CHAPTER 37: PROOF
SORCHA'S POV
"Are they dating?"
"I would have said no easily before. Pero parang..."
Parehas na natigilan si Misae at si Khione at napatingin sa direksyon ko nang lumabas ako sa laboratory. There's a guilty look on both their faces, and they quickly hide whatever they're looking at on the monitor in front of them.
Tahimik na kinuha ko ang wallet ko. Balak kong pumunta sa cafeteria para bumili ng pagkain ko sandali para makakain na ako at makabalik na agad sa trabaho.
"Sorcha?"
Nilingon ko si Misae. "Yes?"
"There's a new famous bar in Silang and we're going to surprise Torryn for her birthday. Alam mo namang kalahati ng pagkatao no'n work work lang pero may kalahating nakatago na party girl." Naging alanganin ang ngiti niya nang may maisip siya. "But we know you're not into places like that, so it's okay if you can't go."
She's right. I don't like crowded and noisy places where there's a lot of drunk people since I don't like to drink myself. Madali kong matatanggihan ang pag-aaya niya dahil alam ko namang naiintindihan nila. Just like before, when they invite me, I could just send a gift or my share for the party they're going to give the celebrant.
"Anong oras?" natagpuan ko ang sarili kong tanong sa kanila.
Dumaan ang pagkagulat sa mukha nila. That makes both of us, because I even surprised myself as well.
I just wanted a different scenery. Kahit saan ako pumunta ay naaalala ko ang isang taong dalawang linggo ko ng hindi nakikita. Not only was Daze busy with his parents' case, which is now already in court, he's also busy with his work schedule, which is now catching up to him since the news about his family and how he is helping the victims family only made him more famous than he already is.
He's busy, but he always makes sure that there's not even a day that he doesn't message me. Nagpapadala rin siya noong una ng mga pagkain pero sinabihan ko ang manager niya na pigilan si Daze.
Daze didn't stop reaching out to me. I did.
Of course, I didn't do it entirely. I check on him through his manager and through my brother, who's still in contact with him. I read all his messages that don't seem to be ending soon, even though I rarely reply.
I know that what's happening with his family will never be easy for him, but I'm glad that despite everything, he's slowly going back to the life he had before all of this happened.
"Around nine pa siya." Alanganin napakamot sa ulo niya si Misae. "Umm... Daze was invited too."
Hindi ko ipinakita ang totoong reaksyon ko sa sinabi niya at sa halip ay nagkibit-balikat lang ako. "Daze became everyone's friend when he was here. There's nothing wrong with inviting him."
