Kinakabahan talaga ako sa mangyayare mamaya kasi si Bada at Kali nagkakainitan pa din hanggang ngayon. Pwede na akong magpole dance sa dalawang to -- AH! JOKE LANG maling humor Naomi 🙈
Sinabihan ko na sila na magbehave later sana naman totohanin nila.
Malapit na din mag-uwian at napag-usapan namin nila Audrey and Latrice na isurprise si Kirsten sa condo nya din mismo.
Audrey has a spare key to it and syempre ayaw naman naming mahassle ang birthday girl kaya dun nalang.
Nagdahilan nalang sila na may pinapagawa sa kanila yung prof namin at pumunta na dun para mag-asikaso, kami naman ni Kali ang taga distract kay Kirsten at sinasama lang sya kung san namin gusto pumunta para di hanapin sila Audrey.
"Naubos mo ba yung 100k?" Tanong ni Kali kay Kirsten habang kumakain kami sa cafeteria. Nabulunan naman si Kirst dahil natawa sya sa tanong ni Kali saka nagwave ng kamay saying No.
"Gusto mo ba magpablow out ako dito sa cafeteria? Hahaha that was too much Kali pero thank you I appreciate the gift" sagot ni Kirst after nyang mapakalma yung sarili nya.
Ngumisi naman si Kali at tumango nalang pero nawala din yung happy face nya nung may tumabi samin, si Bada.
"Di na makakabalik sila Audrey, madaming pinagawa si Mrs. Cruz sa kanila" sabi nito giving me a clue na ok na yung set-up.
"Kirsten hatid ka na namin sa condo mo later! Sasabay ka daw ni Miss Brynn haha" sabi ko at napapalakpak naman sya dahil she admires Bada at kinikilig-kilig pa sya.
"I did not bring my car--" sasabihin palang sana ni Bada pero nilabas ni Kali yung car keys nya at inabot dito.
"Hiramin mo muna sakin Prof, magcocommute nalang kami ni Naomi" sabi ni Kali na nakangiti na ulit.
"Why magcocommute, kasya naman tayo dun apat lang tayo" suggestion ni Kirsten, oo nga naman bat ba magcocommute.
Aalis na sana kami kaso dumating sila Haechi, Gayoung and Eunji, bakit andito sila???!
"Huy Bads san ba venue?" Bungad ni Haechi, makakapatay ako ng demonyo ngayong araw napakadaldal naman! Nakita naman ni Kali na parang naiinis na ako na nakangiwi dahil hindi nga dapat malaman yung surprise.
"Venue? Ay may session ba kayo nila Miss Brynn ngayon? Ayan sakto palabas na yan sabay na kayo sa sasakyan nya" pagtulak ni Kali sa kanila, nagtataka tuloy si Kirsten sino ba tong mga tao na to, demonyo pala.
Ay ewan! Sumunod naman silang tatlo samin sa parking lot at sinabi ko kay Kirsten na ituro nalang kay Bada yung way papunta sa condo nya.
Buti nalang naligtas ni Kali, sabi ko act normal pero umpisa palang parang mabibisto na kami dahil sa mga to.
Pagkaalis nila ay kumaway lang kami ni Kali and went to the bakery nearby real quick para umorder ng isa pang cake for Kirsten. Malapit lang naman dito yung condo ni Kirsten, siguro mga after 10 minutes andun na yun sila.
Kami naman, well Kali can teleport or make the time freeze so makakaabot daw kami dun I just have to trust her.
Sana naman nakaakyat na sila, sinabihan ko na din si Kali na pumunta na kami dun kaya hinila nya ako sa isang eskinita and checked the surrounding kung may tao ba.
"Are you ready? Brace yourself ha" tanong nya sakin. Bakit magbabrace yourself pa?
Nagulat ako nung niyakap nya ako ng mahigpit and it felt like we entered into a dark realm ng mabilis lang pero ramdam ko yung impact ng hangin as if we traveled really fast.
Napapikit tuloy ako. Next thing I knew may naririnig na akong kumakanta ng happy birthday sa paligid.
Nasa condo na kami ni Kirsten? 'Happy Birthday Kirsteeeen, surprise!' rinig kong sigaw nila Audrey. Andito na nga kami sa condo pero hindi pa ako nakamulat kaya naman I have no clue kung san kami.
