Inabala ni Eleanor ang sarili sa pakikinig sa tunog ng windchime, gawa ng sunod sunod na pagpasok ng mga tao sa pastry house kung saan sila naroroon. 

Flare insisted on ordering their foods alone. Kaya sya na lamang ang naghanap ng mesang makakainan nila.

Maagang natapos ang misyon niya sa Scarletti. With mo major casualties that are needed for her to handle, she was able to resume with her classes. Yun nga lang, patapos na ang nakascheduled nyang klase sa oras na yun kaya hindi sya nakapasok. She missed one class again. Sanay na syang palagi itong nangyayari, ang tangi nyang problema ay ang striktong pagcheck ng attendance na pinapatupad ng eskwelahan. She was once been called to the dean's office because of that matter. Seguradong ipapatawag na naman sya doon.

Napabuntong hininga sya. She doesn't like to be called there, masyadong nakaka-attract ng atensyon. Ang kaso, she can't handle it with 'her way'. Since she's on the act of being a normal student, ang tangi nyang magagawa ay sumunod na lamang. She can't also let the Collins handle such simple matters. 

Masyado silang nakaka-attract ng atensyon. 

Bigla syang may naisip na nagpainit ng kaniyang pisngi. How does Fourth handle these small things with his busy schedule? She wonders how it would feel to have freedom with her identity. 

Kailangan nya munang tapusin ang sinimulan nya para makamtam iyon.

Napatingin sya sa kaniyang cellphone, putting away her previous thoughts. Maliban sa text ni Sky na hinihintay nya, walang lamang bagong message kahit kanino ang kaniyang message box. 

Clicking Fourth Ycarius' name made her panicked. Well, maybe a little. Hindi parin sya makapaniwalang makakapagbigay ng mga ganoon epekto ang nararamdaman nya. Wether it's like or it's already love, it makes her feel heavy emotions that she never felt with being hit by a bullet or being chased by machine guns. 

Its new and confusing. 

Panay ang tipa at pagdelete nya ng mga letra sa keyboard ng kaniyang cellphone. Hindi sya sanay na magtext maliban nalang kung importante iyon or related sa Scarletti. Sa pagkaka-alala nya, 'first move' ang tawag ni Flare doon. She's never done such move, kung buhay pag-ibig ang pag-uusapan. 

"Ay, ang kaibigan ko, mukhang malaking problema yang nasa cellphone mo ha?" 

Mabilis nyang tinago ang cellphone nya ng marinig si Flare. Kaagad syang tumayo para tulungan ito sa mga bitbit na tray. 

"Sino ba yun? Si Fourth ba? Hindi nagrereply? Ghinost ka ba nya?" Sunod-sunod na tanong ni Flare ng maka-upo sila.

"H-hindi. Wala yun." Simple nyang sagot. "Nasaan na daw sila? Papunta na ba?" tukoy nya sa kanilang groupmates.

"Oo, papunta na daw sila." She answered, "Pero wag mo ngang e change topic agad! Pag-usapan muna natin yung pinoproblema mo kanina sa phone mo." Mabilis nyang lahad.

"It wasn't a problem." Eleanor insisted. 

Mas lalong sumalubong ang mga kilay ni Flare. "I-I was just thingking of texting him, that's all." Aniya sabay subo ng cupcake. 

"Eh? Wag mo sabihing hindi kayo nagte-text araw araw?" Nagtatakang aniya.

Eleanor got confused. "Dapat ba araw-araw na nagtetext?" Inosente nyang tanong.

"Hindi naman, pero atleast great each other everyday? Do you do that?" Tanong nyang muli.

Umiling si Eleanor. 

Nung nakaraan ay nakaka-receive sya ng mga text kay Fourth. Seguro ng mahalata nitong iniiwasan nya ang lalaki ay tumigil ito sa pagtext at pagtawag. And he just suddenly appeared in front of her door yesterday and the rest happened. 

Nagka-usap sila't nagkaayos. Maayos din silang naghiwalay kaninang umaga. Seguro'y alam din nitong busy sya kaya hindi ito nagtext?

She laughed at the thought that she's contemplating over a trivial thing. Inilapag na lamang nya ang cellphone sa mesa at binalewala na lamang ang topikong iyon. 

