Nakahiga ang dalaga sa loob ng kwarto ng may kumatok ..
Elle: hi dee..pwedeng pumasok?
Tumango lang ang dalaga..
Huminga ng malalim si Elle...masaya dahil kahit panu tumitingin na sa kaniya ang pinsan at paminsan minsan ngumingiti din..
Elle: sorry..( mahinang saad matapos nitong umupo sa carpeted floor paharap sa dalaga)
Tumingin ang dalaga..na tila nagtatanong kung ba’t ito nag-sosorry..
Elle: the time you found us at the file room we were checking your files actually..that’s why I am apologizing....
Di na nito natapos ang sabihin pa sana dahil sa biglang nagsalita ang dalaga
Devon: I know..
Elle: what do you mean you know...
Devon: figures..
Elle: oh that’s why only an EER was there..
Npahalakhak ang dalaga dahil sa mukha ng pinsan..At dahil naalala rin niya ang mukha ni James at ang pgakahimatay nito
Devon : you look funny y’know..
Napahalakhak na din si Elle..she miss this..
Elle: are we ok now?
Devon: why aren’t we ok before( nakataas ang kilay na saad)
Elle: well..ahmm...
Devon: sorry...I don’t know what really happened 10 years ago..why I was kept in the dark..why you were missing..so many why’s?I even thought I was an orphan or parentless already..I was forced to live alone and learned on how to handle our business there..at the young age, my young mind can only comprehend such a thing..that I was alone already ..but then I found out..your all breathing and happy without me..( napatawa ng pagak ang dalaga, at dama ni Elle ang pait,bigat at sakit ng pinagdaanan nito)
Elle: oh..( di niya alam..kung mahirap ang pinagdaanan niya mas mahirap pala ang kay Devon)
Devon: but I survived..i’m good now..you don’ have to pity on me..
Elle: no...
Devon: ah you don’t have to lie..don’t worry i’ll join your group.. its the reason why your here right?but don’t expect me to be too friendly..I’m not used of having friends..i never had one..
Bakas ang lungkot sa bawat kataga nito..gustong maiyak ni Elle..ganun ba ang naging epekto sa pinsan niya..sinara nito ang mundo para hindi makapasok ang sinuman..sana magawa ulit nitong buksan ang sarili para sa kanila..
DEVON POV
Ayoko ng masaktan, pagod na din ako na laging pinagtatabuyan..mas mabuti na yung ganito na lang..mag-isa atleast di na ako masasaktan pag itinaboy ulit ako..pero kung magiging Masaya ka Elle susubukan kong kaibiganin ang mga kaibigan mo..pero panu nga ba?di ko alam panu makipagkaibigan.way back in france they make friends with me coz of the benefits they can get..so I refused of having one..I am not breathing just to be used by them..if only Matt didn’t left me..
