"Isa pa nga."
"Woah, Woah. What happened to your 'I'm on a strict diet'?" Rider snickered matapos kong manghingi ng another plate of banana split.
Nandito kasi ako ngayon at nakatambay ulit sa ice cream parlor ni Rider. Stress reliever ko ang ice cream kaya I think mapapadalas ako rito sa susunod pang mga araw.
"Just give me. I'll just burn it in the gym."
"Well, if you insist." Pumunta siya sa counter para i-prepare ulit ang order ko.
Napahilamos ako sa mukha at muling nagpakawala ng malalim na buntong hininga.
"Lalim no'n ah." Dinaluhan muli ako ni Rider dala na ang 2nd plate of banana split ko. "My brother didn't ditch you right? Nabisto ba ang palabas niyo kaya lugmok na lugmok ka ngayon?" He sat in the chair across mine.
"Of course not. We're pretty convincing last night baka kahit ikaw makalimutan mong acting lang ang lahat."
"Then what's the problem?" I dig a spoonful of ice cream before answering.
"Si papa kasi..."
"What the hell are you doing?"
Shit!
Nahuli ako ni Creed na nagtatago sa gilid ng kotse niya. I panicked so hard kaya agad kong tinanggal ang hikaw ko sa tenga at saka kunwaring pinulot iyon sa sahig.
I stood up. "Dropped my earing." Ipinakita ko 'yung hikaw sa kaniya at kaswal na binuksan ang passenger seat ng kotse niya na parang walang nangyari.
Hindi ko na tiningnan ang reaksiyon niya at pumasok na lang sa loob. Hindi na rin naman niya ako kinausap pa at umikot na siya papunta sa driver's seat.
Tahimik lang kami throughout the drive. Walang nagbubukas ng topic about sa mga nangyari kanina. Sinusubukan kong pakiramdaman 'yung mood niya kung galit ba siya o naiinis pero wala akong mabasang emosyon sa mukha niya. He's just indifferent.
Pinili ko na lang manahimik hanggang sa makarating kami sa bahay namin.
"Thank you for tonight," I said as soon as we parked in front of my house.
Nilingon niya lang ako. He did not smile nor frown. He just looked directly into my eyes. I smiled awkwardly at lumabas na ng kotse niya. I sighed aggressively as soon as I got out.
Too much tension inside.
Pagkasara ko ng pintuan ng kotse ay agad niya na itong pinaharurot paalis.
"Yeah, you're welcome Leina." I just said to myself.
