My Special Happiness
Episode 4
Part 3
Leila stretched her arms and turned to her side before opening her eyes. She was startled by the sleeping Dexter's face which was only a few inches away from hers.
She sprang up and realized that they were still stuck inside the elevator.
"Haaaayy... ano ba 'yan...." she moaned. (Haaay... What the--)
She looked at her watch. It was 6 o'clock a.m.
Leila stood up and started banging on the elevator doors.
"Hoooooooy! Palabasin ninyo kami dito, ano baaaaaahh!!!" she yelled. (Hey!!! Get us out of here, for crying out loud!)
***
Kame sat up and rubbed his eyes. He looked around his room and realized that he was alone. He thought he heard something.
He plopped down on his bed again to continue sleeping but his phone rang. He woozily reached for it.
"Moshi moshi..."
"Oi, where are you?"
It was Junno.
"In bed..." he answered sleepily.
"What?! Get up! We have somewhere to go to!"
"Eh?"
"Get up and get ready!"
"Alright, alright..."
***
"Leila-sama?!"
Hana and Dexter awakened to the sound of Leila'sa yelling and banging.
"Weh?! We're still here?!" Dexter exclaimed upon realizing he was inside the elevator. "Everyone stop breathing!"
"Shut up, Dexter." said Hana. Dexter pouted and went back to sleep.
"I can't believe they still haven't done anything to get us out of here!" said Leila. "I'm hungry!"
Hana held her grumbling stomach and looked at Leila. "Me too, boss."
"I can't stand this!" she said. She stood in front of the camera and started to wave her hands. "Hellooooooo...."
***
Kame stopped and listened. He thought he heard something.
He shrugged and continued brushing his teeth. Junno was already waiting for him downstairs. Apparently they were supposed to go meet with some important people from an ad agency to talk about a new product that they will be endorsing.
Kame had forgotten about it because of last night's event.
After putting together a casual get-up, he grabbed his bag and made his way out the door.
He looked at the broken elevator as he waited for the working elevator to reach their floor. He saw that it was on already. He decided to push the down button.
He waited.
Nothing happened.
The other elevator opened and Kame got in.
***
Leila heard a bell.
"What was that?" she asked Hana and Dexter.
Then suddenly, the elevator started moving.
"Yattaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" the trio exclaimed.
"We're moving!" Leila exclaimed. She held hands with Hana and they started to jump up and down joyfully.
"Stop! Leila-sama!" Dexter yelled in a panic.
Leila and Hana stopped jumping and realized that the elevator had stopped again.
"We're doomed!!!!!!!" cried Dexter. "We're never going to get out of here!"
"Sorry Dexter..." Leila said, getting teary eyed.
"Sumimasen, Dex-kun..." Hana said, also feeling guilty for causing the elevator to stop again.
"I'm going to stop breathing now." said Leila.
She faced one corner of the elevator and held her breath.
"Leila-sama..." Hana said.
Dexter looked at Leila and then Hana.
"I shall do the same, Dex-kun." she said. Hana went over to the other corner and held her breath.
"Leila-sama... Hana-sempai..." Dexter said sadly. He took their hands and pulled them away from the corners. "We shall share the air that is left in this meager elevator... And if it is to be, I shall hold my breath so you to might live."
"Don't you think we're over reacting?" Leila asked the two as she felt tears roll down her face.
"But I'm already so hungry, I can't think straight anymore!" answered Hana.
"Neither can I!" said Leila.
"I just feel so bad about why we got stuck here in the first place..." Dexter said in a shaky voice.
The three of them held each other's hands and cried.
Then suddenly, the elevator began to move again. The trio became silent as they listened to the humming of the elevator.
"Yattaaaa...." the said together, in between sobs.
***
Kame stepped out of the elevator and looked for Junno. He spotted him standing by the reception area and was about to walk over to him when he heard the elevator doors open--the one that had been broken.
"AIR!"
He saw a guy rush out of the elevator with his arms wide open. He was followed by two girls. The first one stretched her arms as well and yelled "Ohayo!" and the second one dropped on the floor and sobbed.
Kame recognized who they were. He remebered that they were the foreigners who said "baka" a lot. He watched them curiously. He smiled.
So they were the ones inside the elevator...
***
"Sa wakas.... Gutom na gutom na po ako..." (Finally... I am very, very hungry...) Leila cried. "Gustong gusto ko nang mag-toothbrush...." (I want to brush my teeth so badly...)
Her face was all ugly and damp from her crying when, from the corner of her eye, she saw...
"Eh?" she said suddenly. She wiped her face and stood up quickly. She blinked a few times to make sure she wasn't imagining it. "Junnosuke..."
Hana heard what Leila said and followed her gaze. Hana's eyes widened.
"Junnosuke!" Leila yelled.
Dexter was startled and looked at Leila. Junno was startled too.
"Daisuki!" yelled Leila.
Dexter and Hana gasped. Junno grinned. Leila frowned and was silent for a while. Her eyes widened when she realized where she was and what she had just done. Her face turned red as she cupped her hands over her mouth to cover her gasp.
"Leila-sama..." Hana said in disbelief. Leila turned to her, her hands still covering her mouth, and her eyes widened when she saw another person who was watching her curiously.
She muffled her squeal and ran inside the elevator.
"Leila-sama?!" Dexter and Hana exclaimed.
"Ne, we just got out of there, boss!"
Leila covered her face with a scarf and wished she would disappear. She felt Hana pulling her arm.
"Boss, get out of here! You don't want to get stuck here, don't you?"
Leila revealed her embarrassed face and Hana and Dexter almost laughed at how funny she looked.
"Stop laughing!" she said, almost in tears. "Nakakahiya ako..." (I'm so embarrassing...)
"We still love you, boss." Hana said while chuckling. "Right, Dex?"
"Hai!"
"Eeeehh... Itago ninyo ako!" (Eehh... Hide me!)
Hana and Dexter laughed.
"Ano..."
Hana and Dexter spun around and saw Junno and Kame standing outside the elevator. Leila was quick to cover her face again.
"Ahehehe... Sumimasen..." said Dexter.
Hana grinned from ear to ear. "Hi!" she said.
"Leila-sama is just--"
"Huwag mo banggitin pangalan ko, pambihira!" Leila yelled in the background. (Don't mention my name, dang it!)
Dexter bit his lips to keep from laughing. "Patawad po...*"
"Hi!" Hana said again with a big grin.
"Hi!" Junno said with a smile.
"Kyaaa..." gushed Hana.
"Sempai?!" Dexter said. "Focus!"
"Sorry, sorry." Hana said seriously. She took off her jacket and covered Leila. "Come on, ojou-sama."
Hana helped Leila out of the elevator, grinning at Junno and Kame as she passed by them. "Ohayo.."
"Sorry, our boss is kind of... shy..." said Dexter. "And somewhat deranged at the moment... Sorry to bother you..."
Dexter bowed and followed Hana and Leila who were running madly for the stairs.
***
Junno and Kame looked at each other, then at the three who were running away from them.
"Ojou-sama?" they said at the same time.
