Veiled In Matrimonial Shadows

"Trending kayong dalawa ngayon ah?"

Nasa hapagkainan kaming lahat, kumakain dahil pareparehas na kaming mga gutom. Habang kumakain biglang nabanggit ni Blaire ang tungkol kila Irene at Mafheia, tinuro ni Blaire ang dalawa gamit ang kutsara niya, sumingkit ang mga niya habang nakaturo pa rin sa dalawa ang kutsa. Magkatabi kasi kami nila Irene at Mafheia kaya hindi nahirapang ituro silang dalawa ni Blaire gamit ang kutsara.

"Oo nga pala, trending ulit yung movie niyong dalawa ha? Yung wlw movie niyo, ang daming edit nung making out scene niyong dalawa!" Sofia joined the conversation.

"Tangina kadiri!" Mura ni Irene na halatang diring diri dahil sa panutukso nila Blaire.

"FheiRene pala ship name niyo ha, pa autograph naman po! Fan niyo po ako, grabe po yung mga kissing scene niyo sa movie niyo, si ate Mafheia po nangangagat ng labi at baba, si ate Irene naman po ang aggressive humaik—" hindi natapos ang sasabihin ni Seraphine when fheia cut her off.

"Please stop, nandidiri ako kapag naalala ko yon!" Pagpigil ni fheia sa dapat ay sasabihin ni Seraphine na inaasar silang dalawa.

"Mandiri kayo please!" Sabi pa ni Irene.

Tinawanan silang dalawa nila Blaire dahil sa way ng pagpigil nila, ang mukha nung dalawa ay namumula na dahil naalala nila kung paano nila gawin ang mga making out scenes nila sa movie na 'yon. Mafheia and Irene's being disgusted was obvious, they both held their lips while remembering the things they did in the movie with a disgust visible on their lips making the others laugh at them again.

I was just watching them quarrel in the table because it was always been our normal bond. They were all quarreling except for Solana, she's extra quiet today and I want to know why but I don't want to offend her... But I think it's a good thing that she's quiet right now or else they will all be in a not so good chaos. All of them were so good at pissing each other off, but today hindi nakikisali si Solana sa kanila, knowing Lana, hinding hindi siya papayag na matalo.

Typical friend group that was built since elementary days.

In our circle of friends, I am the most responsible and the only calm.

"Lana," I tried calling Solana but I think she didn't hear me.

"Sol"

"Solana.."

She still didn't hear me so I was left with no choice but to call her in her full name.

"Solana Paige Penelope Riviera." I called her in her full name.

"H-huh? Did you call me Art?" She asked me and I nodded.

The girls stopped quarreling when they heard me call Lana in her full name, they all looked at Lana who was earlier playing with her food. It's as if she doesn't have her appetite.

"Why are you so quiet today? Do you have a problem?" I asked Lana.

"Wala, I'm good Art. No need to worry, wala lang talaga ako sa mood ngayon." She gave me a smile before giving her full attention on her food.

I was not buying what Lana said but I just chose to stay silent and just finished my plate, I'm sure she doesn't want us to worry about her that's why I chose not to ask further more question. I understand that she doesn't wants to share what is happening to her that's why I didn't say anything anymore.

Just Lana saying she's fine and assuring us that she's good is enough, well I hope she is really fine and good. I really do hope she's doing well, she's the youngest among the group that's why I am very concerned to her.

She is our silent angel.

When I finished eating I told them I'll just go ready the master's bedroom, so pag akyat nila para makapagpahinga ay wala na silang poproblemahin kung pano nila aayusin ang bedroom.
