Episode 08

BEFRIENDING someone is the least of Sophia's priority as Faye when to take the leap of the fate of going to an unfamiliar place like Kennedy Town. Yes, she's smiling at everyone yet can't rest her trust easily. Trust is like broken glass even if glued it all together, marks will remain visible. Nang sabihin ni Conrad na magkaibigan sila, nakadama siya ng takot. It's like repeating her greatest mistake when she met Kristoff. Can she trust Conrad? What if just like Kristoff, he'll ruin her? Isa pa, hindi pa niya alam ang totoong relasyon nito sa babaeng nasa lawaran na nakita sa loob ng opisa ni Conrad noong isang araw.

“It's getting late. I shall head home now.”

Tumalikod siya at tuloy tuloy na lumakad pabalik sa direksyon ng kanyang bahay. Doon na lang muna siya matutulog ngayon gabi at ayaw niyang sumabay kay Conrad pabalik sa cabin. She doesn't want to have an alone time with him. Hindi niya matatanggap ang pakikipagkaibigan nito. Not now or perhaps, not again.
