Chapter 34: Yuri

WARNING: THIS WILL BE A VERY SHORT UPDATE. AND MAY CONTAIN WRONG GRAMMARS OR TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS FOR I AM NOT ABLE TO RE-READ AND EDIT THIS CHAPTER.

Cloud's POV

"Nananana." I hum as I plush the toilet. Saka ko isinara ang takip nito. Gusto ko pa na magstay sandali dito sa restroom to avoid the akwardness outside. But then when I was about to get my phone from my pocket, I realized that there is something I left. "My chocolate chips!"

Kaya agad akong tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo. Lumabas sa cubicle at malakas itong isinara. Hindi ko napansing nakasara ang pinto palabas ng restroom kaya nauntog pa ako rito.

"Aww." himas-himas ang noo ko ay napagpasyahan ko na maglakad nalang ng dahan dahan. Ni hindi ko kasi maidilat ang kaliwang mata ko dahil sa pagtama nito sa pinto. "Ansakit~~" Mahina kong daing. Balak ko sana sumigaw sa hapdi nito pero napahinto ako ng makita si Liam. Mula saakin ay nakatalikod siya kaharap niya ang isang lalaki. That unknown guy in the game earlier. Bakit sila magkausap? Do they know each other.

I was about to walk towards Liam and invite him go back to oour camping area pero napatigil at napasandal sa pader matapos kong marinig ang usapan nila.

"Come on! Why do you keep avoiding my question? Bakit ka nandito? You shouldn't be seen by her! You shouldn't see each other." I heard Liam frustratedly stated. Mahina ang boses nito pero dahil malapit na ako ay rinig na rinig ko na ang usapan nila. Napalingon ako sa paligid, madilim at walang katao-tao.

"Why not? I've been looking forward to see her for almost decades!" Pabulong na sigaw nung lalaki na hindi ko kakilala. "Both of you Liam and Lian. If there's someone that should be asked is the both of you. Why? Why are you keeping everything from us? Until when are you planniing to keep the truth? What happened to her after all these years? I thought she's enjoying her life here. That's what you said but she doesn't look happy like she use to do!"

I wanna leave. Ayaw ko ng ganitong alalahanin. But at the same time I am curious. Ano bang pinag-uusapan nila? Sino ang pinag-uusapa nila? Bigla kong naalala ang chips ko. Para akong nanonood ng drama where the truth was about to reveal, sayang at naiwan ko ang chips ko.

"We are keeping everything privately Yuri! No one should know the truth. No one must be involved! That's what they thought us. If we really want to be with her we could only keep our eyes open and  our mouth close from everyone so you should understand that! Isa pa we're not in the positionto say it. Kung meron man dapat magsabi it should be her parents."

Napalingon ako dahil sa sinabing iyon ni Liam. Bahagya akong sumilip sa pader. Ganoon parin ang pwesto nila I can only see Liam's back and that strange guy's head.

Yuri.

So that's his name. My mouth left in awe when I saw how his angry expression turns into disappointed and emotional one. He held his chin up high and release a heavy sigh before he cleared his throat. It seems like he's holding himself not to shed a single tear infront of Liam. Even Liam avoid his gaze from the guy infront of him.

"S-so how about us? She left without saying a proper goodbye. We thought she will be leaving for months Liam but it's been years! We missed her! You know how much we miss Athena! You saw how miserable we were. Were also Athena's friend! I have to know! I am her fia--."

"Hold your hands up! And tell us who you are!" Para akong naestatwa sa kinatatayuan ko. After I heard Athena's name, it was as if may kung anong pumitik sa utak ko at napagdesisyon kong lumapit sakanila para ako na mismo ang magtanong sa ano nga bang nagyayari. But after taking few steps, several guys point their guns towards me and told me to raise my hands up. Making Liam look behind his back and stopping Yuri from talking.

"Cloud!" Gulat na sigaw ni Liam na dali-daling tumakbo papalapit saakin.

"Hold your guns down, he's Liam's friend." Maotoridad na utos ni Yuri dahilan para ibaba ng lahat ang mga baril nila at magsi-atras leaving me scared to death. Nanginginig akong napaupo sa sahig ng dahil sa takot.


"DRINK some. I'm sorry for what my guarads did. I instructed them to put their guard alert and I guess they really did a good job. Do you think I reward them Liam?" Yuri said chuckling before he sat down on the bench beside me, handing me a water bottle. Napatulala ako sakanya. I wish I am though as him. Hindi ko man alam ang pinagdadaanan niya, pero sa nasaksihan ko kanina na halos maiyak siya ay nagagawa niya parin ngumiti. Just like Athena. How I wish I am strong as them.

"You should...they really scared Cloud to death hahaha." Pang-aaasar din ni Liam saakin but I remain silent. "Ano ba kasi ginagawa mo at bigla bigla kang sumusulpot sa tabi?" Tanong nito na nagpalingon sakin sakanilang dalawa. Kaliwa't kanan... dahil nasa magkabilang gillid ko sila ay pasalit-salit akong nakatingin sakanilang dalawa.

"I-I got stomach ache in the middle of the game and went to restroom." Panimula ko that made Liam burst into laughter. Napatigil ako at napatitig sakanya. He.. he's good at pretending as if nothing happened. He's good at separating other things from others. Unlike me. These traits of Liam, Yuri and Athena is something I am hoping to have.

When he realized I am not laughing like him. He cleared his throat and look at me as if asking why.

"Are you that scared to what happened?" Liam asked.

"I-I did. But I-- leaving the restroom I accidentally saw you and-- heard everything Liam." That's it! I can't lie anymore! Keeping the dare from Athena is enough!

Lumingon ako kay Liam. Tila hindi siya makapaniwala sa nasabi ko.

"Liam tell me everything and I promise to keep it from other people. Or kahit hindi lahat. Kahit kaunti lang that can explain everything I heard. Sino siya? Paano niya nakilala si Athena?" Matagal bago siya magsalita tila iniisip ang mga hindi dapat at pwedeng sabihin.

"Cloud I want you to meet a friend of mine from Japan he-- he is Yuri... Akachan's..." hindi pa man natatapos ni Liam ang sasabihin niya ay naunahan na siya ni Yuri. Isang salita na tila hindi ko maprocess sa utak ko. No way! Is this real??

Liam's POV

I dont know if this should be right but I have no choice but to tell Cloud the truth about Himeno and Yuri's relationship. Yuri's here for heaven's sake! If I wont tell Cloud the truth he defiinitely will!

Napatingin ako kay Cloud. Tulala itong nakatingin kay Yuri na mukhang nasa malalim ruing pag-iisip.

"N-Nandyan pala kayo!" Napalingon ako sa biglang nagsalita. It was Lian. Hinihingal itong lumapit saamin kaya napakunot ang noo ko.

"Where's Athena?"/ "Where's Himeno?" Sabay naming tanong ni Yuri ng makitang hindi niya ito kasama.

"I-Im sorry but I lost her. Tinapos na nila Dianne yung laro and she got mad at me. Tapos ayun bigla nalang siyang nawala."

"Kuya Zeus must know this. I will call her brothers right now." Mabilis na sabi ni Yuri hindi narin ako kumontra dahil alam kong tama siya.

Una palang... hindi na talaga dapat siyang sumama sa lugar na'to.
