Broken Strings
||Chapter 12||

He didn't bother to ask more about my real father.  Even if he did, I don't have much information and where-abouts of my father anyway.

Our topic swayed. He shared the story of his life, even if I didn't ask him to. I just know that they are actually three siblings, and he's in the middle. His siblings were both busy, currently in each one's condominium. Her Mom's in US  where sometimes his busy father visits. His father is the owner of the HRECC, Herera Real Estate and Constructing Company, that's why a lot of work load to do. And I'm not surprise that Exo needs to do well, normal lang iyon because he is the heir.

Napagtanto ko din na Ate niya pala ang nasa frame na minsan kong nakita sa living room nila. Picture nang isang babaeng nakaupo habang nilalaro ang kaniyang voilin, at masasabi kong...napakaganda.

Her angelic face compliments all her features. Parang babaeng version ni Exo. Having that sparkling eyes, proud narrow nose, thin lips, perfect cheeks down to her jaw. And her majestic kind of smile. Para ding model katulad ng akala ko sa kapatid niya.

Yung bunso din nila na kung si Exo ay palangiti, iyon naman na palasimangot na aura ng bunso nila. Seryuso tingnan. Kamukha niya si Exo pero hindi nga lang palangiti. Deep serious pair of eyes, halos kasingkatulad lang din ng mga features ni Exo, pero sobrang nakaka-intimidate. Ang mahal ng ngiti, halatang hindi basta-basta binibigay.

Genesis.

Exodus.

Leviticus.

Their names stand for uniqueness. Hinango talaga sa first books of the bible in the Old Testament. I admire her mother for that, so devoted to God. Those names were uncommon, who would expect that they will be used? At ganito pala kaganda pakinggan.

I wonder anong klase kayang pagkakapatid meron sila. Siguro masaya at maganda. Her Ate's looks definitely ravishing, same to the two boys. Parang mabait at mahinhin din ang Ate nila, I guess she's protected, maging nag-iisang babae ba naman. I wonder how that feels like.

"Hay na dehydrate ata ako dun sa test natin Kathy sa subject ni Professor Ayden. Grabe! Akalain mo 100 items! Wala pa ang halos karamihan sa tinuro niya ah, buti na lang nakapag-advance ako!", Eleanor rant as she sipped her drinks.

Nandito kami ngayon sa coffee shop na pinagtatrabahuan ko. Ayaw ko naman talaga na kumain kaso mapilit tong kasama ko. Sabi niya kumain muna kami at libre niya. Di pa nakuntento kinausap pa talaga ang manager namin para ipagpaalam ako.

"Ayos naman yun", natatawa kong sabi habang iniinom ang kape.

"Para sayo! Palibhasa matalino", sabi niya. I gave a quick laugh, we can't really complain since were students. Para saan pa ang pag-aaral? Everyone's been to that.

"Ano bang problema mo kay Prof at talagang mainit ang dugo mo sa kanya?", mainitin na nga ang ulo ni Prof sumasabay pa siya. Sakyan na lang niya ang mga trip ni Prof, konting pasipsip na lang din. It's how it works. You just have sugar-coat sometimes. Iba nga ay jinojowa pa ang mga professor na lalaki. Not that I'm with their side, but really, in this field and complexity, kakapit ka na lang sa patalim, if you badly want to pass.

Buti na lang kahit papano sa paghihirap ko sa buhay hindi pa ako umabot diyan. I lost my worth, I don't want to lose even the smallest part left.

"Wala naman. Badtrip lang talaga ako dun", wika naman niya.

Palagi ka namang badtrip sa kanya. Subukan mo na lang tanggapin kasi. We can't control some things, as well as events. Just live the moment and face it. Ganiyan naman palagi.
