Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXbaJHOe2i
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU199S0R5lU
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.

Khan brows meet.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKlRXLVgKU
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC6GA5TUs0
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7IX8xnnqZ
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vYRuBBGBe
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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwja7ISxrwq
"Sis..." he starts.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDHIe4z7al
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!
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTULM2iDEG
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlxzejjK87
I shake my head.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UkBzMyTEr
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkZSAAglO6
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61Gb8why1s
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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pwtodEyIx
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aYFt7sHwK
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UF2waJu7z
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrXhHMCjAD
I take a deep breath.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlqmdR7GxB
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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtitNQYo0aV
"Hello?" I begin.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1LRu8MHlS
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uw6FoAnto
"Yep," I reply.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdWkH8hRjt
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sOcMVOqM1
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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSknA6BRGcL
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRceMXrJmyr
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh999zdEVve
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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FlGGz0dxl
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoumVEO9DE
"Saan?"
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09QtfmOZ3p
"To my grandmother's Casa."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGQW2PpKFC
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AK5dyFbi5
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs67R9maTg
"Okay, where?"
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNgsFXfpDa
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRr8FHaF5u
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtqORFWKE1
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pOuSsn7pO
"Yep!"
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcrJygt5XR
"Thanks. Good night."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9M2QXxa3y
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle7EwmyOvR
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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP3oYozCtc
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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA36mJILnP
"Later..."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuqMhH9jwG
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUndOtQ4x9
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOWOru5I2N
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJchiARwj2h
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxHZmNIEO7
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRkt07Bd5y
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3OzXdxa9b
"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."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPDGm6PoX4
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZEwFcepTa
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9p6j4KIs2
She pouts, smirking.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3FNXlyAIW
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn93hikHMD
I roll my eyes.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWiYE5ULGR
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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxdzNWujZZ
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBVn9fsu9I
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdYHLTflUR
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OYfrZdRaA
"Hi, miss beutiful."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iPTC7DEm7
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwiHuyijGg
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmEClOaJOi
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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc09LFJyOuK
My eyes dwindle.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMMo94CUAQ
"What?" She looks away.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T6eRFEW30
The audacity!
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTPvFshThb
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc1ciOb0YP
She smirks. "What?"
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQhMEPKBy4
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCC0kiiHaT
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofYUOMMFoz
She snickers. The nerve!
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6KdcMa1ku
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZVpgucxA8
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2mpWorPJN
I didn't bother to approach.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH5pex7UXg
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YzuHXL8IV
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnEEgyGOGY
"Whatever."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0ghNdyvea
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB9s4YTaN3
"Hey, girls."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPjAzFLdaA
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
