The Cursed Eye [Available on Dreame]

🔯-XLVI-🔯

Nandito kami ngayon sa isang malawak na kwarto maraming libro ang nakapatong sa book shelf at may dalawang upuan at isang mesa lang. Hindi ko na sya hinintay pang paupuin ako dahil umupo na ko kaagad sa isang upuan.

May kinuha sya sa isang shelf at bumalik na dala nya na ang isang chess board napangisi naman ako. I love his idea.

"I know you like it. Kahit na di ako ganun kagaling sige maglalaro tayo para hindi naman sobrang seryoso ng usapan natin" I didnt answer him and he sat in front of me "Hindi ka ba talaga palasalita?"

"Pag nagsalita ako masasaktan ka lang" walang gana kong sabi.

"Pano mo nasabi?"

"Tanong mo sa chess board baka sumagot" napangiwi naman sya sa sinabi ko.

Tsk parang timang di man lang makaintindi yung totoo? Hari ba talaga sya?

"So where should we start?" Pag oopen nya sa topic habang inaayos namin ang piece ng chess.

"About what you said earlier" sabi ko at tiningnan sya nang matapos kong ayusin ang pieces ko. "Is that true?"

Since I am using the white piece I'm going to start this. I move my 2.c4 to exchange to his black pawn. As I expect he does what I think.

"Yes. It is true. May mga picture akong ipapakita sa inyo bukas kung hindi ka pa rin naniniwala" sagot nya sakin and I am think about my next move again.

I use an orthodox defence mukha kasing nakita na nya ang gagawin ko and he smirk when he realize that I also notice what he's thinking.

"Pictures? What pictures?" And then he move again his pieces. This time I continue what I did. I still using my defense until I can make it a hole.

"Pictures of your great granddather and my great grandmother and your grandmother and my father."

I use the the Chigorin Defense takes the game away from the normal positional channels of the Queen Gambit Defense.

"I didn't know that you know how to place Queen of Gambits" I rolled my eyes.

"Checkmate" sabi ko at napabuntong hininga naman sya.

"Okay tama na tigil na." Sabi nya at tumingin ako sa kanya "What is the real reason behind this?" Tanong nya.

"About your people"

"My people?"

"Yes. May nakapunta na ba sa mundo namin sa mga tao mo?"

Sandali naman sya napatigil na tila nag iisip kung meron ba o wala at agad din naman syang tumingin sakin at sumagot.

"Bukod sa tauhan ko na pinadala ko doon para kunin si Acacia wala nang iba. Alam ko kasing may balak gawin ang elders sa kanya."

"May balak?" Takang tanong ko "So hindi mo alagad ang mga monster na sumusugod sa amin doon?"

"Sumusugod? Wala akong balak na magtalaga ng digmaan sa pagitan ng mundo natin. Isa pa anong mapapala ko di ba?"

He had a point. Hindi naman na nya kailangan ang mundo namin dahil meron na rin naman syang sariling mundo na pinamumunuan nya. Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at pinakita sa kanya ang isang picture ng monster.

"This is the monster who nonstopingly attacking my villages." Kumunot naman ang noo nya. "This is the face of the Denim in our place."

"This is a denim?" He laugh "Too ugly for my people. Ang mga tao dito sa mundong to na-"

"Nangingitim lang kapag nawawalan ng kontrol" may pagtataka nya akong tiningnan "Nakaencounter kami kanina and I think mali ang ginawa ko"

"Bakit?"

"I purified him. Hindi ko lang alam kung macocontrol nya na ang demn na meron sya"

Demn is what they called to their power while Taika naman ang sa amin.

"Its okay." Tapos umayos sya ng upo nya "About that its obviously a laboratory experiment" I nod.

"I get what I need" sabi ko at tumayo na.

"About the Elders" tiningnan ko naman sya "I know their plan"

"I also know"

"No you dont" kumunot naman ang noo ko at bumuntong hininga saka umupo.

Nakakairita tong lalaking to ah hindi na lang ako deretsuhin kung ano ano pa sinasabi.

"Then?" Bored kong tanong.

"They are trying to make something that can fight you. Everyone know how strong you are and how wise you are and they are planning to drag you down. You are on their way"

"I already know that" kalmado kong sabi.

But the fact is I dont. Hindi lang ako nagpahalata sa kanya na hindi ko alam dahil baka mamaya akalain nyang manhid ako though alam ko na may binabalak ang elders na masama.

"Kaya ko kinuha si Acacia dahil gagamitin nila ang dugo nya para makagawa ng isang halimaw na kayang tumapat sa iyo at hindi pa rin nila alam na buhay ang kapatid nyong lalaki kaya naman walang problema doon"

"Dugo ni ate?"

"Oo ang mga dugo ng kapatid mo ang panlaban sayo"

"What the hell?"

Nabalot kami sa katahimikan and I dont want to break it. I remain silent. My sister and brother's blood is the only one who can fight me? How does it happened?

"How?" Tanong ko at saka sya ngumiti.

"Dahil may lahi kayong Denim its hard for the three of you to take down. We all know that Denim are more powerful than the normal taika holder." I nod "That is the reason why"

Kinuha nya ang white and black piece of king and queen at hinagis nya sakin ang dalawang queen.

"Its you both" taka ko syang tiningnan "You are not just a Queen of Taikanious world but also a Queen of this world. Also the elder will kill the current lord of your clan and you are next to their target."

"Huh?"

Wait a minute what the hell is he talking about?

"I know its hard for you to understand but thats the fact. Bukas may ipapakita at ipapabasa ako but now you need to rest"

Wala sa sarili akong lumabas ng kwarto at nakita ko si ate at Meilin na papunta dito lumapit naman sya sakin.

"What happened?" Tanong ni ate sakin at umiling naman ako.

Dumeretso lang ako sa paglalakad at parang zombie lang na naglalakad.

"May sinabi ba sya sayo? May ginawa ba sya sayo?"

"Masyado kang madada Meilin tumahimik ka" sabi ko at napatigil naman sila.
