Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
305Please respect copyright.PENANAZxazmh8pq9
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
305Please respect copyright.PENANA6XJl23C4eF
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.
305Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z8BsEmw6V
"Rianne, dude..." hinihingal na sinabi ni Klink, habang nasa gilid naman niya si Japet.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAT4vHFyvAL2
Khan brows meet.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAQmkxXaSU9E
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAUfYLjJsqVy
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAgxUKp2jvxE
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAN7LOPDYgkU
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.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAkSwxpps8nA
"Sis..." he starts.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAgYagMR97mh
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!
305Please respect copyright.PENANAOTyGB2D6BG
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAmVooXplymR
I shake my head.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAmYoyhHA4bq
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAxOEu5e4uVW
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
305Please respect copyright.PENANAnMCpXYtKm7
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.
305Please respect copyright.PENANA8xlpvm3sIl
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ7wMhtO8M
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAMF71luDWXn
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAJj1E2RHdwd
I take a deep breath.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAKux12SKl6b
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.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAM1JpGnz392
"Hello?" I begin.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAreqsQ9EXPd
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAIMiNtyLqvr
"Yep," I reply.
305Please respect copyright.PENANACusdnDEZ9q
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAtHadbQS6GB
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.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ14BpxDjF
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
305Please respect copyright.PENANAWg32IEtujF
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAlQGb1kW4dk
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.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAfjyzMZOn8k
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAdLXaqZLZSd
"Saan?"
305Please respect copyright.PENANAFWgU5bcZn2
"To my grandmother's Casa."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1Knk7LdFW
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAihf2VOHjiq
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAzqNZexH8os
"Okay, where?"
305Please respect copyright.PENANAShlq9Nktli
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAqUw2DiXtv9
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
305Please respect copyright.PENANARUo3FuzCLy
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9PAVzMRlm
"Yep!"
305Please respect copyright.PENANAyhyO3242d2
"Thanks. Good night."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAvMy3jmbD1C
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAnCMJOnzFls
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.
305Please respect copyright.PENANANBOiHZfvVw
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.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAvB0YSWLcr1
"Later..."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAx9Ooy8n5nl
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
305Please respect copyright.PENANA8xJbrKQrJF
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAd1oeZW5jty
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAEQgO7VEtMH
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1UkFoDC3a
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAnjDKTQKY7e
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
305Please respect copyright.PENANAhm1d1pUgzJ
"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."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAGlpodKepjg
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAZdFt4YBwGe
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAWBwLtcQcqt
She pouts, smirking.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAr5rHMzuqEo
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
305Please respect copyright.PENANA0kLioBvt5U
I roll my eyes.
305Please respect copyright.PENANA3ntJYGhDMe
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.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAGsFoZtdwSM
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
305Please respect copyright.PENANALhFvZMrOFk
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAyFk8ueJuVS
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAEbx8m39NIB
"Hi, miss beutiful."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAug1Uzdxxc5
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
305Please respect copyright.PENANACtABVRxMUp
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAJkM57UImDo
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.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7b7wQ15fa
My eyes dwindle.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAkbn6hgRsgG
"What?" She looks away.
305Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ao8jZCBK1
The audacity!
305Please respect copyright.PENANAP4pL0Em7IU
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
305Please respect copyright.PENANACCEsX0XhZi
She smirks. "What?"
305Please respect copyright.PENANAxKFOmqtG8c
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
305Please respect copyright.PENANA2mqTuYY0eZ
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAs8VFxdX6YU
She snickers. The nerve!
305Please respect copyright.PENANAJNzeGV7jR0
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
305Please respect copyright.PENANA0t3CfBXK3k
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
305Please respect copyright.PENANA1tmGNIvQBo
I didn't bother to approach.
305Please respect copyright.PENANARfzvXXryek
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
305Please respect copyright.PENANAk1pXTqlkRJ
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAUvgLA5niQz
"Whatever."
305Please respect copyright.PENANACfumZ2WgI2
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAmx3PqjWxVE
"Hey, girls."
305Please respect copyright.PENANASmxLRfFBxE
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
