Thank you for waiting :)

( iSen POV )

Willford Boarding School?

I've heard this name before.

" Ice "

" I know "

Naaalala ko na. This is the most prestigous school for elites in the philippines. Kahit na wala pang dalawang dekada itong nakatayo ay hindi ito magpapatalo sa mga sikat na universities. This is the school for millionaires and billionaires.

Shit. Dito dapat kami ni Ice mag eenroll. We just don't want to be locked like a prison. Masyadong mahigpit ang security at hindi kami makakalabas kelan man  namin gustuhin.

I just can't believe how fantastic the school is. The white, black , gold theme is amazing. Walang wala binatbat ang school namin at ilang school sa Asia.

More importanly, the walls are high and strong. This is the safest place for us. This school can save us. I smiled when i notice my school mate's reactions. I can see amazement in their eyes. I can also see hope and relief. Hindi ako nagkamali kay Alex at Lyka. They risked their lives so they can share this. I can't express my gratefulness in words. Kulang ang ilang libong salita para ipakita sa kanila ang pagpapasalamat namin.

" Thank you " i said and bowed my head. I am a japanese and this is how we express our gratitude. Kung kailangan kong lumuhod gagawin ko. 

" thank you!!! "

Napatingin ako sa mga kasama ko na ngayon na gaya ko ay naka yuko. Tiningnan ko sila Alex at Lyka na nanlalaki ang mga mata. Nagulat din ang mga taong nanunuod sa likuran nila. Maya maya ay nakarinig ako ng mahihinang pag iyak. Umiiyak habang nakayuko ang babaeng katabi ko. Napatingin din ako sa likod ng sunod sunod silang napaluha, na para bang ngayon lang nila narealize kung nasaan sila.

They are all scared. no, frightened.

Now these people gave hopes to us. They gave us the reason to live again.

" thank you Alex. thank you everyone. " i said with my firm voice. If i didn't , i might cry as well.

Alex and Lyka started walking in front of us. Their smiles are magnetic. Their eyes are giving us comfort and security.

" you are always welcome. You're one of us now. Please take care of us " Alex said.

They both bowed and mirrored us. I heard someone gasped behind me. I smiled at them. They know japanese traditions too huh?

They stared at everyone of us one by one and smiled which made our insides burn. The sun is already out, hot and blinding. But there is no more blinding than the two majestic figures in front of us. The sun rays shines into their faces emphasizing their godly beauty. They wore a different kind of smile,  but both gives the same feeling.

" i know everyone's tired already and some of you didn't eat proper meal these past days. Kumain muna kayo at pagkatapos ay pasasamahan ko kayo sa magiging kwarto nyo. "

Walang salitang tumango kami at sumunod sa kanya. Napansin ko din ang mainit na pagtanggap ng iba sa amin. I can see pity on their faces. Who can blame them? Compared to them who has a safe and clean place, kami naman ay madumi at mabahong kwarto. Their clothes are clean at halatang nakakaligo din sila. Kami? Well, ilang araw na kaming walang ligo. Nag titiis lang sa paminsan minsang pag  hilamos at pag palit ng damit. Karamihan din sa amin ay walang naisalbang damit o gamit. So? They can imagine how shitty we are these past few days.

Halos lahat ng madadaanan namin ay nakakamangha. Every corner is clean na para bang alagang alaga. Nasa zombie apocalypse pa rin ba kami? Everything seems to be normal. We can also see a couple of people doing something inside the room. They seems busy.
