Confrontation
Seeing him in this state made me realize something. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hurt when he chose to leave on the day of the debate and his decision to go to Danica, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed with him, but he's hurt as well. He's been through a lot and blames himself for it
Nanatili kami sa ganong posisyon hanggang sa kumalma ito at sabay namin hinarap ang magulang nya na nasa hapagkainan. I rub his hand and give him a nod. Hanggang sa makaupo kami ay hindi ko binitawan ang kamay nito
The dinner turns good, I saw his brother Thiago beside Danica and his son. The boy I met in hospital which his cousin Blaze, across was Eisen parents. Hindi ko na tinangkang tignan pa ulit ang kapatid at inabala ang sarili sa pagkain
"Is anybody home?!" exclaimed by someone. Matinis ang boses nito at pambabae, pansin ko ang panlalaki ng mata ng mga magulang ni Eisen at ng kapatid nito. I looked at Eisen with question look but like the others he also have the same reaction
"I'm home, guys!" exclaimed the lady in the yellow dress. I stared at her for a long time as they stood up to approach her, trying to recall where I had seen or met her before. Eisen stood up too
"Tinley" He mumbled. Hindi pakapaniwalang tinignan ko ulit ang babae, nagsalubong ang tingin naming dalawa at walang nilagpasan ang sumalubong sa kanya
"O to the M to the G! It's her kuya?! You found her?!" She exclaimed again as she look at me. Hindi mapigilang mapakagat ako sa labi ng maalala ko sya
Bata pa ito ng huli kong makita then now she's a fine lady. Still the hype and bubbly girl who plead me to sell my blueberry cake. "Hi" I greeted and smiled at her
Walang ano ano itong umupo sa upuan ni Eisen at nagsimula akong tanungin "Kuya, is she your girlfriend now?" tanong nito at saglit na binallingan ang kapatid na ngayon ay nakatayong nakasimangot sa likod nya
"Ako jan Tinley, tabi kami" Angal nito sabay kalabit sa kapatid
"Dun ka muna kuya tabi muna kami ng girlfriend mo" Apila nito at irunong pa palapit ang upuan katabi ko
"Tinley, hindi nya pa girlfriend. Hindi pa sya sinasagot" Pagtatama ng dad nito. Sinaway naman ito ng asawa pero nauwi lang sa pagtawa at pangasar
"Sorry my bad, hindi mo pa pala girlfriend" Gatong pa ni Tinley at binigyang diin ang salitang girlfriend.
"Mahina. Asher, dude teach your uncle papa" His cousin Blaze teased. His looking at Danica and Thiago son, his name is Asher? I smiled cool name
"Uncle Blaze, Let uncle papa learn on his own" He boasted. We couldn't help but to laugh
"Tita ganda is pretty and smart, uncle should really work hard" He added. Napailing ako at hindi mapigilang humanga sa bata, he's cute and adorable.
When our eyes met he winked, and I couldn't help but winked too. I looked at Danica na ngayon ay natatawa rin sa anak, nginitian ko ito ng magtagpo ang tingin namin. Pagkatapos ay tinuon ko naman ang pansin kay Eisen na ngayon ay may kunot na ang noo
I bit my lips and smile at him. Our dinner continue, mas umingay dahil panay ang kwento ni Tinley. Galing itong manila at bumayahe lang, she's college student and she's into modeling. Hindi natapos ang usapan ng hindi nito tinatanong ang malusog kong buhok
Since then se used to like my hair, I still remember when he offered me a clip dahil wala ito kahit anong nakaipit tanging pretendeng nakalugay lang. "Ate hindi pumasok sayo ang modelling? I mean duh, I'm sure many agencies will get you"
"Don't give her idea" Eisen breathed. Nakasandal ito sa upuan habang ang tingin ay nasaakin
"Sus, panigurado marami kang magiging kaagaw" Kita ko ang pagdaloy ng inis dito ng marinig ang sinabi ng kapatid. Pikon talaga
