Chapter 30

Keeyah's Point of View.

"It was a safe trip," I replied, sipping my iced coffee.

Andito kami ni Frost ngayon, sa Choice Cafe (Mrs. Choi's cafe shop), kung saan ako nagtatrabaho bilang part time waitress noon.

Naikwento ko kasi sa kanya ang nangyari sa field trip namin nung nakaraang linggo. After Dreyson and I went back to the villa, agad nila kaming pinaulanan ng tanong. Nag-alala si professor Hylos sa aming dalawa pero mabuti at hindi n'ya ako pinagalitan.

Since my work and sketch pad got wet, hindi ko na rin malaman kung ano ang iginuhit ko doon. So he's given me a chance to pass my work after we go back to our homes. My one week deadline ako para tapusin ang gawa ko, that's why I tried searching for another inspiration aside from acacia leaves na napunit rin sa bulsa ko matapos ang nangyari.

Dreyson already finished his job at the university as a substitute teacher. Therefore, he's free to do whatever he wants.

So, I decided to call Frosty to accompany me. At dito namin naisipang tumambay maghapon. Andito kami simula kaninang umaga, until now.

"Safe trip? Someone told me that you end up hugging bedsheets in the middle of the rain?"

"Sino nagsabi?"

She shrugged. "Sikretong malupet," ngumisi s'ya at tinignan ang aking guhit. "It's pretty na. Ano pa ang kulang d'yan?"

"I don't know..."

I stared at my work. Oo, kumpleto na, maganda, at unique, but it feels like there's something missing.

"Ah, I know. Maybe clouds will do."

I could see her lightbulb idea thingy on her head.

"Clouds?" pagtataka ko.

"Clouds. Ulap!" lumawak ang kanyang ngiti.

Napahilamos ako ng mukha dahil dun. "I know the Tagalog of cloud. Ang ibig kong sabihin, anong koneksyon ng sinabi mo sa ginawa ko?"

"Aah, wala lang. The sky's color is blue and clouds are white, so I think that blue and white color fits your design."

I raised my brow at the same time. Who would have thought na bibigyan ako ni Frost ng magandang ideya sa pangalawang pagkakataon?

"I'll try coloring it later," sabi ko. "But first, kailangan ko munang ubusin itong iced coffee ko."

Ngumiti s'ya sa akin at bumaling sa may counter. "I miss working here."

"Same..."

The memories, all in all. Both worst and best, andito sa cafe na ito. I still remember how I met Dreyson here in a very peculiar way.

At that time, I was still in love with Dylan, while he is madly in love with Megan, and Megan was in love with Dreyson, and Dreyson is in love with... no one.

"Kung hindi lang pinaubaya ni daddy sa akin ang kumpanya, dito pa rin siguro ako nagtatrabaho ngayon," she puts her cheeks over his palm na parang may malalim s'yang iniisip.
