Agenda 27

Drunk

Wala nang nagawa si Merida nang hilahin sya paalis ni Xign ng dancefloor. It's not like she desperately need to be in the party but there's something that made her want to come.

Xign.

Napailing na lang si Merida sa naisip.

Birthday kasi ni Xign, you dimwit. Sabat ng isip nya.

Stop it, brain! You're here to find Martina!

Nang marinig ni Merida ang usapang birthday nito ay wala sa isip syang pumasok sa venue. And since they were all busy having fun, walang nakapansin sa pagpasok nya. After all, it is the night to get reckless while they can.

"Get in." sabi ni Xign tsaka binitawan ang braso nya at binuksan ang pinto ng sasakyan.

Hindi nya napansin na nakarating na pala sila sa parking lot. Napangiti sya sa plaka ng asul na Lamborghini nito.

"I said, get in." sabi ni Xign na may diin ang bawat salita kaya wala na syang nagawa kundi sumakay na lang sa kotse nito.

Nang nakasakay na si Xign sa driver's seat ay di maiwasan magtanong ni Merida.

"Bakit mo ko ihahatid?" nang hindi sya sagutin ni Xign ay nagpatuloy sya, "May susundo naman sakin tsaka sasabay naman ako kay Ate mamaya kaya di mo na ko kailangan ihatid."

"Seatbelt." yun lamang ang sagot ni Xign still in a cold tone.

Sinunod pa rin ito ni Merida tapos inistart na ni Xign ang engine, "Ok lang naman ako dun tsaka—"

"Address." Xign asked, no, demanded, eyes still on the road. Merida pouted and answered him.

"Mettre en Valeur." 

Her eyes automatically drifted to Xign tightening his grip on the steering wheel while clenching his jaw. It confused her.

Why?

--

"Mettre en Valeur." 

Xign's mind became chaotic at the mention of the place.

Ales used to live there, damn it.

He didn't notice his knuckles turning white in clenching the steering wheel. Kung hindi lang nya naalalang kasama nya si Merida ay baka ibinangga na nya ang sasakyan nya sa poste without a care.

He immediately tried to calm down when he saw her expression.

"Sorry." he said.

Sorry is never a that suits Xign Alfonso Skull.

His peripheral vision shows Ales but the one beside him is Merida. And it's killing him. But he can't leave her alone there.

This is so fucked up.

The moment na bumaba si Merida ng sasakyan nya ay pinaharurot na nya ang sasakyan before she could greet him "Happy Birthday"

Hindi namalayan na patungo sa isang pamilyar na lugar ang tungo nya.

Near a cliff stands an abandoned mansion forgotten by time.

The grass is already thick and high. Vines grew from the tarnished walls that used to be white. The windows and doors are barred, the only thing that hasn't changed are the memories made in this place.

Memories that will never be forgotten.

The rusty gates creaked when he opened it, but without hesitation, he still went in.