Nakayakap pa din ako ng mahigpit kay Kali dahil sa biglaan naming pagtravel pero tinapik nya din ako para umalis na sa pagkakayakap. Pagtingin ko sa paligid namin, ANAK KA NAMAN NG ---
Narealize din ni Kali na bat kami dito napadpad kaya nagheart heart nalang sya sa tapat ko 😭 Akala ko pa naman matino na syang nilalang pero isa din pala sya! Pano kami lalabas nito? Anong idadahilan namin kila Kirsten?
"Bakit dito Kali?! Di tayo pwedeng lumabas galing dito!"
Pabulong kong sabi sa kanya, inangat nya naman yung dalawa nyang kamay na parang sinasabi nyang malay ko. 'Thank you guys sa surprise, asan na sila Naomi? Baka napano na yun' rinig kong tanong ni Kirsten sa labas. Ano ba yaaan ang hirap naman nito.
Nakahawak na ako sa magkabilang sintido ko while thinking what kind of excuse should we make nung may pumihit ng pinto ng CR ni Kirsten.
Tatakbo palang sana ako para pigilan pero huli na, nakapasok na si Bada sa loob, hindi naman sya mukhang nagulat pero she look pissed nung nakita nya si Kali na parelax-relax lang.
"Guys Naomi is here" ako yung nagulat nung sinabi nya sa labas na andito kami. Ano ba namang trip yan Bada! 😩 Sumilip tuloy yung mga kaibigan ko saka pumasok sa loob ng CR.
"Kanina pa kayo dito? Bat di kayo lumabas para sa surprise, di namin alam nauna pala kayo" takang sabi ni Latrice sa amin. Napakamot nalang ako sa ulo dahil di ko alam isasagot ko.
"It's okay! What matters is andito kayo, tara na let's eat! Ang dami nyong prinepare na food ha I never knew Miss Brynn has good friends ang saya nila kasama" sabi ni Kirsten habang hinihila ako palabas. Nagsunudan nalang sila Kali at Bada sa amin.
"Hahahahaha" rinig kong tawanan nila Bada at Haechi, wow this is the first time I see her laugh ha. Si Kali kasi jolly mode lang kaya nakikita ko na lagi nakangiti, si Bada naman laging seryoso so seeing her laugh tonight made my heart warm.
Warm??? Ang .... cute nya tumawa.
Staph! Di dapat gumaganyan sa demonyo. Tumalikod na ako at nag-ayos ng mga empty platters habang busy pa sila na kumakain, yung birthday girl ang daming chika tinawag pa sila Gayoung para makinig.
I was always the 'mother' of the group kaya mas gusto ko na nagliligpit dito kesa sumali sa kanila.
Kukunin ko na sana yung box ng cake na nakakalat when a pair of hands topped mine, pagtingin ko si Bada pala.
"Let me help you" offer nya sakin habang nakatingin. Pinabayaan ko naman sya saka inalis yung kamay ko na napatungan nya.
"Sige palagay nalang dun sa may trash bin, hugas lang ako ng utensils" sabi ko nalang sa kanya at sinunod naman nya agad. Naghuhugas na ako sa sink ng mga nagamit na serving spoon when she went near me again, dikit na dikit pa nga.
"I'll rinse the soaped ones for you" sabi nya ulit saka inagaw yung mga nasa kamay ko.
"Thank you" mahina kong sagot sa kanya habang nag-aabot ng mga nasabunan ko nang sandok.
"No biggie, naghuhugas lang tayo dito" seryoso nyang sagot kaya natawa nalang ako. We're like this at my house too pag nilulutuan nya ako, ako nag-iinsist na maghugas. She frowned when I laughed at her kaya naman tumigil na ako.
"What I meant is thank you for bringing joy to Kirsten, she looks happy with the surprise nga" pagpapaliwanag ko sa kanya, nilapit nya yung mukha nya sakin and lowered her head para magkalevel kami.
"I did it because you requested it, so you're welcome" sagot nito sabay wisik ng tubig sa mukha ko.
