Defending the Inevitable [On-Going]

Chapter Six- MIGHTIEST TRIO

My mind is running around in circles while we are on the road, on her four wheeled Masserati Quattroporte. Yes, she's the one driving, Professor Verajuela can drive, she's just lazy daw sometimes that's why she's asking her driver to drive for her.

We're on our way to my place. Aspen and Amani are already there. I told them to come by to my place.

And about what happened just now? I asked her why did she have that photo. She said that Aspen left it in her house. And with me being curious, it became known to me that it was Aspen and Amani, assumingely. So they're my long lost childhood best friends?

I still don't know what exactly Professor Verajuela and Aspen's relationship is. But I am sure now that they're not romantically involved. Why? Because I asked her and she almost puked! HAHA. No words! Just that reaction is enough.

Oh! She didn't let me used Baby Ow. She's gonna ask her driver nalang na dalhin ito sa bahay. Hindi kasi kami dumaan sa front gate.

I kinda told her that the place triggers me. Di naman sya nagtanong pa. Syempre bilang bossy at napakaarteng nilalang, sa back gate kami dumaan. May pathways naman doon towards her underground garage. Na-amaze nga ko nang makita ko iyon. Bahala kayo mag-imagine pero makasarili ako kaya secret lang kung anong meron doon. Cheret.

It's just a garage with lots of Italian branded luxury cars. There's also a path right there papunta sa indoor forest niya. She keeps on surprising me, and I can't keep up. Kasi naman may isang metal red door doon — torture zone nya?

Hays. Professor Verajuela... Sino ka ba? Anong meron sa iyo?

"Hey sleepy slowpoke creature, wake up! We're here in your house" nakaramdam na naman ako ng mahinang sampal galing kay Ma'am. Grabe na talaga ang dinaranas ko dito sa Propesorang ito. Kung hindi sakal e sampal. Napaka brutal susme!

Aw. I missed my place, my bed, my own loft, my basement. Akala mo ba naman isang dekada nawala e! I can hear a loud sound from outside. My speakers are centralized. Bruh there's also a speakers outside, you can only customize the speaker that you will turn on with the help of the owner which is me.

Nagpapatugtog sila! Omg! Pink Venom?! By Blackpink?! Why did I thought them how to turn on my sound system?

Nakita kong lumabas si Professor Verajuela sa sasakyan nya. Matapos ko kasing magpaalam ay iniwan ko na sya sa sasakyan. Akala ko aalis na sya pero nagulat naman akong makita ito sa labas ng sasakyan.

Taka ko itong tiningnan. "What? You're not gonna invite me in?" Taas kilay niyang saad. Ang taray mo po ineng. Inirapan ko din sya, palaban ako e. "Fine, you can go—" at nauna na syang pumasok sakin.

Pero napansin kong napahinto sya sa nakabukas na pinto kaya sumunod ako. .

Na sana pala hindi nalang.. my goodness! Napanganga nalang ako habang si Ma'am ay naka-poker face lang.

"Sheesh, Amani" bulong ni Ma'am.

"What the hell, Amani?!" I screamed because... My house! Is a mess. Clothes are everywhere.

Kung akala nyong may kababalaghan ay meron nga! Oo. Grabe ang pangyayari dito sa sala ko. Pero hindi yung 'ror' ha!

She's freakin' dancing to Blackpink songs! Di ko alam kung nasan si Aspen pero hindi pa rin siya tumitigil sa pag-sayaw kahit nakita na niya kami. Ngumiti pa sya at lumapit.

Fook! Lalapit nya para ata ayain ako sumayaw. "Amani?! No! Jeez stop!" Nakakahiya jusko naman. Nandito si Ma'am.

"Tigil na, Amani! Nasaan ba si Aspen?!" Sabi ko sa kaniya habang tinatanggal ko yung kamay nya sa braso ko.
