Opposite

Chapter 25

Harlow's brain stuttered for a moment and her eyes took in more light than she expected, every part of her went on pause while her thoughts caught up.

Tyson's face could not be painted as well when he heard the news. He loved the couple even though he just knew them for days, and he would not accept if he ended his mission in Willow Village tragically.

"Nasaan sila?" Harlow asked Farris.

"S-sa bahay," he stuttered.

The moment Harlow and Tyson heard that from him, they immediately ran, then Farris followed. Halos madapa at mapatid na sila sa bilis ng takbo. They didn't know already what to do and how to feel.

Ano ba ang nangyari? Bakit sobrang bilis na lamang ng mga pangyayari?

They just continued running until they reached Farris' house. Sa labas pa lamang ay marami nang mga tao, so they knew there was really something wrong.

Sa kapal ng mga tao ay nahirapan sa pagdaaan ang tatlo. The people were mourning that made the two even more nervous. Sinubukan nilang makipagsiksikan pa hanggang sa makarating na sila sa loob.

The moment Harlow and Tyson entered the house, they were welcomed with confettis, then every person in and out of the house started shouting.

"It's a prank!"

Tyson and Harlow were both confused. They wandered their eyes all throughout the house; all sides and corners were decorated. Maraming ring nakahaing pagkain sa mesa.

If this was about the couple's death, it would not be like this, so prank nga lang ba talaga?

Kung gayon, halos mawalan ng hininga ang dalawa sa narinig nila. They were scared to death, tapos prank lang pala ang lahat.

"Hindi n'yo ba alam?" Farris said. "Patay na talaga sina Kuya Lupio at Ate Lully."

"What? Stop kiddin'!" Harlow said. "'Di ba prank lang 'to, sabi n'yo?"

Farris laughed. "Prank na hindi prank. Nakalimutan n'yo na ba, lahat tayong tao rito sa Heallven ay patay na."

It took the two a minute to think of what he had said. Halos sumabog ang utak nila sa kaiisip dahil napakagulo ng mga pangyayari.

"Oo nga!" Harlow said after some time. "Bakit hindi ko naisip agad 'yon? What the fuck."

"Me too, I didn't think of that. We are the living dead nga pala," Tyson added.

Then, all the people in the house started laughing. Kahit ang dalawa ay natawa na lang din sa naging reaksyon nila. Well, that only showed how they cared so much for the couple. Ang dami nang natulong sa kanila ng mag-asawa. Hindi nila alam kung anong gagawin nila at kung saan sila patutungo kung wala sila. But actually, all the people of Heallven were good.

"So nasaan na sina Kuya Lupio and Ate Lully?" Harlow asked. "At para saan ito?"

"Nandito kami!"

Lupio and Lully then came out of the crowd. Masaya nilang sinalubong at niyakap ang dalawa.

"Ang pagdiriwang na ito ay para sa inyong dalawa," Lupio said. "Ilang oras na lang, aalis na kayo, kaya naghanda na kami."

Harlow then started crying, hindi na nga niya napigilan. She was indeed surprised, ni wala siyang nakitang bakas sa surpresa na iyon.

Tyson was also touched. Hindi siya iyong tipo ng taong mabilis lumambot ang puso sa mga ganoong bagay, pero biglang na lamang nagbago ang ihip ng hangin.

Wala pang isang linggo an kanilang pananatili sa Willow, pero marami na silang naipon na mga alaala. They didn't just gain memories from the best people, but they also learned a lot of lessons from their experiences. Tunay nga na iba ang idinulot sa kanila ng mundo ng Heallven. Kung ganoon din lamang kasaya ang mabuhay sa ganoong mundo, mas lalo pa nilang gagalingan sa kanilang mga susunod na gawain.

The two thanked Lupio and Lully for everything, even to Farris they gave their gratitudes, and to all the people who surrounded them. They expressed their love to them as well.

When they were done speaking their words, they thought it was already time to eat, but they were wrong. On the crowd, there came appeared Amora; she was on her white blouse tucked in with her mustard long skirt. She was indeed stunning especially that she was wearing her sweet smile.

Bigla namang nakaramdam ng kakaiba si Harlow sa biglaang paglabas ni Amora. She was somehow jealous especially that Tyson was stucked on her. He never saw him looked at her that way, it was kinda rude for her. Pinigilan niya sa pag-usok ang kaniyang ilong, lalo na't maraming nakakakita. Though she really wanted to punch Tyson, she didn't, besides she wanted to care for her reputation.

Amora walked near to them, still wearing her smile.

Harlow looked again at Tyson. Mas lumawak pa ang ngiti nito nang lumapit ang dalaga. "Humanda 'to mamaya sa akin," she thought to herself.

But then she realized something at the same time. Sino ba siya para magselos? Sino ba siya para magalit? Hindi sila ni Tyson at hindi niya siya pagmamay-ari. Anytime, he could stare sweetly at other girls. Puwede siyang magandahan at maakit sa ibang babae.

"You're gorgeous as always," Tyson said to Amora.

Well that was kinda unacceptable for Harlow, but because of her realization, she controlled herself, her feelings. Minsan, kaya rin nasasaktan ang isang tao ay dahil masyado siyang nagpapadaloy sa emosyon.

Amora thanked Tyson for the compliment.

Harlow then wandered her eyes and observed the people. They were looking at the two as if a romantic couple in Farris' house. Kaunting push na lamang ay puwede na silang magkaroon ng sariling movie na puwedeng ipanood sa buong mundo ng Heallven.

She was hurting herself by creating fake scenarios inside her head. She was so jealous, not until...

"Maraming salamat sa laging papuring ibinibigay mo kay Amora," Farris said as he walked closer to Amora and held her waist.

What was the meaning of that?

Both Tyson and Harlow's eyes grew bigger. They didn't speak for a moment. Was there something between Farris and Amora?

Harlow wandered her eyes again all throughout the place. The people seemed to be not shocked of the happenings. In fact, they were smiling, they were acting like there was nothing surprising.

Then, she turned her gaze to Farris and Amora. They were both smiling as well, doon niya rin napagtanto na bagay ang dalawa. Parang mayroon talagang kakaiba...

"W-what do you mean by that?" Tyson asked.

There was silence for a moment. Harlow was already assuming of something, so there was a little happiness inside her. Pero ayaw niya pa ring magpakampante, so she just prepared her heart to whatever Farris would let them know.

"Tyson," Farris looked at him, "Harlow..." then he looked at her. "Ikinagagalak kong ipakilala sa inyo si Amora, ang aking asawa."

Harlow and Tyson's eyes grew even bigger. Did they hear it right? Or it might be a prank again?

Sina Farris at Amora ay mag-asawa?
