-- Chapter 2 --
"... I'm Santino Sebastian. Kuya Santi.. remember?"
"Kuya.. Santi?"
Nang maabsorb ni Joyce kung sino ang taong nasa harap niya ay napasigaw siya at tumalon sabay yakap rito. Nahiya naman siya bigla nang magsitinginan ang mga tao sa library sa ingay niya. Hinila niya si Kuya Santi sa labas habang nakayuko siya.
"You're still the funniest Joyce!" sambit ni Kuya Santi sabay tawa pagkalabas nila ng library.
"How are you? How's ate Shine and Kris? It took so long before I see you again.." sunod-sunod na tanong ni Joyce. Tawa na lang ang naisagot ni Kuya Santi. "Sorry. I just got excited now that I see you again Kuya Santi."
"No it's okay. Natutuwa nga ko sa reaksyon mo eh. Ate Shine is working in Australia while Kris will start his 2nd year college life next week."
"Good for Ate Shine!"
"What course are you taking?"
"BSA. And you? Di ka mukhang nag-aaral dito."
"Ah yes, professor ako dito. My mom co-owned this university kaya dito ko na lang piniling magturo."
"Wow! Anong college ang tinuturuan mo?"
"Business Management course. Do you know that Kris is taking BSBM? I might be one of his professors this year."
"Really? Magmamanage pala siya someday ng isang business."
"Yes.. by the way, isn't it too informal if we just stand and chat here? Don't you have classes?"
"There's food poisoning happened daw."
"Ah yes. Same college nga lang pala tayo. Lets go! My treat!" yaya ni Kuya Santi.
"Pero.. I have to find a u-club before this day ends."
"You can join our club if you want?"
"What club?"
"Social-elites. It's about social networking. Who knows? Baka dumami pa kaibigan mo."
"So ikaw po ang founder nun?"
"Of course! So you wanna join?"
"Sige!"
Kinuha ni Santino ang ilang basic information ni Joyce. Pagkatapos ay dinala niya ito sa isang restaurant malapit sa university nila.
"How are you and Tito?" pagsisimula ng usapan ni Santino.
"Uhh. Actually.. Dad left me already. He has his new family since I was 10 years old."
"Oh.. I'm sorry to hear that."
"No, its okay. you know what, this is the first time I tell the truth to anyone about my Dad."
"Really? What did you usually say whenever they ask you about him?"
"I said.. he is dead already.."
"What? Joyce.."
"I know it is not a good idea but I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me. I feel pity for myself because everyone is leaving me.." the tears starting to fall from Joyce's eyes. Santi offers his handkerchief. Kuya Santi asked her if she wants to talk about it in private. Joyce agreed. He accompany her to his car.
