Limit Eight: Rumors And Issues
(9th Force – Skylar)
“Rey naman eh.” T__T
“Manahimik ka, natutulog ako.”
“Matulog ka sa kwarto mo, h’wag sa kwarto ko.” T__T
Hindi siya sumagot. Nakadapa pa rin siya sa kama ko at nakapikit ang mga mata. Grabe. Halos yung buong kama na-occupy niya. Jeez. Bigla na lang siyang kumatok kanina habang nililinisan ko si Seiya tapos yan, nahiga na siya sa kama ko at hindi na umalis d’yan.
Sinapian ata? T^T
“Rey naman eh. Ano nga kasing ginagawa mo dito? Di mo pa ako sinasagot eh.”
At mukhang wala nga ata talaga siyang balak na sagutin ako. It’s not like pupunta siya dito without the sole purpose of shouting at me or irritating the hell out of me dahil sa pagsusungit niya. Sa isang linggo kong nakakasama ‘tong mokong na ‘to, I know better than relaxing and kidding him with every little thing.
Naupo ako sa tabi ng kama. “Rey. Huy, Rey-Rey. Really. Di ka ba talaga tatayo d’yan? Cause you know feeling ko sooner or later may maghahanap na sa’yo.”
“So?”
“So-so ka d’yan. Bakit ka nga kasi nandito?”
“Gusto ko, pake mo?”
“Para kang bata. =___= Di naman pwede yun eh.”
He opened his eyes at tinignan ako. “Ako bata? *smirks* Are you insane? Mas mukha ka ngang bata kesa sa’kin.”
“Eh kasi mas bata naman talaga ako.” = . =
“Right, shut up.” he rolled his eyes heaven wards then get back to sleeping.
I had the pleasure of staring at him sa gano’ng punto. He’s… I don’t know how to put it. A manly level of handsome? I mean, given his age, hindi talaga halata. I even think that he’s too young-looking for his age. Nakakahiya ba kung sasabihin kong gwapo siya? Hindi naman di ba?
Jeez Sky. What are you thinking of? >///(5th Force – Eric)
*Tok! Tok! Tok!*
“Come in, it’s open.”
Pumasok ako ng opisina niya. I handed him the paper bag that contains ‘her’ foods na nakakagawian na ata niyang iutos sa akin. It’s not like I do have a choice. Kahit kaibigan ko siya, nakakataas pa rin siya sa akin.
“Oh. Thanks, man.”
“Heard the news?” I inquired placing the two paper bags above his desk. He shot me a ‘no-I-didn’t-what-is-it’ look that I swore wasn’t even convincing and lively. “The rumors about you and Ninth?”
Again, I can swear na nag-iba ang reaksyon ng mukha niya. From a bored blank one to a glistening amused face. “Rumors?”
“Kanina lang sa room, tinarayan niya si Miss Ark. She was called a slut and a gold-digger like the usual s**t when a girl is near you, I mean near enough to suspect of you with a relationship.”
Kumunot ang noo niya. “Akala nila may relasyon kami?”
“Everyone assumed. Since… you know what I mean?”
I saw his worried anxious expression. “How did she took the blows?”
Natawa ako with the remembrance of what just happened earlier. “I bet she’s a b***h used to defending herself in cases like that. Wala nga siyang pakialam and I personally think she’s enjoying the whole mess. She’s bitching away, Rey. I don’t think magkaka-problema. It’s all up to your reaction of course.”
I saw a hint of amusement in his eyes as he reclined to his seat. His left elbow resting to the arm chair and his palm on the side of his head as he slowly… smiled? “She’s really something isn’t she?”
“Really? Aren’t you even alarmed na baka kumalat ‘yan?”
