Chapter 8

Rain's POV

As I take a rest on the sofa, the others continue on tidying up. I want to help them but Louie won't let me because of my injury. It's just a sprain, nothing serious but he give me a stern glare so I can't do anything, can I?

I'm bored, I also want to do something but no, I can't! Luckily, Allen is currently the one walking in front of me and I got an idea.

"Hey, Allen!" I called out to him

"Hey, is there a problem?" He asks as he walks towards me

"No, there is no problem... Oh, wait. Actually there is."

He just chuckles and gestures me to go on.

"You see, I'm bored, I can't do anything. I'm just sitting here, waiting for you guys to finish up. And then, I saw you..." I purposely let my words hang

"So, what do you want to do?" He asks

"Uhm, can you put the TV on? I want to entertain myself by watching anything available."

Ugh, I know you guys think that what I'm doing is embarrassing but I really want to get rid of my boredom. And this is the only way I can think of.

"Oh, is that so?"

I nodded my head as an answer.

"Alright, I'll let you watch." He said and he walk to their flat screen and open it.

"Here, you choose what you want to watch." He handed me the remote

"Thanks." I beamed at him and he chuckles while ruffling my hair.

"I'll go help the others now, enjoy!"

I just waved at him as I focus my full attention in front of me. I check the available channels their cable has. I saw a lot of movie channels so I checked it out one by one.

There is PBO (Pinoy Box Office) Channel, it is showing 'Pagpag: Siyam na Buhay' starring Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla. It revolves around the traditional Filipino belief that one should never go home directly after visiting a wake since it risks bringing evil spirits or the deceased to one's home.

Ugh, I don't like this story. I also don't believe in any of this Filipino traditions. I stole foods, look at myself in the mirror, and I even don't do that 'pagpag' but I'm still alive

Next, Cinema One, another Pinoy Movie Channel, it's showing 'That Thing Called Tadhana' starring Angelica Panganiban and JM De Guzman. It's about the story of 2 people who met at an airport in Rome and upon arriving in the Philippines, decide to go places together. While the female protagonist tries to forget and move on from a failed relationship, the male protagonist recalls his own disappointments, failures and struggles. In the process of trying to mend their broken hearts, they develop a kinship that progressively deepens as they get to know each other better.

Psh, another romantic comedy. It's so boring!

In TMC (Tagalized Movie Channel), 'Rambo: Last Blood' starring Sylvester Stallone is showing. Rambo ( Stallone's character) travels to to save his adopted niece, who has been kidnapped by a Mexican cartel and forced into prostitution.

Oooh, the movie is great but, ugh, it's tagalized!

The first 3 channels are no good so I switch to another channel.

Next is Warner Bros. Channel. And guess what, one of Harry Potter Series which is the first is on!

Yes, finally!

It's the part where the Golden Trio and Draco joins Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest as part of their detention. They are going to look for any injured Unicorn. They split into 2 groups: Hagrid, Hermione and Ron in one group and Draco, Harry with Fang (Hagrid's Dog) in another.

The entertaining part is coming. And there, Draco screamed at the top of his lungs when they saw a hooded figure drinking the Unicorn's blood, turns towards their direction.

I'm laughing so hard that I didn't notice someone sat beside me.

"Why are you laughing?"

I jolt from shock when somebody spoke beside me and that person laughed. I turned to Ron, annoyed

"What the..., you surprised me!" I spat at him

He just continue on laughing and I rolled my eyes at him then went back to watch the movie.

After a while, Ron stopped laughing and I enjoyed the silence between us. The only noise you can hear is from Ron. Not Ron beside me but Ron Weasley. Ugh, Why should they have the same name? He is screaming because the Devil Snare caught them.

"You like that movie, don't you?" Ron suddenly asked

"Don't just call the Harry Potter Series 'that'. And to answer your question, no I don't like it." I answered, not even taking my eyes off the screen

"What, you don't like it? The way I see it, when you said I shouldn't call the movie 'that' and how you're so into it, tells me that you do."

I can sense his confusion and that make me laugh.

"Why are you laughing?"

I look at him and I saw that he is frowning while looking at me and I laughed more because of that. He's frowning more so I tried to calm myself. When I feel that I'm ok, I start explaining to him.

"You're right about you're observation. I'm very much into Harry Potter Series. But still, I don't like it..."

Ron frowns again "Then what?"

"I LOVE IT!" I answered as I smiled playfully at him then I turned back to the screen in front.

Few seconds pass and I didn't here any response from him. Curious, I crane my neck to look at him and the view is hilarious.

There he is, looking back at me, eyes wide in disbelief, in other words, dumbfounded. I started to laugh again and that woke him up from his trance.

"You're corny." He said and I just laughed at him

"I see you guys are having fun." Someone behind us talked

"Aww, wae, are you jealous oppa?" I asked Louie teasingly

/*Wae means Why*/

"And why would why?" He teases back

"Maybe because you don't want me having fun with other man." I fired back. Of course I can't lose, duh

He didn't answered back so I flashed him a victorious smile then I looked back again on the screen. It's the final scene already.

"Ugh, I can't believe I missed the Trio's encounter, protecting the stone!" I whined

"Tsk, may I remind you Rain, it's the nth time that you're watching it." Louie retorted

"Psh, and you call yourself my oppa? You know how I love that Series."

"Hey, hey what are you arguing about?" Allen asked emerging from the kitchen with the others

"Oh, you guys are finished already?" I asked, changing the topic

"Yeah, were done."

"Oh, yeah!" I exclaimed while jumping off the sofa but then I loose my footing and I should have hit the floor if not for someone who quickly catches me.

I look at who caught me and I met Ron's eye. We both noticed that our faces are so near each other so he quickly sits me back on the couch, avoiding any eye-contact

~Rrrring~ ~rrrring~

Huh, what's that?

I look around to find where the ringing is coming from but I can't.

~Rrrring~ ~rrrring~

There it is again.

~Rrrring~ ~rrrring~

I opened my eyes and I saw that I was my room, lying on my bed.
