Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S8NTDQc85
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX1KZ8Fpeq
Tumawa naman siya nang bahagya. Napatitig tuloy ako sa kaniya. He's like a brother to me yet the way he stares at me right now is kind of a bit unusual. Nang napansin ko ang pag-iwas niya ay umiwas na rin ako. Sakto rin naman ang pagdating ng dalawa kong kaibigan. I have my sistie but she is not around for some reason. Kaya sumama na lang ako sa kanila. But even if she were here, I know hindi niya rin magugusstuhan ang vibes ng mga ito.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarSenMGWcK
"Rianne, dude..." hinihingal na sinabi ni Klink, habang nasa gilid naman niya si Japet.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYXQiBvHKY
Khan brows meet.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0fVj044rK
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxDOEYZLCO
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonkHccu8Vy
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfkivrc7dx
Neil is having a serious injury dahil sa back-lift niya. I cross my arms over my chest, glaring at my brother who gave me nothing but problem.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzUFXa13WR
"Sis..." he starts.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaytpv6tsmK
I glance at Khan who is mouthing Japet and Klink before he snakes his hands over their shoulders. I follow them in my vision as I swing back my gaze at my brother, who is now smirking, for, maybe some reason. I restrain to look at the wall so our sight would not meet. Damn!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Uxknyu8i
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K23BtfhHJ
I shake my head.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoir1C1hHeQ
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYSWy5dLOH
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq865SHHTo
Linagok niya ang tubig. Habang ibinalik ko naman ang paningin sa harapan. He's right, hindi na nga ito kagaya nang dati. Malaking improvement at renovation na ang nagawa rito panigurado.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz0uuD0EWW
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4sqKBMRJK
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPtdbCb8z1
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDqdXJf63q
I take a deep breath.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtphLKUUVga
Nang maggabi ay napagdesisyunan ko nang tumuloy muna roon. My brother needs me. I weigh the glass of water in my hand when my phone ring. I glance at the caller. I take a sip and put it back on the side near my phone. I nibble my lips as I swipe the icon sideways.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfALS571ZY
"Hello?" I begin.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFZRKxBPh8
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfo6YfjGeG
"Yep," I reply.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlUdDpsQKZ
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHAJhEGNAI
Ano na naman kaya ang kailangan nito? I remember he was once asked me to go with him for out of town trip. Akalain mo ba naman, nag-aya pero bukas na ang finals namin. Ibang nilalang.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52RXZa1wXg
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1YciXWCPA
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrbOduOFJu
At hindi ko na nga napiligang matawa sa accent ng mokong. Hindi naman sa kinukutya ko ang accent niya, pero ang cute lang kasi. Sino ba namang hindi ma kyu-kyutan 'pag narinig mo ang gano'ng accent.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr98gaYRuV
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagTQTYxuQ3
"Saan?"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IbMlmFJzX
"To my grandmother's Casa."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosMhT0QgYY
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe3IPxrYet
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6TVla9XBU
"Okay, where?"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj9ZyKyMmn
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXllr1eQ5J3
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul98bu8okK
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJgd0ufQz4
"Yep!"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQla07a30HB
"Thanks. Good night."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6jyUQQI0t
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbIzBB1gSO
Later that day, I am now walking in Arellano University to see my friend. I felt gross with my outfit—skinny jeans and a waistline shirt. Kung nagpaparamdam lang sana ang dalaginding, I won't visit here. I raises my chin. As I step into the library, I saw her talking with a guy. I paused while my blood boils for a second. The audacity of this woman is celestial.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQOK718mFe
I purse my lips as I march my feet onto her direction. Nang makita niya ako, ay bigla niyang itinulak 'yong lalaki. Ang kapal talaga ng babaeng ito.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMODE5DMFHA
"Later..."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VNSu8c9AV
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHiz0aGp8B
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJRCN4YhQ2
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDc5KIvfWr
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk9EXgaBge
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSipZeB2it
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZRxIqLfsp
"See? Inuna mo pa ang landi kaysa mag-aral," I lecture, glaring her. "Rox, I know you're adult already. Pero sana, pahalagaan mo naman ang pag-aaral mo."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk79htTUC4E
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgqZq2eddG
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsz7W5jsBO
She pouts, smirking.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGLditp0KO
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnWeBP3TC1
I roll my eyes.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡals7kPhueA
We cross the College of business hanggang sa 'di kalaunan ay nakarating na rin kami sa cafeteria. I don't know, but I have this feeling na parang may sumusunod sa amin. Or I am just hallucinating. Never mind.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA108EC0hQM
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXw00AYM2o
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ125KLUXVj0
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZALm216JnT
"Hi, miss beutiful."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOnxgHlA4b
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFRshDjF6f
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FdNiA8WxF
Moved 'yon. Tanga. Pero teka, bakit may contact itong kung sino mang anak ng kurimaw na ito sa akin? I dart my sight at Roxianne. She gives me a perplexing look.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf91c2lrJmn
My eyes dwindle.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tomBFC3ls
"What?" She looks away.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ6jEgbctu
The audacity!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PZtqkKCqb
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlmc6DMQLW
She smirks. "What?"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vJJzA4ZuN
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q1WvDToJq
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1jFfWA3zs
She snickers. The nerve!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyGRzvhB7C
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5MoMDYH0T
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdbxKyatsh
I didn't bother to approach.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHgTHMMDDe
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSUi4VOwSW
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrth8KRZnN3
"Whatever."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaC9USNfI5
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnJFbbqJoU
"Hey, girls."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRlmeyaqnj
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
