Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J1Fpo2T56
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzVWmB7FPK
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.

"Rianne, dude..." hinihingal na sinabi ni Klink, habang nasa gilid naman niya si Japet.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OaOfqqEOR
Khan brows meet.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dkPaxkCl6
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdR1xqvOun
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwKNYIQjoW
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8cfam7vEe
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ06utwmEcZ
"Sis..." he starts.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklfnBkvaaZ
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!
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MnqZHrRCM
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQmVZklJ6k
I shake my head.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7avYMIe2bl
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpRKTEhNCD
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZAf5JkiT6
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnboOKFwBwP
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4dG6V5sbB
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT8aEB3SoK
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF3D0bAbCT
I take a deep breath.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdxnrYBNoM
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidVeBoQQhE
"Hello?" I begin.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRpSSJTFLE
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulpBpBguf7
"Yep," I reply.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi8zcg5XDB
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQTUG6CQXy
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGbcGm8n7B
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk44s75tdQd
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeHChYU3E0
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg41bGIWURQ
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptc4bvO375
"Saan?"
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGoIYJTcjC
"To my grandmother's Casa."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglIQD0Al5A
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBXhLIn2zh
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogevuL2ZJv
"Okay, where?"
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAQsyCt3dV
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYBCpUvjKd
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6pFCJ28Gp
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH76oWvMIP
"Yep!"
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UYFTqDy1R
"Thanks. Good night."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m9Hy3pSSY
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg5J6sWibL
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6d7Zo8xot
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GqPc7YdQ1
"Later..."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWc39K6ccO
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaXbJAS0DD
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OvhRlBWIW
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BULiyZpbc
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc46qfXael
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsaYos1W7y
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrdFGGjd5j
"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."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqAJJRmtec
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PMW0YGr5i
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U8aWh8dcq
She pouts, smirking.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8htdFjCO8
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1NCvStDu3
I roll my eyes.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQBPVTvlk2
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lcr0IOXzr
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa19WHrUAtq
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5SxKmo9AL
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKNgOeRgSA
"Hi, miss beutiful."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4xx0UPwa4
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K6rpqWB48
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXtyAsayQn
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaaihHmFhL
My eyes dwindle.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FFJ9LsB2p
"What?" She looks away.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUbBKGLlZY
The audacity!
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWkngQ7jb3
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Gy5sXXbE
She smirks. "What?"
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU8RdDdCsn
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdOXDj0JGR
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUmwZssCLo
She snickers. The nerve!
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuz86Kdovv
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk2RQWBHxC
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUH9bAEQex
I didn't bother to approach.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJNlasNJrr
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dgVyUSxmV
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OHYU3FPqI
"Whatever."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzUG4RnZu3
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bzEtTLcIw
"Hey, girls."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX9Bjq8Th4
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
