Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q1uoUKpbt
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDF8q0OTR4
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLHotH0L5y
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbHFY9MBDy
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5unRsZF2cA
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIYmlbe3qO
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20o6NczNv6
"Sis..." he starts.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtSwGv0L2U
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!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLsxYTu0eV
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjlopG9wZW
I shake my head.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOgli1vneW
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5AcjHyWrm
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27ULEBUmrh
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZqivMxERb
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAd6SJc6iY
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD5VkaSW2y
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z6OwRF5Zk
I take a deep breath.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR19VYOUoDq
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfH96hvsaU
"Hello?" I begin.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCLddLMLL7
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qe0AoZdMQ
"Yep," I reply.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw7oRXEtga
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5UZuuPPCd
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvyqsOTGRB
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCH6axf9Xw
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlKSCK1vyX
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg28cvS4mP
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiwBwetZNa
"Saan?"
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAAyZ5AI3y
"To my grandmother's Casa."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0IYE4Ae62
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIdZurBijh
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihMswOHdUl
"Okay, where?"
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKQIjh2Fjf
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjLqtaH7RY
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj1HRGk1kA
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLabflRWQLn
"Yep!"
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YNsY5dzcd
"Thanks. Good night."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zgabWOjfe
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3yUncply5
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD45JTMm1dK
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZTVE3Scf8
"Later..."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTeNxkENqQ
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXrAA4g5W5
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq2Z26U4so
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV78FWepm6
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgclUvHuV4V
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8N3XM5m3m
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlitCIRZ4c3
"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."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApvQ1HHwWx
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcDBwl2A9C
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RCbOsewmv
She pouts, smirking.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKFmDuWphg
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlf2SH755b
I roll my eyes.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSGa2Qr4SN
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RIZf0pgot
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjPvib4pTs
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfsJhYV66H
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85lQN0H8GP
"Hi, miss beutiful."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrohjBRiF1C
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbUHRFbPgC
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJbkr08585
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOsqDGtbxY
My eyes dwindle.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8BJkx3UGq
"What?" She looks away.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5gwrOCJHM
The audacity!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX21pLiUhKw
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBuBe3wxZZ
She smirks. "What?"
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ucq2OkAAa
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTqS9AJW3O
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdLf1m8ZyU
She snickers. The nerve!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeELHUmP4zA
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF0v3H0Mej
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzehFbCl9l
I didn't bother to approach.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAuOG82lqH
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyydGz2g7N7
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FcR2hJUx8
"Whatever."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaREtL0ma0
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t589Pf86q
"Hey, girls."
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FnTRk8kcx
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
