THE VIOLINIST (filipino-english) On Hiatus

8: A not so lonely tune

*Unnie, nag-update ako just for you and for the silent readers na rin.. I hope you like this one.. Mahalo for reading.. *

And hindi alam ni Reece kung kanino ba maiinis, sa sarili niya, kay Henri o kay Luca na mukhang nag-eenjoy sa nangyayari sa kanila ni Henri..

"Why didn't you tell me that she speaks Japanese?" naiinis na talaga si Reece sa kaibigan.

"You know that I speak five languages, you should have known better", natatawa pa rin si Luca sa reaction nang kaibigan..

"So, I should have assumed that you speak five languages and so does she?", tanong ni Reece, iritado pa rin..

"Oh, she speaks ten languages which includes three dead ones".. sagot ni Luca..

At nalaglag ang panga ni Reece sa nalaman...

"10 languages, saan naman niya gagamitin yun?" may paghanga sa boses niya..

"She was homeschooled and because she had a lot of spare time, she spent it on learning other languages. She's the one who taught me, Nippongo" natatawa na naman si Luca.

"You purposely didn't tell me Luca. You really are a Loca", naiirita man pero nakangiting sagot ni Reece sa kaibigan..

"Yeah, I did. Well, I know it's wrong, but I want to see the Henri she was before. Happy, kind, but with flare", Luca replied with longing in his face..

"I guess hindi ka nagkamali I'm really sure she's mad at me right now. Baka palayasin na ko nun ngayon din"

"Nah, I know my cousin,  a good natured kid. Mababaw lang naman yung argument niyo.Pero ano ba kasi yung ipapagawa mo sa amin kanina?", biglang iba ni Luca sa usapan nila..

"Ah, yun ba.. Malalaman mo din, Luca.. Soon."

"Ay, Mysterious", sagot ni Luca, may pilantik pa nang kamay na parang bading (no offense meant po).

"At, kailan ka pa nangibang bakod at sumama sa Federacion, aber?", panggagaya sa kanya ni Reece..

Para talaga silang mga bading kung mag-usap at umasta..

And they heard someone giggle... It's Henri, who's been watching their playful exchange...

"Henri, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...", panimula ni Reece..

"Nah, no harm done. Thanks anyway, it's the first time someone called me Impatient Girl", Henri replied grinning.

"Well, you were always patient cuz. But maybe Reece here, hit your bad side huh", biro ni Luca..

Siniko naman siya agad ni Reece, "Pinatawad na ko, gusto mo pang dagdagan ang kasalanan ko"..

at umalingawngaw sa gubat ang tawanan nila...

Mas malayo sa lake house ang Villa, mga 30 minutes travel din yun..

Nasa harap pareho sina Luca at Reece. Luca on the wheel..

Nasa likod naman si Henri..

"Any plans for tomorrow cuz?" tanong ni Luca kay Henri nang hindi lumilingon sa likuran..

Hindi ito umiimik.. Lumingon si Reece at nakita niya itong natutulog..

Parang bata, peaceful and lovely, but loneliness is written all over her face kahit tulog ito..
