Amor Fati Series #1: Chasing Thy Fate

09

"Bakit kayo magkasama kanina?" Right after the class, Ivy immediately went clinging on me. It's currently lunch break when we decided to take a walk outside the campus.

Anji was holding a book. She was on the left side on the road while Aries was on her right close to the cars.

Meanwhile, nasa unahan kami. I was on the right side of the sidewalk while Ivy was on my left. She kept on bugging me hoping for an answer.

Tumabi si Leo sa 'kin. He's now on my very side. Siya na 'yong malapit sa mga sasakyan.

"Stop with the pushing Ivy. We're on the roadside, it's dangerous." he warned.

"Mamaya Ivy. I'll tell you everything. Detailed na detailed." I assured her, she really have this thing when it comes to teas.

Parang chismis nalang 'yong bumubuhay sa kaniya eh. Nanghihina kapag walang nakalap na kahit ano.

"'yan 'yong gusto ko. Detailed na detailed. Nagtataka talaga ako Lency eh. Eh kailan lang halos mapikon na kayo sa isa't-isa no'ng nag debate kayo." iling na sabi ni Veron.

I was just a little pissed on what he did. He insulted my rebut. Though that made me think and kept me up all night. Am I wrong fro presenting that example? I just find it really cruel in my side. Though I feel like there's a hint of bias- but the point is still there.

Tumawa naman ako. "Believe me, I didn't want that."

"Sus uminom ka nga ng dahon kanina. Bigay niya pa." singit ni Casper.

Tinignan ko siya nang masama. "Hindi lasang dahon 'yong ininom ko kanina. Kanina pa kayo ni Ivy parinig nang parinig."

"Huy 'to namang si Boss Lency, 'di ma joke."

Agad kaming pumasok sa malapit na dining. It's a cute little resto. Nag se-serve sila rito ng Filipino dish, Japanese and Korean.

"Samgyup ba tayo?" Leo asked.

"Okay lang naman sa 'kin." Aries shrugged.

"Dahon na naman? Baka maging kambing na 'tong si Lency!" tukso ni Ivy.

"Grabe ka sa 'kin." iling ko.

"I'll order Filipino, Japanese and Korean dish. Kaya ba?" Leo turned his gaze on us after he's done watching the menu that's on his front.

Pumalakpak naman si Casper. "'yan! 'yan 'yong gusto ko Lord! Sana araw-araw" natutuwang ani ni Casper.

"Magkano ba ambagan?" Tanong ni Veron.

"Ako na." Ani ni Leo at nag pa reserve na ng seat. Wala pang masyadong tao so we're to choose which seat 'yong I o-occupy namin.

Nanlalaking matang tinignan namin siya.

"Seryoso?"

"Dami mo namang pera Leon!"

"Well that's new."

"Sure ka ba? We can always divide the expenses."

Kaniya-kaniyang opinyon namin.

"Y'all, it's fine really. I insist. Upo na muna kayo roon." Leo smiled.

Nag-unahan naman sa pag-ubo sila habang tinitignan si Leo. "Walang bawian Leo ha!" sigaw ni Casper na nauna na sa seat.
