Dos
Nang umalis na sina Zen ay agad naman naming pinagtuonan ng pansin ang mga naiwan.
"All in all, you're 30 students.." sabi ko habang napapatango.
30 students, well we've got lots of rooms here. Pero baka tama nga si Lolo, we need to help them get along. This is the first step.
"We have 15 vacant rooms, and you'll be sharing it with your classmates." Ibinigay naman sa akin ni Uno ang class record at inabot sa akin ni Tres ang mga papel.
"As I said earlier, we'll play a game." Nakita kong interesado sila.
"It's treasure hunting, but you're not hunting for a treasure, instead you'll hunt for your room's number. If you fail to find a room number till 6pm, you'll have no choice but to sleep outside." pagbibigay ko sa kanila ng instruction.
Sorry guys, napag-utusan lang.

"It's treasure hunting, but you're not hunting for a treasure, instead you'll hunt for your room's number. If you fail to find a room number till 6pm, you'll have no choice but to sleep outside." para naman kaming binuhusan ng malamig na tubig sa sinabi ni Dos.
Seriously? Ano ba itong pinasok namin? Nandito lang naman ako dahil gustong sumama ni Andrew. Nako naman.
"Whaaaaaa! Malamig sa labaaaas!" pagrereklamo ni Andrew.
"Kaya nga kailangan niyong maghanap ng numbers. Kung sino ang may kaparehang numero sila ang maghahati sa isang kwarto." Tiningnan niya ang kanyang orasan.
"Meron dito sa loob ng bahay. Sa likod ng bahay. Sa harap ng bahay." What the fuck?! Is that even a clue?
"Nandito lang 1st floor, you should go now, time is ticking. You don't wanna sleep outside."They're ruthless!
Agad ko namang tiningnan ang sofa at binaliktad lahat ng unan, tiningnan ang ilalim ng lamesa ngunit wala rin.
Pumunta naman akong kusina at naghanap dito,
I opened all the cabinets but I didn't see any papers yet. Are we really looking for papers?
Wala naman silang sinabi kung saan nila nilagay ang numero ah! But if you are a normal person of course you'll think na sa papel nila nilagay. But knowing Cleo a little bit, they're not normal!
May nakita akong plato sa may plate rack na may printa at nag-iisa lamang ito. Kaya't agad ko itong kinuha at tiningnan kung ano ang nakalagay
"13." is this it? Or maybe it's just a design? But there's no harm on trying right? Agad akong tumakbo papunta kina Dos na naka-upo lang sa may hagdanan habang ang iba ay naghahanap.
Nang tumigil ako sa kanilang harapan ay tiningnan nila ako. Inabot ko ang platong may numero.
Kinuha naman iyon ni Uno.
