Under my umbrella

A respected teacher, Karmina by name, has this exciting than the usual life of a teacher or at least a human. Sa sobrang unusual, sometimes it sounds so creepy.

But before everything, it all happened upon a wish that was overheard by an unusual being who was having the time of his life at that moment.

"Are you sure?" The stranger asked her, para bang close na close sila.

"H-huh?"

"Your wish... a one of a kind wish. I haven't heard any wish like that before."

"What are you talking about?" She managed to query.

Uh, yeah. He forgot to mention, his unusualness counts his ability to read minds. Unfortunately, Karmina's thoughts had gone, too loud for it to catch his attention.

"You want to have your own conscience alive?"

"What the hell! Tell me, who are you?!"

Sino ang matino at normal na tao ang hindi magugulantang after hearing someone vocalize your unspoken thoughts, right?

"Lucas, your walking conscience," he smiled genuinely.

And that literally turned her world upside down. Having someone who can read your mind and who dictates your what-to-dos. It's a bull. Sino ba naman ang mag-e-enjoy sa gano'n? Napagkakamalan na nga silang mag-boyfriend dahil after that day kasi lagi na silang magkasama, they're even living under the same roof without him asking her if it's okay. Basta, he declared himself being her living conscience.

"Do you belong to the greek gods, I mean... Cupid, Zeus?" She asked out of nowhere. Siguro para basagin ang katahimikan na namamagitan sa kanila. It's killing her. He can read her mind habang siya hindi, it's unfair.

They were both sitting on one of the benches inside Karmina's school.

"No. They're not real, and I am real."

"How could you be so real? You can read my mind, you can even make anyone follow you with you stare, you could be a murderer. How? Lucas, tell me how... natatakot na ako."

And that started to open Lucas's umbrella with her under that.
