Episode Title:

"Cyclamen"



3rd Person's POV

"Nick..."

Pinilit imulat ni Nick ang mga mata. His shoulders still shivered. Inayos agad ni Van ang kumot niya.

"Mitch wants to talk to you."

Nick gulped and tried to move his head sideways. Ilang araw na nitong iniiwasan si Mitch, at hanggang ngayon ay wala siyang balak kausapin ito.

"Huwag mong sasagutin. Please."

Agap na tumango si Van.

"I told her you're drunk." Lumapat ang mga palad ni Van sa noo ni Nick.

"You sure, you don't want to be in the hospital?" Hindi sumagot si Nick.

"Lagnat lang 'to. Malayo sa bituka."

"But still..." Hindi maitago ni Van ang pag-aalala. She slightly pouted.

The thing she has never done before. She's always the serious type of woman you could hardly interact with. Tulad ni Angelo, ay puro libro ang kanyang kaharap sa umaga at gabi.

But now, it's a little different.

"Salamat sa pag-aalala. Sapat na saakin iyon."

Pilit siyang nginitian ni Nick kahit hinang-hina na ito. Van softly tapped his shoulders.

"You should still call your friends. Lalo na si Mitch. She's so worried about you."

Umiling si Nick at tumingala.

"We're not friends anymore."

Van looked at him dumbfoundedly.

"Really, Nick?" She sarcastically asked. "After what you did?"

"Wala lang naman 'yon." He pouted.

"The things you do for her are beyond love..." Van uttered romantically.

"Love ampota. Hahaha! Hindi oy."

Van keeps suppressed herself from making a laugh.

"But what with the necklace?"

Isang nakakabinging katahimikan ang namayani habang magkatitigan ang dalawa. Doon nagsimulang sumeryoso ang mukha ni Nick. He failed to keep it as a secret. Hindi nito naisip na may isang Vansherlyn ang makakaalam ng lahat.




Mitch's POV

"You're always welcome to stay at my house."

"But your dad Mitch..." Tila siya nahihirapan huminga.

Isinara ko ang gate at sumaludo sa guard, which Nick and I always do.

"Eyy! Don't be bothered by that old man. Ako ang masusunod sa bahay ko."

"But that was wrong. I shouldn't sleep in your house. You should wake me up last night."

He's so good to be true.

"It's fine, Angelo. Nangyari na ang dapat mangyari."

Nilingon niya ako kaagad. Did he remember?

"W-What happened?"

Umiling ako nang may ngiti sa labi.

"Did I do something?" He curiously asked.
