Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2AqPmdxCL
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI2KPkd0kr
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAyyAAHiAd
Khan brows meet.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24rvdS27gH
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFlog5Ve1e
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxYprqx6zc
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4YbjSRMS2
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhG5Hqb4yU
"Sis..." he starts.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQIIPot9Yz
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!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JSYozfXrI
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SIkMHbv3y
I shake my head.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyeT43UC8q
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xwm8nsn9U
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAJQ1E1Ed4
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hzI7HD8AF
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfixAbHTSgW
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxt2gGj1OH
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbVH3wvXlS
I take a deep breath.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd07LPu1vD
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OmY29mkye
"Hello?" I begin.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3IFk09bAV
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsEGB5ZZt1
"Yep," I reply.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOp7XLvyEv
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA7lOUKQNJ
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpaBrjPVip
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xf3ABf3y1
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnMcMBgcIL
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9mHvnJekV
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXB1BjbCxt
"Saan?"
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8LNMrMuXf
"To my grandmother's Casa."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZMNIMAZP8
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNrj3aS86W
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tp8TbPTyt
"Okay, where?"
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p1d7QrGrA
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviQB0ADGE6
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipDLDfgJt8
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgNzHI7csv
"Yep!"
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxxRV9AKgB
"Thanks. Good night."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0uu2Ajtnq
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbkWfsvrn5
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jVGdt4GJ6
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQpkzGoyJm
"Later..."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnHK9ZMnba
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0tN1SIKtV
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe59q4hvWM
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakv3o5Zg3u
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9kS8ji9le
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YlUyAaXYf
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFNbtayLis
"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."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Xo2dVKol
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ312l1mkZrV
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxtvwBAfCt
She pouts, smirking.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSxmTKAx5L
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uufWNYEig
I roll my eyes.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9zC7EgrrC
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F1Y8J0pCV
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gkZo156fp
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP482ldZrM
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu9OeDs9Id
"Hi, miss beutiful."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcAJd5HlyK
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh0iM1TTBf
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEtPcmnAkO
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIocJYWEUv
My eyes dwindle.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yr5aoRYvE
"What?" She looks away.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYE7mFusVg
The audacity!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQmdoJew39
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhBOCUQ7eY
She smirks. "What?"
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18R1ShYq52
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89i5GrZ7lX
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8DQEx0331
She snickers. The nerve!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkwJjRCOCZ
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE9uxeTgxH
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jmCgy8Zs8
I didn't bother to approach.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqznvpRXkDV
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsbkwP5tyY
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE73pI0utX
"Whatever."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4mbCO4Jtc
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aeBt2Yo2X
"Hey, girls."
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2va1RBQiL
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
