Chapter 37
I occupied myself for the next few days by continuing everything I have started. Barton is currently being questioned in the police station because of his past cases that are yet to be brought in court. I fastened Chelsea Myers’ removal from the university, which I think I have succeeded in since it happened. I also resumed my work until it's quarter done, and... yeah, I spent my remaining time trying to practice for our next performance...
"Rhys, ano? Kaya pa?"
Tagaktak ang pawis ni June nang matapos ang huling rehearsal namin bago ang actual performance mamaya.
"Of course."
Pinunasan ko ang pawis ko gamit ang puting face towel na nakasabit sa balikat ko. I then dropped my guitar on the floor, nangawit na sa kakabitbit.
"Wala, eh. Tinopak ang mga vocalists natin."
Hwang put his guitar down.
"Hindi raw ba talaga makakasama si Mae?"
"Sasama iyon." Sagot ni June. "Baka nag-uusap lang sila ni Derwick."
June doesn't know about her crazy girlfriend at ilag pa rin kami ni Maelle sa isa't-isa. God knows how much I tried to talk to her and explain things but she won't just listen.
So... now... I'm giving her space.
"Nagpa-practice naman daw mag-isa."
"Eh paano nga magwo-work ang gano'ng set-up? Eh 'di walang coordination ang vocals niya sa atin?"
"Oo nga, eh. Mabuti sana kung pure instrumentals lang at hindi live band."
At heavy times, she likes to isolate herself. Naiintindihan ko. Kaya kahit gustuhin ko man siyang puntahan, I chose not to.
This is how she copes.
"Tapos na ba tayo?" Walang buhay kong tanong.
They both looked at me.
"Well... I guess." June said. "May lakad ka ba o... klase?"
I shook my head.
"May dadaanan lang sa labas."
"Sandali lang ba? Baka kasi dumating iyong dalawa..."
"I'll be quick. Text me if there's more rehearsals."
Bago kami magsimulang tumugtog kanina, I was contacted by the studio where I sent my recordings. I asked them to put the songs into CDs. Each for one of them.
That was supposedly given to Maelle before we fought. Dahil ang sabi ko... manliligaw ako kahit kami na. I wanted to be consistent with what I said. I don't throw empty words.
Napatitig ako sa mga iyon nang makuha ko na ito. Three CDs. One for the Kitchie Nadal's song... one for Eroplanong Papel, at isa para sa Mundo.
I don't like singing so it will be hell to listen to them. Also, I'm still thinking if I will give it to her or not. Baka hindi niya magustuhan at mas lalo pang lumala ang galit niya sa akin.
"He will surely rot in prison, Mister Altarieno." Attorney Hale snapped out of my thoughts. The next thing I knew, I'm already in his office.
"Hmm..."
"He tested positive on his recent drug test." Ngumisi siya. "Plus... the previous cases filed against him are upped again. Rape..."
He handed the papers for each cases.
"Damage to property... and..."
He searched for another one.
"Probate issues." He shrugged. "If Miss Dixon would want to file another one... much better. That'll increase his sentence."
