Why's and Not's

Drink for the day: Affogago (cf) - dessert-like coffee. A scoop of vanilla ice cream in the middle because why not? Everyone'll desert you anyways.

Barista Tip: If you feel like an Irish, kick add a shot of Frangelico liqueur into the mix. But you're not an Irish so feelingero ka lang.

Even with the warning you guys just stand strong, huh?

And I don't know, their menu keeps getting bizzare each day. Thank Ryen for the horrible yet creative ideas.

Anyways!

"Nigerias, ano gusto n'yong ulam?" Tanong ni Jorge sa mga kaibigan na nagpapahinga sa Staff Room, nagsara sila ngayong tanghali dahil mahina ang daloy ng customers. Probably because it's monday and probably because it's 12:00 p.m.

Mahina ang tao kapag ganitong oras at weekdays, idagdag mo pang sobrang init ng panahon. Sinong magbabalak magkape?

"Kahit ano," Danilo said and continued scribbling on his paper.

"Kayo bahala," Reinier followed.

"sINIGANG!" Apparently si Ryen lang ang may ganang sumagot ng maayos. Nakataas pa ang kanang kamay na parang batang sumasagot sa pop quiz.

Umiling si Jorge at napangiti. Basta talaga pagkain hindi pinapalagpas ni Ryen. Well that's mostly because Ryen really likes Jorge's cooking. To the extent where he'd rather eat it than his mother's.

Oops, don't tell her I said that. You see Ryen's Parents and I were a bit close.

Sembreak na ni Ryen, kaya naman mas marami na s'yang panahon tumambay sa Café nila. I mean, magtrabaho.

"Nier, ba't ang serious mo? May nangyari ba?" Tanong ni Ryen sa nakatulalang Reinier.

"Iniisip ko lang kasi—"

"May isip ka?" Ryen cut him off. Reinier glared at him.

"Wala namang problema pero nalulungkot ako. Kaya iniisip ko kung bakit nalulungkot ako," he finished.

"Inaatake ka nanaman ng depression mo?" Danilo asked. He didn't stop writing.

Ryen's eyebrows twitched. This is happening too often. Ryen's getting annoyed by little things. Why is he being so sensitive? This is not like him.

Besides, Reinier, doesn't have depression.

This is what some people don't get. Just because one day you become tired of everything and you suddenly gets sad for no reason at all, doesn't mean you have depression.

Depression is a mental sickness and not a term for a one day trial loneliness.

Let's not mock people with real depression. Okay? Okay.

"May nangyari ba sa bahay n'yo?" Ryen asked.

"Hindi ko alam, nasa CR ako maghapon e."

"Hangal."

Reinier laughed and patted Ryen on the shoulder. He smiled at him like he's saying he's okay.

Ryen stared at him for a considerable moment before nodding hesistantly.

Again, Danilo noticed it but didn't say anything.

Seriously, what does this two scoundrels have that they're keeping to themselves?

While they eat, let me tell you how Reinier became suicidal.

Not really "became" I don't know? He's already like that when he and Ryen met.
