Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgyojrKhqv
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dy1Q5q2hN
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDs6Uezu39
Khan brows meet.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppPx4FdIjQ
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9qZjSOxYV
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cu9TouRjX
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI88bIzimXz
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fNhDTIP14
"Sis..." he starts.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj3s5cm4pR
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!
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYWwIIbsRP
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2qBheIkB5
I shake my head.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgo8yCG44L
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EdG84XEl4
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Qpj5eRPb
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9mg68Wffa
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wNYdKUxJv
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuKtQgQmOU
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQDIQUig4N
I take a deep breath.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu8Uz2FnPb
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeq1U2ov1J
"Hello?" I begin.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXnkz0opDt
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8gNdlZFo3
"Yep," I reply.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5b8Bqddk2
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEbowWaGCS
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4haNYRilW
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a3FHyiPUU
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejWgE52ldr
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBs3LnvSMT
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJrcMtkP8c
"Saan?"
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLb3hxoomM
"To my grandmother's Casa."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg1gTm5WvK
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9T9rcPiRK
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NXtNMMJb2
"Okay, where?"
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxnxgQgQX6
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z8NJKVHU3
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6iy7LSlZ0
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZZ9gvcdzx
"Yep!"
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2ebD8OKta
"Thanks. Good night."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMZnusony8
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1UMBBDIaa
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv6FZolGWc
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuCY9mnElF
"Later..."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueX2AU3f95
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5uMyTkkSJ
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiOPIw8wly
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATqX1zVhPd
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uOixRHKqX
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXCwcoMnlo
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaTzKbTs2w
"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."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl7oLZVxp1
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKQxRtMltn
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduVKyDkmaD
She pouts, smirking.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QX6SHLhxU
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YH5LEn0Rr
I roll my eyes.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb250ojFBV
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa6pvXishm
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0qi0H4CmW
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvZNWQL35O
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PIcxY1C1j
"Hi, miss beutiful."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeMnypIh9e
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rJRd5HBEf
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmknuTsu83o
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWohZNPpzoS
My eyes dwindle.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUq2vn90Xg
"What?" She looks away.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wag77HUrF
The audacity!
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26P2VRUEnM
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYe7kvnvTJ
She smirks. "What?"
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2bxwqQYI1
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZoSWeX53Y
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuynTuNEm8f
She snickers. The nerve!
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6AbpMIQ7j
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfYhvJp9C4
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5bl2UZ82c
I didn't bother to approach.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcbWLSfjuT
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD0tyrkWCt
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ40LYZ03D
"Whatever."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PcRQB7x4e
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhis5sPSRVx
"Hey, girls."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQtHKIs1wY
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
