HIS POSSESSIVE AND DEMONIC WAYS

CHAPTER 2

Iya POV

Habang nag lalaro sina Lhane at Justine ng basketball naisip ko ang swerte nila sa isa't isa. Because even though Justine can't understand the attitude of Lhane and even though Lhane can't barely understand the mood swing of Justine I know that they both can't lose each other.

"Hey! Iya! Laro ka rin kaya?" sarkastikong sabi ni Lhane. Inirapan ko lang siya at kumuha ng Bola para magshoot.

Narinig ko kaagad yong malakas na tawa ni Justine nung hindi na ishoot yong bola. Kinuha ko yong isang bola at tinapon sakanya.

"Aray! Sorry na!" nagpeace sign siya. Inirapan ko siya at kumuha ng bola para magshoot ulit.

"Have you ever seen the sun?

After the heart break.

Have you ever seen the star?

After the word good bye?" pagkanta ni Lhane sa chorus ng After the heartbreak.

Maganda naman boses ni Lhane kaso minsan kasi pinaglalaruan niya lang. Yong tipong imbis na pagandahin niya, pinapapanget niya lang. Tsk.

"Iya, Ano favorite color ni Lhane?" tanong ni Justine

Kumunot noo ako. "Paanong hindi mo alam eh mas close kayo kesa saamin?"

"Madami siyang fav. Color eh. Ano ba yong mas trip niya?" kamot batok na tanong niya. Sus.

"Gray or lavender." Tipid na sagot ko.

"Iya ikaw na." masayang sabi ni Lhane. Kinuha ko yong mic.

"Ituloy mo tong laro." Saad ko

"I look up from the ground to see your sad and teary eyes
You look away from me
And I see there's something you're trying to hide, and I
Reach for your hand, but it's cold, you pull away again
And I wonder, what's on your mind?

And then you say to me you made a dumb mistake
You start to tremble and your voice begins to break
You say the cigarettes on the counter weren't your friends, they were my mates
And I feel the color draining from my face

And my friend said
"I know you love her, but it's over, mate
It doesn't matter, put the phone away
It's never easy to walk away
Let her go, it'll be alright""

Nakita kong naka focus silang nakikinig sa kinakanta ko. I'm thankful that I have Lhane with me.

""I know you love her, but it's over, mate
It doesn't matter, put the phone away
It's never easy to walk away
Let her go, it'll be okay
It's gonna hurt for a bit of time
So bottoms up, let's forget tonight
You'll find another and you'll be just fine
Let her go"

It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright" they clap as I finished singing

"Gutom na ako." Parang bata na saad ni Lhane.

"4:47 na rin pala. Tara kain muna tayo bago umuwi." Saad ni Justine

Ngumisi si Lhane saakin. Tsk.

"Hodori." Inunahan ko na si Lhane.

"Okay? Saan yon?" taking tanong niya.

"Session. Tara, Shaya will lead the way." Saad ko at nginisian si Lhane.

"Hmp!" singhal niya at inangklas yong kamay niya sa braso ni Justine saka naunang naglakad.

Lhane and I we're best friend since 9th grade. And now nasa 12th grade na kami. And within those years alam ko na kun kalian siya sinusunmpong ng pagkamoody niya. Halos alam ko na lahat sakanya. She's so open to me.

"Yes! Anjan na order natin. Bango!" excited na sabi ni Lhane

Napangiti kami ni Justine sa inasal ni Lhane. Ang jolly niya ngayon. Hindi siya naubusan ng energy.
