"What's your problem?" She asked, in her usual tone. Marahan ang takbo ng kotse habang naka-on ang stereo ng kotse. She is playing Radio by Lana Del Rey.
"Wala naman, Attorney.." Maagap na sagot ko dito.
"I don't think so. You've been quiet and it's really bothering me..." May lalim ang tono ng pananalita nito. Isang lihim na babala na hindi niya nagugustuhan ang ganitong klaseng katahimikan na namamayani sa pagitan natin.
"It is nothing, Attorney. It is just literally nonsense." I tried to brush her off. Pero tumitig lang ito ng seryoso sa'kin parang ipinapatimbang sa'kin ang mga sinasabi ko.
I sighed after looking at her through the mirror. Her eyes were same dark and mind-blowing.
"I know... I don't have the right but I am jealous... I feel so fucking jealous and I never felt this way... Ngayon lang ako nagselos. Pero ayoko ng pakiramdam na ito. I hate being jealous especially if I don't the right to be so," I ranted while looking straight ahead.
"No wonder why my dad is so fascinated with you. Thank you for your honesty, Ruelle..." She replied carefully. At tila tumakas yung kaluluwa ko nung banggitin niya ang pangalan ko.
And after that we remained silent. But this kind of silence is different. It feels like we are on the same page.
Nakarating kami sa kanilang bahay. Agad naman akong bumaba para pagbuksan siya ng pinto. At tumango lang ito at binigyan ako ng tipid na ngiti bilang pasasalamat.
Ang mahal talaga ng thank you niya. Sasusunod baka pabayaran na nga niya. Pero ayos na din.
Sabay kaming pumasok. She went upstairs when both of her parents requested to talk to me. At noong matatapos na ay bumaba na ito. Her dad asked her na ihatid ako palabas ng bahay. And she reluctantly agreed.
"Good night, Attorney." I said, softly.
"Likewise. Text me when get home." She replied while finally giving me a smile.
I saw her disappearing figure fading from my gaze.

Mabilis naman akong nagtipa sa cellphone ko ng text dito. Mamaya mapagalitan na naman ako kasi hindi ako nagsabi na naka-uwi na ako. May soft and sweet bone din pala ang isang Reverence Deil Villafuente. Wala lang sobrang cutie.

Yellow

Naguluhan lang ako sa naging huling reply nito. Kasi anong kinalaman ng yellow sa usapan naming dalawa? Ganito ba talaga makipag-usap ang matatalino nakaka-bobo?
Alam ko naman sa sarili ko na hindi ako bobo.
Pero bakit kapag kay Attorney nawawala lahat? Anong ibig sabihin nung yellow? Mukha ba akong unggoy? Kasi ang yellow ay kakulay ng saging?