Gagantihan ko sana sya ng wisik pero naramdaman ko namang nanahimik na yung mga nasa likod namin at parang nakatingin sila, paglingon ko nakatingin nga!
"Ayieeee yung dalawa bati na ulit" pang-aasar ni Audrey. Nakatingin lang sila Haechi, Gayoung and Eunji na walang clue why Audrey reacted that way, and Kali is just eating.
Napasigaw naman ako when the plates on the sink fell on the floor at isa-isang nabasag. Bada looked at Kali with an angry face.
"Okay lang kayo? Wag muna kayo gumalaw baka mabubog kayo" Kirsten said in a worried tone, tumakbo naman agad sila Audrey para kumuha ng walis and dustpan so we can clean this up.
Agad naming winalis lahat ng nabasag na plato and while we were busy, Kali walked out of the condo pati na din si Bada. Mag-aaway na naman ba sila?
"Ako na dyan Naomi whispers sundan mo yung dalawa baka magkagunawan ng mundo pag nag-away yun" bulong ni Eunji sakin pagkaagaw nya ng dustpan. Mabilis naman akong tumakbo palabas to follow the two giants. I saw them walk towards the elevator.
Hahabulin ko sana sila but I was too late, nagsarado na yung elevator bago pa naman ako makaabot pero I saw it was going upwards.
Agad akong pumindot sa kabilang side going upwards as well, where are they going? Sa rooftop kaya? Hinahampas ko yung legs ko as if makakatulong to na mapabilis yung pag-akyat dito ng elevator.
I saw how strong they were in the library, I felt Bada's enraged emotions at hindi malabo na baka masira nila tong building na to if nag-away sila.
Mabilis akong pumasok when the elevator reached my floor at pinindot yung pinakataas. It took a while but I reached the highest floor at agad na tumakbo sa hagdan papuntang rooftop.
When I got out, there were thunders, the sky was rumbling and the wind was strong like a storm was coming. I ran towards the center and saw Bada and Kali facing each other, half of their bodies in their demon form and they were both tensed up.
"Bada! Kali! Let's go back downstairs they are looking for you" sigaw ko but both of them ignored me, like I was not even here. This is fucked up!
"Go back Naomi we don't need you here" Bada said in her calm voice but I just can't go back, Eunji said they might destroy everything if they fought.
I was about to run towards them when they charged on each other, both having swords blocking in front of them.
The thunders intensified with more appearing while the two devils in front of me are fighting. Kali was able to push Bada leading her to slide to the wall, breaking it.
Bada did not waste any second and stood up, Kali was ready to face her again when she teleported at Kali's back and kicked her causing Kali to lie on the floor, almost buried in the cement. They're both strong and still without injuries.
Bada was about to kick Kali's back again to bury her even more when Kali was gone from the floor and now at Bada's back, choking her with her tail in full demon form.
Her black wings were flapping so strong I can't see them now because of the debris flying onto me.
"Stop being stubborn Kali! Go back to hell and do your work there, stop bothering me and my business here. Do you want Lucifer to be disappointed at you again?" Bada said also in her own form but she was trapped in Kali's hands and tail so she can't fight back.
When Bada mentioned the word Lucifer it woke up Kali and let go of Bada.
Bada stood up dusting off the debris that got on her and Kali went back to her human form. She's calm now and the thunder and strong wind stopped too, so Bada went back to being human as well.
"I know you want to take everything from me but I know you can't Kali, I was assigned to this and anyone who tries to take my position would face uncertainties. You're still my sister so please, just stop your nonsense. Don't trouble me and Naomi. We can talk about this when I go back in hell" Bada said trying to be calm too. Both of them are catching their breaths while looking at each other, suddenly Kali disappears .
Tumakbo ako towards Bada and checked if she has bruises, at meron nga. Kali was able to cut her arm with her sword, I learned one thing tonight. Devils bleed. Not with normal things but with weapons they got from hell.
"Are you ok?" She asked me while cupping my cheek. Ako dapat nagtatanong nun sa kanya.
"Were you scared? Sorry you had to witness that Naomi" she said again while huffing. I did not say a word but I asked her na bumaba na kami. Nagpaalam nalang ako kila Kirsten na we'll head home first because her injury was a bit severe and they will be startled if they see it.
