Her Eternity

[Chapter 36: Philippines]

*Azraell's Point of View

"Masisira mo na yung game controller, Rye."

"Yes! I beat you!"

"You've got to be kidding me. Halos batuhin mo na yung video game console para lang talunin ako?"

"These two are seriously getting into my nerves."

Hindi ko naman napigilan na mapailing at saka tumawa nang mahina nang marinig yung iritadong boses ni Hue dito sa tabi ko, habang nakaupo kami sa couch ng private jet.

"It's a gamer's life, Hue."I just jokingly shrugged before looking outside by the window. I suddenly felt relaxed as I saw the clouds moving right in front of my eyes. It's actually been 9 hours ago the moment we left Greece, and 3 hours left until we arrive back in the Philippines.

Hindi ko naman magawang matulog ng mahimbing dahil boses nina Axe at Rye ang umaaligid sa tenga ko, bago pa man ako makapikit.

Eventually, I just found myself watching them beat each other in a video game, instead.

"Give them a break."Dagdag ko pa at tinapik ang balikat niya, habang nakatutok naman ang atensyon niya doon sa librong hawak-hawak niya. Hue just simply gave me a blank stare as he heard me said that.

Tumawa nalang din ako ng mahina nang makita ang naging reaksyon niya.

"Hey, look."

Kunot-noo naman akong napalihis ng tingin patungo sa kanila Levi nang marinig ko ang sinabi nila. I almost couldn't help but to raised a brow the moment I saw what or who are they looking at.

"Sa pagkakaalam ko, hindi manika ang binigay nila kay Zace."Vann suddenly scoffed.

Hindi ko naman agad napigilan na mapaismid nang sabay naming makita na yakap-yakap ni Zace yung rose na binigay sa kaniya nila Crimson doon sa Dyad Luxe at halatang ayaw niya talaga ipahawak sa kahit na sino.

Jesus Christ.

"Let him be like that. Alam mong mawawala din yung ganyang side ni Zace kapag nakabalik na tayo ng Pilipinas."

I immediately diverted my attention towards Treck as I heard what he said. Napasandal naman ako sa kinauupuan ko at walang pasintabi na huminga ng malalim.

"You have a point, though."I couldn't help but to agree.

It's about hours left before we finally arrive in the Philippines, and everything will surely be back to normal, just like how it's supposed to be. Besides, it's true what Triton said back there that we just literally called them for a random escapade despite dealing things about Margauxe and Mrs Kan.

You know? Just to have some relaxation and away from being chased down.

Or maybe not, since Zackyro was not participating at first. But gladly, we eventually managed him to joined us before we finally leave the place.

"God knows how he really wanted to confirmed everything about Margauxe and Mrs. Kan."Iling naman na pagkasabi sa akin ni Ulysses at prenteng umupo sa tabi ko.

Eventually, we just found ourselves watching how Zace sleep so soundly beside his sister while yeah, hugging his rose in a glass.

"Well, we'll see what will happen back as we arrived."I suddenly grinned under beneath my breath the moment I heard myself.

See you soon, Philippines.

Agad naman akong naalimpungatan nang makarinig ako ng ilang katok mula sa pinto ng kwarto ko na naging dahilan naman para inis akong mapabangon.

I grunted and sleepily walked towards the door.

"What the hell are you doing here, Ulysses?"Bungad ko sa taong nakasandal pa sa pader at prenteng nag-aayos ng buhok. He immediately grin the moment he saw me looking at him while raising my eyebrow.

Sandali naman akong napatabi nang bigla siyang pumasok sa kwarto ko ng walang pasabi at talaga ba namang humiga pa sa kama ko pagkatapos.

"Magpapatayo na talaga ako ng mansyon para sa ating lahat, nang hindi ka na mambulabog ng taong gusto pang matulog."I bluntly said as I watch him rolled himself on my bed.

You've really got to be kidding me.

We just arrived 5 hours ago, and I badly still need a sleep because of jetlag.

Hindi ko alam kung uminom ba 'to ng isang gallon ng kape at parang hindi man lang makaramdam ng simpleng antok. I saw how he even played games with both Axe and Rye from the jet and didn't had the urge to sleep, at all.

"Why are you here, anyway? Mamaya pa tayo pupunta ng Alum."I gradually said as I throw myself on the couch, since he's still there lying on my bed.

Bumangon naman siya at umupong nakaharap sa akin.

"Patambay."I almost lost my balance the moment I heard his issue. Looking at the time that says 5:30 AM, I eventually glared at him.

"Pakamatay ka na, samahan mo pinsan ko."Narinig ko naman siyang tumawa ng mahina na mas lalong ikinasama ng tingin ko sa kaniya.

"Masyado akong gwapo para mamatay. Alam mo 'yan, Az."Jesus. I irritatedly get up from the couch and raised a brow at him.

"Ako lang ang gwapo sa mundo, Ulysses."I reacted before lying down and close my eyes. Naramdaman ko naman na tuluyan na siyang bumangon sa kama ko at nagmala-window shopping sa loob ng kwarto ko, na naging dahilan naman para mapabangon ulit ako.

"Ulysses, my room is not a mall."

"Do you think they're already on the move?"

Instead of reacting to what I said, Ulysses suddenly sounded so serious that he even got the urge to look at me with his serious eyes as he said that. Dahil sa sinabi niya ay halos nagising ang buong diwa ko at tumayo mula sa couch para sumilip sa labas ng balcony ng kwarto ko.

I somehow tilted my head and clicked my tongue.

"We're already back. So, that means they're back, as well."I blurted out as I open the curtains and revealed how dim the outside is.

Nagkatinginan naman kami ni Ulysses nang marinig niya ang sinabi ko.

"Speaking of back, since you're already wide awake. Let's go!"Nawala naman ang pagkaseryoso ng mukha naming dalawa nang biglang sabihin 'yon ni Ulysses.

I just shook my head in an unbelievably manner, right after hearing what he said and casually approach where the bathroom as I get ready.
