Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvBpXV6AIP
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAUGnAR8eY
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVtdSkOwMU
Khan brows meet.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboytq2biC5
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpPAJYh5mf
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2KMDndidF
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0p7lRdnZU
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO14njhZPtG
"Sis..." he starts.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwRateYFVq
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!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWtUK1dos0
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWBapkxLVX
I shake my head.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvfvo3YAPr
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMxvKPpFFe
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsbqZBUaHR
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0GHnv5vH7
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdv7n7eK2f
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nLHb1QgLK
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSc1ev2J5Y
I take a deep breath.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4ZvLgOrLR
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE7m1U4tKn
"Hello?" I begin.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67SBZZxUiY
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM9VmSOdbh
"Yep," I reply.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjozYq698b
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN0UD6DPlZ
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaaZlny3NH
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3uBsZEEkN
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3y0zofrgJ
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqBjuRrOjP
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J8z9r1n6o
"Saan?"
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpNZSIZ1nY
"To my grandmother's Casa."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHqc6DecdK
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GPRy0ZFhf
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf85doqVsAd
"Okay, where?"
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvpzKcVkZr
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipLFQ0F6Y6
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItZoWAhgtY
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOzPuv55iK
"Yep!"
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKKzoQC7xT
"Thanks. Good night."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR1zJ2TpeJ
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3d2yXFU2W
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglBCP9tzYz
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0wOAo1ibm
"Later..."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMziZseiESj
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3X42c4AFQ
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMzFWiiG15
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9CRt5e3Kk
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky4L4KM9ZU
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDasrchQcU
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhs6uoYz08
"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."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqQS7k5yQd
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbRo5U54ns
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhUWioSylj
She pouts, smirking.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ILuYMSBLm
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqSnV7EBBi
I roll my eyes.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKTkf3lXHp
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZa77d7Wh7
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4OL4WYHBe
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQyAhzNhCB
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvuocalVWm
"Hi, miss beutiful."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuShZq9f9u
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZUxyMCKOx
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kleBGT4CM
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReIiy9lfby
My eyes dwindle.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaUVKtDuk0
"What?" She looks away.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nkdHZf0YE
The audacity!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8peTSfpSCE
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vTLEYWcFE
She smirks. "What?"
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC5Aby1sGT
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVuenvUZit
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pZZXdJfsU
She snickers. The nerve!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsSnhtPAiD
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1V2JC1cj4
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVN1rR8JXL
I didn't bother to approach.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6WQITFxJA
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxQJ6Mlz0a
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlkmKAo0ti
"Whatever."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWHyQhOP6z
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG12SgiiGnm
"Hey, girls."
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AV1DyYRZ0
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
