The following morning, Aoina still sat next to me. Wala kaming kibuan 'di tulad nitong nakaraang araw na 'di siya nawawalan ng kwento.
"Nate," tawag niya, which caught me off guard.
"What?" I replied.
"Sabi ni Aoife nagkita raw kayo kahapon sa book store?"
"It was just a coincidence."
"Sabi niya sinundan mo raw siya?"
"Do you believe her?"
"Of course not. Ganyan talaga utak niyan pagdating sa mga lalaki. Akala mo palagi siyang hinahabol."
"Hinahabol in what way?"
"Ano... hind siya naniniwala sa destiny at coincidence. She thinks na sinusundan siya ng mga admirer niya."
"Admirer?" I laughed. "She really thinks highly of herself, doesn't she?"
Talaga, huh? I don't think she has the characteristics to adore. She's not even as good as Aoina.
"Hayaan mo nalang," she laughed softly.