"Just text him! Kahit hi lang, magrereply yun." Flare pushed.

Umiling sya, "Kalimutan mo nalang, baka busy yun." Aniya.

"Oh come on! He's your husband! Simpleng text lang!" 

She shushed Flare immediately. Isigaw ba naman na asawa nya si Fourth? Her friend is seriously loud.

"Don't shout!" pabulong nyang sigaw.

"Sus! Wala naman akong binanggit na pangalan!" Natatawang saad nya.

Flare stood up and sat on the chair beside her. Pinulot nito ang cellphone ni Eleanor sa mesa at inilahad sa kamay ni El.

"Come on, text him!" Excited na aniya.

Para mapatigil ang pangungulit ng kaibigan ay pinagbigyan ito ni El. 

"Sabihin mo, I miss you, para reply agad." bungisngis ni Flare. 

Eleanor cringed at the statement and begun typing. Awtomatikong nakisilip si Flare sa cellphone.

Eleanor: Are you at work?

Kita ni El ang pagngiwi ni Flare sa gilid ng mata nya.

"Seriously, friend? Dapat open ended ang tinanong mo, hindi answerable by yes or no." 

Her eyes rolled at her friend. "Ok na yun." 

Flare's lips pouted that made her laugh. Napa-iling na lamang sya, hindi naman kasi ang kakaibigan ang sasalo ng awkwardness at hiya kapag sinunod nya ang sinabi nito. Mabuti ng play safe sya. Buntong hiningang bumalik si Flare sa nauna nyang upuan. 

Eleanor looked around the place, checking if their groupmates have arived. Saktong dumapo ang mga mata nya sa entrada ng lugar ay pumasok din ang mga hinihintay nila. 

"They're here." Anunsyo nya. 

Lumingon si Flare sa kung saan sya nakatingin saka tumayo para tawagin ang mga ito. 

"Guys!" Sigaw ni Flare.

The three girls turned to their direction as they heard Flare's voice. Kumaway ang mga ito pabalik sakanila. 

Habang naglalakad papunta sa mesa nila ay abala ang mga ito sa pakikipag-usap sa isa't-isa. It made the two of them curious, well, a little for Eleanor and a lot for Flare. Ng makarating sa mesa nila ay kaagad itong tinanong ni Flare.

She really can't stop herself from asking. Naisip ni Eleanor. Napatingin sya sa mga ito. Hindi maitago sa ekspresyon ni Flare ang kyuryusidad habang nakikipag-usyoso. 

"Anong tea mga teh? Pasagap naman." 

Sabay na umupo ang tatlong babae sa natitirang upuan bago sumagot sa tanong ni Flare. 

"Nakita daw kasi nitong si Josia si Fourth De Salvo sa kabilang restaurant kanina." Sagot ni Kye.

"May kasamang babae!" Madie blurted, ginaya nito ang tunog ng mga marites kapag nikikipagchismisan.

"Bagay sayo girl!" Flare high fived with Madie.

"But it's true! I saw him with a girl and a child." Ani Josie.

Pasimpleng nakikinig si Eleanor sa usapan ng mga ito habang kumakain ng cupcake. She glanced at her phone. 

Wala pang update mula kina Sky at Cloud.

Wala ring reply mula kay Fourth Ycarius. Maybe he's busy with business matters. Hindi naman ganoon ka importante ang text nya.

"Baka nagmeeting about sa business?" Suhestyon ni Flare.

Eleanor agreed in her mind. She's not familiar how these things work. Kaya walang pagdududa sa kaniyang isipan. Ang iniisip nyang rason ay ang trabaho nito. Fourth Ycarius is a CEO afterall.

"They didn't act like they're on a business meeting tho." Balik ni Josie na syang nakakuha ng atensyon ni El. 

"But you're not sure na si Fourth yun diba?" ani Madie, "Ang sabi mo nakita mo sila doon sa restaurant habang nasa loob ka ng tumatakbo nyong kotse." Pangkukomperma nito.

"Hindi naman daw pala sure, Friend!" baling sakaniya ni Flare na syang ikinagulat niya.

"H-huh?" Nautal nya.

"And I heard his cousin got back from the states with her son! Baka sila yun." Dagdag pa ni Madie.

