RIGOR TREVERON'S MYSTERY GIRL REVEALED!

It seems that the infamous painter Rigor Treveron included finding his college sweetheart in his itinerary when he came home last month. Two weeks ago, the painter was seen canoodling with a woman in a parking lot and the same lucky girl appeared in his arms last night at his exhibit!

The said woman is concluded to be Rigor's college sweetheart, whom he dated before leaving the country years ago. His ex, his secretary, and a potential love affair! It seems Rigor's relationship with her is more than conducting his business tété-a-tété. His birthday is fast approaching and if she's still around, we could only conclude that she's definitely his TOTGA back in his arms!

"Is she going to come? Stormie?" Shantel asks hopefully from the kitchen counter.

Mabilis kong in-exit ang gossip tab sa iPad at nag-angat ng tingin sa kaniya. Bakas ang pag-aalala sa mukha ng kaibigan. I gave her a rueful smile.

"I don't know, yet. Elton is going to be there so I assume..."

She expels a sad sigh and puts down her books. Inayos niya din ang suot na reading glasses. She started wearing it last month and it suits her face well. Sumasakit raw kasi ang mga mata niya kapag nag-aaral sa mahabang oras.

"Imbitado ba kaming dalawa ni Shantel?" pangungulit naman ni Kyros. "O baka mga RK friends lang yan, ah?" he even gestures a quotation mark using his fingers on the word RK.

Inirapan ko siya. "Of course, you guys are invited. Malaki ang utang na loob namin sa inyong dalawa. Castian literally grew up with you."

"Where is he, anyway?"

"With his father." I smile.

Rigor ask to spent some time with him alone, in the garden. Nakikiramdam pa siya sa bata at ayaw itong biglain kaya naman pinayagan ko na rin. Castian didn't mind it, though. In fact, he is very excited and ecstatic when it comes to his father. He wants to show him the kittens and his toys and his little possessions like he's bragging. Rigor is just as invested as he is. Tinanong pa niya ako kung anong mga favorite characters ni Castian para may ideya siya sa regalong ibibigay. He even wants to discuss with me about giving him a piglet as a pet. Ang dami-dami niyang gustong gawin para sa anak at naiintindihan ko naman sa tagal ng panahon na pinagkait ko sa kanila.

Kyros looks down at his phone and smirks. Pansin kong palagi na siyang nagte-text nitong nakaraan. I've known him for years because of Shantel, and he never mentions a girl before. Kahit na nung nagtatrabaho pa siya sa bar at kusang lumalapit ang mga babae sa kaniya.

Tumayo ako at iniwan ang dalawa para tawagin sina Rigor at Castian para sa tanghalian. I step into the garden and saw two figures moving beneath the trees.

"—tapos Daddy tumitili si Ninang kapag may flying ipis. Hindi rin siya marunong magtimpla ng milk ko kagaya ni Mommy pero ayos lang."

I heard Rigor chuckled. Bumagal ang mga hakbang ko habang nacu-curious kung anong pinag-uusapan nila.

"How about your Tito Kyros?" tanong niya sa bata.

"Hmm Tito Kyros is awesome. He lets me borrow his phone to watch movies. Mahal niya din si Mau kahit na mabantot ang poop niya sabi ni Ninang."
