namin sina Zyrus. "Bakit hindi niyo kami sinabihan na papalapit na yung master na yun?" inis na tanong ko sa kanila. "Huh? Sino?" nagtatakang tanong ni Eliana.

"Wala naman kaming nakitang dumaan eh. " sagot ni KD. "Are you sure you didn't saw or felt anything?" Takang tanong ko. "I felt a little strange. Pero mabilis lang yun." Sabi ni Zyrus.

This is weird.

"Balik na nga muna tayo. Magpapalit na kami ni Yanna at pupuntahan natin sa office yung master na yun. Habang naglalakad kami ay nagtanong si Eliana. "Ano nga palang nakita niyo sa loob." Nagkatinginan kami saglit ni Yanna.

"Nakita namin sila dun. Yung ibang peculiars. Madami na silang nakakulong doon at naghahanap pa ata sila ng marami." Sabi ni Yanna. "Parang may ginagawang test sa kanila pero laging nauuwi sa negative. I'm curious about that." Sabi ko naman.

"Eh si miss Farrah ba nakita niyo dun?" Tanong ni KD. Umiling kami pareho ni Yanna. "Maybe we will know the answers kapag nakaharap na natin yung sinasabi niyo." Sabi ni Zyrus at nauna na sa paglalakad. Back to serious mode na naman siya.

Nakarating nga kami ng bahay at kaagad nahpalit ng damit. May sumundo sa aming mga guards at sinamahan kami papunta sa office daw.

"Nandito na tayo." Sabi nung isang guard at binuksan na ang pinto bago nagmamadaling umalis na parang takot na takot. "Come in, kids." Sabi nang nasa loob at sumunod naman kami. The door closed after we entered. I can feel the aura that he has. Dangerous.

"Welcome to my kingdom. I am Cedric Patricio , pleased to finally meet you all." Nakangiting sabi niya sa amin. "I see, all of you are curious. Bakit ko nga ba kayo dito dinala? Well before that, sit first and I will tell you a story." Sabi niya.

Sumunod naman kami at umupo sa couch. Tumayo siya at naglakad lakad. "You wanna know why I took you here? Well before that, I will tell you a story about a special thing called, the core. The core is a magical ball. This magical ball is used to locate the hidden fountain of youth and life. Only one person knows where the core is and also her blood will activate it. We tried combining different types of blood from other peculiars to find the core, but our tests always fail. But..."Tumingin ito sa akin ng may nakakalokong ngiti.

"I heard about the legendary electus. That the new chosen electus, is real and alive. Ngayon ay nakukuha niyo na siguro kung ano ang dahilan kung bakit kayo nandito ngayon?" tanong niya pa. Oh damn this crazy guy. "Kung alam niyo palang lagi nang sasablay ang test niyo, bakit niyo pa pinagpapatuloy?! Why are you still doing it?!" pagalit na sabi ko. "You know why, because we believe in the saying, 'try and try until you succeed.'" at saka siya tumawa ng nakakaloko.
