Rains of Darkness (Celebrity Series #2) [EDITING]

Darkness 32

Chapter 32

Just Crush

Binabagabag pa rin ako niyon ng ilang araw. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. I know that shouldn't be my concern. Si Arvie naman ang ipapakilala, hindi ako. That's why I don't understand why it's always seems bothering me the whole time.

Mabuti na lang at medyo nabawasan ang pagiging concern ko roon noong may bago akong kinahiligan. Still introduce by of course, the diligent Arvie. He's so wide reader that I think there's no book he didn't know. Over exaggerating but he really reads a lot. Especially about arts and business books.

"Try to read Bo Sanchez, Paulo Coelho and Robert Kiyosaki books about financials. Their books lead to good start."

Kung hindi pagbo-boxing, paintings or car races, ito ang pinagkakaabalahan niya palagi. I'm into reading too but not as wide as he. Nakakamanghang sa kabila ng pagiging busy niya'y nagagawa niya pa ring imanage ang oras sa lahat ng nakahiligan.

"About financials? Hindi naman ako masyadong mahilig doon."

"That's why give it a try to read. Baka makahiligan mo na." He smirked.

Naningkit lamang ang mga mata ko. I pouted and glanced to his bookshelf again. Kasalukuyan kaming nasa library ng bahay nila ngayon at dahil first ko pang nakapasok, ignorante pa ako sa napakaraming libro na naroon. Marami rin naman kaming nakaimbak na mga libro sa Manila pero puro tungkol sa politics lahat. Not really on my interest. I rather read romance novel than that.

Puro makakapal at hard bounded na libro ang nasa bookshelves nila. It really caught my interest especially when there's one shelf bounded only for all arts and paintings books and brochures. Doon agad ako napadpad at mabilis na naghalungkat doon. Iyon nga lang habang naghahalungkat ako, panay din ang promotions niya sa mga business books.

He makes it sound too interesting kaya sa huli'y napapatigil na lamang ako at nakinig sa kanya.

"What's this book all about?" tanong ko at ipinakita sa kanya ang nakuhang libro.

He smiled. "It's all about ways of how to love. It's one of my favorite novel by Antoine de Mello."

"Is this a romance novel?"

"No. It's all about false beliefs of humankind."

Tumango ako at ibinalik ang libro sa lalagyan. Bumunot ulit ako ng isang may kakapalang aklat at ipinakita sa kanya.

"And this?" tanong ko at binasa ang aklat.

Isang sulyap lang ang iginagawad niya sa libro bago muling inabot iyong mga hard bounded na nasa itaas.

"It's The Count of Monte Cristo. About betrayals and sacrifices."

"And this one?"

"Bad Blood by Linda Fiersten?"

I licked my lower lip. "Yes."

"It's about crimes and tunnel explosions that creates big problems at New York times. That's somehow connected to her best selling book the Death Dance."

Napaawang ang bibig ko. I thought he was just reading books that's according to his interest like arts and financials but look at him now! He also reads books like this! Isang sulyap lang, naalala na agad kung tungkol saan ang libro.

Gosh, Arvie! How to be you po?

"Sabihin mo nga sa akin, nabasa mo na ang lahat ng mga libro rito, ano?" sabi ko.

"Hindi."

Umikot ang mga mata ko. How will I believe that?

"Pahumble pa, Arvie."
