Ex's and Oh's

Drink for the day: Doppo (cf) a double depresso shot dahil hindi pwedeng super sad lang, dapat super duper mega ultra very sad.

Barista Tip: No.

Hello dear readers! I assume you hated what I did last chapter, you know, cutting it off just like that? I liked what I did, your reactions are priceless.

Anyhow, let's proceed to what happened next, I'll tell it to you in real time.

"Reirei, yoohoo!" Jorge knocked on the door.

Ryen began thinking things like, if Reinier wasn't inside the bathroom, where could he be? Where could a diarrhetic, Sinigang induced guy be?

Can you guess it?

There are four possibilities on this account. One: He locked himself in the bathroom to commit suicide, and is already dead. Two: He fell asleep on the bowl (which is more likely to happen if you ask me). Three: He wasn't inside the restroom in the first place. And fourth: He's with them all this time.

The fourth one contradicts to the last chapter so let's cross it out, now we're left with three options.

The correct answer is . . .

"Rei—" Jorge's knocking was cut off when the door opened.

"What?" Isang gulat na Reinier ang lumabas sa banyo. Looking at them like they've harassed him.

"Ayos ka lang ba?"

"Ba't ang tagal mo sa loob?"

"Nuginagawamu?"

Hulaan n'yo kung sino 'yung nagiisang concerned.

Mali kayo.

"Pagtapos ko kasing tumae, nasuka ako, kaya hindi ako makasagot." Napakamot naman sa ulo n'ya si Reindeer.

Oh, so everything we thought of was wrong.

*Shrugs*

*Sips tea*

Oh, well!

"Bakit? Hindi naman panis 'yung sinigang 'diba?" Jorge asked suspiciously.

"Hindi naman lagi sa pagkain ang dahilan," Danilo said. Shaking his head.

"Buntis ka?" Ryen, are you on drugs?

"Oo, Kim, buntis ako." Reinier gave him a deadpanned stare and sighed.

"Si Rairai ama, yieeee, landede," Jorge teased.

"Yah, ama, ama kill you right now."

"Pikon, pikon, pikon, pikon," Jorge said it more times than I initially wrote co'z it's tiring, which made Ryen glare at him.

"Manahimik nga kayong dalawa." Danilo massaged his temple and fixed his glasses. "Reirei, may gusto ka bang sabihin?"

"Hindi mapakali?" Jorge followed.

"Hindi makatingin?" Ryen added. "Sana'y 'wag mo na 'tong palipasin," he sang.

Reinier blinked before laughing. What in the raging seas are they babbling about? Y'know OPM songs are a bop but I don't think this is the best time for it.

But when is the best time for everything?

How do you even know? When you're finally ready? Ready for what? Truth? Intervention? Do I even make sense? But do I have to?

"Okay, pero pwede bang 'wag tayo rito sa banyo? Medyo ano e." Reinier chuckled then sighed again. He's sighing so much even I gets worried.

After a few moments in front of the lavatory, they decided to talk it out after they finish work. They opened up shop and left all the problems inside the staff room.
