San Vicente Series #1, Moon Embraces The Sun

Four

"Oo nga, ewan ko lang kay zanne, expect mo magkakagusto sya lagi sa mga gwapo" sabi ni sun at agad ko naman syang hinampas at tumawa lang sya then started eating her blueberry cheesecake.

My phone vibrated and saw ilios' name on my notification bar. I swiped my phone to unlock it then opened my instagram, there i saw ilios messaged me.

Hinintay ko muna maging 2:15 bago ko nireplyan para 15 minutes late yung reply ko, bumilis yung tibok ng puso ko nung akmang bubuksan ko, I feel like may ginawa akong masama para imessage nya ako ng ganito, so to avoid second thoughts i clicked his name directly and read his message.

From Ilios:

I left my cap.

To Ilios:

Who asked?

After 10 minutes he didn't reply, i was just staring intently to my phone waiting for him to reply, pero hindi pa rin sya nagrereply, i checked his account and he loves to post his pictures, marami syang followers at posts, puro picture nya lahat. Nakatingin pa rin ako sa picture nya nang bigla akong kalabitin ni sam.

"Nakikinig ka ba?" Tanong ni sam sakin and tried to see what's on my phone, tinago ko agad ito sa bulsa ng skirt ko at tumingin sa kanila

"What was it again?" I asked and took a sip on my iced coffee.

"Busy sya" Sun hissed.

"Sabi ni suinnee, punta daw kayo sa bahay nila" sam explained to me at nagtatakang nakatingin sakin

"Oh? Sige, punta na tayo ngayon habang maaga pa" i grabbed my bag at naramdaman kong nagvibrate na yung phone ko, ayoko naman kunin yun sa harapan nila kasi baka hablutin nila na agad tong phone ko e.

"Pass ako, uwi na ako" sabi ni sam hawak ang batok nya.

"Teka lang, ubusin ko muna to" sun pointed on her food, so we let her finished the food, ashia grabbed sun's bag para makalabas na kami agad, pagkatapos na pagkatapos ni sun kumain tumayo na kami agad para di sya maka angal.

"Ano bang meron, bat kayo nagmamadali? Nasa kabilang table lang kaya yung mga ex ko" sun said getting her stuffs from ashia.

"Alam ko, di kami bobo tulad mo, magkakasama yung tatlo, tsaka di ka papansinin ng mga yon" ashia told her, and grabbed her para makasakay na ng tricycle, nagkasya naman kaming apat at isang daanan lang naman kami kaya sabay sabay na kami.

Dumating kami sa bahay nina ashia, walang tao sa bahay nila, pumasok kami sa kwarto nya at diretso syang lumundag sa kama nya, i knew she has a problem, she's acting weird.

Sun tied up her hair at nakihiram ng damit kay ashia para magpalit, that's what i did too, i told them na manood kami ng movie dahil wala rin kaming gagawin, i asked ashia kung saan nakalagay yung usb nya, sabi naman nya nasa drawer nya.

"Sa pinaka taas o sa pinaka baba?" I asked ashia without looking at her.

"Check mo nalang both, di ko na maalala e" she told me.

When i opened her upper drawer, i saw band posters, this time nakita ko na yung mukha, lagi ko syang nakikita na may itinatagong band posters pero di ko nakikita yung mukha. And im pretty sure yung may dalang guitar, isa sa mga senior namin. I didn't mean to meddle into her stuffs, since nakita ko na pinabayaan ko na lang, sinara ko na lang ulit yung drawer nya, i searched sa iba but i can't find it, i asked sun to help me find it, binuksan ni sun yung drawer na may mga posters pero sinara nya kaagad ito, hinanap namin sa mga ibang organizer nya at nahanap din namin yon. When i was about to stand up, sun whispered to me.

"Bayaan mo na lang sya, wala sigurong malandi kaya nagkakaganyan" she half smiled

Nanood lang kami ng movies at natulog ako, ginising ako ni sun around 6:30 pm. Umalis na rin kami agad ni sun dahil gabi na, it's not safe to stay late at this hour, lalo nang wala pa sina mommy at daddy.
