Chapter 17
Fine and beautiful

I stared at him looking like a fool while he's like a statue. He's not moving like a dead body.

Nakahawak siya sa pisngi niya at nakaawang ang bibig.  Ilang minuto na rin siyang nakaganon, at hindi nako makatiis.

"H-hey," I waved my hands in front of him but what I only get was a blink of his eyes.

Ano na tong nangayayari, para na kaming ewan dito eh! Mabuti na lang at wala pang nakakakita sa amin, even his parents didn't even go up here, and that's what I'm thankful for.

Hanggang ngayon ay di pa rin siya kumikibo, para namang napasobra ata ang  reaksiyon niya sa nangyari. Kaya sa sobrang inip ko at inis  naisip ko na saktan na lang siya, to wake him up from his reverie.

"Hoy!" Kasabay nun ang paglagapak ng kamay ko sa batok niya, at gamuntikan pa siyang mabuwal sa upuan.

"Aray," ngumingiwi pa siya habang himas ang batok niya. "Hindi mo naman sinabi na may lahi ka palang Amazona."

"I'm sorry, ikaw kasi eh para ka kasing ewan hindi ka kumikilos tapos hindi mo ko pinapansin tapos--" He cut me off with his index finger on my lips.

"You kissed me," he uttered. "Paano ako hindi mabibigla."

"It wasn't intentional,  at tsaka sa pisngi lang yun. Hindi naman big deal yun," sabi ko at umiwas ng tingin.

"Hindi big deal? Ha!" He smirked. Parang hindi siya makapaniwala sa mga narinig niya, eh sa hindi naman talaga big deal parang beso-beso lang naman.

"Kung halikan kaya kita ngayon, hindi ka kaya magulat?" nanlaki ang mga mata ko at pilit pinakalma ang sarili, pero mukang wala na akong magagawa sa malakas na pagtambol ng puso ko. "And correction it's on the side of my lips not on my cheeks."

"B-bakit ba parang minolestya kita. Kayo bang mga lalaki pag hinalikan sa pisngi eh mabubuntis." Pagtataray ko.

He just chuckled and moved his body away  from me. He removed his glasses and put it above the table.

"Aren't you hungry, siguro may lunch na sa baba." And as if on cue the demon inside my tummy just growled.

Kagat labi akong tumingin sa kaniya na ngayo'y parang mauutot na sa pagpipigil ng tawa.

"Wag mo nang pigilan,"sabi ko at inirapan siya. "sige ka mamaya mautot ka pa diyan."

And with that he barked his laughter like there's no tomorrow. I roled my eyes again and just stare at him, his hands on his tummy while he laugh his lungs out.

He looks cute tho.

And after eternity he stop laughing and lead the way going to their dining area. At sakto namang nagluluto na ang mommy, and the of what she's cooking makes my demon even more alive.

"Oh andiyan na pala kayo, tamang-tama malapit ng matapos to." She said then brings back her attention to what she's cooking.

"What are you cooking T-tita Ysabella," I stuttered a little because honestly I still find it awkward to call her Tita.

"Oh! Hi Soliana, ugh...this is kare-kare." I glanced at the pot and saw different varieties of vegetables. I saw eggplants, and one unknown shredded vegetable.

I pointed it and ask Tita Ysabella what is that and she said it was 'puso ng saging' tumango tango na lang ako kahit hindi ko naman alam kung ano talaga  yon. And then there's this sauce na amoy isda, parang pinaghalong kulay siya ng black at gray.
