Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6y539PZIx
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfbLvD9ori
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQmYtyKtRC
Khan brows meet.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5RRRcnEdI
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdgnaRGhRL
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7ZE5dK01P
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdZYyPNOuu
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSO322BFme
"Sis..." he starts.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6IAgIUZ9R
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!
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsJGHF9pQG
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjD3z6Yz4y
I shake my head.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikjdhxqk0M
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqTVeYQmIB
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnorBgPquU9
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QBVGGPM1q
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eYJsN4wvQ
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI55u0RbB7
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjykeRs5pZk
I take a deep breath.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENHl63VxcE
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJO12Vtv19
"Hello?" I begin.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCloVLepPW
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzG1LduSIB
"Yep," I reply.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak3q3Bv3m4
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdn6UGL20t
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSmnfwl34c
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEszRzVb7Jd
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AB0Fjo73T
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCt1ZK8U9J
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyhoCuRPhz
"Saan?"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Rtw3Rzy4
"To my grandmother's Casa."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SNyeJKX3H
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NWuZVQaaw
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpixlxso6EX
"Okay, where?"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IPhGdLcXQ
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDbik0Uykg
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEHUV7sS0z
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JbIGoAWwZ
"Yep!"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEJOe3edam
"Thanks. Good night."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHM8jEJv9q
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZJjfxKipg
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz04A8N7FNV
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWl7qkcCES
"Later..."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9WNrF8eQk
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul8xrsYeL1
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz0Gu1UdyQ
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM6bcoEV96
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeipzimzMM
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfAJ0omViK
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f5FesqXyc
"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."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNd7xqIDLA
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOzDqpvtbg
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRg05e6ZJW
She pouts, smirking.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7WKm0S4Vf
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpoGd4iIQZ
I roll my eyes.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZBPwajSk5
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU4fApN1Ct
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu70Tc6CPeV
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxdGwZF3yC
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2OptxyVzQ
"Hi, miss beutiful."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXqcFvFlmP
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEADsZq0HTu
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CuoHGOvTl
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wKSHoegK0
My eyes dwindle.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y6UroJVAz
"What?" She looks away.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgBHM3CeMk
The audacity!
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdfjBFGwVE
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wfw07vunX
She smirks. "What?"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXtEmNV8Zl
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ5Hl3RIXP
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFelPVTWDgd
She snickers. The nerve!
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rGleudiFT
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVEwHNXvo0
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMkkMozwoF
I didn't bother to approach.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEfR1jsWoP
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzmubyJgMB
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8VTuvXZMq
"Whatever."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfclWxD0Tf2
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes3DkKo0At
"Hey, girls."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfQvlIrn2e
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
