Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hF6mA1vrC
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91wIK9w2Pk
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.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QIwmrd8Tl
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjlLvsQuj9
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa5YdDV5mV
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjoHkhI3ri
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.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAKOf0N90t
"Sis..." he starts.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZtW21sFx9
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!
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwjmrow76O
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMijwHUU14O
I shake my head.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn6pYt9kq1
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bxVe3VnN2
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskowVbXKBH
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.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p1ejqYctf
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vLPxxcUPw
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE33IXVBtbl
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIN4xJPNaA
I take a deep breath.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gHPY4IkJ1
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.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGIzWcFJQG
"Hello?" I begin.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmn8Efcnqj
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOr1Tsuw6M
"Yep," I reply.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauisX60J3r
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmtL9zn0Y6
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.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RBebgCQpA
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPvaSZoFyC
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnT5MYht5B
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.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm7UGwRnHW
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEu56rwXop
"Saan?"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopzAELn8pj
"To my grandmother's Casa."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFzvyGeeRQ
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvneubcOFEi
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaebBBIJaR
"Okay, where?"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXwIOJ8j2k
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcbCB5HrDf
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6jbqQR8uJ
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06aJnrwwQJ
"Yep!"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzszUc4EAG
"Thanks. Good night."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBruLNnzaP
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0u6PkJ5mz
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.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqzw4EznfS
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.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MY6jKcEsd
"Later..."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wA46Fxy0G
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lr80UreUT
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItSJcUl4ho
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmvsjfJnii
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cKPLHg1Zo
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJZW2jtFI5
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx2jsK21HY
"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."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2yxZZrYRJ
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaYAtbmSFv
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtteTzcV0e
She pouts, smirking.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwXYKXAVEU
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdZTfSVkDG
I roll my eyes.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ884UpTJJtj
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.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFuy4WM70B
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8C6WV6v7T
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRSeXtfsjz
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0yyoAF106
"Hi, miss beutiful."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5wQjUGJfM
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlAHBvsazv
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqEX1TsMJU
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.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrvxxEbqqf
My eyes dwindle.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePuKJyrUEk
"What?" She looks away.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl3XnM8Ldp
The audacity!
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhivf1hlH3t
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTbAxT6xdr
She smirks. "What?"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlL8wLylCx
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHwWUU8n8t
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xwtOkbbz9
She snickers. The nerve!
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypnpHjJien
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkuZIao5MY
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqKbSGT83T
I didn't bother to approach.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOjFqZQZ4z
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uf4bAsy2M
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jQTH8zHfo
"Whatever."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLyP7rBdmN
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukR29x5cQp
"Hey, girls."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWmnW3WjCM
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
