Chapter 29: Welcome Back
JERIC’S POV –
JERIC: The state of being unconscious and unaware.
WENSH: Ilang letters ba?
JERIC: Eight.
WENSH: Nirvana?
JERIC: That’s seven letters.
WENSH: Forget?
JERIC: Ha?
WENSH: Six letters pala yun. (napakamot sa ulo) Comatose!
JERIC: Not even close. B yung pangalawang letter at N yung last.
WENSH: Obstetrician?
JERIC: Eight letters nga lang.
WENSH: Edi pagkasyahin mo sa box. (rolls eyes)
JERIC: -___________-
WENSH: B … N …
I just tapped my pen as I think of the word to write. Nandito nga pala kami sa office ko sa restaurant. Since day-off ni Wensh, she decided to drop by dahil wala syang kasama sa bahay dahil may pasok si Mika. Mababaliw na daw sya sa kakasagot mag-isa sa bahay ng crossword puzzles kaya dinala nya dito.
WENSH: Oblivion! Oblivion!
JERIC: (sinulat) It fits.
WENSH: Thanks, google. (kissed her phone)
JERIC: Madaya. (smirks)
WENSH: What? Hindi naman yan test na bawal magcheat.
JERIC: Okay, next is four letters. To trick or deceive.
WENSH: It’s your turn.
JERIC: Hoax. (sinulat)
WENSH: Bilis mo naman masagutan.
JERIC: Iba na pag matalino.
WENSH: Iba na pag tumingin sa key answers.
JERIC: Hindi kaya ako tumingin.
WENSH: Sus. (inagaw ang crossword book) Ako naman magsusulat. Panget ng sulat mo.
Wala talaga tong magawa sa buhay eh kaya pati sulat ko nilalait.
Tumabi sya sakin at nag-indian sit sa couch habang nagsasagot pa rin ng crossword. Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya while she does that.
WENSH: Oy ano to? Nine letters. Meaning: very ugly, cruel or vicious.
JERIC: Ewan ko.
WENSH: That’s six letters.
JERIC: I mean, hindi ko alam. -_______-
WENSH: Jeric Teng.
JERIC: Ha?
WENSH: Jeric Teng! Oh di ba, nine letters? (laughs hysterically) Very ugly, cruel or vicious. Ano ka dun?
