Chapter Eight Part Two

ARIELLE'S POV

Mag-isa ako ngayong lunch.

Parang katulad nung mga past years.

But this time

I feel something's missing.

Alam ko ang bilis, pero ano magagawa ko?

Napatingin ako sa table kung saan kumakain sina Zeus.

Ah. He looks happy. :)

At least may friends na siya.

"Hey, Arielle--"

"What?"

Si Danilo pala.

"Uh. Pwede sumabay sa'yo?"

"Sige."

Kumain muna kami.

Parang kinalahati niya muna pagkain niya bago nag salita.

"I-- i'll be frank, sa tingin ko naman hindi mo gagawin ulit yung---"

"Shut it Dan."

"Okay. Pero kahawig niya rin yung Mr. Del--"

"I told you to shut up. Wala na siya dito, kaya wag na nating pag-usapan, okay?"

What's with this guy?

Porque siya lang nakakaalam nung UGH.

I don't want to think about it.

"Chill. I'm just making a warning."

"Oo na. I get it. Kahit hindi mo banggitin ng buo."

"The Deepest Secret of---"

"Dan."

"Testing lang."

"Ugh. Just eat, 'kay?"

Nakakastress siya. As in.

Danilo was talking about... ugh FINE I'll tell it.

Remember what I said to Zeus yesterday?

THAT Mr. Dela Paz. Si Albert.

Dito siya naghigh-school. And his whole high school life, ako ang mundo niya.

We were both happy and we both know it's a bit wrong.

I believe that age didn't matter when you're in love.

But then, he needed to go.

Ang nakakainis sa kanya hindi siya nagpaalam man lang ng maayos kahit na alam kong graduate na siya.

No proper closure.

Kahit ba na secret on kami eh.

Kaya nung last last year I felt depressed. Pero nagtuturo pa rin ako.

Yung dahilan na kung bakit alam ni Danilo yung relationship namin ni Albert is also because of Albert. Parang mag-kuya yung dalawa, kaya sinabi ni Albert kay Dan.

One time sinabi na rin naman ni Albert nung magtatapos na siya ng 3rd year na parang hindi na niya kaya magtago sa Father niya.

Kahit naman ako nahihirapan magtago na may relasyon ako sa estudyante ko ah?

"Sir Dan, you two doing fine?"

Lumapit na pala si Zeus.

"Hey, Mr. Dela Paz, oo, ok lang naman... pero baka si Ms. Sy..."
