"Deiji!" Tawag ni Noah sa dalaga ng makita ito sa bungad ng hagdan.
Noah slowly separates himself from Daisy and holds her in both shoulders.
"Daisy, go pack your things, we're going to leave." Utos ni Noah kay Daisy saka ngumiti ng matamis dito.
"Is it okay for me to go along with all of you?" Tanong ni Daisy kay Noah pertaining to what she did to Michael and how she became selfish for that.
"Of course! No one told you not to come with us." Masiglang sagot naman ni Noah sa kanya.
"There's one. Duh!" Ani Daisy saka tumingin kay Deiji at umirap.
Napatawa naman si Deiji dahil sa inasal ni Daisy sa kanya sa mismong harapan ni Noah. It also became the reason for Noah to remember that Deiji was standing near them. Daisy went inside again to get ready.
Noah walks towards her and stop in front of her.
"Deiji, it's not like what you think it is." Panimulang pag e explain ni Noah kay Deiji.
"Huh? What do you think of me?" Tumatawang sambit ni Deiji kay Noah saka nagpatuloy na sa kwarto na tinuluyan nila pansamantala.
"What do you mean?" Pagtatakhang tanong ni Noah kay Deiji.
He likes Deiji and he knows that Deiji still likes him too.
"I mean, It doesn't concern me and I don't have interest about what kind of relationship you two have." Pangiti ngiting paliwanag ni Deiji sa binata.
Though she does want to ask Noah who Daisy is in his life because it seems that those were really close to each other.
Noah went silent after that. It pains him that Deiji doesn't have any interest in him after thinking that Deiji might still like him after all these years.
"Ahm. What are you doing here?" Tanong na lamang ni Noah upang malihis ang masakit na katotohanan na narinig niya mula mismo kay Deiji.
"Naiwan kasi 'yong stuff toy na nilalaro ni Zebby. Yuki wants me to get it." Sagot ni Deiji kay Noah na halos pinipilit na lamang niyang magsalita.
After what she saw a while ago. Pakiramdam niya ay namanhid ang dalawang pisngi niya at nanigas. Ngayon ay hirap na hirap siyang ibuka ang bibig. But she needed to act in front of Noah like it was nothing.
She saw the stuffed toy and quickly passed on Noah to get away from him. She doesn't want to be around Noah for the time being. She felt like she was drowning.
Napahinto ang dalawa sa paglalakad ng makarinig sila ng napakalakas na ingay mula sa labas. Tunog bakal ito na mukhang natumba.
Dali dali silang bumaba upang makibalita sa mga kasamahan. They both saw Glenn, Roy and Christ pushing back the door.
"What happened?" Deiji asks them as she quickly gets her things to get ready.
"Nakapasok na sila. And now they're trying to enter here." Paliwanag naman ni Glenn kay Noah at Deiji na ngayon ay kakarating lang at questionable ang mga hitsura.
"We really need to move now." Suggest naman ni Roy na kitang kita ang hirap sa kanyang ginagawa.
Sinundan nila ng tingin si Noah na nagmamadaling umakyat muli sa taas.
"Noah!" Christ furiously calls his friend.
"He's getting Daisy." Deiji murmured and hid her face from the others as she sadly smiled to herself.
Nagmamadaling bumaba naman si Noah habang hila hila si Daisy na mukhang irita pa.
"I'm not yet done packing. I just got three shirts, shorts and underwear." Pagrereklamo ni Daisy kay Noah habang pinipilit n hilahin ang palapulsuhan mula sa binata.
"Excuse me, we don't have any clothes with us. Stop the tantrums, girl." Bianca rolled her eyes to Daisy who was now looking after what she said.
"Excuse me too, It's not my fault. And for your information, you didn't have any clothes when you got here in my house in the first place." Pagtataray pabalik ni Daisy.
She even raise her eyebrows para lang prangkahin si Bianca. Bianca was about to speak back but Myrna just stopped her.
"Please. Let's just go. You all are noisy. Padami na sila ng padami." Roy shouted at them.
Lahat napatingin sa kanila saka naglakad papunta sa kusina kung saan naroroon ang backdoor ng bahay.
"Please, Lord. Protect us." Yuki whispered as they started stepping outside with a quiet night.
Dahan dahan at tahimik muli silang naglalakad sa labas. Dahil sa dilim ay hirap ang mga zombies makita sila as long as they keep quiet.
"Where are we going?" Noah whispers and asks Glenn who was leading him again in front.
Everyone was quiet and some of them even held their mouths to keep it shut.
Glenn is in the front again with Noah. Daisy, Myrna and Bianca are in the back of them while Deiji is staying beside Yuki who was holding Zebby. They also have Michael and Michelle who still hold each other's hand. While Roy and Christ are looking out from their back.
Michael insisted on putting a tape in his mouth because Deiji doesn't want him to get tied again. He wants to keep his mouth shut so even no one realises that he was turning, he can't bite and hurt anyone.
They all stop and stare at the bright light in front of them not too far from where they are. They also wonder when they notice that it keeps moving near to them.
They saw a lot of people at the same age running towards them.
"Run!" One of them shouted to them even though he was still far from them.
Glenn and the others look at the back. Ganun na lang ang gulat nila na sobrang zombie ang dala dala ng mga ito papunta sa kanila.
Nagtatakbo muli sila pabalik. Yuki suggested going left as she realised that it's a shortcut to her workplace.
Inis namang nagmadali sa pagtakbo ang grupo nila Glenn at Noah ng makitang sinusundan sila kabilang grupo na may bitbit na napakaraming zombies.
Tinuro ni Yuki ang isang mataas na hotel na mukhang sarado pa. Yuki gives Zebby to Myrna and tries to enter the passcode of the building.
"Yuki, faster." Pagmamadali ni Roy.
"Bilis! Bilisan niyo!" Isang hindi kilalang lalaki ang biglang lumapit sa kanila at mukhang hingal na hingal pa.
Sinundan ito ng isa pa, at isa pa. Hanggang sa nagsisiksikan na sila sa harap ng pintuan ng hotel na pinagtatrabahuhan ni Yuki.
Gustong umalma ni Glenn sa mga ito ngunit katulad nila ay gusto lamang nitong mailigtas ang mga sarili.
Nang bumukas ang pintuan ay agad na nagmadali ang lahat na magsipasukan. Dahilan upang magkawatak watak ang mga magkakaibigan.
Michael and Michelle were trying their best to hold each other's hand so they wouldn't lose each other.
"Dito!" Tawag ni Yuki sa mga kasamahan na nasa gitna ng napakaraming tao na nagkakagulo pa din at nag uunahan.
In just a minute, they all gather again in front of the elevator for VIP members only.
"Where's Deiji?" Tanong ni Noah ng makapasok silang lahat sa loob ng elevator at mapansing wala ang dalaga.
"Ayun!" Turo ni Roy sa kabilang dulo ng kanilang kinaroroonan.
Palinga linga ito at mukhang hinahanap sila.
"Ate Deiji!" Sigaw ni Michelle upang makuha ang pansin nito.
Hindi naman siya nagkataon at ngumiti si Deiji sa kanya saka nagmamadaling nagtakbo lakad papunta sa kanila.
But before she entered the elevator, it was shut before her face. And everyone was frightened when they saw a lot of zombies enter the hotel behind Deiji.
