Painted Sky

Cyan gave me a day off after our trip from Laguna. Hindi niya na rin ako tinanong kung bakit ako umiyak after that phone call from Wendy. Hindi ko lang talaga maiwasan na maging sensitive kapag nababanggit si mommy. But he was really acting weird pagkatapos nung nangyare sa car niya. He was getting to kind and considerate.

Anyway, things are going smoothly. Kahit papano napagsasabay ko naman yung part time ko pati yung studies ko. School works are getting much tougher pero naging breakout ko yung pagiging part time assistant ni Cyan. He was fun to be with pero minsan hindi ko lang talaga maintindihan kung bakit ang bilis niya magpalit ng persona.

One thing is for sure, mahirap siyang galitin. We became friends na rin kahit papano kasi halos mahigit isang buwan na akong nagpapart time sa kanya tapos madalas pa kaming magkasama. At some point, mas tumitindi na yung nararamdaman ko para sa kanya. Pwede naman siguro ako magka-crush sa kanya diba? Lokohin mo sarili mo na crush lang yan.

Naging tambay na ako sa studio kaya nakikita kong naging madalas sa pagdalaw ni Amber sa Kuya niya, trying to convince him to go back home pero sadyang ayaw lang talaga ni Cyan.

They are really close and it seems na maganda yung relationship nila as siblings, wag nga lang mabanggit ni Amber yung nagpapainit sa ulo niya. Which is ang umuwi na sakanila, and makipag-ayos na sa daddy nila.

I was busy doing nothing here sa studio niya. Pinapunta niya lang ako dito para magbantay. Sembreak na kasi and I have two weeks na bakasyon kaya I've got all the time para tumambay dito.

Daddy invited me to go back home or just stay kung asan ang kapatid ko but I declined since mas gusto ko dito. I was never comfortable whenever I'm staying with my dad's family. Medyo intimidating kasi yung asawa niya and I can really feel na hindi niya ako gusto.

It was sad to think na mas at home pa ako sa unit ni Cyan kesa sa mismong bahay namin, este bahay ng daddy ko sa Tagaytay.
The past month naging abala kami sa pag-aayos nitong unit niya. He's selling some of his paintings na kasi and he opened this studio for his buyers pero small portion lang ng place kasi hindi naman full fledged yung ginawa naming pag-aayos.

May nagdoorbell and I immediately opened the door and to my surprise, it was Zoey.

"Oh hi there. It's been a while since we last saw each other."

"Hi Zoey, pasok ka."

I invited her inside the studio and her eyes wondered around.

"Where's Cyan?"

"He's in his room and he's busy. Nagbilin din siya na huwag siyang istorbohin."

"But can you call him even for a while. I need to talk to him kasi."

Iniwan ko siya sa mini living area then I headed towards his work room. I knocked muna sa pinto since he's very picky. Ayaw niyang nagugulo siya when he's doing a masterpiece. He opened the door and he looks irritated. May mga pintura din around his face pero hindi naman yun naging kabawasan sa pagiging pogi niya. Peste! Hindi ko dapat siya tinititigan eh.

"Diba sabi ko sayo wag mo ko istorbohin? What do you want?"

"Zoey's in the living room and she wants to talk to you daw."

Inalis niya yung apron niya and he handed it to me tapos pumunta na siya sa living room.

"What do you want Zoey?"

"Is that how you greet your friend?"

"The last time I checked, we were not even friends and I'm busy right now. I don't have the time in the world para makipagkumustahan sayo."
