Soul 17: Best Decision

"Sigurado ka bang mapagkakatiwalaan mo siya?" nagdududang tanong ko kay Zirrius.

"What do you think? Mapagkakatiwalaan ko ba siya? We're already friends since we're a child. He's like a brother to me. A friend. He knew all my secrets except for your existence inside my body," he answered.

"Since he's that precious to you, I won't argue. Kung ano man ang mangyayari, huwag mo akong sisisihin," seryosong wika ko.

"Sa library tayo," seryosong sabi ni Zirrius kay Kendrick. Sumunod si Kendrick na puno ng pagtataka.

"You're scaring me," mahinang saad ni Kendrick. "What is it? Kapag ganito ka kaseryoso, ramdam ko na hindi maganda ang sasabihin mo," he added.

"Hindi talaga," naiiling na sabi ni Zirrius. "Promise me that you'll believe me. This thing is actually out of this world. Until now, I can't really imagine that this is happening to me for real," naiinis na saad niya. Malakas akong tumawa. "Well, you need to accept now that this is for real, baby. I'm stuck inside your body for real and there's no escaping it. Just be a kind host for me," pang-aasar ko sa kanya. He hissed. Pumasok na sila sa loob ng library at saglit na tumahimik.

Ilang minuto lang ay tiningnan niya nang seryoso si Kendrick. "Hindi ko alam kung paano sisimulan. Will you believe if I tell you that there are two souls residing inside my body?" seryosong saad niya. Unti-unting kumunot ang noo ni Kendrick dahil hindi niya maintindihan ang sinasabi ni Zirrius.

"Two souls? How come?" takang tanong niya. "You didn't hit your head somewhere, right?" nagdududang tanong niya kay Zirrius. "Man! Ito ba ang gusto mong sabihin sa 'kin? Akala ko pa naman may matinding problema na," naiiling na sabi niya.

"Matindi ang problemang ito, pare. Sinasapian ako ng espiritu!" he said with frustrations. Ramdam niya na hindi naniniwala si Kendrick sa kanya kaya malakas akong tumawa. "Sinasaniban ka ng magandang espiritu," pang-aasar ko sa kanya.

"And she's talking inside my head. Damn! This is really out of this world. I know, you will think that I'm already losing my mind but I'm not. I'm serious," he said as he gritted his teeth. Hindi niya alam kung paano paniniwalain si Kendrick. Mas lalong kumunot ang noo ni Kendrick.

"She? Chicks, pare?" he asked with interest.

"Ayan ka na naman. Kapag babae ang usapan nagiging interesado ka," naiiling na saad ni Zirrius.

"Eh kung babae naman pala, ayos lang 'yan," natatawang sabi ni Kendrick na hindi pa rin pinaniniwalaan ang sinasabi ni Zirrius. Malakas akong tumawa. "Basta babae, pwede. He's right. Be a gentleman, Zirrius. Mukhang magkakasundo kami," pang-aasar ko.
