Chry's Point of View
Kanina ko pa inoobserbahan itong si Heshiena. She's silent, and seemed distance herself away from others. Pero kung tinatanong siya, sumasagot naman siya. Her eyes were like an ocean, it's deep. Kapag tumingin ka sa mga matang 'yon, tila ba'y may humihila papunta sa kailaliman ng kalungkutan. Despite of those, there's still a hint of hope within her eyes.
She intrigued me.
"I'm in!" Napagulong ako sa aking mga mata nang marinig kong sumigaw nang malakas si Ace. "Basta libre niyo." He then laughed devilishly. Dahilan para sapakin ko siya sa ulo.
Napatingin ulit ako kay Heshiena. Sa mga oras na 'to, nakakunot ang kaniyang noo. She seemed teetering between two different courses. My guess, marahil ay kung sasama ba siya o hindi.
"Heshiena, are you in too?" sabik na sabik na tanong ni Violeta.
Of course, children of the goddess of beauty would be interested on going to the mall. And since Ace is here, mukhang may magiging ka-vibe na si Violeta sa mga kaartehan niya.
"But I have no―" Before she could complain, Violeta quickly grabbed her hand.
A scornful expression instantaneously plastered upon her face. But her scornful face disappeared when she saw Violeta's sweet smile. Ilang segundo lamang siyang nakatitig kay Violeta bago siya bumalik sa reyalidad. Seems like a simple gestures touches her heart.
Sa mga oras na 'to, naglalakad na kami patungong mall. The mall were located few meters away from the academy. Minutes have passed, we arrived. Nabaling ulit ang aking atensyon kay Heshiena. Her mouth fell half-open.
Pikit at dilat ang ginawa niya, habang nakatingin kung gaano kalaki ang mall.
"May tom and jerry merchandise kaya sila rito?" Napatingin kaming lahat kay Ace nang magtanong siya kay Violeta.
I silently scoff.
"Like seriously, Ace?" Napailing ako sa narinig mula kay Violeta.
"Huwag ka ngang mag-react ng ganiyan, Violeta. Nahiya naman ang barbie collection mo kay Ace." Tumatawang saad ni Fuego.
"Shut up, Fuego!" asar na asar na sigaw ni Violeta.
Dahil sa pamumula ng pisngi ni Violeta ay mas lalong tumawa nang malakas si Fuego. Violeta likes to collect barbie merchandise. Ace, on the other hand, like to collect tom and jerry. Like sister, like brother.
Great!
Well, they both really prove that they are siblings. They have the same taste when it comes of collecting stuff. Though, Ace is more like childish from head to toe. 'Yong parang showy siya at sobrang kulit. Malayong-malayo sa ugali ni Violeta.
"Really?"
Napamura ako sa sarili ko nang makitang nag-puppy eyes si Ace. Napahawak ako sa aking dibdib. The hell was that?
"Ugh! Fuego talaga!" Violeta growled.
I saw Violeta's eyes glowed, it's as if threatening Fuego to stop. Subalit, sa halip na matakot siya, tinawanan lamang niya ito. Hindi ko na lamang sila pinansin at piniling igala ang aking paningin sa kagandahan ng paligid.
Hanggang sa unti-unting nagiging visible sa paningin ko ang pigura ng isang aurai na kalalabas lang ng mall. Habang may dala-dala itong isang maliit na cartoon box.
"Excuse me," magalang na approach ni Ace.
Huminto ito sa paglipad at tiningnan si Ace nang nakangiti. "Yes?"
