The Man I Can't Reach (COMPLETED)

Chapter 21

"It's my first time here..." I whispered while wandering my gaze all around in this Sanoria's Aqua Scoop.

I heard a small 'tsk' from Travin. "You're insane and dumb."

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay, "You keep saying I'm insane and dumb while I'm not."

He just shrugged his shoulders and sipped from his milk tea.

Sanoria's Aqua Scoop, hmm?

It's very refreshing here. Yung unang tapak mo pa lang, giginhawa na ang pakiramdam mo. A combination of Aqua Blue and Black. May disenyo na pa ng iba't ibang isda sa mga walls. They even put an aquarium in the center to make it more attractive. Yung mahilig sa isda, pumunta muna rito bago sa dagat.

"Sanoria? Is it Roi's?" I curiously asked. Nag-angat nang tingin si Travin habang kunot ang noo.

"Who's Roi?"

"Truth Roi Sanoria. Does he own this?"

Mahinang tawa ang narinig ko mula sa kaniya, "Ah, that lunatic. He doesn't own this."

"Huh? Sigurado ka? Sanoria kaya siya. Friends ba kayo?"

"I'm very sure this is not his..." sumipsip ulit siya sa kaniyang milk tea at pasimpleng kumagat sa burger na binili niya. "We're not friends though."

Ngumiwi ako, "Must be his parent's. And yeah, Roi is one of the heart-throbs in your school. That explains, hindi talaga kayo friends."

Kumuha ako sa fries niya at nginuya 'yon kaagad.

Tumaas ang kilay niya sa akin, "You should buy your own. Tinanong kita kanina kung bibili ka, sabi mo ayaw mo."

I shrugged my shoulders as a response. Hindi tumakas sa paningin ko ang pag-irap niya sa akin, in a manly way.

"At anong hindi kami friends? Baka nakakalimutan mong isa rin ako sa mga heart-throbs doon," pagyayabang niya na siyang ikinangiwi ko.

"Duh. Sabi mo kanina hindi kayo friends. And I'm not interested about you being a heart-throb in your school," may pagtataray kong sagot.

Umawang ang labi niya. He was about to say something but he chose to just press his lips together. Naiiling na lang siyang kumagat ulit sa pagkain niya. Napailing din ako nang mapansing nagiging mataray na ako. Should I compliment myself for that?

"How did you know that guy?" he asked out of the blue but I'm not surprised after all.

"Uhm...he introduced himself to me," simpleng sagot ko. Umawang ulit ang labi niya at napailing.

"Crazy..." I heard him murmured.

Hindi ko siya pinansin at uminom sa milk tea ko. Travin ordered milk tea, beef burger, and fries with barbeque flavor. While me, I just ordered a milk tea. May kalayuan ang lugar na 'to sa apartment at Lourdes. When we're on the way here, we passed the Lourdes College. If I'm accurate, it took us 20 minutes to get here.

Biglang tumunog yung cell phone ko. A text message from John. Kaagad kong binasa 'yon pero agad din akong napangiwi.
