His Shadow (ON-GOING)

Kabanata 2

H.S.: Kabanata 2.

A/N: Sorry for the long wait! Despite not being able to publish simula, kabanata 1 and 2 together, I made these three parts in just one day because what can I do?! I'm boooooored🤣 And also, the signal's gone-gone again. I hope this is worth it! I'm getting hyped up because of Courtney hahaha! Enjoy reading, sunbeams! Also, pag-pasensyaan niyo na ako if palagi akong may author's note kada simula o ending ng chapter hahaha madaldal lang talaga ako and I can't help to have an A/N talaga. Mwa mwa!

P.s. Expect a much slower update unlike before. Our modules will be distributed this friday kasi. Maninibago pa ako sa new mode of learning sa school namin kaya matagal-tagal bago ako makakapag-update ulit hahaha. And, goal ko sa number of words each chapter is around 2000+ but that depends on the timeline and all. Minsan, 3K. Minsan less than 2K. Pero mas madalas 2K+. 'Yun lang tnx xD

A/N (2024): This story was made last 2022 and the A/N's in each chapter before the additional notes for 2024 were also written on 2022.

...brother.

Leon? He's graduating?

"At alam mo girl, hinahanap ka ni tita sakin! 'Alee, hija, alam mo ba kung nasaan na ngayon si Courtney?'  And of course, being your loyal friend kahit kating-kati na ang dila ko, hindi ko sinabi ang totoo. Kasi, duh, baka may plano kang sobrang kabog," She said, mimicking how Mama said it to her. "And you know, when she asked me that, she looked so sad. Nakakaawa si tita. But it's her fault why she's sad now. If only binigyan kalang niya ng chance, 'no?" She said. "Pero impossible ring hindi niya alam kung saan ka 'no? Dude, you're literally famous now. I mean, not super famous but famous enough for people to post things about you and all. But still, I get it. Siguro hindi hilig nila tita na bumili ng magazines? And baka hindi sila laging lumalabas ng bahay to see your face on billboards. Tsaka 'di ba may café ka in Tagaytay? Malapit lang ba 'yon sa dating bahay niyo?"

Aleethia, bakit ang daldal mo?

"Yup. I did it on purpose, para naman at least matikman o mabisita man lang nila Mama ang pinaghirapan ko," I smiled. Well, I hope they visited my café na din.

Tumango-tango si Aleethia.  "So... anong balak mo?"

Kumunot ang noo ko. "Sa ano?"

"You know, Leon?" Oh.

Saglit akong napaisip. "You know, girl, hindi naman masama kung dadalo ka sa graduation ni Leon. Kahit 'wag ka magpakita sakanila, at least bring yourself to see his achievements. Ako nalang 'yung magpapakita sakanila, hindi ko sasabihin na kasama kita. Alam kong proud na proud ka sa sobrang gwapo at talino mong kapatid kaya go na! Sasamahan kita. Alam ko ang address ng school and everything! Ako ng bahala sa'yo, presence mo lang need ko," She winked playfully at me and smiled. Tinawanan ko ito.

"Pag-iisipan ko muna. Hindi ko din kasi alam kung free ba ako the day of Leon's graduation. I'll try lang. If I can't make it, you can just bring yourself back home para at least may representative ako. Alam mo namang pa-surprise lagi si Manager Ry kapag may shoot o ano."
