CHAPTER 44: Drown from the Past

Kier's Point of View

(1 week ago the same day when Shane confessed to Valerie.)

Ang sarap talaga minsan na may ganitong araw na wala akong gagawin kung hindi ang mag marathon ng mga paborito kong tv series at movies.

I've spent the whole day not even looking at my phone and just watching and eating snacks with my dog, Pogi. Pero kahit pa sobrang longing ako sa ganitong araw, hindi pa rin maiiwasan na ma-bored ako at mag hanap ng ibang gagawin.

Nag-check ako ng phone ko at nakita kong may pinadalang picture si Valerie.

Picture nila ni Shane.

"Okay, so they are dating..."

"Okay lang. Who cares?"

Inihagis ko ang phone ko sa malambot na upuan at nagpatuloy sa panonood. Pero nairita ako bigla. Hindi ako mapakali at naiinis ako.

Sabi ko okay lang kung nag de-date sila ngayon, pero iba ang sambit ng damdamin at utak ko.

Madali kong kinuha ang aking phone para mag message kay Valerie at itanong kung nasaan sila. Nang biglang mag salita si Darth Vader sa movie na star wars mula sa movie na pinapanood ko sa TV.

Luke, I am your father!

Bigla kong naalala si Jana. She used to imitate that line and she'd say.

Pogi, I am your mother!

Natatawa pa ako no'n kasi ang cute cute niya habang ginagawa niya 'yon. Iyong tipong ang ganda gandang babae pero may pag ka-geek din minsan.

I suddenly skipped sending a message to Valerie then I called Mia. She answered right away like she was waiting for it.

"Hello, Mia Rivera speaking!" 

"Hi Mia! Si Kier 'to."

"Oh! Hi Kier! Napatawag ka?"

"Ah... Nothing... Just checking you out. How's it going?"

"I'm actually at work. Just finishing some files."

"Sorry, Mia. Naistorbo pala kita. Maybe I'll just call you later?"

"No, It's okay. I really need a break from this files. I'm actually glad that you call. Ano ginagawa mo?"

"Nanonood lang ng movie, rest day ko e."

"Oh really? Buti ka pa. Kainggit. What movie?"

"Star wars! Mina-marathon ko lang lahat ng part."

"Oh my! Gusto ko rin 'yan! Alam mo ba? When I was 13, my friends want to have boyfriends, prince charmings, bad boys, and puppy love, those other girly stuff but when they asked me what I want..."

She laughed on the other line with her sweet voice.

"Ang sabi ko, gusto ko maging Jedi or pilot ng X-Swing fighter! Tapos 'yon iba na mga naging friends ko. Karamihan mga geek na boys na."

Napangiti ako parehas pa sila ni Jana ng hilig. "Talaga? Parehas pala tayo! Ako naman, gusto ko noon maging Sith lord."

She chuckled, "Mag kalaban pala tayo e." Napabuntong hininga si Mia. "Na-miss ko na manood niyan."

"Well, I am watching it right now but I can pause it for you if you want to join me?" Tanong ko.

"Hmmm..."

"Kainis ka!" Natawa siya. "Ang hirap tanggihan ng offer mo! Sige I'll be there in a few minutes. Pause mo muna a?"

"Sige, I'll text you my address. Paghahanda kita ng Nachos."
