Camila's POV

"That was the reason kung bakit Lopez siya. She's blood-related pala kay Giovanni. Buong akala ko ay ka-apelyido niya lang yun." Napapailing na saad ko habang nagugulat na nakatingin sa kaniya. Binitiwan ko ang kapeng hawak ko. "Sabi niya rin kanina na I look familiar daw! Siguro nakukwento ni Giovanni yung pangalan ko. O baka binabackstab ako ng kaibigan mo?"

Natawa siya napakahabang litanya na pinakawalan ko. "That's call him, Gov." He stated. "He's talkative type of person. Hindi na nakakapagtaka yun, but he will never go wrong in backstabbing his friends."

Tumango lamang ako saka ipinalampas ang topic na iyon. At least nasagot na yung ikinalilito ko kanina. Mas'yado naman kasing pa-curious yung ate ni Giovanni. Akala ko may scandal na ako para maging pamilyar sa kaniya.

"Paano ka pala napunta sa Amadeo?" natatawang anang ko habang nakataas ang kilay.

Instead of responding to my question, he stopped to take a sip from his coffee during the conversation. "Siguro... Sinadya mo ako mismo rito 'no?" natatawa muling anang ko, nangangasar ang mga tingin. Hindi ko talaga siya pinapakawalan.

I was hoping that he wouldn't answer me sarcastically. Baka mamaya sasabihin niyang nakarating siya dito dahil bumiyahe siya. Totoo naman! He almost blew out the coffee on his mouth because of my joke. Nanlaki pa muna ang mga mata niya, bago niya ako inirapan nang matindi bilang tugon.

He used the tissue that was lying on his lap to wipe his mouth clean, and then he placed the tissue once more on the table. "Hibang ka ba?" napapailing na tanong ni Sevann sa akin, bago mahinang natawa.

The moment I shook my head, I responded with a no. After that, he went on to respond to the questions I had asked. "I was with Carter earlier, we were having a photoshoot. We are currently endorsing a clothing brand."

It came as a bit of a surprise to me when I heard what he had just responded to. "At, sakto namang naalala kong dito ka rin pala sa Amadeo, kaya tinext na kita para ayain," He added for a clarification.

"Oh, akala ko naman," It was hard for me to speak. The temperature of my face was rising, and I could feel it. Mahina akong natawa at napairap na lamang.

He giggles. "Assumera ka lang talaga," mahinang anang niya. "I am also tired, and broke but I still treated you with my allowance," He's currently guilttripping me!

Ngumiwi naman ako, saka natawa. "Ay, thank you, ha?" seryoso kong anang, saka mahinang natawa. "Bawi nalang siguro ako sa 'yo sa first sahod ko,"

Following that, we simultaneously let out a tiny giggle at the same time. During our conversation, we spoke about a few subjects, including our personal views on life, what we want from life, and our interests.

"What? Moira is an idol to you as well?" I was taken aback a little bit.

He slowly nodded, giving me a little attention. "I attended most of her concerts, together with my younger sister. We both idolizes Moira because of her sad but meaningful songs," He came quite close to providing a full explanation of his justifications.

A frown appeared on my face, and I let out a small sigh. "Wala na ngang attentive na kuya, hindi pa nakapunta sa concert ni Moira," mahina kong bulong, iyong ako lang ang nakakarinig.

Mahina siyang natawa sa gilid ko. Patuloy kaming naglalakad papunta sa bus station. Masiyadong malayo ang Amadeo sa Manila, kailangan pa naming mag-bus para makauwi ng Manila. Nasa Cavite kasi ang Amadeo, at, ang kompanya na nasa Amadeo rin naman kasi kami inilagay. Nakakainis nga pero wala naman akong choice kun 'di sumang-ayon na lang. Go with the flow, ganun.
