Uncle?
Napatingin ako kay Zeira, then kay Youssef na kumaway pabalik sa kanya.
Zeira Alcarion and Youssef Alcarion.
How could I not connect the dots? I'm so stupid! Youssef is her uncle. I've known him for years, yet it never even crossed my mind when I first heard Zeira's last name.
Nang makalapit kami, tumigil kaming lahat at pinanood si Zeira na nagmano sa dalawa. I didn't do the same, and neither did my bandmates. We just stood there and watched them happily chatting.
The two haven't recognized me yet since hindi pa sila napapatingin sa gawi ko-plus, my cap is slightly covering my face. Mas binaba ko pa iyon. It's not that I'm hiding from them. I just don't want to be questioned about how I know them.
"Guys, this is my uncle and his friend," pakilala ni Zeira sa dalawa, then she turned to us. "And these are my bandmates."
She looks so excited while saying that we're her bandmates.
"Good morning po!" bati ng mga kasama ko.
Sabay na napangiti sina Youssef at Harrison.
"Is that so?" Youssef said, before ruffling Zeira's hair. "Well, I'm happy for you, kiddo!"
Then he turned to us and smiled. "Hi, I'm Youssef, and the guy with me here is Harrison."
"Wait. Youssef and Harrison?" Nagtatakang tanong ng deskmate ko.
Don't tell me she doesn't recognize them too?
Napatingin ako kay Elliot, and even he looked puzzled.
How can these two not recognize them? They barely changed-unlike Tori, who had a complete transformation. From her emo look before, she now looks... more refined. More mature.
But these two? They still look the same. The only difference is that they're not in their usual get-up during concerts, and they don't have that intimidating stage presence right now.
Or maybe that's exactly the reason? They don't emit the same aura anymore.
"Baka kapangalan lang nila," sabi ni Elliot, looking at my deskmate.
Zeira bit her lower lip before turning to them.
"Um... actually, this is who you think it is," she said with a sheepish smile.
Napasinghap silang dalawa.
"For real?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong nila habang nanlalaki ang mga mata.
"For real," sagot ni Zeira.
Then, right on cue, they screamed.
They immediately turned into a full-on fanboy and fangirl. Mabilis silang lumapit kina Youssef at Harrison.
"Omg! Omg! I can't believe I'm meeting you two here! I'm your fan po!" My deskmate squealed.
"I'm a huge fan of your band po! Especially you, Sir Youssef! I want to be like you po!" Elliot practically yelled.
I saw how Youssef and Harrison exchanged awkward glances, so I looked at Rive. We had a silent conversation through our eyes before both of us grabbed Elliot and my deskmate, pulling them away.
