Concealing the Truth Series 1: Keeping Away The Engineer's Triplets

Chapter 18 - Past XI

Two weeks ko nang kasama ang buong squad at super happy ko dahil hindi na ako nabo-boring dito sa bahay. Kung noon ay puro kain, tulog, at manood lang ang alam ko ngayon ay may na dagdag na at iyon ay ang panoorin mag bardagulan ang mga friends ko. So entertaining, right?

Kakagising ko lang mula sa afternoon sleep ko at inaantok akong naglakad palabas ng room ko. I want to sleep more but my afternoon nightmares kept on showing up so, I decided to wake up na lang. I don't want to remember any of those anymore. Its.. scary.

"Good afternoon, guy- bakit n'yo kinakain 'yan?!" Gulat na tanong ko kay Kleo at Riley habang sarap na sarap at tuwang tuwa habang kinakain ang buko at fresh milk ko na nilagay ko sa refrigerator kahapon.

"Huh?.." bahagya silang natigilan dalawa

"Yang kinakain n'yo! Saakin yan!" Inis kong sagot sa dalawang mukha pa din clueless.

"Wala na kasing pagkain sa ref eh. Puro damo kaya, ito na lang." Katwiran no Kleo saakin before he took a spoonful of my fresh coconut.

"Saakin 'yan eh.." my tears slowly build up on my eyes

My coconut and fresh milk..

"Hala?! Seryoso ba?! Kleo said that it's his." Natataranta na sagot naman ni Riley, namimilog ang mga mata n'ya sa gulat dahil sa sinabi ko.

"How can that be his? S'ya ba ang buntis at naglilihi?!" Umiiyak at inis kong sagot kay Riley

Mabilis na nataranta ang dalawa at hindi na alam ang gagawin.

"What's happening here?! Anong ginawa n'yo kay Christelle?!"

Mabilis na dumalo saakin si Tiara, kasunod si Phoebe, Beatrice, at Alice.

"Kasi sila.." suminghot muna ako ng dalawang beses "kasi..s-sila e.. kinain nila y-yung food ko.." my tears build up again quickly.

My food..

"We didn't know.." Kleo tried to explain

"Kahit na! That's mine! Huhuhuhu.."

"We will buy you a new one, then, Chris. Stop crying." Offer ni Riley

"Okay.. I want it just like how Diem bought it, okay?.."

"Yeah, sure. But how Diem bought this coconut and fresh milk?" Riley asked me as he continue eating my coconut

"For the coconut, it is three coconut that is glued together since they are just a tiny baby flowers and should be perfectly color grass green on the outside and pure white on the inside while for the milk, it's from the cow of Germany, it took Diem 3 days for that to arrive. That's how Diem bought those for me."

Mailuwa ni Riley ang kinakain n'ya habang si Kleo naman ay nasamid mula sa pagkaka inom ng fresh milk.

"What?! Three coconut that is glued together since birth?! Meron ba nun?!" Gulat na gulat ang hitsura ni Riley

"Meron, kinain n'yo na nga eh." I sarcastically replied. And don't you make angals ha, if Diem can buy me that, why can't you?" I raise an eyebrow to them.

"Where can we find that?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Kleo after n'ya maka-recover sa pag ubo n'ya.

"I don't know. You look for yourself. That's your punishment for eating my coconut without asking." I smile deviously

Rinig ko mahinang mura ni Riley kay Kleo.

"Kung makapang alok ka kasing hayop ka eh. Hindi naman pala iyo." Gigil na bulong ni Riley kay Kleo
