Sea of Lights (Rich Daughters Series #4)

08

I was looking on the screen of my phone that is on my hand. Nakahiga ako sa kama ko at kanina pa nakatitig sa cell phone ko. Specifically, I am looking on Trent's IG.

Ibinigay na rin sa akin ni Fred ang cell phone number ni Trent in case raw na hindi active si Trent sa IG. Mayroon din daw siyang Telegram kung sakaling wala akong load. He also gave me his facebook account pero hindi raw active roon si Trent. Mostly sa IG daw talaga active si Trent.

Pumunta ako sa facebook timeline ni Trent at ini-stalk siya. Wala namang masyadong post. Two months ago pa ang huli.

Full name niya ang facebook name niya. Ang profile naman niya ay selfie. Magulo ang buhok niya habang nakasandal sa headboard ng kama niya. He's wearing a white shirt. Hindi siya naka-pose. Parang nag-selfie lang siya para may pang profile. Ang cover photo naman niya ay picture ng sunset sa dagat.

Bumalik ako sa homescreen at binuksan ang IG app ko. I went to message section. Nakita ko na nag-iingay sila Maya sa group chat naming apat. Ako, si Maya, si Zierah, at si Asha ang nandoon. Si Maya ang gumawa at siya na rin ang naglagay ng pangalan. I opened it.

ibongmaya: Vaccant ba natin the whole week @zieroosevelt?

zieroosevelt: Not really

heartofasha: Election Campaign kasi ng student council. May pasok pa rin tayo sa TechVoc oy

ibongmaya: Iboto niya si Red ha!

ibongmaya: iboto niyo ah @everyone!!!!

Nag-reply lang ng like sticker si Asha at Zierah. Ako naman ay hindi na nag-reply.

Bumalik ako sa message page at hinanap ang pangalan ni Trent. Siya naman ang pakay ko. Medyo matagal na rin ang huli naming message. It was the time when I was having a conversation with Artemi.

I went to his profile to stalk him. Hindi ako masyadong nagbubukas ng IG account ko nitong mga nakaraang araw kaya hindi ko rin nabibisita ang mga profile page nila.

I check his posts. Puro picture lang iyon ng mga sceneries. His latest post was when we went to Kuya Henry's place, Zierah's cousin. I scroll on that post to check it. It was a ten photo. Kasama ang pagsakay namin sa tren.

But the more shocking photo was the last one. Ako iyon. It was my stolen picture on the station. Iyon ang time na hinihintay naming dumating ang tren. I didn't know he took a picture of me. Hindi kita ang mukha ko pero halata naman na ako iyon.

My eyes went down on the caption and I was more surprise upon reading it.

svtrent the last photo was the best :)

Kumabog ng napakalakas ang dibdib ko nang mabasa iyon. He was pertaining about me. Ako ang nasa last photo ng post. What does he mean about it?

We are friends. He might just be treasuring our friendship. Siguro iyon lang. I don't need to overthink things.

I went back to message page and stare at his name on it. Pinag-iisipan ko kung ano ang ime-message ko sa kanya. I even breath a large amount of air before having a courage to type a message for him.

riley_alegre: hello

I sent.

riley_alegre: When will you turn your class into face to face?

I sent it again.

riley_alegre: How are you? I hope you're fine. Stay safe, Trent :)

Tumitig ako ng matagal sa message ko bago ko pinindot ang back. I put down my phone on my chest and stare at the ceiling. I close my eyes after a while.
