Chapter 10: Stuck With The Devil
|AZAMI|
Nagising ako at kaagad nakita ang puting bubong. I then observed a woman arranging her belongings, clad in a medical gown next to me. It dawned on me that I am on the fourth floor, their so called large medical facility.
Sumandal ako nang maayos dahil sa biglang naisip. The memory of Silver's wound healing is still fresh inside of my mind.
"Kamusta ang pakiramdam?" the woman asked abruptly, sounding like she was just going through the motions without any concern throughout the entire process. Siya pa rin ang babae na gumamot sa akin noon.
"I'm fine, what happened? Bakit buhay pa ako?" tanong ko at bigla siyang natawa.
"25 minutes lang ang laro ninyo. When you got unconscious, the game had fortunately stopped." napataas ang isa kong kilay. Only 25 minutes?
"Was it supposed to end at sunrise?" she snickered and then decided to look at me.
"Darling, it's not always at sunrise. The rules also changes from time to time. Everything is unpredictable here. Hindi mo alam kung kailan na naman magbabago. The game is constantly changing." napatingin ako sa pinto tiyaka napabuntong hininga.
"Who brought me here?" I asked in a relaxed tone, too lazy to even assert my vivid confusion.
"It's none of your business now dear." huminga ako nang malalim at tinanggal ang dextrose sa'kin.
"Then I believe I should go,"
"How can you walk out of here blind?" she taunted, causing me to pause. I completely remembered how my glasses were broken last night, thanks to Silver! That dang devil. It's completely understandable that she knows since I had arrived wearing glasses the last time I came here, revealing she was aware of my impaired vision.
In the end, she checked my eyes, and to my surprise, I received complimentary graded transparent contact lenses. Along with them, she provided eyedroppers and shared instructions on how to self-apply and safely remove them.
"Thanks." pagpapasalamat ko bago lumabas. I never imagined seeing clearer without my glasses, although it didn't necessarily make me more comfortable.
Naglakad ako sa hindi masyadong malaking pasilyo and the whole place really looked like a hospital. Hindi ko pa rin maalis sa isip ko kahit na ikalawang beses na akong nakapunta dito.
Nagpasiya akong pumunta kaagad sa elevator upang bumaba and after waiting for few seconds ay nag-open na rin ito. I was about to get in nang bigla akong nagulat sa taong nandoon sa loob!
Xyruz Devera.
Why on earth must it be him?!
Napakuyom ako ng kamao, arguing with myself if I should get in or what, sa huli ay pinili ko na lamang na pumasok. I have no choice anyways! Leaving would likely confuse him, and he might perceive it as rudeness, potentially leading to immediate consequences. You wouldn't dare to be rude with him!
Pinindot ko ang button sa unang palapag habang nanginginig ang mga kamay, I hope he wouldn't notice that I was shivering and I'm trying my best to calm down. Napatingin ako sa kanya sa aking side vision, ngunit tila wala siyang pakialam na narito ako, parang nakahinga ako nang maluwag.
I never would have thought that Xyruz Devera is casually roaming around the building.
"You looked tense," nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil nakita kong tumingin siya sa'kin even just on my side vision. His oppressive presence feels like it's suffocating my lungs! I saw him smirk.
