"Dale, huy! Gumising ka na dyan!" nagmulat siya at hawak ang ulong bumangon.
"Ah sakit sa ulo!"
"Kasalanan mo yan. Wag kang magreklamo. Ge na bababa na ako. Pumasok dito si tita and guess what?"
"What?" taas-kilay niyang tanong.
"She thinks something is going on between us. Don't you think it's bad?"
"Bad? Nah. I doubt it. After all she dislikes Belle," kibit-balikat niyang sagot. What! Wala siyang pakialam?
"And you won't do anything about it?" may pagtatakang tanong ko sa kaniya.
"Why would I?" balik tanong niya sa akin.
"Why wouldn't you? Isn't she your girlfriend?" I asked again but he just shrugged his shoulders as a response.
What does he mean by that?
"You know what, I'll go downstairs. You're talking nonsense," naiiling na sabi ko bago lumabas at pumunta sa kwarto ko at naligo. Bumaba na ako para mag-agahan.
Everyone was on the dining table and laughing when I entered.
"Hey ate Louise, kain na," sabi ni Trevor.
I sat on the chair near to where I am standing, not knowing Dale is beside me. It felt awkward sitting beside him while his mom's eyeing us suspiciously.
"I forgot to ask what happened to your knuckles Dale. Who did you punch?" that question made us silent.
"Some bad guys who needs some bad beatings mom" he said while gritting his teeth.
"Did you clean that already?" Summer asked.
"Louise did," he said firmly.
"Sooo, we are supposedly on our way back to Manila but seems like Dale got himself drunk last night. Bro why didn't you even tell us na may balak ka palang magpakalasing sana dinamayan ka namin. May problema ka ba?" Josh asked trying to change the topic. Thanks to that I don't want to remember that horrible night.
"Oo nga. Nagbreak na kayo ni Belle?" Tristan concluded. Lahat ay naghihintay sa isasagot niya habang ako ay nanatiling nakatungo at nakatuon ang pansin sa pagkain, inaabangan ang kaniyang sasabihin.
"Hmm let's just say we're in a time first zone wherein we agreed to have time for ourselves first. You know priorities," he said in a normal way.
Like what!?
"When and how the hell did that happen? Is that the reason you got yourself drunk?" sunud-sunod na tanong naman ni Tristan. Maybe that really is the reason.
"The night before last night, on the phone. But I got drunk for some other reason. And thats for me to know," that is impossible. That night was the same night na muntik na akong marape. Could it be the reason he said he's got something to tell her. And now I'm curious!
Get a grip of yourself Louise!
Could it be true that he is falling for me? But nah, he didn't say 'falling for you' specifically but literally falling.
Ang pagtapik ni Dale sa braso ko ang nagpabalik sa akin sa realidad.
"Anyare sayo Ate Louise," Summer asked. Pre-occupied, I didn't notice Summer and tito was with us. Nakakahiya. I'm spacing out.
"Okay ka lang ba?" dagdag niya pa. I was about to answer when tita said something that made me blush.
"She's probably bothered on what I saw kanina," nakangiti at may panunuksong sabi niya.
