Chain 18

Unanswered question

What the hell Climate! What's with the reaction? And stuttering words? Trembling lips? Are you damn crazy?!

Paulit-ulit kong sinasabi iyan sa aking sarili habang humahakbang ng mabilis palayo sa cell namin. I am harshly biting my lip while thinking what I just said... and did! Seriously? What's with me?

"Oh, Climate! Thank God, you're just on time!" Biglang lumitaw sa harapan ko si Rheum.

I stopped and eyed him angrily. I saw him stunned because of that. I bit my lip more. Damn. Kung hindi pa siya aalis sa harapan ko ngayon ay malamang, sa kanya ko mabunton ang inis ko!

"Hey, what's wrong?" His face changed. His smiling eyes were now puzzledly looking at me. And I regretted it.

"Uhm, just tired, Rheum." Sagot ko.

Bumaba ang tingin niya sa suot kong uniform. "Tired because of school?"

I just nodded. Kumunot lang ang noo ko nang mapansin na may gusto pa siyang sabihin. I arched my eyebrow to wait for him to talk.

"I... I have to fight tonight and I just want to invite you to watch..." Oh! I forgot about that! Sandali siyang natigilan dahil napatingin siya sa likuran ko. Lumingon din ako at bigla na namang umusbong ang galit ko. Zarvick Izra is walking towards us!

"But I understand kung hindi ka makakanood. You should get some rest-"

Mabilis akong humarap kay Rheum at umiling. Nagulat siya at nagtataka akong tiningnan.

"I'll watch. Let's go,"

I didn't dare to look back. I pulled Rheum's left arm when I noticed that he wasn't moving yet. Nanatili ang tingin niya sa harapan kaya't bahagya akong nakasulyap kay Zarvick na papalapit na sa amin. Nagpatianod naman si Rheum at siya na mismo ang humila sa akin nang paakyat kami ng Arena.

I gasped when I saw Rheum landed on the floor. Zarvick immediately grabbed me from Rheum and placed beside him. My God! Why did he do that? He just punched Rheum face! What the hell?

Mabilis na tumayo si Rheum mula sa pagkakatumba. I was about to help him but the damn jerk beside me didn't let me. I glared at him. Halos malaglag ang panga ko nang makitang galit na galit siya. Nagtatagis ang kanyang bagang at madidilim ang mga mata.

"What the fuck is your problem, Izra?!" Napapikit nalang ako nang makitang galit na rin si Rheum.

Umamba siyang susugod kay Zarvick kaya pumagitna na agad ako. Punk shit! Seriously? I'm not the referee here! And if they want to have a fight, go to the octagon ring not here! Damn it!

Iritado kong hinarap si Zarvick habang si Rheum ay natigil sa likuran ko.

"P'wede ba? Huwag dito?!" Sigaw ko. "And for fuck's sake Rheum, you have a fight so you can't be in trouble!" Sumulyap din ako kay Rheum ngunit hinawakan niya ako sa balikat upang umalis sa kanyang harapan.

"I can handle myself, Climate..." Rheum whispered to me.

Naabutan ko ang pagtitig ni Zarvick sa kamay ni Rheum na nasa balikat ko. Muling nagtagis ang kanyang panga at kinuyom ang kanyang kamao. I know! Nagtitimpi nalang siya. Fuck it. Really. Ano ba talagang problema niya? Sumusugod nalang bigla nang ganoon! Mas baliw pa yata siya kaysa sa akin!

"Are you protecting your damn boy, Cliandria?" Halos manlamig ako sa kanyang boses. He's not looking at me because his eyes were looking at Rheum dangerously.

"What, Izra?"

Hinawi ako ni Rheum papunta sa gilid kaya hinayaan ko nalang. Bahala sila kung gusto nilang magpatayan ngayon! I got bigger problems than this!
