;before Brielle's tweet

3 R D . P E R S O N ' S .

Sunday morning rain is falling. Umagang kay ulan nga naman. Ano bang ganap sa itaas at bakit parang ang lungkot ng vibes?

Ryu's at the waiting shed near the Skye's household waiting for Brielle to go out.

It's not my first time going here but let me say that the Skye is one famous family kasi kahit tanungin pa sa kabilang village kung saan sila nakatira,  you can easily get the answer from the people. The boy thought.

Kilala sila because of wealth and great sense in the business industry. Their whole clan has promising businessmen and businesswomen, no doubt that they have this enormous amount of fortune. People wonder why they just bought a two-floored house here instead of buying a whole villa. And that decision was made by the younger Skye's; Brielle, Kyle, and Aria.

Unlike their other relatives, these Skye's are wise in using their money and they have simple desirable things.  Don't forget their looks.

Hindi napigilan ni Ryu na mapangiti nang biglang pumasok sa isipan niya ang imahe ng isang babaeng may nagniningning na ekspresyon.

Tama ata si David, tinamaan ka na nga Ryu.

"Hoy bestie ni Ken Masters, anong nginingiti-ngiti mo diyan?" he hid his smile when he noticed the presence of the girl he's waiting for.

"Ken Masters who?"

"Luh 'di ba ikaw si Ryu? Tapos si Ken Masters 'yung bestie mo? Ken Masters na deuteragonist sa Street Fighters," sagot ni Brielle sa naguguluhang binata na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin naiintindihan ang mga pinagdadadakdak nito.

"The heck Brielle? Sabog ka ba?'' Ryu judged the girl that made him earn a smack in the head.

"Tangina neto. Kulang tulog ko at hindi pa masarap 'yung niluto ni kuya na sopas kagabi, napakatamis amputa! Asukal ata nalagay niya instead of asin!" Brielle complained. "Kaya akin na 'yang korean milk bago pa masira ng tuluyan ang araw ko."

"Demanding?" pagkaabot ni Ryu sa kaniya ng gatas ay nagliwanag naman ang mukha nito. Pero nabawi nalang ang ngiti nito nang malaman na hindi sinunod ni Ryu ang gusto niya. Napairap nalang ang binata sa mga hampas na natanggap niya galing sa kasama.

They stopped in front of the guard's shed to inform the security that Brielle Skye is going out. Secured na secured ah.

While waiting, Ryu opened his phone and checked those notifications. Nakita niya ang post ng dalaga at siyempre, hindi rin mawawala ang kaingayan ng kaibigan niyang si David Lee. Pero mas lumaki ang mata nito nang magsi-ingay na rin ang mga kaibigan ni Aria.

Nababahala, he bit his fingernails while holding the umbrella on his shoulders.

Teka, bakit ba ko kinakabahan? Kaya nga, bakit ba siya kinakabahan? Alam naman ni Aria na may gusto ito sa kaniya.

Baka magselos..

Wow, assuming? Why would she be jealous in the first place? Ryu is simply overthinking, which is nothing to be concerned about. Overthinking is part of the human experience, 'wag lang araw-arawin dahil hindi naman ito vitamins. Baka nga ito pa makasira sa iyo.

"Hoy tara doon sa greenhouse park sa east."

"Sure. 'Yung near sa coffee shop?"

"Oo."

//////////

Ryu looked at Brielle with a judging expression because of the latter's sudden frustration. She's holding her phone while messaging someone. Ryu just shrugged it off and kept feeling the fresh air around them.

I wonder if Aria is nature-friendly as well? He thought.

"PUTANGINA!"

He flinched after hearing Brielle's scream. He gave an apologetic look to the people who stopped their tracks around them. Nakakahiya ka Brielle.

"Nakakairita naman sila! Masyasdong maissue."

"Sila Diana ba?"

"Oo mga bwisit sila. Hindi ata nila alam na meron akong compilation ng mga baho nila. Mga boset talaga sa susunod ilalabas-"

"Andiyan ba si Aria?" Napalingon si Aria kay Ryu dahil rito. Imbis na bigyan ng sagot ay sinuklian niya ito ng nakakalokong ngiti.

"You really like Aria huh?"

"Yeah," he answered and scratched his head because of shyness. "You know, Aria is the kind of person you want to explore every part-"

"HOY!"

"W-wait hindi 'yon! Ang dumi naman ng isip! What I mean is that she is like an enigmatic book. An enigmatic, mysterious book that will capture everyone's attention but only a few will have the urge to read and have the will to understand it."

"And you're saying na you are one of those people? You are willing to read every chapter of hers?"

Ryu nodded and the younger Skye can feel the sincerity in him. That made her smile because she realized how lucky Aria is for having an admirer like Ryu.

"To be honest, feeling ko may crush 'yan sa'yo," sabay nalang silang napatawa rito.

"Alam mo Ryu, Aria thinks that she can hide her feelings very well because of her looks. Pero if you'll look in her eyes, you will see a thousand unspoken words."

"Yeah, I know. That is one of the things I like about her. She expresses herself in different ways," nakangiting sabi niya pero napalitan ang ekspresyon nito nang makita ang malungkot na mukha ng dalaga.

"Hey, Brielle? May nasabi ba akong-"

"Ryu.."

"Hmm?"

"Aria thinks she's dying..."
