Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4V5WPqICC
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgt01QPBit
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNjf81wseM
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxR4w16264
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEG0BCUoXP
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7VyF1CT2U
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVAS4pq0TJ
"Sis..." he starts.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDuqXdje0d
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!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmFOPAFqNG
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCje4MkUrBJ
I shake my head.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV3Y6Fjzux
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2vdVJJXCM
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbDybwcVkc
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIs8ySyelZ
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNfIZw1hQN
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtisd8f27Sl
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZZsdIy9Gr
I take a deep breath.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssNgZWxgCM
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1UEOffmIr
"Hello?" I begin.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhdowGWV1Q
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf8aDg6I6Y
"Yep," I reply.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC27doqp3zR
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gft5xTsEg
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iK2Y1v5BR
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4rB0mfYK7
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpa4J6LhMg
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjftWEGKkN
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHvY2S9okY
"Saan?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOWBtVhPbb
"To my grandmother's Casa."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrskP4rpngV
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lUatr0lwN
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4IAbgCAKs
"Okay, where?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1uYcMjBwb
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l7eO2dlOA
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaALSw3Smp3
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrVUoEs4RX
"Yep!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSRWqOPEbg
"Thanks. Good night."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDTrzWWGqS
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SNIjntVcx
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8pfIbdIbQ
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDknSOfLls
"Later..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v9SDPhX7U
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxD6zTImAR
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI7h3m0PzP
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb2i6bJcTA
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXF0lgKb8b
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XFmNt4H8z
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEuVb9RkbY
"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."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpeNoqHc33
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LIc9846Q7
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjSwpDQWqU
She pouts, smirking.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FpK5ezCQF
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP39gdP3YG
I roll my eyes.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX67vNBMRD
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaZJD8JuOk
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP1mfEPOZn
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsglZ0yb3F
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygptNCrJWt
"Hi, miss beutiful."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXdEsuCyID
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndy1RT2r3c
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr4cjVNyLU
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JmBG8w8IT
My eyes dwindle.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3krsWsBNS
"What?" She looks away.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbinor1IHLW
The audacity!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2twmsKotS6
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCdGtJ4aaw
She smirks. "What?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEzRonBRIk
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUmNYDOnKd
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM8kCbwAuN
She snickers. The nerve!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCnxlo7w0s
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7urKP2lZ2
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SJKiz8Oou
I didn't bother to approach.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG0hMwZlf6
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vxV08i95Z
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Oe3mWWu2v
"Whatever."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7dOKkQC4x
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiTpoRiur9
"Hey, girls."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl9ItfPMi5
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
