Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Adrian

Cris' POV

It's been a month since I first met them. Closing April was probably one of the hardest things that I ever done this year.

Natatawa pa rin ako sa nagawa namin. Hindi sana kami nagmadali noong nakaraan kung hindi lang namin inenjoy ng masyado ang bakasyong iyon. But hey! It was fun, no regrets after all.

Summer leaves kept falling down outside and the sun is shining much brighter today. Summer is almost over too but it felt like it's been ages since it started.

"How did this end up as a fantasy novel, huh?" natatawang sabi ni Shelia sa amin, she's referring to the book that we're writing.

Apparently we're in her office right now.

"But atleast it's gonna be completely brand new to everyone," sagot ni Isaac, nasa bar counter ulit siya.

Humilig ako sa sofa at saka bumuntong hininga. "I'm okay with the plot," pagod kong sabi.

"Well it's because that's your idea," ani naman Shelia.

I smirked. "Oh, right..."

Bumalik si Isaac sa amin na may dalang wine. Iyon naman ang palagi naming iniinom dito, kung tutuusin, ginawa na naming tubig iyon.

Umupo siya sa aking tabi at pinagmasdan niya ang mga nakakalat na mga papel sa lamesa. Napaisip siya ng malalim.

"Na finalize niyo na ba ang ending?" bungad niya, bumaling siya sa amin.

Umiling kaming dalawa ni Shelia.

"Ano? Bakit? Magkakatuluyan ba sila?" he said, his tone was very curious.

"Well..." ani Lia.

Nagkatinginan kami. We've been fighting everyday because of that, just because of that ending. 'Cause...

"I still think they deserve to be together," sagot niya.

Ito nanaman kami.

Natawa si Isaac at nahagip kong lumingon siya sa akin. Mukhang hinihintay niya ang sagot ko.

"I still want Azir to die," kantsaw ko naman. Namilog ang mga mata ni Lia at inirapan niya ako.

"The world is already cruel enough and then there you are..." bulong niya ngunit sinadya niya itong iparinig sa amin.

Humagikhik si Isaac habang nilagok ko naman ang wine hanggang sa maubos ito. Nilingon ko muli sila.

"Well... That's gonna be a problem," natatawang sinabi ni IJ.

Natahimik kami pagkatapos. Gustohin ko mang magsalita ngunit walang pumapasok sa isipan ko. Itatanong ko sana kung ano ang paborito nilang number sa electric fan ngunit agad ko itong itinabi. They're air-conditioned kids and it's bullshit.

"By the way Cris, tuloy ka na ba sa MAPUA?" tanong ni Isaac, napangiti ako dahil duon.

Tumango ako. "Oo... Nakapasa na rin naman ako sa entrance exam. Magpapaenroll nalang."

He clapped his hands and then locked it afterwards. "That's good news. You're taking architecture, right?"

"Yes. Mahirap nga eh pero kakayanin naman. Sana."

"How about you Lia?"

Lumingon kaming dalawa ni Isaac sakaniya. Her legs are crossed and she's wearing the unusual, a black dress.

"I'm still taking Business."

"So you're really going after it huh. How about literature?" ani Isaac.
