Memories in the Roads (Street Series #3)

Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Girl

I woke up the next morning feeling lazy and unmotivated but I have no choice. Business is killing me but I chose it so I need to be killed by it.

Naka pajama at Tshirt pa ako habang kumakain ng almusal. Ako ulit mag isa ang kumakain ng almusal dito sa malaking dining table at maraming pagkain sa harap ko. Minsan ay nakakasabay ko si Tita Cat and Tito Gerardo na kumain but there are many times that I ate lonely like the time like this.

"Sir, ang kaibigan niyo po..." balita ng kasambahay. Agad akong lumingon sa may pinto at nakita roon si Eli.

He looks fresh and cool in the morning. He gave me a beautiful smile and waved.

"Makikikain lang..." aniya at umupo na sa harap ko. Ngumiti naman ako at nag utos sa kasambahay na maglagay ng plato para kay Eli.

This is unexpected. It's been what? One week since he had a breakfast here? Medyo nasasanay na nga ulit ako na kumain mag isa. Dahil noong mga unang buwan ay sabay kami ni Eli mag breakfast at pumasok.

"Himala nandito ka..." panimula ko.

"Yup. Medyo lumuwag luwag na ang schedule..." he said as he stir his coffee.

Tinignan niya ang suot ko. "Bakit nakapantulog ka pa rin? Anong oras na ah!" sermon niya.

"Ah. Tinamad lang ako kaya inuna ko ang breakfast. 7am pa ang first subject, it's 5:30 palang naman... " tumingin ako sa wall clock at tama nga ako.

"Why? Napapapagod ka?"

"Yup. We were all exhausted for the past months. It's draining and tiring but we need to continue..."

He bit on the garlic bread. "Bakit hindi ka magpahinga?" seryoso niyang sabi.

I shrugged. "My only time to rest is night. After the first sem, I'll prepare for a massive rest!" I sighed.

"Yeah. Ako rin. Wanna road trip?" he smirked.

Napatingin ako sa kaniya at nagtaas ng kilay. "Nakakapagod yun. You sure?"

"Hindi siya nakakapagod for me. Relaxing nga eh. So let's take a roadtrip. Ihanda mo na ang itinerary ah?" aniya.

Ngumiti ako at tumango. We continue to eat our breakfast while having a nonstop conversation and rant for our strict professor. After that, I took a bath while he was waiting and then we leave for school.

And the saga continues for the next consecutive weeks.

Lumabas na kami agad matapos ang isang klase. It's lunch break and my friends and I are now walking heading to cafeteria. Hawak hawak pa rin ni Clarence ang kaniyang calculator dahil iniintindi ang lessons kanina. Ako naman ay nag uunat unat habang si Carl ay nagrarant tungkol sa lessons.

"Teka. Si Eli ba yun?" Carl said and he pointed out someone. Tinignan ko iyon at nakita ko si Eli na may kasamang babae.

Nasa cafeteria na sila. Nasa bungad silang lamesa kaya natanaw agad namin. Napakurap ako at napalunok pero dahan dahang tumango.

"A-Ah. Oo..." sagot ko. Nagtagal ang tingin ko sa kanila. They both laughing to each other. Eli is saying something that's why the girl is laughing.

"Girlfriend? Bagay sila!" si Clarence.

Tinignan ko si Clarence. But I immediately back my stare to Eli and the girl infront of him. The girl in ponytail looks so pretty too. Nang tumingin ulit ako kay Eli ay nakita kong nakatingin na siya sa akin.

Ngumiti siya at kumaway pero nag iwas na ako ng tingin at tinulak na ang dalawang kaibigan.

"Dito nalang tayo daan!" I reasoned as I pushed my two friends.
