Kabanata 12

Serenity of Madness

Happy reading 🥛

One cold night, exactly that spot, I came to realized that the moon will surely die I just don't know when. I was young that time and those idea inside my head are uncontrollable.

Thinking about the moon, stars, and any existential things, they are beautiful, I was young when I dreamed of crafting their beauty in my head.

"Among the stars, there's you and me." Mahina kong bulong habang nakatingin sa mga bituin.

Sunny chuckled. "Gray, what are you doing here? Kakaalis lang ni kuya miss mo agad?" Pagbibiro niya na hindi ko na lang pinansin.

Kanina pag-alis niya, hindi pa ito nakakaisang minuto sa loob ng sasakyan ay tinawagan na agad ni Treyden. Hindi ko alam na may pagkakaabalahan pala siya at kailangan niyang umalis. Hindi ko rin alam kung kailan ang balik niya, wala siyang sinabi.

I heard her footsteps walking towards me.

"Here, drink this first." Iniabot niya ang gatas sa akin na kaagad ko namang tinanggap.

I smile. "Where's your drink?"

Isang oras na rin ang lumipas simula nung umalis si Treyden kaya naman dito muna si Sunny matutulog.

"Nagsabi ako kila Sena na makakauwi ako ngayon, hindi ko pa sila nasasabihan na hindi ako makakapunta." Upo niya sa tabi ko.

"Sena?" I asked before drinking the milk.

"Ahh, a friend."

"You like Kuya Remus, right?" I suddenly asked making her gasped.

Hawak-hawak niya ang bandang puso niya sabay sabi. "Gray naman, bakit mo pinapasok sa usapan 'yung kuya mo." Natatawa niyang tanong na nagpaliit sa mata ko.

Maya-maya pa, dahan-dahan itong ngumiti. "Yeah, a little." Masaya nitong sagot.

Inilapag ko naman ang baso ng gatas sa lamesang nasa harapan namin. "A little?" I asked in a deep tone.

"I know nothing about him. A little is enough, no?"

I chuckled. "Then why do you like him? You must know that person first before liking them or even giving them a piece of your attention."

Sunny smirked. "What do you mean?"

I knew it.

I cleared my throat before getting the book in front of me. I slowly open the first page.

"Marunong ka ba magbasa?" Gusto ko matawa sa paraan ko ng pagtanong.

Natawa siya sa tanong ko. "Nakaka-offend naman 'to kausap, oo naman."

"What genre you like the most?"

Sandali siyang nag-isip bago isandal ang likod sa upuan. "Hmm, romance?" Patanong niyang sagot. "Hindi ako madalas magbasa." Dagdag niya pa.

"What if I ask you to read horror, babasahin mo ba?"

Mabilis siyang umiling. "Hindi."

Tipid akong ngumiti. "Don't flirt with Kuya Remus. Masasaktan ka lang." Pagsasabi ko ng totoo.

Sunny's too precious to be broken. She does not look like it because of her strong personality but I know deep inside, she is.
