CHAPTER 102 PART 1

- TRIC MARION BAEK -

♪ Elevator buttons and morning air

Strangers silence makes me wanna take the stairs

If you were here, we'd laugh about their vacant stares

But right now, my time is theirs

Seems like there's always someone who disapproves

They'll judge it like they know about me and you

And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do

The jury's out, but my choice is you~

So don't you worry your pretty little mind

People throw rocks to things that shine

And life makes love look hard~

The stakes one high, the water's rough

But this love is ours... ♪

"You got one good voice there, huh?" Michelle's eyes landed on me after giving my compliment to her voice. Her surprise birthday party and our acquaintance party was ended so here I am, escorting her home. Quia wasn't able to escort her home because of her urgent appointment with her dad. Well, at first she was doubting about my idea of escorting Michelle home. Now I know that there's another person who knows Michelle's secret.

"Talaga? Salamat sa papuri," she snickered like a kid. "Pautang isang milyon. Ginalingan ko 'yun eh."

I laughed at her dorkiness. Geunyeoneun geureon babo ya (she's such an idiot). "Michyeosseo."

She giggled as she sung the song again while I am tapping my fingers on the steering wheel.

"Oh, we're here," sabi ko nung matanaw ko na ang bahay nila at pinahinto ang kotse.

Tumingin s'ya sa bintana ng aking kotse. "Oo nga andito na tayo. Hala, ang tahimik na. Panigurado tulog na sina Mama Rona."

Lumabas ako mula sa driver's seat at umikot sa kabilang side ng kotse para pagbuksan si Michelle. She's wearing a rosy pink cocktail that really suited her white complexion. Lumabas naman s'ya sa passenger seat bago ko sinara ang pinto. Dumiretso agad ako sa compartment at nilabas ang mga regalong natanggap n'ya. Ayoko sana s'yang tumulong kaya lang masyado s'yang mapilit kaya kaming dalawa na ang bumitbit ng mga regalo n'ya at nilapag ang mga iyon sa bakanteng upuan sa labas ng bahay nila. Ilalagay ko sana ang regalo ko para sa kanya doon sa mga nagkukumpulang regalo sa upuan kaya lang may pumipigil sa akin. The other side of my brain is saying that Michelle will not notice your gift since it was wrapped in a small box. Might as well I will give it to her personally.
