CHAPTER 22: IRISH
SORCHA'S POV
"Parang pasan natin ang daigdig, ah? Miss mo na ang irog mo?"
Masama ang tingin na ibinigay ko Arcane na napangisi lang sa naging reaksyon ko. He's been teasing me all day kahit na ilang beses ko ng pinaliwanag na mali ang pagkakaintindi nila sa nakita nila kaninang umaga.
It's that golden retriever's fault! Hindi ko alam kung naramdaman niyang papahirapan ko siya buong araw o talagang swerte lang na may kailangan siyang puntahan ngayong araw na ito kaya nagawa niya akong takasan.
"Saan nga ba pumunta ang isang 'yon?" tanong ng lalaki.
"Ewan ko. Kung saan man siya nandoon, doon na lang siya bago ko maisipang i-autopsy siya for fun."
Tumawa si Arcane na parang aliw na aliw siya sa kamiserablehan ko. He probably finds it entertaining because I usually don't care about my surroundings before.
"He really could rile you up, huh? Normally dedma ka lang sa mga bagay-bagay kasi may sarili kang mundo."
"Mahirap dedmahin si Daze."
"Bakit?" singit ni Khione. She was busy working but it wasn't surprising that she's listening. Mga tsismoso at tsismosa nga. "Because when he's around, your heart is fluttering and you can't think straight?"
I narrowed my eyes at her, and she and Arcane chuckled. "Hindi. Dahil numero unong papansin ang isang 'yon. I don't think even the most patient person can ignore that man because he's like a persistent bug."
"So no heart flutters and you can still think straight when he's around?" Khione pressed.
"The only time my heart will flutter is when I'm about to have a heart attack, and the only moment that I wouldn't be able to think straight is if I suddenly got a brain tumor."
Parehas na napa-hmm sila ni Arcane na para bang hindi sila naniniwala sa akin.
"Eh bakit parang may pinagdadaanan ka riyan?" tanong ni Arcane.
Tinuro ko ang laptop ko. I was looking at Green Pulp Farm's Facebook page. They have a bazaar in Manila, and I want to go, but I can't because I have a lot of things to do. Bakit naman kasi ngayon pa? Hindi ba pwedeng pagkatapos na lang ng kasunduan ni Daze sa Dagger para matiwasay na ang buhay ko that time?
Magkasabay na nag-ahh ang dalawa. They both know my love for my plants. Well, everyone does.
"Want me to cover for you?" Arcane offered. "Sigurado naman akong papayagan ka ng mga boss natin na umalis."
"Sa traffic ng Cavite at ng Manila? Hindi na ako aabot."
Hindi ko rin naman maiiwan basta ang trabaho ko. I trust everyone here when it comes to being great at their jobs, but we're all busy, and I don't want to put another on their plates when theirs are as full as mine.
