A Mind Clouded By Sorrow

Chapter 9

Reunite

I was inside my room, scrolling on facebook. Sobrang boring kapag gabi na. Nang makarating kami ni Trey kanina ay dumiretso agad ako sa kwarto at hindi siya pinansin. Wala si mom and dad because they need to asikaso the business.

I decided to stalk Alu. I didn't know why but I got curious. I saw thousands of people following his account. He's that famous, huh?  Kakaunti lamang ang posts niya, mga anim.

"Aaaaaaa!!! Wala akong magawa!!!"

I shouted as I roll all over my bed. I stopped when I heard a knock on my door. I sat and bahagya kong inayos ang sarili ko.

"It's open! Get in!" I said, loud enough to hear from the other side of the door.

It slowly opened. Bumulaga sakin ang mukha ni Blaze. Wait. What?! Si Blaze??! He was roaming his eyes sa room ko.

"What the hell?! Anong ginagawa mo rito? Gabi na! How did you know where I live?"

"Easy, Z! Para naman akong kawatan base diyan sa mga tanong mo" he said as he walked in. Finally, he looked at my direction.

"So, ano nga?" I asked.

"Hindi ba't sabi mo ay dadalawin natin si lola ngayong weekend? Puntahan natin siya bukas na bukas! Miss na namin siya eh" he smiled.

That stopped me. I cleared my throat and forced myself to smile.

"y-yeah, we'll go to l-lola" he nodded.

I'm sorry, Blaze. I can't tell you right now because even I still haven't moved on from that.

"Tara, kain na raw" sabi niya at nauna na lumabas.

They will be sad once they find out. They were so close to lola even before I met them. Lalo na si Alu, si lola ang halos kasama niya noon dahil wala lagi 'yung parents niya.

I sighed. I know they'll understand.

I went to the dining room, and as expected, kumakain na si Blaze. Matakaw 'to eh. Umupo ako sa tabi niya at nag-umpisa na rin kumain.

"Where's Trey pala?" I asked.

"I don't know, kararating ko lang nung kumatok ako sa kwarto mo" he answered.

Blaze knows Treyton because they used to talk to each other about business when they were having a trip in England. Treyton is a big help especially when it comes to business. He's well trained not just by our company, but also by other big company.

"Nanay Imelda!" agad namang lumapit ang kasambahay. "Si Treyton po?"

"Ay naku iha, umalis ah. Hindi ba nagpaalam sa'yo?" Umiling naman ako bilang sagot. "Baka naman saglit lang, alam mo naman 'yon. Sige na at babalik na ako roon, gagawa ako ng dessert niyo" I just smiled.

"Where's tita and tito? Mag-isa ka lang pala madalas dito, dapat pala tinatawagan mo ako eh"

"Para saan naman?" I asked. I looked at him and raised my brow.

"Para masamahan ka, syempre! Si Z, mga simpleng bagay nalang tinatanong pa eh"

Whut the?!

I just rolled my eyes kahit hindi siya nakatingin. Busy siya kumain eh. I wonder where Trey is right now.

After eating, tumambay lang saglit si Blaze bago siya umalis. He told me that they would fetch me here around 4:00 am. Mas maganda nga na maaga kami umalis dahil malayo-layo ang San Ildefonso.
