Tale Of Lucy Nakahara

Chapter 44

LUCY

"Where the hell are we?" takang tanong ni Chaerin habang inilibot ang tingin sa buong paligid. I did the same, I examined the strange place.

Nakatayo kami sa isang malawak na grass field. The grass are not green but yellow, the whole place is in yellow tint. Ang sikat ng araw ay kalmado, maaliwalas ang bughaw na kalangitan, malamig ang simoy ng hangin, mga ibong malayang nagsisiliparan habang ang mga huni nilang umaalingaw-ngaw sa buong paligid na nagpapakalma sa buong sistema ko. This is surreal.

The whole field has no end, I can see tress from afar but not the end of the field. I can't see anything but tress, birds, sun, clouds, the blue sky, and the yellow field. The wind blew again. This place is peaceful, calming, and somehow magical. It feels like we are inside in a peaceful yellow field painting.

It's funny how the place is contrasting to what we looked right now. Who looked like who came straight from hell and dug up all the way up here to this surreal place.

"Nasaan tayo beh?"

Napalingon ako kay Chaerin.

"Beh?" ulit ko sa tinawag niya sa'kin. "What the fuck?"

Tumawa siya sa naging reaction ko.

"Narinig ko lang na tinatawag ng mga ibang studyante yung kaibigan nila ng ganoon."

Nakangiwi na akong nakatingin sa kanya.

"Don't call me that." I said full of disgust. Hindi bagay sa kanya, tunong tambay siya sa kanto.

"So nasaan nga tayo?" balik niyang tanong. I turned my gaze back to where we are standing.

"I don't know. The moment I vanished I was thinking of my dorm room."

"You teleported?" takang tanong niya kaya nilingon ko siya.

"Yes. Nagteleport ka rin diba? Baka ikaw nagdala sa'tin dito."

Kumunot ang noo niya.

"Ha? I didn't teleport. Akala ko sinama mo lang ako sa grand exit mo matapos mong magpaalam kila Annya in a most extravaganza-telenobela in a Russian language-grand exit." saad niya na may Russian accent pa sa dulo.

Lalong kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya.

"Beh di kita maintindihan." lumaki ang mata niyang nakatingin sa'kin.

"Beh ako din!"

"Akala ko ikaw nagdala satin dito? Like you meddled my teleportation and brought us here." saad ko.

Kumunot ang noo ni Chaerin, puno ng pag tataka.

"Huuuhhh? Dude I can't teleport rememberrr?" she pointed out, exaggerating the r sound and the 'huh' reaction.

"Eh potangina nasaan tayo? Clearly hindi to dorm room namin."

"Aba malay ko, nasama lang ako sa grand exit mo! Kasi may pa vanish-vanish pa eh pwede namang mag walk out na lang. Taena nasa ibang dimensyon na yata tayo. Grand exit gone wrong!"

What the fuck. Napahilamos ako sa mukha ko. Why do I have to suffer this whirlwind emotions, this fucking sitwuation? Parang kanina lang halos lamunin na ako ng galit at poot kila Annya. Namanhid na ako sa sakit and I can feel all my emotions slipping away aside from hatred and now this? Acting like nothing happened. Looking at Chaerin who's staring at me with unexplained face and her wide eyes open, over reacting like it's the end of the world.

Fuck is this normal? I still haven't recovered from what happened earlier and looks like I have no time to compose all my emotions because we are now fucking lost in the middle of a fucking yellow field!
