HARVEY

"Ayaw mo pa maniwala sa akin. Sabi sa'yo bagay kayo ni madam VP eh," hindi na tumigil si Luke kaka-asar sa amin simula kahapon ng bumisita sya sa shoot namin. Nag picture pa sya ng stolen habang nasa eksena kami ni Criza. Sumuko na ako kakapilit sakanya na burahin nya. 

"Dude, mananahimik ka ba o iiwan kita? Also, you've seen her with Onie. Let's respect what they have," I told him as we headed to the S.C. office to wait for Ralph. I saw how close they were and wanted to respect whatever they had. 

Plus, I'm too busy to even think about anything right now. Minsan nga ay hindi na kami nakakapag usap ni anti dahil sa sobrang busy ko. Nakaka guilty pero babawi na lang ako. 

"Hangga't walang kino-confirm, hindi sila. Bro, isipin mo, bakit never nila inamin ni sila? Walang monthsarry post? Anniversarry post? Ilang taon na silang ganyan. Imposible, dude." Luke tried to argue the situation. Hindi ko naman tinanong opinion nya, latag sya ng latag.

"Keep your opinions to yourself, Luke. Hindi lahat sino-social media," I told him as I opened the door to the office. I was just expecting Ralph to be here pero nagulat ako ng makita na nandito rin si Criza and Krystl. 

Bigla kong naramdaman ang paniniko ni Luke. Ba't nga ba ako pumayag na sumama 'to?

"Hi, madam VP!" Luke cheerfully greeted Criza as if they were close. 

"Uy, Luke!" binati rin ni Criza pabalik si Luke at mabilis na kumaway bago mag-type ulit sa laptop. 

"Busy-ng busy, ah? Pinapahirapan ka ba ni Harvey? Gusto mo gantihan kita?" sabi ni Luke at umupo sa gilid ni Criza. Wait, they're friends? Close ba sila?

Naupo na rin ako sa usual seat ko para hintayin si Ralph. "Double check ko lang lahat ng funds," he told me as he was counting our funds. Pupunta kasi kami ng mall ngayon para bumili ng mga gamit para sa Buwan ng Wika. We're going to ride his car too so we waited for him. 

"All goods! Ikaw ang busy 'jan! Asan si Gab at hindi mo pinuntahan ngayon?" Criza asked. I was not even surprised that she knew Luke's girlfriend, Gab, who was from another school. I just knew that she's that friendly, knowing Criza. 

"Nagpasama si Harvey. Busy ka ba? Hindi ka sasama bibili ng materials?" Luke kept conversing her so I opened my phone to scroll on my feed. Walang intensyon na sumama sa usap nila. 

"Pinipilit ko nga sumama. Para may kasama akong girl," I heard Krystl say, looks like she's coming with us.

"San nga ba ulit? T'text ko ate ko kung pwede," she said as she typed on her phone, magpapa-alam ata sa ate.

"Sa Vista Galleria," Luke was the one who answered her. 

"Vista Galleria?!" Criza suddenly exclaimed, making everyone look at her, "Bakit don pa? Saan ba kayo mag s'shopping? Sa national bookstore? May palengke 'jan lang sa plaza, mas mura pa bilihan."  She argued. I don't think it's a good idea knowing none of us know where to shop there.
