A Better World With You

Chapter 45

I find another piece of Justine's puzzle, that is if I'm right. But it is definitely possible. Tita Zyriel was once a psychologist and the kid...the kid that usually comes to their house was him. So it was him, it was Justine. It could be, right?

"Tito." I called while we're now walking inside the hotel.

"Hmm?" He hummed in response.

"I'm just curious since you and tita Zyriel knows Justine, is the kid that usually goes to your house was—" It is already just one word and tito cut me off as soon as he gave me an answer.

"Sí, fue él. (Yes, it was him)" He answered and my curiosity was eased by that one simple answer.

I remembered when he told me that he would like to actually go back to the psychologist he mentioned but he wasn't able to find her anymore. I just realized that it was the time when tita Zyriel died due to that sensitive reason and every one of us decided to move to a compound house to assure everyone's safety and be able to move on completely because the compound we've been living before has many memories of tita.

"But how did tita figure out that we're a match?" I asked again and my tito smirked.

"She didn't figure it out. She just felt that you two could be a perfect match because she believes that you two could be each other's better world. You may not realize it now, but have you noticed that she always talked to you when you were young, especially when you're pressured to get your mom's validation?" I nodded as those memories are still clear in my mind. How could I forget those? Tita always knew the right words to say whenever she's trying to comfort me.

"She's giving you a free therapy, George. She listens to both of you and as she sees the relativeness of your problems, she is hoping that someday you would be able help each other out. Your tita is just a bit crazy on the part when she manipulated Justine to become an engineer because she wanted you and Justine to coordinate as Engineer and Architect in the future. She acted like a cupid on those moments, especially when she find out that you have a crush on Justine before."

Nang malaman ko ang lahat ng iyon kay tito ay parang gusto ko mabuhay ulit si tita at pilitin siyang sabihin sa akin ang lahat ng sikreto niya. Who would've knew that tita will do that? Too naive and innocent as a child. Sana naging mature agad ako para alam ko ang mga pangyayari. Tsaka 'yung pagkakaroon ko ng crush kay Justine noong bata ako, paano niya naman nalaman iyon e hindi naman ako nagsasabi.

She is indeed a psychologist. She reads other people's behavior well. She can manipulate our minds too. Such a skilled one.

"Buenos Días, Señor Mercedes! Qué habitación vamos a tener esta vez? (Good Morning, Sir Mercedes! What room are we getting this time?)" The young receptionist asked as if they already communicated to one another many times.

"Buenos días a ti también! Llevaré a la habitación 817 para esta gente, por favor. (Good Morning to you too! I'll be taking Room 817 for these people, please.)" He said. The receptionist understood the assignment and immediately passed the key to my tito. A luggage carrier suddenly came and helped us carry our bags as we head towards our room.

"Gracias!" He added. Once he got the keys he also decided to guide us on our way to our room which located in the 8th floor.

"Por qué no trajeste a Justine contigo? (Why did you not bring Justine with you?)" He asked as we got inside the elevator.

"Él vendrá aquí justo después de terminar lo que tiene que terminar. (He will come here right after he finished what he has to finish.)" I replied.
