Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4udUpgQ8rA
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob54t84SGJ
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJtavklTTO
Khan brows meet.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCQfJqwvxu
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39DlNMvQc8
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay9u0vc1rm
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK9RvDuBeo
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc3HPtPMIj
"Sis..." he starts.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv6p1LhyM8
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!
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyGaEcbCF5
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugDzpvyBox
I shake my head.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrov8XdUPT
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnmBKGUtTg
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3LfYJwjsW
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxV0PG9UDm
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcU3NJBvB6
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYLQMLeZdP
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLN0dGilOW
I take a deep breath.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6M3YdtwLq
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCHb1SvJcg
"Hello?" I begin.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLohMxsLdob
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4V6hAgPKq
"Yep," I reply.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcqi4BGNjP
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE9mOiTnxZ
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G1WhwokKk
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ8Ra8iO7N
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzRB9XIupB
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6od7RxyWuO
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0HdzY5rk7
"Saan?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2Wlu5znIM
"To my grandmother's Casa."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBShaufzl86
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5H5iRBYFO
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOCt8Ouus0
"Okay, where?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBalIKZZy9p
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZbcRsw34f
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOA7LSCwaJ
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKskAm5TXdE
"Yep!"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qRtkhzSRH
"Thanks. Good night."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZYu7dZB63
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51N6gThYWa
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nZw0YreNZ
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BhK3oxvDc
"Later..."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFbj85Tgqd
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDbJdO5Iud
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybKHxtZWSl
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLBRxoPSSt
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkdvDvGMic
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1aAptYxC4
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYmZrtrYvt
"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."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU2QPhMng1
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8llQO4l6wQ
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44pTiCWRsA
She pouts, smirking.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJGM1M02OX
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4t11ZYqwU
I roll my eyes.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoez0rGjwHX
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRjwHvTi0G
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwypWSSek6E
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCInal16Lcd
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuI7SGhiHZ
"Hi, miss beutiful."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ckkZadC56
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlpYPFPe5H
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qxnMHQbum
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXZb0upVhu
My eyes dwindle.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2W4y3DRwh
"What?" She looks away.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3uQCg2rEE
The audacity!
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpmbqnX7fL
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa7kzggELr
She smirks. "What?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKUezI0plW
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4t7HFxBF2
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRSs9RoJ3f
She snickers. The nerve!
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8CQRomkDR
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtleYiiHqAm
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQd8wcOPDQ
I didn't bother to approach.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaDaiwMGvo
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOlpoJl8Sl
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtvNAb7j2B
"Whatever."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwyVt7ew2s
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ3u5b8fJv
"Hey, girls."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSu2BFkVD4
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
