Ghost Detective! (COMPLETED)

Chapter 50

Maya-maya lang narinig kong bumuntong-hininga si K na para nang sumusuko at napilitang tumango. Ganun din sila Kamil and Gello. "All's well, guys?" I asked, once again.

"Yeah, as if may magagawa ako." K said. "And sorry for the terms just now." She added. I laughed at her, kaya tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. Yan si K, mataray. Kaya nga hindi umuubra si Gello sa girlfriend niya eh. And probably, that's one of her charms and she charmed her way to my cousin's  womanizing heart.

"Alam na ba nila Mami ito, si... Leira?" Natigilan ako panandalian sa tanong ni Kamil, hindi dahil kila Mami, kundi kay Leira. Alam na nila Mami ang balak kong pagbalik sa PSA at alam na rin ito ni Leira. Naalala ko lang yung twin niya, si Laira. Alam kong hindi ko sila maiiwasan ni Rodney dahil iisang academy kaming pinapasukan. We will meet and that's it. Wala akong gagawin. Wala lang.

Walang wala na. "Alam nila, Kamil. Matagal ko nang sinabi ito sa kanila, especially kay Leira. Katulad niyo, nag-aalala rin siya sa pagpasok ko ulit doon pero suportado niya pa rin ako." I explained.

Matagal na katahimikan na naman ang namayani, bago ko binasag ito sa pagtayo ko at paglalakad papunta sa pintuan at pinihit ito pabukas at palabas na, pero huminto muna ako.

"Maglalakad-lakad muna ako sa labas.. go on with your practice band."

"Gusto mo samahan kita?" Pagprisinta ni Pran. "Bawal tumanggi. Princess' orders." She grinned as she said that.

"Princess' orders my ass, Pran. Lets go." And then we walked together outside PCA.

PRAN

Hello, everybody. I am called Pran Celeste, the owner of this school, ayon sa pangalan ko diba? So that's it. I was lonely and alone before I met Kai or Kayla, Gello, K, Lindonne, Heyenne and Kamil. Gustong-gusto kong magkaroon ng mga kaibigan noon pero puro
'Orocan' ang mga nakikilala ko, until I met them. They were like sisters and a brother to me and I will not let them get hurt or cry kundi makakatikim sila ng kamandag ng isang Pran.

Nasa labas na kami ng PCA pero wala pa ring nagsasalita kahit isa sa amin. Kayla is thinking deeply about something, alam na alam ko kahit na ilang buwan palang naman nung nakilala ko sila pero kilalang-kilala ko na sila, siya, kapag may iniisip na malalim at kung may problema. I'm quite observant.

"You are thinking about Pacific Scott, or has something to do with it, aren't you?" I asked. She looked at me with those eyes and I really hate to see that eyes.. its like it has no life. And when I see the reason behind Kai's burden I will strangle her or him to death. I'm not kidding.

Nginitian niya ako pero hindi ako maloloko ng ngiting iyan. Never. "Hindi naman. Alam ko at ine-expect ko na ang mga makikita ko doon. I'm ready to face them, again."

"You really sure you're ready?"

"Hm-mm."

"Liar."

Tiningnan ko siyang mabuti at nung iniwas niya ang paningin niya, alam kong tama ako ng hinala.. na nagsisinungaling siya nung sinabi niyang 'okay at ready' na siya. Tiningnan ko ang paligid at na-realized kong nasa isang parke kami na malapit sa PCA, may malapit na bench kaya umupo muna kami doon.

"I know you when you are lying or not, alam ko iyon, Kai. Gusto ko lang itanong."

"What is it?"

"Why do you really want to go back there?"

"Do you want to know the real reason?" I nodded. She inhaled deep and long, like she needs air the most because its difficult to breathe. "Gusto ko ulit makita si Rodney.. he's the guy that I loved, and the reason why I'm hurting pero hindi ko pinahahalata dahil iyon ang sabi ng isip ko.. na labanan ko ang sakit by making myself cold and distant and he brought back my trust issues. Kaya nahihirapan akong magtiwala."
