Chapter 13

Ravaged Soul
Kabanata 13: Dear

"Congrats, Radcliff," I smiled and tapped his shoulders. Me, Paxton and Phyllis went to watch his graduation ceremony at kakatapos lang. Uncle Froid is here, too.

Radcliff smiled at me, "Thank you, ganda! Kayo na susunod!" Lumapit siya ng kaunti sa akin at inangat ang boquet ng blue roses, "Ikaw raw nag-arrange nito sabi ni Phyllis."

I nodded, "Pax said it's your favorite color and flower. Is it?"

He laughed and slowly shook his head, "Hindi. Pero salamat, ha. I appreciate it," Lumingon lingon siya, "Nasaan na sina Phyllis at Paxton?"

Lumingon rin ako at napatingin pa kay Uncle Froid na nasa malapit na sulok lang at may kausap sa cellphone.

"I don't know, maybe they're just roaming around. Although I don't know what for, nandito ka naman," I said.

He just shrugged and smiled, "Buti nakapunta ka. Si Phyllis kasi nung inaya raw ni Paxton sabi niya hindi pa raw nakakamove-on sa Greece trip niyo at ayaw pang lumabas-labas."

It's been exactly a week since we got back from our trip and true enough, si Phyllis panay ang sabi nagka sepanx raw siya at namimiss na sila mommy and the greek foods and greek men.

I laughed a bit, "She's just like that whenever we get back from vacation. Give it a little more time makakalimutan niya rin at titigil na."

"Where do you wanna eat? At nasaan na ba ang pinsan mo?" Uncle Froid said. Tapos na pala siya sa kausap niya sa phone at nakalapit na sa amin.

Nilingon ako ni Radcliff, muli akong umiling. He took his phone out, "Tatawagan ko nalang po."

I look around while Radcliff called Pax. I can't believe it's gaduation season at kami na ang gragraduate. Some who knew me waved and greeted me, may mga iilan pa akong nakitang batchmate ni Vroxx.

"Nasa gate na raw po sila, Tito," ani Radcliff.

Tumango si Uncle Froid and we went out na. We saw Pax and Phyllis talking to a few students near the gate. Napalingon si Phyllis sa amin at kumaway. I jokingly rolled my eyes as we approach them.

"Why are you guys here? Radcliff's graduation was inside," I said.

"Well, we got bored so we decided to roam around while the speaker was finishing his speech," ani Phyllis.

Sabay-sabay kaming naglakad na papunta sa parking lot. Uncle Froid has a driver at kasya naman kaming lahat sa SUV niya so we decided to use one car nalang. Uncle Froid is sitting on the passenger's seat, kami ni Phyllis sa pangalawa at si Radcliff naman at Pax ang nasa pinaka-likod.

"I made a reservation at my friend's son's restaurant, by the way," Uncle Froid said.

"Where po?" Phyllis asked.

"Top Ridge is the name of the reastaurant, more like a restaurant and bar. It's on a building's roof top."

"Oh, I've been there, Uncle! It's really a nice restaurant, you're friend's with the owner's father po pala?"

Napalingon ako at nakinig sa kanila, I've been there too with my cousins before I left for Greece, I just didn't pay attention on the restaurant's name, only the hotel.

"Yes, I am also their company's supplier."

"I didn't know Thaddeus really opened a restaurant here, I thought he was bluffing," ani Paxton mula sa likod.

"Is he cute, Pax?" Nilingon sila ni Phyllis sa likod.

I smirked, "Yeah."

Bumaling sa akin si Phyllis at kumunot ang noo, "You know the guy they were talking about?"
