Chapter 10: Eating With the Blinds

THIRD PERSON's PoV

"You helped me deal with yesterday's emergency, so please allow me to repay you." Laszlo added habang nakatingin lang sa kanya si Llara.

"Hahaha, I am not expecting naman for something in return eh, so there's no need for you to treat me a lunch." tinawanan lang siya ng dalaga bago ito tumalikod para umalis.

But before she could get away ay pinigilan siya ng binata sa kamay.

"Seriously..." it was Laszlo. Llara turned to him, halatang seryoso ito kahit na hindi nakikita sa nakamaskarang mukha.

"Kahit ngayong araw lang." sabi pa ng binata, nakikiusap ito.

Llara finally gave her response, "Okay sige..."

Laszlo's face automatically brightened, "Talaga?!"

"Oo nga kasi!" ulit naman ng dalaga.

That very instance, nabigla si Llara nang hilain siya ng binata throughout the hallway. Pinagtitinginan tuloy sila ng ibang estudyanteng nakakasalubong nila.

Patakbo siyang nilabas ng binata palabas ng schoolgate.

"T-teka Laszlo, sa'n ba ang punta natin?"

"Sa labas." tugon naman ng binata at nagpatuloy sila.

Meanwhile, Altheo was already on his way to Llara's room sa third floor. Nang nakarating na siya sa silid-aralan nito ay nagtaka siya kung bakit wala ito rito gayunpama'y sabi nito sa text kanina ay pabalik na ito ng room. No one was inside the classroom, he decided to enter and gazed his eyes everywhere, until he saw something out the window that made his eyebrows cross.

It was Llara who was being held by someone while running on the school grounds, at natitiyak niyang si Laszlo ito.

That very moment, he decided to quickly get out of the building para habulin ang mga ito.

Altheo finally got out of the gate, but to his misfortune tuluyan nang nawala sa pangingin niya ang mga ito.

"Pasensya na kung dito sa bus kita pinasakay. I don't bring my car casually, and wala rin akong extra helmet for another person." Laszlo told Llara the moment they got inside a bus.

"Ay sus, ano ka ba? It's not a problem at all." sabi naman ng dalaga habang papunta sila sa bakanteng upuan na nasa backseat.

"Pero ba't kelangan pa nating lumabas- o-"
"Oi!" nabigla ang dalawa nang bumyahe na ulit ang sasakyan causing Llara almost fall, but luckily, Laszlo who was behind her was able to wrap his arm on her stomach to prevent her from falling forward.

A moment of awkwardness elapsed shortly until umayos na ng tayo si Llara at hinarap ang binata.

"T-thanks." she said, as masked Laszlo slowly unwrapped his arm from her stomach.

Umupo na sila sa bakanteng upuan na nasa pinakalikod na bahagi ng maliit na bus. People were obviously feeling weird about Laszlo's appearance but it did not bother him anyway since he already got used to it. Iyong iba nga ay natatawa pa.

"Some humans are indeed judgmental, masyado silang mabilis manghusga without knowing the person's circumstances." Llara said plainly, na silang dalawa lang nakakarinig.

"Don't you feel the same way with them? If ever I did make you feel look funny for being with me, I'm sorry." sabi ni Laszlo at nagbaba ng tingin.

Muling nagsalita ang dalaga, "Ba't ka ba nagso-sorry? I never felt that way kahit kailan."
