Ang Huling Kabanata

Ika-walong kabanata

Callum

I feel bad now. Did I really trap Crisanto just like that because I just didn't have the trust in today's society? May reason naman ako, pero on the other hand I never even consider Crisanto's feelings.

"You should talk to him" A voice lingered as Callum stood up.

"Felicia, you overheard?" He walks near the book to hide it.

"Figured I wanted some sleep, pero seems like our guest isn't from this dimension hmm?" She leans towards until she snatches the book.

"Felicia give that book to me-" Felicia starts reading out and looks at him.

"Oh kuya, you know how you'll get in trouble when dad finds out about it" Felicia shakes her head.

"You're not gonna tell him diba?" Felicia can be unpredictable, she could be acting or some sort.

"Of course..."

"Not! Are you kidding me?!" Felicia laughs.

"Dropping my suspiciousness, I didn't expect our guest to be my oldie crushy" She giggles as Callum pinches her ear.

"Ow ow ow! Hey!" She pouts as Callum sighs.

"Jesus Christ akala ko sasabihin mo. Tangina mo naman"

"Well I can't help it. You two were very obvious of the whole Cris Alfonso thing" She snickers.

"Kailan mo nalaman?"

"The day you two arrived" Callum blushes and scratches his head.

"I figured of testing Crisanto's abilities to be another person. And when I found out na walang anak ang mga Alfonso na nakapangalan na Cris, I knew there was something off" Felicia answers.

"Sorry for keeping this bunso" Callum pouts.

"Kuya, if you could've told me from the start edi sana noon pa natin pinabalik si Crisanto" They sat on the bed.

"Kuya, I know something is bothering you when you intensely look at your hands. Drop it and tell me" Callum was bullseyed.

"Tungkol ba sa paghahanap ng litrato ng kasintahan ni Crisanto... Or you are confused with your feelings?" Callum faces her.

"Bakit naman ako malilito sa feelings ko?" Callum pouts.

"Ahh kuya... You have fallen for him" She coos as Callum blushes.

"You're bluffing" Callum denies.

"Sabi ng crush niya hindi mapapasakaniya"

"Hoy tangina ka tumigil ka!" She jokes as she sighs.

"Kuya, I can't stop tadhana you know that right? Crisanto is in love with the person he met a long time ago" Felicia mentions.

"I don't believe in tadhana Felicia, pero, something in my heart tells me that he is the right person to fall for" Callum isn't lying or being selfish, ramdam niya talaga.

"Oh kuya, you know what? You go impress a 19th century gentleman. Pero ikaw ha, you chose the correct one" Felicia winks.

"Your first lover!" She cheered as Callum smiles.

It felt like it will be the first, and the only soul he'll love in this universe.

Crisanto

Nakakatulog man ako ng mahimbing. Pero agad na tumatak sa isip ko ang mga sinasabi ni Mon Senyor sa akin. Tama naman na nililimitahan niya ang aking kasiyahan dito, pero parang pinaparamdam ko sa kaniya na hindi niya ginagawa ang kaniyang lahat para man maging komportable ako dito.
