010: Private Department II
---
I know Ms. Quin is the type to be serious about instructions. But I just couldn't help myself to think about what's going on in that hotel. Do they conduct meetings there for the Juniors and Seniors? They are sons and daughters of mafias, is where they train them how to be in a realistic mafia meeting? I have various theories coming on in my head.
After I am assured myself that Ms. Quin is gone, I sneaked my way out of the dorms. Mabuti na lang walang gaanong tao sa labas. In fact, iniiwasan ko kung mayroon man akong makakasalubong.
Tinakbo ko ang daan na sa tingin ko ay magdadala sa akin sa PDB. Dahil ako ay isang dakilang hindi physically fit, kinailangan kong huminga't magpahinga sandali. Hindi ko inaasahan na mas malayo pa pala sa inaakala ko ang distansya ng hotel mula sa iba pang department. Napasandal ako sa isang puno. Panandalian akong nag-iipon ng lakas nang makarinig ako ng mga yapak. Agad akong nagkubli sa likod ng mga halaman.
Nag-uusap sila. Hindi ko din marinig kung ano ang topic nila. Sisilipin ko lang naman kung malapit o malayo sila mula sa kinaluluguran ko pero nahagip ng mata ko ang pamilyar na lalaki. Si Valence. Naka-poker face lang ito habang nagsasalita. Papalapit sila ng papalapit kaya't medyo nadidinig ko na kung ano'ng pinag-uusapan nila.
"You're kidding, right? It's not been a day since President Alkippe announce her as his goddaughter and yet you're telling me she became your fiancee? Are you damn serious?"
I'm pretty sure they're talking about me. Given that Valence is there.
"You can't shut your mouth for a while, do you?" Valence sound irritated.
There were three of them walking at the same phase. The serious one and seemed to be a little higher in centimeters compare to the two arranged his glasses with his forefinger. He's annoyed more than anyone of them but doesn't speak.
Meanwhile the noisy one is really at it. "Anyways, you won't choose Akio to be your best man, am I right?"
"Shut it, Cain," Valence is really pissed now.
I couldn't hear what they're talking about next after they passed from where I am. Valence is really an asshole even with his friends. I'm definitely not marrying that guy. And he's a mafia's son. A boss', to make it worse. Sinundan ko lang ang daan kung saan dumaan ang tatlo. Nakarating ako sa gusto kong paroonan. Hinintay ko muna na makapasok sila bago ako. Hindi pa din sumasably ang VU na pamanghain ako. The front desk is huge as hell. Elegant, extravagant and sparkling clean.
I approached the receptionist. "Hi, what does this hotel offer, miss...?"
Ngumiti ang napagkagandang emplayada. She's so gorgeous I bet she has a lot of courters. "You may call me Deena, milady."
"Oh, you don't need to call me Milady. Uhm... Judy is fine," sabi ko na may kasama pang pa-tango-tango.
"Miss Judy? You mean, Judea Roberts?" Deena's composure is still in tact but I saw slight twitching on her smile. "I'm sorry, milady. But we are prohibited to be close to any of the students here. But I could be of assistance to you. May I ask what you're looking for?"
"Uhm..." Paano ba 'to. Hindi ko naman pwedeng sabihin na gusto ko lang mag-check in para mapagmasdan iyong paligid?
Napansin niya ang pagdadalawang-isip ko. "If you're looking for Milord Ferrari, I can hand Milady Roberts his floor and room number with the spare key. Forgive me for speaking your first name. What insolence of mine," yumuko ito.
Nakaramdam ako ng hiya. "Ah, hindi nakailangan iyan, Deena. I'll take the floor and the key, please." Kailangan ko nang makalayo dito. Bukod sa nakakahiya ang pormal na paggalang na ibinibigay niya, may mga nagsisidatingan na ding ibang estudyante.
"Right away, milday." Pagkaabot agad sa akin ng card key na may nakaimprenta nang floor at room number in gold lettering tumakbo na agad ako para sa elevator. Kinakabahan ako. Nandito lang ako sa hotel to see what it's like. Hindi ko nais na may makasabay na anak ng sindikato't ma-issue pa. Tama na ang whole Tsuyoki and Ferrari thing. Baka paghati-hatian nila ang katawan ko kapag hindi sila nagkasundo-sundo sa pagpapatayan. Hindi naman sa mahaba ang buhok ko o lumalaki ang ulo ko. I'm preparing myself for the worst case scenario.
*ding*
Oh my damnation. Huminto ang elevator sa second floor. Meaning may sasakay. Lagot. Kasasabi ko lang eh!
"Roberts?"
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. Oh, just great. Really great. If it isn't Kami's older brother. "H-hi?" I said all awkward.
He just chuckled and went in. "Going up?"
"Y-yeah..." I wanna go back ╥﹏╥...
"What are you doing here?" he asks so casually.
I tried my best not to make eye contact. "Just... looking."

Kai aka Kazuya, saw what Judy's holding behind her back. He conludes it's something to do with the person he hates so much. Valence must be waiting for her up floors. The thought made him want to stir up some competition. "Hey, what's that in your ear?"
"Ha, what?" She was alarmed that something is stuck in her ear so she tried reaching it.
But before she could touch it, he raised up both his hands to her neck. "Lemme check."
"What, wait--"
He lowered his head to hers.
"Eh, hey..." Her face is totally flushed red. All the more he wanted to tease her. She placed her palms above the back of his hand to actually try to remove them from holding her.
"Kami's right about choosing you," he murmured as he looked into her round eyes. His gazed went down her lips. They were beautiful for a commoner like her. A goddaughter to Nicholas Alkippe.
Just when he was about to seriously lower his face to hers, the elevator opened. His expectation is that someone would gossip such view to Valence. But he didn't expect it to be more fun. Because it was Valence himself, in flesh, saw how clearly close he is to kissing the woman he claims his bride-to-be.
"Kazuya, you bastard!"
