#Chapter9
Nethon's POV
"Achelois" agad naman itong lumapit saamin ni Ashton hyung.
"Anong ginagawa niyo dito?" sumingit naman si Ashton hyung ang nakikita ko na lamang ngayon ay ang likod ni hyung, bumuntong hininga na lamang at sumilip.
"Hi! I'm Ashton" kumunot naman ang noo ko nang tignan ko ang itsura ni Achelois.
She's fvcking blushing!
"Achelois"
"You're pretty though" mas lalo itong namula nang sabihin iyon ni hyung, hindi na alam kung saan tumingin si Ache.
"hyung" agaw ko sa atensyon ni hyung pero hindi ito natinag kahit pa nga sikohin ko ito.
"We're here for this" tinaas naman ni hyung ang folder na dala niya. Siya na nag dala ng kontrata pag labas namin sa opisina.
"I know what's the meaning of your name"
"Talaga?"
"Yes! Nethon's name is also from greek kaso iba lang yung spelling sakanya, his name is from other name of the god Poseidon, your name is from the minor greek goddess of the moon"
"My mom loves greek mythology"
"Nethon's and my parents too."
"Achelois means, she who washes away the pain, actually I love that goddess" kumunot naman ang noo ko sa sinabi ni hyung, kailan lang siya nagka interest sa greek mythology? nagpapasikat lang siguro ito.
"You know why? Achelois was frequently the recipient of sacrifices ordered by Dodonian Oracle, in order for her subject to be cured of their ailments"
"Hyung ni research mo ba yan para mag pasikat?" bulong ko sakanya pero hindi niya padin ako pinansin, nilingon ko na lamang si Achelois pero nakatulala lamang ito kay hyung.
"I'm amazing right? actually my dad teach that to me when I'm still young, he have also greek name. Momus the god of writers, poet and satire and my mom's name is Alectrona the early goddess of the sun"
"huh? ah yeah" nakabawi na sa pagkatulala si Achelois.
"I love that minor goddess because of her we don't feel pain for too long. By the way are you going to wash Nethon's pain away when the day come?"
"Hyung stop it ayst!" pumagitna na ako sa kanila.
"Nethon?"
"Yeah I'm here Achelois, hyung you're hungry right?"
"Ah! right muntik ko ng makalimotan" ngumiti pa ito saakin pero sinimangotan ko na lamang.
"Where's the cafeteria here Ache?" tanong ko kay Achelois.
"Let's go, sasamahan ko kayo"
"Good! let's eat! mas lalo akong nagutom" sabi naman ni hyung at nauna itong naglakad.
"You're noisy hyung" sita ko dito pero hindi na ako narinig nito, sinabayan ko na lamang sa paglalakad si Achelois.
"Di ko alam mahilig pala si Ashton sa greek mythology, hindi yun nakasulat sa magazine"
"Magazine?" tanong ko kay Achelois.
"Huh? Magazine? ah yeah, I have Kyril Group Magazine"
"So you know me? I have my face and facts there too"
"Actually, si Belle at si Ashton lang yung pinagtuonan ko ng pansin don" sabi niya habang nakatingin sa unahan.
"Ashton hyung is your crush?"
"Yes! yung puso ko sasabog kanina nang kausapin niya ako!" kinilig pa itong tumingin saakin.
"Ashton hyung is not handsome"
"Gwapo kaya! atsaka hindi lang naman ako sa mukha bumabase"
"He's not an angel too"
"He is happy go lucky person, hindi katulad kay Alexander na nakakatakot yung aura parang pumapatay!"
"How about me? what do you think of me?"
"Ikaw? uhmm, you're weirdo atsaka cold"
"I'm not weird and cold"
"Yes you are! siguro kung si Ashton yung ka meeting ko nung pictorial natin, siguro ang haba haba ng usapan namin hindi tulad sayo non, may pa sabi sabi ka pang 'I don't do business, your presence is enough to approve your proposal'" nilaliman niya pa ang boses ko na parang ginagaya niya ang boses ko.
"You're noisy"
"see! tapos pa english english ka pa! naiintindihan mo naman ako bakit hindi ka mag tagalog"
"I'm not like Ashton hyung who use, greek mythology for moves in girls tsk!"
