Esran's point of view
Inaayos ko na ang gamit ko dahil aalis na ulit ako sa bansa upang magtrabaho. It's much better to work at a international airline, the airplane has higher quality and of course the pay is also higher.
Pero kaya ko bang umalis, lalo na't alam kong di parin nakikita si Xyrene? Di rin naman pwedeng di ako magtrabaho dahil ako ang main provider sa family namin.
Makikipagkita ako kay Eleven mamaya dahil ibabalik na niya daw ang dalawang shonen manga na pinahiram ko sa kanya.
Isasama rin ata niya si Alystra, yun kasi ang napagusapan namin last week.
These past few days, I couldn't talk to Kalirea that much because she was busy with work. Si Marco naman daw ay ilang araw nang absent sa trabaho. Wala kaming balita sa kanya hanggang ngayon.
Si Melo naman, well he's still the same. Looking at his computer screen all day long.
Habang ako ay nagtutupi ng damit nakatanggap ako ng text mula sa kaibigan kong si Larkin. Boyfriend ni Crystal.
MSG
Larkin: huy
Larkin: huyyyy esran sagot pls
Me: problema mo?
Larkin: tulong pls. Ano ba dapat ibigay kay Crystal kapag galit?
Me: bat di mo tanungin si Lira?
Larkin: offline eh
Me: edi bala ka dyan
Larkin: Ez naman eh!
Nangungulit pa nga si Larkin pero di ko na sinagot. Siguro ay nagaway na naman ang dalawang yun. Isa lang naman ang sagot dyan eh. Pag nagtatampo ang babae, pagkain lang ang katapat nyan.
Maya maya lang ay nagtext na sa akin si Eleven, kaya naman nagbihis na ako at nagpunta sa mall kung saan kami magkikita.
When I got there at the entrance of the mall, I saw Eleven holding my mangas but something was off.
As I approached Eleven, I realized why something was off. Halatang halata sa mata niya na umiyak siya. Namumula rin ang ilong niya.
"Uy Eleven!" Tawag ko sa kanya
He smiled at me and handed me the mangas he borrowed.
"Okay ka lang ba?" tanong ko
Nagpause siya bago sagutin ang tanong ko.
"Ayos lang ako" sagot niya, iba rin ang boses niya, siguro dahil umiyak siya
"Akala ko kasama mo si Alystra?" tanong ko
"Well, she isn't." matipid niyang sagot
"Hey, want to walk around for a bit?" alok ko at tumango lang siya
While walking and looking through the different shops, I finally gathered the courage to ask him a question.
"Hey, it's not like I'm forcing you to say anything but be honest, may nangyare ba?" tanong ko sa kanya
"It's a long story" he said, avoiding my question
"You know that you could always talk to me, right?" I said
Natahimik siya at napahinto sa paglalakad.
"I should talk to someone about it...but I don't know how" sabi niya
