"Anong klaseng ballpen? HBW ba 'yan?"
"Baka Panda."
"Fountain pen, matulis e."
"Ay wow. Sosyal."
"I really wanted to know what happened back then."
"I wish I was there."
"I was there."
"Talaga?"
"Yep, grabe kaya kaba ko no'n."
"Nyahahaha! I'm Rindelle fucking Snow! Trust me."
"All hail."
"So, what happened?"
"Teka, hindi ka kasi masyadong curious e. Chill lang, mahina kalaban."
"And you're not angry he robbed your bank?"
"Bakit pa? Tapos na rin naman 'yon. Isa pa, without that money we wouldn't have built Orpheus."
"Touché."
"Kwento mo na papi."
"Yes. . . And it all started with a tomato juice. . ."
Zen.
Office of the COO,
Ocampo Bank.
"Please tell me, why are we here again?" Nag-aalalang tanong ko kay Rin. Nasa labas kami ng pinto ng opisina ng COO ng kompanya ng pamilya ko. In fact, opisina ng tito ko. And we're supposed to be at school, pero malakas ang kapit ni Rin sa Dean at kay Ms. Lougie.
I'm scared.
"Don't worry, ako bahala sa'yo." He winked at me and opened the door. Like I'm assured one bit. Imagine a guy smaller than you say that. I actually don't know what to feel.
On second thought, I feel like puking.
"Who are y—Zeke! My boy! What brings you here?" My uncle greeted with a maniac grin and twinkling eyes. Sa sobrang gwapo ko, hindi lang ako ang nagkakagusto sa sarili ko.
Nakakainis lang kasi. Ang dami ko ng iniisip e. Una 'yong confession ni Shin. Pangalawa, nakakasakal na si Miki. Pupunta lang ako sa studio kasi nagmomodel ako tapos magagalit siya. Pangatlo, ito; nasa harapan ako ng tito ko na ayaw na ayaw ko nang makita pa kahit kailan.
Rin really has his ways of torturing people. Emotionally and mentally that is. Pero sino ba'ng niloloko natin? We all know that psychological torture is much more painful than any physical inflicted injury. Mas gugustuhin ko pang mabugbog kaysa makasama sa iisang kwarto ang taong 'to.
On second thought again, 'wag pala. Masyadong delicate ang katawan at mukha ko, hindi pwedeng magalusan. Masyado akong gwapo para masaktan.
"Hello, uncle." I murmured.
"Zeke, Zeke, Zeke." He uttered. Lalapit sana siya sa'kin para yumakap kaya napaatras ako, pero pumagitna si Rin sa'min bago pa man siya tuluyang makalapit sa'kin.
"Greetings, sir Richard!" Rin greeted with a gleeful voice.
Uncle raised his brows and looked at Rin from head to toe. "Who is this?" Uncle asked.