"Kahit naman ganon siya hindi siya tulad mo na ang lamig lamig, nagkaka girlfriend ka ba?"
"Are you comfortable with me now? you talk too much Achelois Caraquel"
"Ganito ako no"
"I think you already comfortable with me, I heard too much complain from you which I didn't heard yesterday and in pictorial"
"Nagpapakabait pa ako sayo non no? kasi nakasalalay sayo yung partnership echos ng tatay ko at ng Kyril"
"By the way utang mo?" nilahad niya pa ang kamay niya saakin, tinitigan ko ito at kunot noo ko siyang tinignan.
"Utang?"
"Debt in english sir"
"I know but I don't remember something that I borrowed"
"Aba akala ko madali ka lang mag bayad kasi mayaman ka, ganyan din kaya ang mga paraan ng mga sinisingil, last night remember?"
"Ah yeah I remember"
"Sus palusot mo"
"I don't do that"
"yayaya whatever"
"I can buy this school in just one swipe Achelois"
"Tsk bayaran mo na lang ako dami mo sinasabi"
"I don't have cash, I mean I don't bring cash, Ashton hyung!" tawag ko naman kay hyung na papasok na sana sa cafeteria.
"Bakit?"
"May utang ako sakanya, wala akong cash bayaran mo" iniwan ko naman silang dalawa sa labas at pumasok na.
Maliit lang yung mga estudyante ngayon dito, ang iba sakanila nag sisimula na yung klase siguro ang mga andito wala pang klase.
At dahil maliit lang yung estudyante mabilis naman akong nakahanap ng mauupoan namin.
Sumunod naman silang dalawa.
"Marunong ka naman palang magtagalog, fluent pa! wala pang accent! bakit puro ka english?" bungad saakin ni Achelois nang makaupo ito sa kaharap kong upuan.
"I'm not comfortable"
"Ganyan talaga si Nethon, sabi niya saamin ni Alexander saamin lang siya sanay mag tagalog pag sa ibang tao hindi siya komportable kaya intindihin mo na lang, sasabihan ko nalang si Voltaire na bigyan ka ng dugo pag naubosan ka dahil sa kaka english niya"
"Dapat mag tagalog siya kasi hindi lahat ng tao dito maiintindihan siya"
"Don't underestimate Filipinos, English is your second language, how can you say that?" tinanggal ko naman ang sun glasses ko at tinignan siya ng masama.
"Interesado ka pala sa mga Pinoy?"
"No I'm not, I need to learn everything about the country"
"Why?"
"Because it's said so" malamig kong sabi at nilingon si Ashton hyung na nakatingin lamang saakin.
"Tutunganga na lang ba tayo dito hyung? gutom ka diba? go order"
"Solo quieres solitarias Achelois" (Gusto mo lang ma solo si Achelois)
"Joder" (fvxk off) masungit kong sabi sakanya, ngumusi lamang ito saakin at umalis.
"Akala ko ba Korean ka?"
"I thought you're only interested with Ashton and Belle" taas kong kilay sakanya.
"Yes I am"
"Then you also knew me?"
"I'm not, nakita lang kita sa balita, ikaw yung Kyril na nakatira sa Korea and I'm expecting you're Korean, how come you can speak other language? and what language is that you speak with Ashton?"
"You talk too much again Caraquel"
"Sagotin mo nalang I'm curious"
"You don't talk to much when I'm with you alone, why so sudden? because of hyung? you can talk to hyung whatever you want just don't bother me"
"Ang sungit sungit parang gwapo tsk!"
"I am, ain't Kyril's face of the business for nothing Caraquel" sinipat ko na lamang ito at hinintay si hyung.
"Para ka namang babae, hinding hindi mag tatagal sayo yung magiging girlfriend mo"
"I don't do relationship"
"You don't do business, you don't do relationship, bakit ka pa na buhay?"
"To make you shut up, so be quite or I'll finish you"
"Aba nang banta pa para namang bata ito kung mang banta tsk! kung di ka lang pinsan ni Ashton di ako mag titiisi dito"
"Just shut up Caraquel, talk to hyung whatever you want just don't bother me, I need peace and your not peace"
Don ka kay Ashton hyung crush mo pala yun eh.
