Dali-dali kong tiningnan si Cyryl at binigyan ng magandang ngiti na siyang binalewala niya lamang. Wow ha! Ang ganda ganda ng ngiti ko, tapos i-isnobin niya lang ako. Hmp!
"Take your sit, we're not going to be responsible kung mangalay ka man diyan." Utos niya.
"I'm sorry," bulong ko nalang.
"PSH! Parang walang utak!," bulong niya rin.
Imbes na mag eskandalo ay pinili ko na lang hindi siya tingnan at makipag usap nalang kay lola. Pero kahit na ganun ang nangyari, I can really feel his stares at me. And when the minutes goes on and on, his intense gaze didn't leave my presence. It feels like he wanted to kill me with his intense stares but I can somehow feel that he's making it slow. Para na siguro akong baliw dito habang inaayos ang itsura ko oras oras. I can also sense that Wencel notice my gestures and sad to say he's just chuckling or smirking when I'm looking on his way. What a jerk!
"You fine hija?", napansin na rin siguro ni lola ang kinikilos ko.
"Ahh opo, don't mind me nalang po." Inosenteng ngiti ko. This is really going bad.
"Hahahaha, your cute", komento ni lola na siyang nagpahiya lalo sa akin. Hindi nakakatulong ang titig ni Cyryl. Bwesit! "Anyway, let's just proceed to our official business here," patuloy ni lola.
I can't help to not mind Cyryl's stares but I perfectly ignored it with all my might. I will not easily back down on him but I don't think I can last long. Every now and then I fired glances to him but instead of him backing down on our staring fight, he's just using he's signature smirk and divert his attention to his talking grandmother.
All my job in that situation is to nod and nod and nod. I can't help to disagree with lola Cynthia's words and opinions because it seems that she's really having some good time while doing that and I don't have the heart to stop it.
I can't imagine myself staying here until I finished my studies. Paano ko kaya magagawa yun? Siguro ito yung sinasabi ni Lorraine kanina, kaya hindi mapakali ang budhi ng babaeng yun. Sino ba namang hindi matatameme sa limang mokong na yun? Eh ako nga kinakabahan parin kahit na hindi naman dapat.
After I finish unpacking my things, I decided to go out for a while to have some fresh air. Hindi naman ganun kalaki ang bahay para maligaw ako, surely they are fuckin' rich but I guess their grandma doesn't want them to boast it every time. Kaya siguro kahit sa bahay man lang, simple parin ang pagkakagawa. It just like a normal house with a middle class family.
Lola Cynthia and the remaining maids left after she explain everything and bid her goodbye's to her grandsons. Siguro mamimiss niya tong mga ito. Kahit naman siguro anong kulit ng mga toh, nakakamiss din naman siguro. Sana maranasan ko rin ang ganoong bagay. Ang malamang may mga taong nakakamiss sa akin, but I guess I will never have a chance to feel that way though. I bet tita Amanda's happy now with her sister beside her. How envious.
Nandito lang ako sa gilid ng pool. Sa may lamesa, for me to recall all the situation happened earlier. Kailangan kong maintindihan lahat ng nangyayari dahil kung hindi bukas o makalawa nasa mental na ako, and that's a big NO for me. I will never risk my study.
The wind is getting colder so I decided to enter the house. I was busy looking for portraits hanging on the wall when someone came from nowhere the reason while I'm standing there like a statue.
"Ice, halika na, kanina ka pa namin hinihintay, saan ka ba galing?", tinig ni Wencel.
Walanghiya ang mokong na toh, ginulat ako ah!.
