AKEMI-TANTEI HIGH

Chapter Thirty

Pagkalabas namin ng pinto ay sakto namang bumukas din ang main door ng bahay. At nandito na nga sila.

"My goodness Akemi! At last nagising ka din! Alam mo bang ang tagal kitang ginising kanina? And what amazed me most is that kahit na ang himbing ng tulog mo, your mind is still closed very tightly. You're such a monster!"

"Did you really wake me up? "

"Of course! "

"Totoo po iyon Akemi Nee-san. Kasama niya ako kanina habang ginigising ka.."

"See?"
At nagsmirk pa si Akane sa akin.

"Okay, baka nga masyado lang akong napagod sa byahe.. Sorry guys.."
At nag-peace sign pa ako sa kanila.

Nagsimula na kaming magayos ng mga pinamili nila.
Ang mga boys ang nagsalansan ng nga pang-stock habang kami namang mga girls ang nagprepare ng dinner namin.

Gusto daw nila ng Tinola kaya naman iyon ang niluto ko, with the help of Akane and Riye.

Nang matapos ang pagluluto namin ay tulong-tulong na kami sa pagpeprepare ng mesa.

Habang kumakain ay kinukwento nila ang iba't ibang experience nila sa pamimili kanina. I think they really enjoyed the market here. I grew up in this kind of atmosphere kaya naman hindi bago sa akin ang sistema na mayroon dito. Which is quite far different from the place they grew up.

I am happy that they've got this privilege to live as a humdrum once. I'm sure they'll love it.

Nang matapos kaming kumain ay paikot kaming umupo sa living room. Nakalabas ang lahat ng documents na kailangan naming pagaralan dahil bukas na bukas din ay maguumpisa na kami sa mission namin.
Maybe it's too early, but it's better this way since this is our main purpose on coming here.

May ilang oras din naming binasa ang mga dokumento at nagdiscuss ng kaunti tungkol dito. Marahil, dala na din ng pagod ay nakaramdam na sila ng antok.
Nang lingunin namin si Ken ay natutulog na ito sa sulok!

Pero kahit na nakita siya ni Akane ay hindi na din niya ito pinansin. Mukhang low-bat na nga sila.

Nagpaalam na sina Riye at Reiji na matutulog, ganun din si Akane. Ginising naman namin si Ken.

Nang bumangon ito ay dumiretcho na sa kwarto niya. Nagpaalam na din ako kay Hiro na aakyat na.

But he just looked at me without saying any word.

Seryoso ba talaga siya sa sinabi niya kanina?

Dumiretcho na ako sa kwarto ko. Late ko na narealize na may sariling cr itong kwarto na ito. Maybe ganun din ang sa kanila. Kaya naman naisipan ko munang mag-shower since hindi pa naman ako inaantok.

Paglabas ko ng cr, I can feel someone is there.
Hindi naman ako tuluyang makalabas dahil kung may tao nga talaga, it's just my towel that covers my body.
But I can't sense any danger at all.
Parang alam ko na kung sino ito.

'Hiro, what are you doing here?'

'You said you are going to sleep on my room.'

'Are you serious about it?'

'Do you think I'm kidding?'

'But what if they saw us? what if they realize it soon? What are they gonna think of us?'

'We won't do any stupid thing okay. Can you just please trust me for this once?'

'O-okay.. But please leave my room now because I'm going to put my clothes on.'

Bigla naman akong kinabahan dahil hindi siya sumagot.

And to my surprised, bigla siyang lumitaw sa harap ko habang nakangiti ng nakakaloko.

Muntik na akong mapasigaw, buti nalang at napigilan ko pa ang sarili ko.

'What the hell are you doing?!'

'Why?'

'Get out of my room now!'

'Okay-okay. But promise me first that you will go into my room.'

'Okay Mr.Alejandrino, I'm going to your room. So now, get out!'

At tumalikod siya sa akin habang nakangiti.

'I think I want to capture this one.'

'Hmmp! Pervert!'

'Do you want me to be one?'

'Get out now!'

Doon ko pa lang narinig na sumara ang pinto ng kwarto ko. Saka pa lang din ako nakahinga ng maluwag.

Okay. I 'm really doing it now.

Nagbihis na ako. I wore a big sized shirt and a pajamas.

Honestly, kinakabahan ako. I wished hindi ito malaman nila Akane dahil hindi kami titigilan ng mga iyon.

Maingat kong binuksan ang pintuan ng kwarto niya.

Why am I doing this silly thing?

And there he is.

Smiling infront of me.

"Where am I going to sleep? "

"I'm so sorry to put you up into this situation Akemi."

"And why are we doing this anyways?"

"Listen.. This room was made to block brain wave signals and sixth senses from the outside. Just like what we had on Tantei High. You supposedly have chosen this room, but you've chosen the last one. Dad instructed our teachers to build this room just for you. "

"But why?"

"Akemi we both know that those Shinigamis are studying about erytian eyes. They somewhat believed that our six senses has something to do with our eyes. And yours triggered them to do it once because they believe that there is something on you which makes you the strongest erytian. Not just an erytian, but a Shinigami as well. "

"So you mean, I'm going to stay here for one year? "

"Absolutely."

"No, I mean, with you?"

"Ow, I forgot to tell you. Ibinilin ka ni dad sa akin. He said that I am not allowed to leave you. So that means I had his permission to be with you in one room."

"Whatever.." Then I rolled my eyes.

"Let's sleep now."

"How about them? Do they know about this?"

"Yep. Dad talked to us before we leave the campus. "

"But why didn't he bother to tell me about it?"

"Because he knew you are too stubborn to follow that."

"If I'm too stubborn to follow that then I'm supposedly not here."

"Perhaps you want it too."
Sabay kindat sa akin.

Seriusly, gusto ko siyang batukan sa mga oras na ito.

At buti na lang at si Papa ang may pakana nito. Dahil kung si Hiro lang ang may gusto nito, I'm really about to convinced myself that he is a pervert.

"Don't you ever think that stupid thing about me, or else I will show you what a real pervert is."

"Okay, sabe ko nga, shut up na ako eh."
