Royal Synergy: Curse of the Queen

Curse Ten: Gates

NASA dalampasigan na kaming dalawa ni Alastair ilang minuto ng paglangoy and I really need to catch my breath. Ilang minuto rin kaming nasa ilalim ng tubig at nagpalangoy langoy.

"We need to move fast." I heard Alastair had spoken out of nowhere. I've also heard the barks of my dog but the man with me made him stop from doing it.

Chizo plunged himself at me and I smiled a bit as he's giving me his warmth. Palibhasa napagalitan kaya sa akin naman nagsusumiksik.

Himas himas ko ang ulo nito at halos mapatalon ako sa aking kinauupuang bato nang sumigaw si Alastair.

"C'mon now, Bella Cieco!"

I just rolled my eyes by his dominance. Am I not allowed to at least make myself calm after his unexpectable stunt?! I almost got myself killed!

Kahit pa inalalayan niya ako sa ilalim ng tubig 'eh hindi ibig sabihin no'n ay okay ako. Sea or even Ocean is a big mass and I couldn't seem to get a hold of it whenever I'm on it. The vibrations from the water are always making me feel scared because of the large mass that I can feel. Para akong laging nasa gitna ng kawalan habang may kung ano sa ilalim ko ang maaaring humablot sa akin pababa.

"Move, Chizo. Follow that arse." Tinapik ko ang aking aso matapos ko itong utusan. Chizo immediately obliged and started to run towards Alastair.

Malalaki ang hakbang ng binata and I can't get a hold of his pacing. Dagdagan pang basang basa ako at sobrang mabato ang nilalakaran. I need to make my pace slower dahil baka madulas naman ako ng wala sa oras.

Hindi ka na nga nakakakita, mababagok ka pa ng wala sa oras. At ang kasama ko naman, nawala yata ang pagiging gentleman at hindi na naisip na mahihirapan akong maka-cope up.

"Faster, Asia!"

"Sandali lang naman!" Sigaw ko rito na may halong iritasyon. "Kaladkalarin kita rito kita nang mabato." Bulong ko.

"What did you say?!" He asked.

"I said, I hope your consideration with my current state is still available in you, just in case you're not aware that I couldn't see anything and the area is not a running field friendly!" I shouted back.

Hindi ko na ito narinig na nagsalita pa but I felt he's running back at me.

Nang makalapit na siya sa akin ay mabilis niya akong itinungo at nagtago kami sa ilalim nang bato.

"They're now here." Anito.

Oo ramdam ko po. Gusto kong isagot pero nanahimik na lamang ako at pinakakiramdaman ang mga goons na nasa malapit lang namin.

Good thing the area where we are right now is composed of large masses of stones. We can't be easily get caught just in case.

Hawak ko ang nguso ni Chizo habang hawak naman ni Alastair ang bibig ko.

Hindi ko naiwasang suminghot at amuyin ang magaspang ngunit malaki nitong kamay. Amoy mandirigma. Masharap! Sakop na sakop nito ang kalahati ng mukha ko kung kaya't hindi ko mapigilang gawin iyon. Aba. Kailangan kong huminga huh.

"What are you doing?" Mahinang bulong sa akin ni Alastair at doon ako natauhan sa aking ginagawa.

Gusto ko siyang sagutin ngunit impit na ungol lang ang lumalabas sa aking bibig.

"What?" He asked and I rolled my eyes with his dumbness.

Kahit pala yummy, tanga rin.

Nakatakip po kasi iyang masharap niyong kamay sa bibig ko. Paano ako magsasalita ng maayos?

I snarled and he asked again the same. Kesa sa umungol ako ng umungol rito, I made a way to put his hand off my lips.
