Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QqyZEDSH0
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJICWBK9l4y
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9OwKQk9ay
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLEBoSTGjp
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7jYsrJq6T
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51BhqV48lA
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN0Lm45bk2
"Sis..." he starts.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNE7WQ3jn5
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!
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDToq7NwejT
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDLcFmPPWT
I shake my head.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJtBm79K0o
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06WtjkoWDL
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHfzqOBWee
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxu7bvT15L
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9dX27EXaQ
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcKk2L8o59
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrwiakHHp2
I take a deep breath.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqyaOLBzA3
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMYsORzkPY
"Hello?" I begin.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhE6If0r28
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNJLccuS1K
"Yep," I reply.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86wn1ukFhH
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxDfbkWWct
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9IQRDogdC
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizPz6X3Q3N
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjAfY4s0Uz
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzLB0mXvXh
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph1ehJyUB9
"Saan?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZX9l3VtNa
"To my grandmother's Casa."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQZNYKQ2Dh
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lZplynHX2
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOTyRGa7EZ
"Okay, where?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfpAf1Im44
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22wm2WZEat
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3308tofDBW
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf31OXwohA
"Yep!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7KJMi0dfA
"Thanks. Good night."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCIzAv4DMo
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnYGw2yWON
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tHVFiP7td
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpghAYeuyG
"Later..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHQ8hanLtc
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuPl7CROoW
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMYPfNROYo
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xMIzJBD7S
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYihFahPtAI
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cXUINM8Pe
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcyGE1v9TC
"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."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjZOAALOlQ
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQx2BV8n6Y
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF8sut5OzG
She pouts, smirking.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldlPriK5iz
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfUkn0wNtX
I roll my eyes.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj0ElIktsq
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsptCnODnth
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvNkXSBbXo
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eADuNv7mb
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAPlXUUqh4
"Hi, miss beutiful."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTSK8mzJY5
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C32hAaswO
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf5TaEl434
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlGs9s7lMH
My eyes dwindle.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyTxkWgyk2
"What?" She looks away.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtGVz5wwgE
The audacity!
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlahKMeb0Kh
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR0yaHgW9q
She smirks. "What?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrfeBmwQLz
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oa5XmScoH
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2ZxfXT7qa
She snickers. The nerve!
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo28yandoFq
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6cycbXL4z
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwC0yRaJRG
I didn't bother to approach.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2fTgeheTf
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczyxerduXw
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExLaXzzZtF
"Whatever."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vgbgYxdJc
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZa9qRd1zW
"Hey, girls."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5CqzWfyHD
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
