Journey With You
Chapter 25: All My Life"Congrats, Hani!!! Anong nangyari kanina sa ospital habang bumibili kami ng pagkain, ha!!!" Denzel wiggled her eyebrows. No, nothing special happened.
"Baka sila na talaga pero ayaw lang umamin nung una..." Haka haka ni Treble bago bumaling kay Yuri. "For good na ba ang kambal mo dito?"
"I don't know yet." Yuri replied and then looked at me intensely. "Can we talk, Hani? I have questions about Atlas Hotel. Okay lang?"
"Sure, sige..."
"Guys, we'll just get our stuff from the other villa." Paalam ni Treble at saka na sila umalis ni Denzel.
"Don't you have to call Shyden?" Yuri asked Dylan who immediately snapped his fingers.
"Right! Baka maratatat na naman ako neto." Dylan chuckled nervously and then went out to make a call.
"What is this non-Atlas related stuff that we have to talk about? You even made them all leave." I asked as we sat on the sofa. Who are we kidding, diba?
"I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds this weird." Umupo rin siya sa sofa. "Or did something really happen at the hospital? Perhaps when I went out to make a call?"
Umiling ako. "Wala. I'm just as puzzled as you are. This isn't the way I envisioned the start of my love life to be."
"Why did Sven do that? I have a few ideas in mind, but I don't want to entertain them."
"Pwede ba akong maging honest?"
"I think I know what you're thinking. Wag na." Aniya.
"Yuri naman. I'm not dumb. The way your sister looks at Sven... iba talaga eh. Is there something between them that I don't know?"
"Haven't you heard of the bro code?" He asked. "Sven authored that rule to prevent the four of us from dating one another's siblings. He won't possibly break his own rule, would he?"
"Ah. Oo nga. Not unless he wants to end your friendship."
"He once said he'd rather die than lose his friends. So let's not get ahead of ourselves."
He'd rather die than lose his friends. Sure.
We ended the conversation when Sven came back.
"Si Euphi?" Tanong ni Yuri sa kaniya.
"Kausap niya sila Denzel. Tara na?" Sven replied. Tumango ako at kinuha ang bag ko.
"Ako na." Sabi niya at saka dinala ang bag ko para sa akin.
Eventually, we all hit the road back to Pampanga. Sumabay si Euphi kay Yuri, si Dylan ay nasa backseat ng sasakyan nila Treb at Denzel. Magkasama naman kami ni Sven, at hindi nag-iimikan. I was so lost in my train of thoughts and was only pulled back to reality when he turned the music on.
It was a song by The Script— Nothing. One of my favorites, no doubt.
Nakatingin lang ako sa bintana habang pinapakinggan ang kanta.
They say a few drinks, would help me to forget her...
But after one too many...
I know that I'll never...Too much feels. This is why I like this band. They can make you feel something so vividly even if you haven't felt like that before. For example: being brokenhearted.
Napatingin ako sa kaniya nang bigla niyang nilipat ang kanta.
"Hey, bakit mo nilipat? I like that song." Saway ko.
