To Adora, The Melting Dreams. (BOOK 1)

#7; what lies inside her heart

Cutie Fruga on the picture! 💚

"And we are here to officially sign the contract which needed the presence of the signee and the contractor." Fruga formally started, seryoso ang mukha nito habang nakaupo ng diretso sa aking harap. inabot niya sa akin ang mga papel na mukhang makakapal bawat pahina. Mabigat ito at para bang hindi gawa sa purong papel lamang.

"Adora, bilang taga-hawak ng kapalaran ni Zoe sa ngayon, ikaw na ang legal niyang guardian. And I'll be the guardian of the both of you, the contractor." He explained, using his hands to freely point himself as our so called guardian. halos hindi ko masikmura ang sinasabi niya, with a confused look on my face I once again asked him to explain it.

"Come again? I don't get any of it." I honestly said, moving my hands infront of me, holding it to each other as I tried to focuse on our conversation.

Bigla siyang napa-irap sa hangin kasabay ang malalim na buntong hininga nito. He looked at me for a second and decided to exlain it agin, agad din namang siyang nag-patuloy pa sa pag-papaintindi sa akin.

"Adora, pinalabas mo si Zoe sa mundong ito. You are legally liable with whatever is involved with him, the guardian. And I, biglang taga-hatid kay Zoe sa mundo mo, I am considered as the contractor of the whole agreement, mula sa pinaka-unang contract hangang sa huli." He casually opened the suit besides him and took out another paper. Inabot niya ito sa akin at automatic namang tinaggap iyon g aking kamay.

It's the same kind of paper, kulay beige nga lang iyon ngunit matigas din tulad ng mga nauna.

"This will be the last contract that will be made with Zoe and me once more." Tinuro niya ang papel na kulay beige sa aking kamay. Pinagmasdan ko iyon ngunit kahit anong basa ang gawin ko ay walang nakasulat, blanko.

It's just a blank paper, I gave him the what-the-heck face. Pakiramdam ko'y pinag loloko na lamang ako nito. Baka naman ay hindi talaga totoo lahat ng sinasabi nito sa akin ngayon?

"Joke ba 'to?" Walang gana kong tanong. Padabog na inilapag ang papel na hawak at hindi na maipinta ang mukha habang pinag-mamasdan si Fruga.

"Sa ngayo'y blanko yan but as you and Zoe pave you own future---" humawak siya sa kaniyang sentido at panandaliang pumikit. Para bang may iniisip at hindi iyon sang ayon sa kaniyang utak.

"The contract itself writes it's own contract." Despite being hesitant, he continued. His eyebrows shot up and gave me an assuring smile. Malayo sa stressed nitong hitsura seconds ago.

"The final contract is called the 'final judgement', ito lang naman ang mag-dedesisyon kung anong gagawin kay Zoe after natin matapos ang 4th contract Adora." His deep eyes were communicating with mine, para bang may sinasabi itong iba kumpara sa lumalabas sa kaniyang bibig. Muli niyang tinuro sa akin ang ballpen at muling nag-salita.

"Ano? shall we get started?" He suggested, while he points at the ballpen in front of me.

Kinabahan ako sa kaniyang seryosong mga titig. Bumaba ang aking paningin sa ballpen at sa contract at bumalik ulit kay Fruga.

He slowly blinked, para bang isang assurance na siya ang bahala sa akin, ganoon rin ang ginawa ko. It's my usual habit whenever I tries to Communicate with my cat,

ngayo'y ganito parin pala ang aming way of communication kahit tao na ito at nagsasalita na sa aking harap mismo.

I took a deep breath and with a trembling hand--- I took the pen. All my trust in him will be the foundation of the liability of this contract.
