Chapter 12

Sitting on the chair, holding a cup while my foot raised and staring blankly on the back of this guy who's busy arranging the grocery he bought, I find it comfortably weird.

Bakit ako nakaramdam ng kirot kanina nang balewalain niya ako?

It was not normal. I used to ignore by the people though I knew they never mean it. Never a big deal for me. But for him?

I don't know if he's mad at me for touching his things. Pwede naman niya akong pagalitan sa ginawa ko. Hindi 'yung bigla na lang siya mag-wa-walk out ng walang pasabi.

I sipped to my cup, sweetness, and cold of the Milo has been my tongue's favorite taste among the drinks every morning. Since he's mad at me, I brought down the breakfast he made and eat it here.

Until now, I was wondering why he chose to missed school today.

Sumubo muna ako ng saging bago dinampot ang phone nang makita si Third na tumatawag. "Oh, Third?"

I saw my brother glimpse at me. Inirapan ko lang siya.

Kinumusta lang ako ni Third at nagtanong kung makakapasok na daw ba ako bukas. I said 'yes'. Bumabalik na sa normal ang lakas ko ngayon, I just need a complete rest today. He's glad. He already missed me, sawa na daw siya sa pagmumukha ni Elisse, 'e. Flynne should have been there, but that annoying creature decided to have hiatus on school.

Until now, wala kaming ideya sa nangyayari sa kaniya.

Though, my brother and Flynne were not around, it was not a problem to him. He's a extrovert. Lahat yata sa room nila kaibigan niya.

After awhile, I heard Elisse's voice. Hindi nga nagtanong si Third about sa absence ng kuya ko pero siya na hindi naman niya classmate, si kuya ang bungad sa akin.

Umayos ako ng upo at tumingin sa kaniya. He's done and he was about to exit when I called him. He glanced at me over his shoulder.

"Ba't hindi ka daw pumasok?" This was I've been wanting to asked him, glad that Elisse pushed me to do it. I never had a chance earlier because he might not going to answer me.

He was on his usual expression but his response was enough for my heart to raced.

"Para bantayan ka."

He stared at me, went deep into my eyes before he made his way out, leaving me froze for a moment while the only thing I could hear was the beat of my heart.

Instead of answering Elisse on the other line, I ended up the call and text her instead.

After that, I stormed out. Hindi ko siya nakita sa sala while on my way to my room. I looked around until I went to garden. I sighed when I saw him sitting on the chair beside the pool, he's doing something... in his sketchpad?

I crossed my arms over my chest. Ano ba talaga mayroon do'n? Is he drawing something I couldn't see? Why? Censored?
