CHAPTER 24
After naming namasyal ay tumambay kaming dalawa ni Zariah sa porch. Marami siyang mga bagay na itinanong sa akin at nag-share siya tungkol sa buhay niya abroad. She shared to me that she was taking his training in Japan and I didn't asked further about her life.
Pumasok din kaagad kami sa bahay nang tawagin para magtanghalian. Kung kaninang almusal ay kami lang, ngayon naman ay kasama na ang kanilang magulang which made me shiver me nervous.
Hindi ko kasi matagalan ang titig nila sa akin. They're like examining me or something. Kaya sa oras ng pagkain ay nakatitig lang ako sa aking pagkain.
"This is just one week, dad," Zavier said to his father.
"Yeah, that's why you should enjoy your stay here and relax yourself."
"We're doing that, dad."
"Hija," I was taken aback when Zavier's daddy turned to me with his squinted eyes.
"Yes p-po?"
I bit my lips when I stuttered.
"You're really familiar to me. Have we met before?"
Napatitig ako sa mukha niya. Ang kasama namin ay nagtataka.
"I don't know po," nagbaba ako ng tingin nang pasadahan ako ng tingin nang iba pang naroon.
"Yeah, you look familiar," segunda ng ama ni Zayn.
"H-hindi ko po alam."
"Maybe you just mistook her for someone," Zach's mother shrugged.
Because of what happened I can't eat my food properly. It seems like all of their eyes were on me and examining every move I made.
About what Zavier's daddy said, I don't know if we really met before but I think not. Makalimutin ako pero hindi ko sila namumukhaan.
Hanggang sa pag-aayos ko ng gamit ay hindi ko maiwasang hindi pansinin ang mga titig nila sa akin. I was disturbed from what I did when someone cleared her throat.
I bit my lips when I saw that it's Zach's mother. Her fierce face was making me swallow hard.
"My son wants to talk to you," she said in a serious voice. "He's on the porch."
I nodded and lead my way to the porch. Nakahinga lang ako ng maluwag nang makaalis na ako sa harapan niya. His mother's intimidating.
"Bakit parang tinakasan ka ng kaluluwa?" natatawang tanong ni Zayn.
"I interacted with his mother."
They laughed.
"Ganoon lang talaga si Tita. Hindi lang naman ikaw ang sinindak niya. Ganiyan din siya sa mga past girlfriends ni Zach."
"You okay?" tanong ni Zach at sinuklay ang buhok ko.
"Hindi naman ako nilapa ng mama so I think okay lang ako."
"Silly."
Pinaupo niya ako sa tabi niyang bakanteng upuan. I looked at his cousins na naglalaro ng uno.
"Saan tayo bukas?" tanong ni Zariah, nanaig pa rin ang accent niya.
"Maliligo tayo sa batis," suhestiyon ni Zavier na sinang-ayunan naman nila kaagad.
Napangiti ako nang maramdaman ang kamay ni Zach na humahaplos sa buhok ko. He's always like this. Mukha nang gustong-gusto niya nag buhok.
"Bakit ganoon ang mommy mo?" tiningala ko siya at tinaasan lang niya ako ng kilay.
