CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

THERESIA'S POV

"Thank you naman at may balak ka pa lang umuwi. Maiiwan ko muna sayo si Martha," sabi ko kay Jester na kakauwi lang kagabi. Anlaki ng naitulong ng pag-uwi ni Jester. Mas makakampante akong iwan si Martha. Isang araw lang naman kami sa Thailand eh. After ng show, matutulog lang saka uuwi na kinabukasan.

"Kung si Martha lang din naman, wala problema." Napansin ko naman ang mapang-asar na ngiti ni Jester. "So, kayo lang dalawa?"

I rolled my eyes before I checked my small luggage. "Yes, kami lang dalawa, and?" I asked.

"Baka mamaya pag-uwi niyo may kasunod na si Martha ha? Lalake naman ang sunod, Ate."

Agad ko siyang binatukan. "Bibig mo puro kalokohan."

Tinawanan niya lang naman ako. "Pero seryoso, Ate. Kung ayaw ng kasunod, use protection ha?" loko na naman niya.

Akmang babatukan ko siya kaya lang naka-iwas agad ang lintik. "Imposibleng mangyari 'yang pinagsasasabi mo. Straight si Martina. Straight na babae." Pareho naman kaming natawa.

"Ewan ko sayo, Ate. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, babae rin ang tingin mo sa kanya noon pero may Martha na outcome."

Sasagutin ko na naman sana siya kaya lang napansin kong papalapit na sa amin si Martina, kaya naman sinamaan ko na lang si Jester ng tingin. "I heard from Tres something about you," seryosong sabi ni Martina kay Jester.

Jester just smiled. "And? In love na ba ulit siya sa 'kin?"

"No. She still hates you." Blanko ang mukha ni Martina. Nawala naman ang ngiti sa mukha ni Jester.

Boom! Asaan na yung fire extinguisher? Pakipalo sa kapatid ko.

"She was surprised to see you meddling with her acting career. Isn't that what you hate most, Mr. Myers? Actresses? Then why play with my best friend's heart?" dagdag pa ni Martina na nagpatahimik sa kapatid ko. Now, I'm curious. Tumingin naman sa akin si Martina. "Anyways, ready?"

Tumango ako bago nilingon si Jester at niyakap saka binulungan. "Kapag naka-uwi na kami, you can go chase her again. I don't believe that my little brother would go breaking hearts." I let go of the hug and tapped his shoulder earning a small smile from him. "Ingats ka, and focus your attention on Martha first."

"Noted, Ate," he said as he smiled genuinely.

Tuluyan na kaming tumalikod ni Martina at nagsimulang maglakad papunta sa private airplane niya.

"Let me carry your bag," alok pa niya.

"I can handle myself, bessy," I said, trying to calm myself with the fact that Martina is not a guy and what Jes said would never happen.

Nagulat naman ako nang maramdaman ko ang kamay niya sa kamay kong hatak-hatak ang maleta ko. Agad akong napatingin sa kanya at doon ko lang napansin kung gaano kami kalapit sa isa't isa. "You seem bothered. Care to tell me why?" he asked almost as a whisper.

"Ma-Masyado ka atang malapit," bulong ko.

"Don't worry, Tere. I won't do anything you don't like me to do." He flashed a smile before leaning to my ear. "I'll make you want it instead," he whispered, which made me shiver.

With that he took my luggage from me and walked ahead, leaving me breathless and unmoving due to shock.

"Coming, Tere?" he shouted, not even looking back at me.

A-Anong ibig sabihin niya sa binulong niya?

Pwede pa rin naman akong tumakas, diba?

Nako talaga, Tere! Baka matuluyan yang sinabi ni Jester, babatukan talaga kitang babae ka.
