Breaking The Chains (COMPLETED)

Chain 20 - Far from him

Chain 20

Far from him

Oh darn! I'm late!

I jumped out of my bed and hurriedly went to the bathroom. Hindi ko namalayan ang oras! Sandali lang akong naligo at nagsuot na agad ng uniform. Paglabas ko ng bathroom ay naabutan kong gising na si Kendall. I'm dying my hair while curiously looking at her. Napag-usapan na namin na hindi pa siya pwedeng pumasok ngayon. Mayroon pa siyang benda sa kanyang braso at ilang araw bago alisin ang sabi ng doctor.

"Why are you up to this early?" I asked her.

Hindi agad ako nakatulog kagabi. Nabanggit niya ang nangyari kahapon nang maabutan ko sila dito ni Zarvick. I tried to avoid the topic but she really pushed it. Hindi niya ako tinigilan.

"I was just shocked. I am spacing out that time and I thought I entered the wrong cell that's why I said that," iyan ang palusot ko na sa tingin ko ay bumenta naman sa kanya.

After a long while, she murmured something to herself but I was able to hear it.

"This could be good,"

"What, Kendall?" I heard it but I don't get it so that's useless.

She looked at me and smiled. "Nothing. I just want to tell you that I'm always here to support you and make you happy..."

I don't know what she's saying. She's out of the topic. And I find it weird. I'm not slow but I don't get it, or... I just don't want to understand it? Magdamag ko iyon inisip. Tulog na si Kendall at ako ay magdamag na dilat. Sumagi pa sa isip ko ang hindi pagpunta sa laban ni Rheum. I made my promise broke. I don't mind though, promises were made for lying. Kaya ngayon ay late na akong nagising. It's already seven in the morning!

"I prepared you a breakfast," she answered.

Doon ko lang napansin na may pagkain na sa mesa. Bakit hindi ko agad iyon nakita kanina?

"You didn't notice that I'm cooking. Nagmamadali ka," ngumisi siya.

"And you didn't wake me up?" I rolled my eyes at her.

"Coz' I know you're tired yesterday. And I want you absent today but you won't agree so I decided to cook you your favorite," at nilapag niya ang scrambled egg with creamy mushroom sa mesa.

Nakaramdam agad ako ng gutom at agad nilantakan iyon. I'm damn hungry and I forgot to eat my dinner last night. Thank God I have her in my life!

Pagkatapos ay nagpaalam na ako sa kanya. Nagmamadali akong lumabas ng dungeon ngunit napahinto ako nang may babaeng humarang sa dinaraanan ko. Nakatungo at halatang kinakabahan. I narrowed my eyes while looking at her.

"A-Ah... M-Miss Climate..." Nauutal na sabi ng babae.

I remembered her. She's the new kid here in the dungeon. Siya ang nagsabi kahapon sa akin na magsisimula na ang laban ni Rheum saka nagmamadaling umalis.

"What?" Nagmamadali kong sabi. Gusto ko sanang maging kalmado dahil nakakaawa siya pero kailangan ko ng umalis.

"G-Gusto ko lang po sanang magpatulong sa inyo," she said without looking at me.

Kumunot ang noo ko at napairap. Hindi naman siya nakatingin pero alam kong alam niyang naiinis na ko. Oh darn. Get out of my way now kid!

"About what? Just tell me, kid." Mataman kong sinabi.

Pinagtitinginan kami ng mga fighters sa paligid. Oh yeah, me, Climate, shouting this new kid. Bad.

"Arcellie, I told you, huwag na." May lumapit sa kanya na isang ding babaeng fighter, pero ang isang ito ay matagal na rito. "I'm sorry po, ate Climate," dagdag nito.
