decoding the boys ✔️

24 - blessed || edited, uncut ver

While on our way to the first stop, which is St. Francis Assisi Church, Kuya Jacob's phone suddenly rang.

Maingay at nagkakagulo yung ibang boys kaya 'di nila masyadong pinansin. But I was sitting beside Kuya and I saw who the caller was.

Kuya didn't talk much. Nakikinig lang siya. And what surprised me was the play of emotions on his face.

His expression was soft for a time habang nakikinig lang siya. Then it turned cold and grave. Then into pity.

I, of course, was naturally curious but it felt like an intimate moment so I looked away. Bukod sa rude ang makinig, ayoko rin na mag-butt in sa affairs niya lalo na mukhang seryoso pa 'yon.

To distract myself, I updated my Twitter status.

Still on the road with the boys

There was a flood of favorites and replies na 'di ko muna binasa. Nag-scan muna ako sa newsfeed ko.

I saw a photo of the girls while they were at a KTV and then I scrolled down again.

An interesting conversation caught my eye. It was a conversation between Christelle and Justin in reply to Racel's tweet.

Fuck. Naalala ko na naman ang usapan kagabi.

My heart drummed hard. Could it be?

I furiously shook my head.

No, don't assume. Number one rule 'yan. 'Di bale nang maging manhid, 'wag lang assuming. Because assuming things will lead to expectations and expectations will lead to disappointment. If I don't wanna get hurt, I can't jump to any conclusions.

As simple as that.

We stopped by the church to check it out. Saglit lang since naghahabol din kami ng oras.

Hanggang three lang kasi kami dito dahil three-forty ang ride namin pabalik ng Dumaguete. We wanted to take our time in beach bumming sana so everything would have to be quick and fast.

After St. Francis of Assisi Church, dumaan kami sa Capilay Spring Park along the main highway ng San Juan. Kinuhanan ko lang ng picture 'yon bago kami dumiretso sa puno ng balete dito.
