The Eerie Mister
JAMMY
Due to my profuse excitement for a new adventure I am going to experience, the night before our leaving, I ready my belongings I need for this three-day vacation trip.
“Wow! Mukhang 'di ka naman excited niyan, Jammy, ano?” Eloise greeted me, found me putting some clothes at my portmanteau for tomorrow. “Congratulations nga pala sa inyo nila Denver. Saka, ingat din kayo sa pupuntahan niyo. Enjoy your vacation trip para bukas.”
Tinulungan niya 'ko sa ginagawa. Nang matapos kami ay nagtungo kami sa sala upang kumain ng mga junk foods na pinamili kanina ni Eloise sa Mnemosyne Market. Sa dami ng mga 'to, pwede na siyang magtayo ng sari-sari store.
“Oh, Sheila, nasan nga pala ang dream boy mo? Ba't wala dito?” tanong ni Eloise sa kasama na noo'y nanonood ng TV.
Tila umiwas tingin naman ang huli sa kausap. Bahagya ring namula ang mga pisngi nito. “Ewan, kasama ata si Denver, may inasikaso.”
Tumawa naman si Eloise saka umayos ng upo palapit kay Sheila. “Ano ka ba naman, Sheila? Matagal ko na kayang alam na crush mo si Austin. Halata ka naman kasi masyado. Ba't ayaw mong mapag-usapan natin? Malay mo umamin din si Jammy na crush niya si Denver.”
“Hoy! Hindi, ah! Wala kong paghanga sa kolokoy na yun, noh!” I protested
“Weh? Di nga?”
“There's no way I will have a crush on him. Puro lang siya pa-cool, mayabang, bilib sa sarili at gaya ng sinabi ni Austin — misteryoso!”
“Does it mean, interesado ka sa kanya? You tend to look and observe the peculiarities bound at Denver kahit na naiinis ka minsan sa pagka-arogante niya.” said Eloise, aiming a conversing glance at me. “And I observed that you're enjoying his mysterious hobby of catching criminals, am I wrong?”
Hindi ako nakasagot sa kaniyang sinabi. Hindi naman ako nag-e-enjoy na kasama si Denver, duh!
“Ako naman…” Biglang nagsalita si Sheila na tila hindi pa sigurado sa sasabihin base sa pinta ng kaniyang mukha. “Yes, I have a crush on Austin. I mean, I like him since the first day. Sadyang manhid lang ata siya for not noticing me whenever I'm around,” malungkot nitong tugon.
