The Gravity Towards Him

Chapter 6

"Arf arf!" I heard Max's growl and felt him move more closer to my ear. 

Dahil sa ingay ay pilit kong ginalaw ang katawan ko para lumipat naman sa kabilang side ng kama, yakap-yakap pa rin ang unan ko. Akala ko ay magiging tahimik na si Max sa pagtahol pero bigla akong nakaramdam nanaman ng presensya sa tabi ko.

"Arf!" I suddenly felt Max's tail. He purposely wagged his tail very aggressively and because of that, unti-unti kong minulat ang mga mata ko.

"Kuya mamaya na 'ko kakain." Inaantok kong sinabi at hindi man lang tinignan kung sino 'yung tao. Alam kong si kuya iyon dahil Saturday na ngayon at alam ko na magtatrabaho sila Mama at Papa sa office. Busy kasi sila lalo na kapag weekends dahil marami silang sites na kailangang asikasuhin.

"Ex mo nasa labas."

I wasn't able to hear that well, but for sure I heard the word 'ex'. I quickly got up, ignoring my messy hair along with my pajamas, and ran as fast as I could to go outside. My brother called my name a few times but it didn't stop me even for a second.

My heart was beating so fast when I reached the main door. Our house had a little screen beside it and it shows the people waiting at our gate since the distance is a little far. Tinignan ko ng mabuti ang monitor. Nakatitig lang ako sa kabuoan nito at doon ko napagtanto na wala palang tao. Nagbuntong-hininga ako dahil akala ko ay totoo ang sinabi niya.

My brother arrived behind me at the same time I was about to go back inside my room. He was clearly guilty, since it was completely showed on his face. "S-sorry.." He was out of breath. Mukhang natakot talaga siya sa magiging reaction ko. Ako rin naman.. natakot.

"Okay lang." I assured him and went directly at our kitchen. He probably didn't mean that. I'm sure he just wanted me to get out of my bed and wake up. Well at least he did wake me up. 

"Natakot lang ako.." Mahina kong sinabi at tuluyan nang pumasok sa loob ng kusina.

Walang masyadong nangyari pagkatapos ng ganap kanina. Hindi ako nagalit kay Kuya Justin dahil alam ko namang hindi niya iyon sinasadya. He's making it up to me by cooking our lunch. Aside from that, my day was really boring.

"I'll just text Rae." I whispered to myself before I threw myself on the couch. Wala pa akong ligo at tinatamad pa ako kaya naisip ko na lang na lumabas. Alyssa and Kashka might have dates planned so I always texted Rae first.

You: Rae free ka ba? Tara labas tayo.

Rae replied minutes after. Ang sabi niya ay pupunta daw siya sa park kasama sila Alyssa. Inaya lang daw siya kaya tinanong ko na rin sa kanya kung pwede ba ako sumama. I told her to ask Kashka and Alyssa if they were okay with it dahil baka mamaya sila sila lang ang dapat kasama.

"Kuya!" Naglakad ako papunta sa kwarto niya. May nagdoorbell kasi sa gate tapos nung tinignan ko ang monitor ay nalaman ko na mga kabandmates niya ang nasa labas. Siguro ay tatambay nanaman.