"Ay yun naman pala! Ikaw El, may chika ka?" 

"W-wala. Let's just start with our meeting." Suhestyon nya.

Everyone agreed and stopped talking about Fourth Ycarius. Na sya namang ikinaginhawa ni Eleanor. It made her uncomfortable, lalo na dahil sa nanunuksong mata ng bestfriend nya. 

Naalala nya ang mga magagandang nangyari sakanila ni Fourth kagabi at nitong umaga. Ayaw nyang masira iyon ng hindi seguradong mga impormasyon. 

Just like earlier, their meeting had a great flow. Panay ang silip nya sa cellphone para tinginan ang kaniyang message box. But still, Eleanor received nothing. 

Ng tumunog ito ay kaagad nyang binuksan, na syang nakakuha ng atensyon ni Flare. Her friend looked at her with a teasing smile on her face. She opened the phone and found out that Sky texted her. 

Sky: She's here Empress. My brother's got excited, ikinulong ba naman yung bisita natin.

Eleanor can imagine Sky's crazy face ang voice while reading the text. Agad syang tumipa para magreply.

Eleanor: I'll just text you when we're done with our meeting.

Ibinaba nya ang cellphone at tumingin sa labas. She got a glimpse of the man's face who was standing on the other side of the road. Segurado syang nakatingin ito sa direksyon nila kanina.

The familiar man turned around and walked away. Nawala ito sa paningin ni Eleanor ng may dumaang sasakyan.

"El pwede mo bang echeck kung tama 'to?" Pagtawag ni Josie.

Ibinalik na lamang nya ang atensyon sa kanilang ginagawa at kinalimutan sandali ang nakita. 

She needs to finish with their work. May bisita pa syang naghihintay sa Scarletti.

"She came at peace." Sagot ni Sky, "She said she has something to tell you in exchange for her subordinates." dagdag pa niya."And what is it? Is it worth the bargain?" Muli nyang tanong."Ayaw nyang sabihin hanggat wala ka dito." Napataas ang kilay ni Eleanor. At paano naman na laman ng babaeng yun na wala sya sa Scarletti? "How did she know?" Tumaas ang balikat ni Sky Kristos, "That, we have no idea of. Kaya nga isinelda kaagad sya ni Twinnie ng sabihin nya iyon." He answered. Huminto sila ng marating ang kwarto ni Cloud.

Hindi naman ganoon kalaki ang ekspektasyon nya. But the fact that she expected Fourth Ycarius to be waiting in front of her condo’s door like what he said, and saw no one, created a slight pang in her chest. She was taken aback and the small smile she unconsciously had on her face faded. She walked towards the direction of her place – acting normal. Pero hindi ma-deny ang matamlay na ekspresyon sa mukha ni Eleanor. She didn’t realize that her lips are pouting while looking at her message box. Nagsimula syang tumipa sa kaniyang cellphone. ‘I’m just gonna notify him that I’m here.’ Aniya sa isip. ‘We agreed to meet here, so texting him is normal.’ Dagdag pa nya, kinukumb

Or wait… ikaw ba ang humalik kay Fourth!?” Kahit nasa loob sila ng kaniyang condo ay nakakahiya paring pakinggan ang tanong nito. Lalo na’t napakalakas talaga ng pagkatanong ng kaibigan niya.Pagkatapos niyon ay pinagpatuloy nya ang pagkukuwento habang inaalala ang bawat detalye ng mga nangyari kagabi, basi sakanyang perspektibo.“Are you… going to sleep already?” mahinanahong tanong ni Fourth Ycarius ng pigilan sya nitong lumayo.Ramdam ni Eleanor ang mabilis na pag-init ng kanyang pisngi.

Maybe because it’s Eleanor’s first time asking something related to his personal life. Kaya ito nagulat. Simula ng pinalibutan sila ng katahimikan ay nag-iisip na si Eleanor ng puwede nilang pag-usapan. And the scene with her group mates earlier popped up in her mind. Kaya ito ang kaniyang naitanong.

She never expected to hear another person’s name with the same surname as hers. Especially in this party. She had thought about a lot of possible information she can get from the person who invited her to the party, and from the party itself.
