"Baka 'yung ka-chat niya ang dahilan." ngumiwi ako kay Elijah.
The fuck.
Si Atlas lang naman ang ka-chat ko na sinasabi nila kaya napangiwi ako.
"That's absurd." I muttered.
Aiden and Elijah's statement kind of bothered me that it was all I thought about the whole afternoon. Kahit noong papunta na kami ng parking lot ay para akong lutang.
Atlas:
You're not going to the library?
But one message from Atlas, every thought flew away, and all I could think about was how to go back inside so I could go to the library.
Blake:
Our class just ended. Huli na kung pupunta pa ako diyan.
I walked slowly as I was busy with my phone.
Atlas:
No need to go there. I left already. Just go home and rest.
That's when I realized that his message was sent earlier. Siguro ay pumunta siya doon kanina at akala ay pupunta rin ako ngunit anong oras nang natapos ang klase namin.
"Excited na ako sa Saturday."
Kumunot ang noo ko at pilit na inaalala kung anong mayroon sa sabado at naalalang aalis nga pala kami kasama sina Rain at Clara.
"Asan pala sina Rain?" I curiously asked.
"Umuwi na. Hinatid ni Kiel." saad ni Ram kaya tumango ako at pumasok na sa sasakyan.
I started the engine and left to go home.
I was greeted with silence when I entered our house. Wala akong ibang naririnig kundi katahimikan. It's funny how I can already hear the silence because it was too silent. Silence is supposed to not be heard but why can I hear it? Palagi parang naririnig ko ang katahimikan kapag umuuwi ako.
Kung anong ingay ang meron kapag kasama ko ang mga kaibigan, ganon naman katahimik kapag umuuwi ako.
Minsan ay parang ayaw ko nang umuwi dahil hindi ko gusto ang bigat ng pakiramdam kapag nasa bahay ako.
But my mom somehow makes everything bearable for me, which is why I still have a reason to go home.
I wonder where my mom is?
I shrugged my shoulder and went straight to my room because my mom was probably in her room right now.
I was lazily drying my hair with a towel when I saw how my phone lit up for a call on the table. I walked towards it and paused for a second when I saw who it was.
Atlas calling...
"Yo." I greeted, still drying my hair.
My hand fell down slowly when I saw him. "Where are you?" I asked curiously because of his background.
I could see paintings and canvas on his background, which made me confused.
"In my art studio." he simply said but my lips went ajar.
He has an art studio. He must be good at arts then?
"In your condo?"
Sa laki ng condo ay sigurado akong nandoon ang sinasabi niyang art studio.
"Yup. It's on the second floor." tumango ako.
I am actually amazed right now that all I could do was to stare at his background just so I could get a glimpse of his paintings.