“Alin ang kakalat?” and there she goes. Great. Just great. “Rey-Reyyyyyy! Where’s my croissant?” *___*
Sa sobrang pagka-excite ata eh tinabig na lang niya ako at nilampasan para marating ang silya na kaharap ng mesa ni Rey. Nilantakan niya ang pagkain na nakalagay sa mesa na ‘yon na parang wala nang bukas. Ang lakas talaga niyang kumain. And I can’t believe na na-a-amuse si Rey sa kanya. -___-
“Tehfjgrka, Ersheuvic. Yuhvjghng sinsjkbjgasabi mo—”
“Don’t talk when your mouth is full.” -___-
Kinuha ni Rey ang machiatto na nabili ko kanina at iniabot kay Sky na uminom dire-diretso para malunok niya ang kinakain niya. “Yun nga, yung sinasabi mo kaninang kakalat. Yung rumors ba? Kakalat sa media?”
“Why? Alarmed?” pasimple pa ‘tong si Rey, like I know better than that fool.
“Hinihintay ko nga. = . = Ang boring na kasi, tagal ko nang di nahe-headline.” :D
I swear to heavens she’s insane. “Hindi mo pa rin ba naiintindihan, Sky? Rey can’t do any of—”
“Is it this ‘good reputation, clean name’ again, Eric? Cause honestly it’s getting into my nerves. I don’t like hearing it. What’s up with Rey na hindi siya pwedeng masangkot sa kung anu-ano? Tao si Rey okay? Hayaan n’yo nga siyang mag-desisyon para sa sarili niya.”
I looked at her in a disbelieving manner. She just resumed to eating. At mas lalo namang di kapani-paniwala ‘tong si Rey. He just smirked!

Ang sarap talagaaaaa! Sana dinamihan niya yung binili niya para mas lalong okay wahahaha. But anyway, what is Eric thinking about the issue? Masaya naman ah. XD
“Kuya!”
“AY KABAYO!”
*Cough cough!*
Nag-abot si Rey ng tubig na kinuha ko naman. Baka mamatay ako. -__- Naubos ko na kasi yung macchiato. Yung kape na lang niya ang natitira. Eeeh! Gusto ko pa nu’n. Dapat natambay ako du’n sa coffee shop eh.
“The hell, Zone?”
“Yeah right, Rey, the hell? What are these rumors about? Naglinis na ako ng isa nagsisimula ka na naman! Tumigil ka na utang na loob!”
My eyes widened in confusion. Sinigawan niya ang kuya niya. At si Zone for goodness sake. First time lang niyang sumigaw. Teka nga, bakit parang na-offend ako sa sigaw niya kay Rey? Eeeh? @___@a
“Don’t yell.”
Bumaling ang matalim na titig niya sa’kin. Nag-iwas ako tapos kumain ulit. I heard Rey sighed. “You don’t need to clean anything now, it’s fine.”
“What fine? Are you insane?”
“What is this all about, Zone? Me and Sky? What’s so insane in this? Look. Labas ka na do’n kung totoo man lahat ng kumakalat na balita. Wala ka na do’n, we can handle the issue very well.”
“You don’t plan on stopping this, do you?”
“It’s rather amusing. I don’t.”
Zone gritted his teeth. “Fine then be it.”
He shot a last glare to me then walked out of the door. Nag-pout ako after seeing him gone. Bakit napaka-big deal ng issue sa kanila? They should have fun with it. It’s interesting.
“Sky?”
“I don’t get it, Rey. Bakit napaka-big deal nu’n sa kanila? Parang ang laking kasalanan ah.”
“Never mind them, just eat and get out.”
Balik na naman siya sa dating attitude. = o =
Dear Sasame,
Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit but I find the issue with Rey such a funny and entertaining thing to ride on. Nagtataka nga ako eh. Ang dali kasing sabihin na wala kaming relasyon para mapatahimik ang mga tao pero we ended up like standing for the rumor itself.
Ang gulo noh?
Pinangatawanan na,
Death Hunter
P.S.
Feeling ko nagse-selos si Zone. Tingin mo?
