Bunch of MENDOZAs

Chapter 19

Xyzzy's POV

"How are you?" Malambing na tanong ni Zaine sa 'kin at kinuha ang basang bimpo.

"Ahm, okay na 'ko. Paano 'ko nakarating dito?" Tanong ko at umayos ng upo.

"Brile brought you home." Rain answered.

"I saw him before I went unconscious. Tinakpan kasi nila ng panyo na may ibang amoy yung ilong ko. How is he? Sino'ng kasama niyang tumulong sa 'kin? Apat yung lalake kanina at ang lalaki nila." Nag-aalala kong sabi.

"The guards said Brile did it himself, saka lang kayo nakita ng guards nang nakahandusay na sila." Breii answered.

Bakit parang may kakaiba sa expressions ng mukha niya?

"How's Brile?" I asked.

"Ang dami niyang sugat ate. But he's upstairs. Taking a shower maybe." Zahir answered.

Maririnig nga ang tunog ng shower.

"Nagamot na ba?" Tanong ko.

"As much as possible ayaw niyang may gumagamot ng sugat niya." Breii answered again.

"Are you hungry?" Zaine asked and stared at me.

"I'm a bit-"

"Ate ako gutom na gutom pero lasang lason luto ni kuya!" Sabat ni Raven na parang maiiyak na sa inis.

"Tang ina ka pasalamat ka nalang nagluto pa 'ko." Rain answered.

I smiled. "Pasensya na hindi ko pa yata kayang mag luto. Magpa-deliver nalang tayo okay lang?"

"Okay!" Masayang sabi ni Raven at kinuha ang phone sa bag ko at iniabot sa 'kin.

I unlocked the phone and gave it back to him. "Kayo na ni Zahir ang bahala."

Agad namang tumayo ang dalawa at nagpunta sa labas.

"What was the handkerchief smelled like?"

I looked at Aki and frowned. "Ahm, actually hindi siya mabango. Para siyang amoy ng halaman na nakakahilo."

He smiled. "The most popular scent for kidnappers."

"Ha?" I just asked.

"He's the reason why you're awake." Rain said. "Knowing that it can make you sleep for hours."

"How'd you do it?" I asked Aki but he just blankly stared. "Thank you Aki."

"My pleasure." He just said.

"I'm gonna check Brile." Breii said and stood up.

"I'm gonna bring those back there." Aki said too picking up Baygon and Lyson?

Rain sat in front of me beside Zaine and smiled. "I know you noticed that Breii's not in the mood."

I nodded. "And it's the first. Lagi siyang masayahin."
