Campus Royalties (On Going)

Chapter Seventeen: Rumors

Rumours:

Ynumi pov.

What a blasting day! I can feel the great sensations of this day ahead of us. Today is Friday, a great day for all the students because we can finally rest for at least two days. It's not bad, though.

I yawned while walking down the stairs. I even do some stretching. I had a good night's sleep. No worries or stress.

Nang makababa ako agad kong naamoy ang mabangong aroma na niluluto ng isa sa kasamahan ko rito, which is my best of friends. Hindi ko lang alam kung sino sa tatlo ang nagluluto. Feel ko lang si Althea. Siya lang naman kasi ang madalas na nasa kusina, mahilig kasing magluto at mag imbento ng kung ano-ano.

But I made a great mistake with my guessing. It was not Althea, but Yane. Woah. She's actually cooking again. Impressive. Lately, i noticed the change of Yane's behavior.

"Tsk. Come here and help me put this food on the table. Don't just look at me." Malamig na wika nito.

"Wow. You're really improving, Yaney." Malaking ngiti ang binigay ko kasabay ng pagkuha ko sa mga pagkain na inihain ni Yane.

"I just woke up early."

"Hindi kita naramdaman, ah."

I actually woke up when I heard footsteps or something. Sensitive, kasi 'yung tenga ko kapag nakakarinig ng tunog kahit mahina lang ito.

"Ansarap ng tulog ninyong tatlo ni hindi nga kayo nagising ng nagpatugtog ako ng musika." she beamed.

I laughed without any humor. Tsk. This is not what we actually expect for Yane's improvement. She's not like this before, she used to lay her body on her bed or play the sting of her guitar in the morning. She doesn't want to cook breakfast or dinner for us.

Maybe you think that she's selfish or lazy, but she's not like that. She has a reason, and we keep it to ourselves because that is what she asked for.

A few minutes later, our two friends finally came down to join us for breakfast. Their faces were shocked, like mine earlier, the moment I saw Yane in our kitchen.

"Woah. Your actually cooking... Huh" Hindi makapaniwalang sambit ni Althea ng mahimasmasan ang kaniyang diwa.

"Does it matter?" curious na tanong nito ng nilapag ang huling niluto sa mesa.

Althea laugh bago umupo katabi ko. "It is really"

"Masarap lang siguro ang tulog ni Yane or maganda ang mood, right?" sigunda pa ni Shaina. Nilakihan niya si Althea ng mata, nagpapahiwatig na huwag nang magsalita pa tungkol rito.

Na gets naman agad ni Althea ito kaya nag simula nalang itong sumandok at kumain ng may 'di makapaniwala.

Kahit ako. I didn't really expect it. Ito 'yung kauna-uhanang pinagluto kami ulit ni Yane. Noon madalas niya kaming pinagluluto pero simula nang may nangyari 'di na siya muli pang nagluto, not until this day.

Napa-ismid ako sa iniisip. Hindi ko na dapat iniisip ko, Yane want us to avoid thinking about that things. She move on and we need to.

"Kumain ka na, Numi bago ka maubusan dahil sa katakawan ng dalawa. Tsk." Yane made me go back to my senses.

And she was right. Ang lakas kumain ngayon ng dalawa halos mapuno ang kanilang plato ng pagkain. Jusko, anong nangyari dito?

Maybe. Just maybe, they really miss the taste of Yane's cooking.

"Tapos na ang pinapagawa ko sa inyo?" Yane said out of the moment.

Nabilaukan ako sa tanong niya. Mabilis naman akong binigyan ni Althea ng tubig.
