Matapos ang maulan na gabi ay ligtas silang nakauwing apat. At dahil tapos pasukan na naman ay kailangan nang bumalik ng Manila ni Morpheus dahil nga nasa kolehiyo na ito.
The whole Flavius family bade their goodbyes. It was still three o'clock in the morning so Psyche's not there. While Rodytte is still sulking for what happened back on the island so she's not present also.
So, if there's a perfect time to ask about what they talked about secretly in the cabin, now is the perfect time.
"Remember, August. Don't back down because of me or because of this guy here."Anito sabay pabirong sakal gamit ang braso kay Martis,"May the best man win."
"Tss, daya naman. Crush kayong dalawa ng babaeng yun, e! I resign."Reklamo ni Martis.
"Checkmate!"August and Morpheus said in unison. The three of them laughed.
Sasakay na sana ang huli sa pick-up truck nito nang may marinig silang sumigaw sa pangalan nito.
"Kuya Morpheus!"It was Rodytte.
She run towards him for a big and tight hug.
"Sabi na nga ba di mo ko matitiis, e. You brat."Pabirong saad ni Morpheus sabay pisil sa pisgi ng pinsang dalaga.
"I'll miss you. And I'm sorry. I will not talk to that asshole Zhao anymore."
"Good kid. He's a bad infuence. And be good to Psyche also, okay?"
"Hmmp. I'll try."Irap nito.
He patted her head. Finally, he went inside his truck and started leaving the premises but he saw Psyche standing a few meters away infront of his headlights.
He was about to ignore her presence thought his eyes were cheating on him. Turned out, she's real when she angrily called out his name. He immediately stepped on the brake. It made a screeching sound. No wonder why the Flavius family came running to his direction after turning their backs. But when they saw Psyche, they all sighed in relief.
"Huy Morpheus Flynn Flavius!"Malakas na ulit nito.
"Shit."Natatawang sambit ni Morpheus habang binaba ng husto ang
windshield. Naka-half open lang kasi ito kanina. Syempre nasa probinsya pa siya. Gusto pa sana niyang makalanghap ng fresh air kaso fresh sermon yata matatanggap niya.
Lumapit ito sa driver side. Nakapamaywang na hinarap siya ni Psyche. So adorable. I'm gonna miss this girl the most.
"Hi, Psyche. Good morning. Sorry akala ko hologram ka, e."Nakatinging bati niya. Ewan ba pero kapag ito ang kaharap niya nawawala ang lahat ng angas sa katawan niya.
"Buti huminto ka, snobero. Tss, akala ko nabakla ka na, e."Ingos nito.
"Huh? Saan?"He chuckled.
"Di ko matatanggap na isang dekada mo ko pinaasa tapos bigla mo kong di papansinin? no tawag mo dun? edi kabaklaan."She crossed her arms and bit her lips absentmindedly.
"Haha, I already told you. I'm sorry about the misunderstanding. It was my fault I didn't make it clear on my end."
Umirap ito.
"Hmp, okay apology accepted! Sige na. Mag-ingat ka. Just so you know, gumising pa ako ng maaga para maibalik 'to."She tossed him the necklace,"Oh, pakibalik yan sa may-ari. Pakisabi ang bait ng girlfriend niya kaya umayos siya sa buhay niya."
"Haha, right. Copy. Makakarating po mahal na prinsesa. Come here. I need a hug right now for a safe ride."
"You have a lot already."She jokingly said.
He looked at her intently.
"I...need your hug, specifically."
Bahagyang namula ang pisngi nito.
"Kainis. Kaya nafu-fall mga girls sayo, e. Smooth talker!"Then, she gave him the most warm hug in that cold morning.
It would have lasted for a minute if not because of certain someone, a jealous one.
"Sabi ko na nga ba. Ang daya!"Sigaw ni Martis.
Narinig pa nila ang pag "ssshh" ng lahat. Syempre natutulog pa yung ibang tauhan, no. Wala naman silang neighbors na magagambala pero respeto na rin sa mga natutulog pang hayup ng hacienda. XD
Habang palabas ng hacienda ay huminto ulit si Morpheus saglit.
He texted August.
"Pakihatid ang future girlfriend natin."
Nag-reply ito.
"What an ass."
Napailing nalang siya habang nakangiti. Napag-alaman niyang assumption lang pala lahat ng grandpa nila yung bfgf thing.
that night in the cabin...
"Okay, hindi naman sa ayaw ko or nagrereklamo ako no? Pero kaninong engkanto mo narinig ng balitang yan ha, Martis?"
"Kay Lolo!"
"Oh, shut up, Mart!"Sita ni August rito.
"Tapos di ka man lang pumalag, Señorito August?" manghang saad ni Psyche
"Why would I? It's convenient. Complaining is such a waste of breath. And besides it did help. That jerk showed no remorse for assaulting you but only until the moment he knew you're my girl. I bet he's having sleepless nights in a row."
"Tss, feeling almighty."
"So to make things straight? You and Psyche are not on any kind of romantic relationship right now?"Pangkaklaru ni Morpheus.
"Hell no."Si August.
"Aba-aba kung maka-hell no naman yung di pumalag. Duh?"
"Are you hurt by my words?"
"Insensitive."
"You're definitely hurt."
"Obvious ba?"
"Why?"
"Siraulo ka ba po? Señorito, sino ba naman pong babae ang matutuwa kapag harap-harapang i-deny with full of conviction pa?"
"In short, you have feelings for me."
"HELL, FUCKING NO!"
"Hey, it's not appropriate for a girl to cuss. It's not charming you know."
"WELL, BIG FAT I DON'T CARE!"
And the heated conversation went on and on... It was a day full of mess and no doubt... was the longest night he spent just talking.
