Way Back Home

22

“Oh, Bella's here.” he muttered that got everyone's attention.

Instead of glaring at him, I looked away and acted like I did not see him. After that, I proceeded to my seat.

I produce a little smile towards the couple but when I took a glance at the twins I both gave them a glare.

Namiel gave me back a teasing smile while the other one had no reaction on his face.

“Happy Anniversary po sa inyo Auntie! Mauuna na ho kami at baka maubusan pa ng lamesa.” it was Rawl who said those words.

At least, he made things so much easier for me. Aba! Dapat lang, ano!

“Good decision.” I whispered.

I saw Namiel beside my chair who is about to laugh at my statement but he managed not to. Or else, he would earn another glare from me.

“Halata ka masyado, madame.” he whispered at me then acted like nothing happened.

When they looked at us and about to ask what did he told me. It was my turn to tell them things, a little bit of lies. White lies. Maybe,

“Auntie, mauuna na raw sila kasi puputok na raw pwet no Rawl kasi natatae na raw, bulong sa akin ng kambal niya.” mahinahon kong sabi para na rin kapani-paniwala.

Gusto kong matawa sa reaksyon ni Rawl sa sinabi ko pero pinigilan ko ang sarili at bahagya pang kinurot ang kamay para lang hindi tuluyang natawa.

He looked defeated.

While his twin was about to burst out from laughing. I hold his leg and pinched it to stop him. His face was red as his twins but opposite of reasons.

I smiled sweetly at the couples across us and gave him a simple nod.

But them being so kind, they did not noticed my little trick and let the twins excused themselves, who still as red as tomatoes.

After they left, we prayed as we eat and talked about a lot of things. That happened after I left to pursue modeling.

“Nga pala, anak. Nagkausap na ba kayo ng kaibigan mong is Jeu?” she asked sincerely. More liked being worried.

Doon ko lang naalala na may iba pa pala akong kaibigan na naiwan dito. Na may kaibigan akong nagngangalang Jeu.

“Uhm. Hindi na po, matagal na po ang huli naming pag-uusap, bago pa ako nawalan ng trabaho.”

It was the truth though. She nodded and continued eating her food.

We were running out of water so I called the waiter who was about to pass at our direction and asked for water. I thanked him after he gave me the bottled water. Nagulat pa ako ng may kasama itong isang tissue at ballpen. Kaya mabilis akong napatingin sa kanya para tanungin ito ngunit hindi pa lamang ako nakapagsalita ay naunahan na niya ako.

“Autograph lang po, matagal na po kitang idolo Miss Ave.” he looked nervous but he survived to gave me a warming smile.

It felt so good. I could feel a very soft hand touching my heart.

“Sure. Sure. Thank you!” sabi sabi ko pa habang sinusulatan ang tissue.

We both said our 'thank you's' at the end. I waved my hands at him when he started to walk away to attend someones table.

I took a sip and almost gulp when I accidentally took a glance at Rawl who immediately looked away when I caught him looking at me. God knows for how too long.

By that, I don't feel comfortable. Kahit naman talaga kanina pa pero mas lalo lang iyong lumala nang maabutan ko siyang nakatitig sa akin.

Nag-uusap lang kaming tatlo sa lamesa ng may inabot sa aming isang buong cake na may nakalagay na 'Happy Anniversary Lovely Couples!'. They immediately said their appreciation to the waiter and turned to me with full smiles.
