REALM

It's been almost a week since that dream of mine. Hindi ko pa rin alam kung ano meaning ng code at hindi pa rin naman ako nanaginip uli.

Is this thing real? Baka naman mamaya may nagpaprank lang sa akin or what. Baka mamaya pinagtitripan na naman ako ni Trick.

"Hey, don't think to much. Pumapanget ka eh" napalingon ako bigla kay Kiel.

It's Saturday at nandito silang dalawa ni Sphere para makikain na naman. Saktong napadalaw din si Sorry kaya parang kumpleto ang buong gang.

"So are you saying that I'm not ugly when I'm not stress?" I tease him.

"Of course not! Ang ganda mo kaya" parang uod na kinilig naman si Sphere at Sorry.

"Luh, landi" biro ni Sorry.

"Aba, natuto ka na boi" dagdag naman ni Sphere at parang namula naman si Kiel. Napailing iling naman ako. Mga kalokohan nga naman nila.

"I guess I solve the first sentence" napatingin kaming tatlo bigla kay Hassium dahil sa sinabi nito.

Nasa may lamesa siya sa kusina kaya nagpunta kami sa kaniya. She's staring at the code or riddle that was given to me.

"Ano?"

"The best way to hide a tree. Sa tingin mo? Saan nga ba?" she ask the three of us. Why people don't like being straight to the point?

"Ewan ko. Matatago ba ang puno? Ano yon? Bubuhatin?" tanong ni Sphere at napabuntong hininga naman si Hassium.

"It's in the forest! Think of it, madaming puno sa kagubatan kaya hindi mo alam kung ano ang tinutukoy na puno. Just imagine finding a specific oak tree at a forest, sa tingin mo ba mahahanap yun agad?" napa-ohh naman kaming 3, except from Sphere.

"Yeah! Ang galing!" ani Sorry habang pumapalakpak.

"So the location is forest?" ask Kiel.

"Probably"

"Pero saan doon? Sabi mo nga, sa dami ng puno roon mahirap maghanap ng specific na puno. And, ano ba talaga hinahanap natin? Tao? O puno?" I ask but Hassium look irritated.

"I don't know! You're the one who dream about it!"

"And you're the one who wants to find it!" I rebut. I didn't know that I can shout at her.

The three of our friend look so shock. Sino ba namang hindi magugulat eh first time namin magsigawan?

"Oh, so you're being selfish now?" napa-crossed arm pang tanong nito. Naoabuntong hininga naman ako at saka kumalma.

"It's not like that, Hass. Ang sa akin lang naman, ikaw na nga magsabi ng mahina maghanap ng certain puno sa gubat. I'm not saying na puno ang hinahanap natin but what if hindi nga puno? Mas dobleng hirap diba?" I try to explain calmly. I know why she's to desperate to solve that riddle.

"I'm not siding on anyone but I think Realm is right, Hass. We want to help you but we don't know what are we looking for" sabat ni Kiel at napabuntong hininga naman si Hass.

"Fine. But I'm sure, once I'm there I can determine what we are finding. Kung kay Freak nga galing toh, sure na sure akong malalaman ko yun" I can't help but to feel sad. Hassium really loves her.
