Chapter 2: You're paying attention #UNI
COOLER
I tried my best not to frown as I watched her hold her laughter. She failed bigtime at sa pagkakataong ito ay hindi na niya pinigilan ang kanyang pagtawa.
I sat comfortably, crossing my arms. "What's so funny?"
Looking at her laughing her ass out really reminds me of the naughty woman I met last night. Well, she's really that rainbow girl, I can tell by her smile. Nakakapanibago lamang na makita siyang hindi balot ng kolorete sa mukha.
Umayos siya ng upo at pilit kinalma ang sarili. "Ikaw. Oh, sorry I just cannot believe what I heard. Ikaw? You're asking me to teach you magic tricks?"
That annoyed me a bit. May mali ba sa sinabi ko? "Why, what's wrong with it? Is that illegal?"
Mabilis siyang umiling. "No, what's illegal is your business, magic tricks are actually fun."
Well, this woman is something. "Illegal? Our business?" pagmamaang-maangan ko.
She just rolled her eyes at me. "It's not like no single soul doesn't know about it."
Point well-taken but still. "That's an accusation Miss Rustia."
This time, komportableng naupo siya at sumandal. Her tone was dismissung na para bang siguradong-sigurado siya sa kanyang sinasabi. "Vander Mafia, isn't it?"
I shrugged. "I know nothing about it."
She was silent for a while dahil lumapit ang isang barista sa amin at inilapag sa harapan niya ang inumin na in-order ko para sa kanya. I waited for the guy to leave bago ako muling nagsalita.
"Hindi ko alam ang tungkol sa sinasabi mo," sabi ko a ibinaba ang tingin sa kalalapag lamang na inumin. "Enjoy your drink, it's free don't worry."
Without hesitation, she picked it up and tasted it. I noticed how her mood lighted upon when she tasted it ngunit hindi niya iyon ipinahalata. "You can deny all you want but it's not a secret. Besides my father was killed dahil sa inyo."
That's a different story.
Napabuntong-hininga ako. "I'm sorry about your loss but I really do not know about it."
Ngumit siya nang bahagya. "No it's okay, that's few years ago and I have long accepted his death anyway."
I tried to sound a little hopeful. "Considering that "Vander Mafia" is true, will that affect your decision in teaching me magic tricks?"
Ilang beses siyang napakurap."Seryoso ka ba talaga diyan sa hinihiling mo? Isa pa, why me? Why not hire others-"
"I have two options," sagot ko, raising to fingers. "One, I'll hire Harry Houdini, two, I'll hire you. The first one is impossible so that leaves you as my only option."
