(Magnus Haven #4) Hope Not (COMPLETED)

Chapter 17

My head's still whirling around as I stare at the two body in front of me. I don't know why I agreed or did I? As far as I know, parang nasabi ko sa kanila na I have something to do with this but they made me think that I don't have something!

Pero may isang parte sa puso ko na tuwang-tuwa. After all this years, malapit ko nang makalimutan ang panahon na lumabas kami nila Yanna noon sa perya dahil iyon lang naman ang naging pormal na paglabas naming tatlo.

Nakatitig lang ako sa likuran ni Louise habang nagtatawanan sila ni Sean, sigurado nag-uusap tungkol sa kung anong nangyari noong Pasko o ano pa.

Napansin nila na naiiwan ako sa likod, na ginusto ko naman talaga kaya mabilis na tumigil si Louise hanggang mapantayan ko siya sa paglalakad.

"Why did you stop?" I asked, directly looking at him.

Maski si Sean ay natigil na rin. Sinadya ata nila na dito kami sa MOA nagpunta para mahabang lakaran ang mangyari sa nalalabing oras ng araw?

Louise is just staring at me. "We never asked you to tail us behind."

Natawa ako. "Well, I don't know. You were two busy talking."

After that, pinagitnaan na nila ako at sinama sa usapan nila. I felt peace, after. They are really talking what happened to their trip and there was I, just silently listening to them.

I still wonder if he could or did he really couldn't remember me? By the way he talks to me, he doesn't sound vindictive or what. There's no trace of animosity in his eyes and it wondered me around.

But I know that if Yanna sees me or his parents see me, I'm entirely sure that they'll feel remourse upon seeing me. It's just that.. Louise completely forget the kid named Avrienne from his childhood.

Dahil wala naman akong alam sa nangyari sa kanila noong pasko, I'm just silent listening as they said na muntikan nang mahulog sa cliff si Rey kakahanap jg signal para kausapin ang girlfriend.

It made me laugh. I didn't know that Rey was that obsessed to whoever he is in love with. Hindi pa nga ako nakakamove on noong sinabihan niya ako na may girlfriend siya after the short introduction!

If he only knew that I loved his bandmate for so long.

Because we just ate at our house, they decided to go sa Quantum para maglaro. Pinigilan ko pa sila dahil marami nang sumusulyap sa kanila, hindi ko man alam kung gaano sila kasikat but I need to!

Baka out of nowhere, bigla kaming kuyugin!

Sean just looked on me and Wis shot his brows up. Sinabi ko sa kanila na kung paano may makakilala sa kanila? I have no talent on handling so many people! Ayoko rin naman silang masaktan!

Instead of saying na huwag na lang or let's just stroll around, inakbayan ako ni Sean at humalakhak. Was he is this comfortable with me? "Trust us. No one can figure us out with this disguise."

"Yeah." Pagsang-ayon ni Louise.

Wala na akong lakas na pigilan sila dahil hayok na talaga silang maglaro! If they could've just use this day to rest, kahit na sinabi na nilang nakapag pahinga na sila, dapat nagpahinga pa rin sila ngayon!

Giving that it's still Holiday season, maraming tao sa arcade na karamihan ay bata. Some are running around, some are with the games and some are crying kasi wala na silang mabiling ticket.

Sinulyapan ko iyong bilihan ng ticket and I saw na maraming bumibili. "How much do you want?" I asked and handed them my palm. "Ako na bibili."

"Why?" si Sean.
