Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ3r5EAIki
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5FhwM6bjP
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.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeThxvFg1Eg
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEP4xilHzP
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyhPSzXBfh
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWV77Z0vgy
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.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6ou0zgLsB
"Sis..." he starts.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FawuAke1k
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!
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuUo6IVbzM
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTY1CMtkBk
I shake my head.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILdRszeBBN
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GkUjhazfa
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdQ2xNX6HQ
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.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCIKwYegnP
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqsC4hotLc
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uJYe7012M
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEasbk449g8
I take a deep breath.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatpQyvPYvP
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.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkB2k4jpUP
"Hello?" I begin.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKfGqUupoR
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUbRurcmNB
"Yep," I reply.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOanpK5cNhX
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonxxHhR2nL
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.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvtmatXxtb
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaUgY8KzYz
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIDviyWyei
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.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiSsT8z2Jb
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ213I6xkN68
"Saan?"
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK14iNf7w9O
"To my grandmother's Casa."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjPLfLUrEy
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRCL7L5Wq2
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh36RgLAcg
"Okay, where?"
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkDIE9NDwy
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCosE5wWRz
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRdpoGbQmO
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNN0zAWxTK
"Yep!"
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirg3qEGZHQ
"Thanks. Good night."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hA7jqVCm9
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRQEVEX3wW
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.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzg9HXTpg7
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.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXkKd80oYN
"Later..."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdwMP1F1d4
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBPA7cOF2Y
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJOLbBVplc
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF8g6aCYvl
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4tjwDbG06
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyqRkArHnZ
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79t8koaiOX
"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."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlQBgscwjg
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWoj2h9Pii
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnaSCkyt8P
She pouts, smirking.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn5DDZGlYB
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BUwQwVNAk
I roll my eyes.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfIQ6dWrHo
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.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk5fjRWuzo
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3sdgM6am2
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FP9VpiJzC
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJOk8lhpNU
"Hi, miss beutiful."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPZoJphSnE
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpkrTCWBo4
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr9iNbatXd
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.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyI3q7FQHY
My eyes dwindle.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5YQVKH1Ty
"What?" She looks away.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPH43MwZFF
The audacity!
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaABOe1SvsN
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmayyPQ9zw
She smirks. "What?"
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekePPKT6jx
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3St7R4mGvB
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc8oTy7joE
She snickers. The nerve!
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZppzO1cv3
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur55gHdAiZ
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLHKZczGnJ
I didn't bother to approach.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHeO74ty1T
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKIjoTawNe
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl55QVdRL4u
"Whatever."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO2uikD6D8
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGoUiyfUpC
"Hey, girls."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwC6c7jvKA
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
