His Brain VS. Her Heart

Bersikulo Sais: Who are you, George?

HIS POV

Mag-aalas nwebe na ng gabi at hindi pa din ako kumakain. May sakit kasi si Manang Lot, kaya pinagpahinga ko. She's my Nanny, since forever. So definitely, she's been there since my birth.

What I'm gonna eat tonight? Hmmm.

I'll think I'll just eat outside. Delivery foods are not my taste this time. And besides, I want to breath some fresh air.

Nagmadali akong umalis ng mansion ko. But of course, nagpaalam ako kay Manang Lot. Oh I forgot to mention, my nanny has no idea with my condition. Call it disrespectful but I tried to enter and search her mind anything about my condition or something that my mom might had said to her.

The reason why I'm keeping her is that I know she has a pure heart. She loves me and her mind says so. I know. And she always prove it.

Ang alam ko wala na din siyang pamilya. Kasi simula pagkadalaga niya, sa pamilya ni daddy na siya nagtratrabaho. So, she is my only companion and comrade.

As I drive for my destination tonight, again I heard a lot of thoughts. Some are mourning, some are celebrating. I tried to push their thoughts away, but as I've said there is a product of pain everytime I do so. So I just let them enter and flood in my brain.

I stopped in a classy restaurant. I never ate in a cheap one. I am rich so I'll use my money for whatever I want. Easy logic here.

The waiter/crew who ushered me is a girl and I hate hearing her malicious thoughts. Tssk.

"Goodevening Sir. Welcome to La Feliz." she said sweetly.

On the back of her mind she's thinking like this.

"Mukhang ang swerte ko ngayong gabi. Ang gwapo gwapo ng lalaking to. And shocks! Napaka-amo at sexy ng katawan. Makuha nga number niya mamaya. Mayaman eh. For sure, jackpot ito!"

Tsssss. Bdtrp. I forgot to wear my eyeglasses. That thing helps me to hide a bit of handsomeness of my face. Atleast, I look nerdy with that. But tonight, It's not with me. So this slut, is making some move with me. Gross.

"I'll have graviolli, italian salad and one red wine." I just coldly said without looking at the menu.

"Are you sure that's everything you want Sir?" her flirtatious voice is too obvious.

"How about me Sir? Do you want to order me?"

F*ck that mind voice! Ugh!

"Yes that's all I want. So Please get lost." emphasizing the word lost.

She finally turned her back. But her mind is still lingering.

"Ay masunget. Sayang. Pero, di ako susuko. Jackpot to eh!"

I almost stand up and ready to leave the place. But I resist my urge.

Act normal, Logan. Don't let them feel. Don't let them see.

As I waited for my food, I heard an disturbing but interesting thought.

Hillary Monde is near this place. I can hear her mind. The reason why I could hear her easily even maybe she's a bit far is she's in my one of my class so her thoughts are already familiar to me. That's how my ability work. The more the people is familiar, the more its easy to search for their minds.

"Mumsy is so tagal! Nakakainis! Makapasok na nga!"

Nasa labas siya ng isang Coffee Shop na katapat ng Restaurant na ito. Ang arte talaga. Patuloy ko pa ding pinakinggan ang utak niya.

"I knew it! Mumsy is being bitch again! Ugh!"

So she's with her Lola, who happened to be the owner and president of our school. Madam Lourdes Monde. Ya, right. The Monde's owned the Pure Brain Academy. The name of our school. In short PBA.

"Annoying old lady. She always get what she wants. Oh! Is that George? Siya nga!" biglang nagbago ang emosyon ni Hillary ng makita yung George. Natuwa siya dito.

George? Sino naman yun? Medyo nilawakan ko pa yung pandinig ko. I am concentrating so I could hear them. I already reach Madam Lourdes' thoughts. (Lordey ang pronounciation) Her mind is irritated and annoyed. She simply wants a strong coffee with lots of sugar and creamer. Cliche! Weird old lady.

Naririnig ko na din ang mga utak ng ibang costumer. Medyo natatakot yung iba sa eskandalo. Pero yung iba natutuwa pa. Inaabangan ang mangyayari. How usual of them.

"Oh well, I think I know what to do." Hillary's mind said.

Ano namang plinapano nito?

"I'm sure she could answer her. Siya na ata ang pinakamatalinong nakilala ko."

And this is getting so much interesting. Pinakamatalino? Sa pagkakaalam ko ako ang pinakamatalino sa Pure Brain Academy. So, sino ang George na ito? Not a student of PBA, perhaps.

But where is his mind?

"Sir, here is your order."

My concentration was destructed by the sudden flirtatious voice of the waiter. Ugh! Nawala lahat ng pinapakinggan ko.

Kumain na ako dahil gutom na din naman talaga ako. I will search what's happening to that Coffee shop, maybe later. Especially that George dude na sobrang laki ng tiwala ni at bilib ni Hillary dito?

Who are you, George?
