Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihBBXrfGaK
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAqfSnSUgN
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.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HlhYCBWMX
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcubQ0duki
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXO8U9So9W
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnMMLB4Mhz
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.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x8hZMSNka
"Sis..." he starts.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2tcoqfbDJ
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!
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalxtbM46g4
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbQCUF0yYn
I shake my head.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlO4KwN1Oe
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwKfijrxsI
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfONxgzUsTf
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.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fubLGWyQJ
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlK68ykAYV
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6UcCKigkX
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe7sHORHcS
I take a deep breath.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypuJdwvq8j
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.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKUiJaZVmn
"Hello?" I begin.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzk2Shyolg
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qRRPPAE4t
"Yep," I reply.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJiJs9yxqm
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9p3tOPdAo
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.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4WJTCR6jP
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhApOIOnei1
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2UYC9cbKF
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.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnaA1ejEC0
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7MdSMnovr
"Saan?"
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGig3k4xvq
"To my grandmother's Casa."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZmO7S6DTM
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7EFjTR7mk
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry2HEllTl8
"Okay, where?"
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7L8BTwpck
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEM9mCZZsK
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZwtAnhYqj
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8AcTPiqFx
"Yep!"
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7R20fhcr0
"Thanks. Good night."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzA73Afi0N
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcngkL9M5zm
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.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZfOwLLFBm
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.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAojCafAUr
"Later..."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSHHh1mZ34
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNuxmVHKCZ
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcm27JovR3
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgcS8yEkJM
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO94Vk4bKiY
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmBdt0nlqK
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIt4np37pN
"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."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlHWzg1rVr
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70NIVCubjn
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE00ZPumH1
She pouts, smirking.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡast6t9UH8x
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShq2LJAfzl
I roll my eyes.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm2RiNJODD
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.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJGjv4eiBn
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZj7mH9iyp
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpNWPPxBGw
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDMFZDezp6
"Hi, miss beutiful."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM80k4qqMJB
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkkXvK3uoH
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCsOH4pzaH
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.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9HCuMN3cd
My eyes dwindle.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwllD4p9TJF
"What?" She looks away.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnEhTz5gGA
The audacity!
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmRE1UQHLT
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X6IySl9aW
She smirks. "What?"
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEE1kCcVTI
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK44wmfUHrg
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC7hGL3x3Z
She snickers. The nerve!
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlva6xdEZ3a
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE7dNQtbVo
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XQz6bJPpp
I didn't bother to approach.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB96LDiha1
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJTSTXI5Re
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eunSpgOgL
"Whatever."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfSgeq6SzF
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX90btisVQO
"Hey, girls."
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxRXJAmI9Z
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
