Khan smirks. "Who says na mabaho ako?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjuTr7DMYE
I glance at him. "Sino ba? Siguro si Japet."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhScnp6spC
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmoKM9nivr
"Si Neil..." he can't even say it straight in the eye.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47p7oi0Xx5
"Bakit? Ano ba'ng nangyari?" Khan's voice hefts.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSXBtXXhQn
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Napatingin na lang din ako kay Khan.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXipvUdraRR
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8efVycsEzh
"Sis..." he starts.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmkLmSAHEh
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!
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBJpjDBNtK
"You like?" He hands me a bottle of water.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ32pVe8iD
I shake my head.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE767Ea77z
He leans against the wall. "Dati... hindi pa ganito 'to."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH2xuPwM35
I flash a sight at him. "What do you mean?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1ZMTqofRf
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOJ5uXRFsD
He breathes. "Kung hindi lang sana binenta ni daddy to..."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID3niVPcYZ
I look at him over my shoulder. "Daddy has a reason."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC1cZvCT1f
He inhales. "Whatever his reason is... I don't care."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxJDzvtu4P
I take a deep breath.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP7eGit6K0
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bYJtl3XEa
"Hello?" I begin.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOx3a0LFgj
"Hey! Um, did you eat your meal already?" Khan asks in mid-tone.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJuwnfDWcb
"Yep," I reply.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHk1Ua1Pyj
"C-cool! Err, I just want to ask you something," he retorts.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9QmaWZqt9
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQvYCLPrc9
"Ano na naman 'yan?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUZSGKELr0
"Gustow kow somama ka sa aken."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTRWBm5Tbm
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPm8zSsZHY
Lalo na ang boses niya. Umiling ako.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmXEovGfFu
"Saan?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIwB02o96s
"To my grandmother's Casa."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIZVf0rm5v
'Ayun! Bumigay rin.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEVXfFfvAs
I fold my hand creating an 'L' shape. Pinakinggan ko lang siya hanggang sa sinabi rin niya ang lokasyon ng Casa.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWWXirQXXs
"Okay, where?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKhUROxo0l
"Bohol? I'm not familiar with the place."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTfPsdQQxe
I raise my eyebrow. "Okay... I'm going."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7m86zOBc3
"Really?" his voice hoarses.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCejRjD2Qk
"Yep!"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYLX6s7Usq
"Thanks. Good night."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeIoYk35fl
I smile as I hang up the call. A simple good night from a friend is, like, everything.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3henXcWT6
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouGWvyqnk1
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQDcwiHsuu
"Later..."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexyYecMQT6
"Akala ko ba no time for boys?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PyxUaLVhC
She looks at me. I raise an eyebrow.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTnEW8OVlb
"Uh... eh..." she can't form a word.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXv1pWaqLI
I shove my bag on the table. Saglit na napatingin ang mga tao roon. I glance at them before I saddle on the chair.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGeELngqid
"How's your exam?" my voice is authoritative.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw2ipYeUtz
She raw-smile. "Ran... um—"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfxFA9yx65
"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."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCG7tq2glz
She sighs. "Oo na, I'm sorry..."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL3BMNwoi5
I smirk. "Sige na nga. Kahit kailan dinadaan mo talaga ako sa charms mo."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcZciEaMZ5
She pouts, smirking.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sk5rxJNZX
"Malakas ako sa 'yo, e."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U3cy8c2cJ
I roll my eyes.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GFNMICuAP
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMLURFEwDf
"What do you like to drink?" She snakes her arm over my shoulder.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLELLkMwwgg
"Guava juice," I reply, browsing through my phone.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2xtUHynBm
Pero hindi pa man ako naka scroll down ay may biglang nag-message sa akin.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBEmECyqY3
"Hi, miss beutiful."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9q5cf8wp5
My brows meet. I scroll down to see more.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH07oUlOpq
"Sama ka sa akin. I like the way you moves."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0dOA8eWmW
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH2fpQsQzo
My eyes dwindle.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8cBeHIsTB
"What?" She looks away.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWOeCTa7OI
The audacity!
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr75pp2A92
"How dare you!" I exclaim.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY43di0bJO
She smirks. "What?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ70xmL8aE
I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe you can do this to me." "At least 'di ba, may connection ulit kayo—"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlddXNm8ua
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! That won't happen again."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr6LSOIGvf
She snickers. The nerve!
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44gRYceK6b
Kinalaunan, dumating din ang orders namin. Ngumiti pa sa akin ang lalaking crew. I just ignore him.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLoW4GceH7
"Psst!" pagtawag ni Roxianne sa akin.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e3EfLcoVi
I didn't bother to approach.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd3z2505ux
"'No ba 'yan! Ito naman... hindi naman pupunta rito 'yon."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWUnqNtP3u
She smirks. I roll my eyes.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta5FGR9Vsr
"Whatever."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGIvyQl5RK
I put my phone on the side when someone calls us. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. It was him.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43tBpbE0e7
"Hey, girls."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgcRRRTHv6
I close my eyes as the voice become audible. The audacity!
