Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUT15L6dZ8
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9IP8tcXsQ
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRof0UFbU3
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjizj6XUEUY
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx6lphYLJh
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp2wHpNf5A
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3GD2BDYrh
"Sis..." he starts.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXCC78TyXC
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!
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ244vywcI8K
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIdsPB8V2R
I shake my head.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPevij0RSD8
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAPOYKSbu8
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpIqEVmlJn
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2V2Ogy1cW
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqP7K26vP1
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDuWrpoWw2
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnBi4iYVso
I take a deep breath.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpPppfdSND
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWqP1B2HLV
"Hello?" I begin.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDFdBmoH8V
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8pq1I8LUV
"Yep," I reply.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jUnbk1VRa
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHCz1inCHW
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLw1Rfnw6G
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8g87WcYpS
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVRbMdbgZg
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EQrn3a4Pj
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVk88KP5zX
"Saan?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qo3KNvmWj
"To my grandmother's Casa."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb97CXVaBt
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWzjgSRfPl
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkLYHUnBJr
"Okay, where?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ563VMZqssZ
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDzxBcaiTt
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOZpThO9Lh
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0Z0bXAKjN
"Yep!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTQxhTEHza
"Thanks. Good night."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Goo0WEcir
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Fi72Hm7w
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp6vNExtzQ
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYzxE63wCk
"Later..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybvGWAQdIO
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUGLmbN3Xj
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoklg7I9uK
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWM0wrHduU
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO7bmoXuqm
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ235SXfB9d
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiElyujS8GE
"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."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6ptwj8qBn
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPpdtgdfg0
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMGs5SyLLx
She pouts, smirking.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi5GaThfHE
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2itQcZ0rx
I roll my eyes.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VlCwIHPeY
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3fVWxi5TJ
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyzvelm6zt
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2UhVC6uqh
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjRdVgbhT8
"Hi, miss beutiful."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡherugtbPQx
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISvA3EaYPC
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhDkGBa3yd
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9m7EXFHpQ
My eyes dwindle.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBbG7tWHOM
"What?" She looks away.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f6OwoULqK
The audacity!
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMH8qjbZNH
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGk1bV0DV0
She smirks. "What?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvdYAogSV8
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S9BcYvMxh
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrmXSN2fIB
She snickers. The nerve!
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAu69ErGSM
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxiKZ6tKEh
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HI72yyWb6
I didn't bother to approach.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9EaQIkliJ
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZkoZgDBry
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSyS4cSWlR
"Whatever."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ktz2gZK7
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNRnF0CCBn
"Hey, girls."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkHc5F0SSE
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
