Malakas naman na natawa si Min. Napatigil nang maramdaman niyang may mga nakatingin sa kaniya. "Ops, did I do something bad? They're all looking at us," she murmured.
Napailing naman ako habang nakangiti. "It's better to go to our room, right? Sa tingin ko nandoon na sina William."
Right, since we've been in the lost island for a whole year, it makes us a returnee. Since our section's verdant was missing, they choose to wait for us. Hindi sila nag-advance ng isang year. Ngayon, lahat kami third year. Come to think of it, Marvin should be graduating student but since he's with us at the lost island, he did not meet the requirements to graduate.
Well, I don't have to worry about that since the government included Marvin to those who will get a special diploma.
Habang naglalakad kaming tatlo sa hallway ay ramdam na ramdam namin ang intense na tingin nila sa amin. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung may nagawa ba kaming masama or what.
I also know that they're talking about something but somehow, we couldn't hear it or am I the only one who couldn't hear them? Is there something wrong with my ear?
Bigla naman akong kinabahan sa naisip ko. I was about to freak out when Min asked me about it.
"They're talking about us, right? However, I couldn't hear them," ngumunguso na sabi niya.
Palihim naman ako na nakahinga nang maluwag. Akala ko naman ako lang ang hindi nakakarinig.
"Don't think about it." Tumingin naman ako sa likuran ni Henry. Naglalakad kasi siya at sa tabi niya si Yana, sa likuran naman kami ni Min. "If there's something we don't know, we'll know about it later."
He's right, there's no other choice but to wait for it. Wala naman atang may balak kumausap sa amin ngayon.
When we arrived in front of our room, Henry immediately opened the door. All of the sudden, a surprise yell came.
"S-A-V-E save! L-O-V-E love! P-R-O-T-E-C-T protect! Save! Love! Protect! Verdant Ellipse, go! Go! Go!"
And boom! Confetti came.
I couldn't talk; I was lost of words, speechless. I look around and saw all the familiar faces in front of me, a faces who came and ready at our disposal. They're the one behind our success, our reinforcement.
"Walang iyakan, Kesia!" sigaw ng isang lalaki.
Sinamaan ko nama nang tingin si Lukas. "Pakyu ka, Lukas! Panira ka talaga!" sigaw ko pabalik.
Humalakhak naman ang lahat sa sinabi ko. There's a lot of things we talks about since marami kaming pag-uusapan. Dumating na rin ang ibang verdant at gaya nga nang ginawa nila sa amin, nag-yell din sila. Natawa pa nga ako sa itsura nina Jullia, Kass at mark.
"Hear me out, guys!" Henry said as soon as he stood up.
Naglakad siya sa mini-stage sa harapan at kaagad naman na bumaling sa kaniya ang atensyon ng lahat. I think alam ko na ang pag-uusapan namin.
Naalala ko tuloy 'yung pinag-usapan namin bago kami umalis ng hotel.
"The chaos was over," Henry stated and both Yana and I nodded our head in approval. "I think we can finally fill the empty seats at the Verdant Ellipse," he added.
Napatigil naman ako. Right, we did not let anyone to be in the seat since it was far too dangerous that time. However, now that everything is finally settled, that everything is finally come to its end, I guess there's no reason for us to keep the three seats vacant.
"I agree." Marahas naman na napatingin sa akin si Yana na nakakunot pa ang noo. "It's time to fill up the vacant seat. Kaya lang naman natin hindi na dinagdagan ay dahil sa pagiging delikado nito. Now that everything is over, I think they have the rights to be on the seat."
