Moving On (KathNiel)

Chapter 51

LUKE's POV

"Hi." I instantly opened my laptop at bumungad sa akin ang napaka-gandang mukha niya. I even smiled wider and she giggled lovely.

Ilang araw na ata kaming nagska-skype ni Kylie. And, malapit na siya mag-one week doon. She said malapit na rin daw matapos 'yung gusot sa kompanya nila doon. But, I badly missed her so much.

"How's your day?" I asked her.

"Well, good." she paused and looked at me, "'Di ba christmas na diyan in minutes, bakit hindi ka maki-celebrate with your family? Hope na naghanda kayo"

I nodded. "Yeah, puro matatanda at bata lang ang nandoon sa baba. Dito nalang ako"

She laughed on the screen. "Dork! Christmas is all about God and Family, you should celebrate with them. Sige na"

I pouted. "Ayaw ko pa nga"

She just chuckled. As I looked at her, happiness was evident. Masaya siya, I guess. Ilang oras nalang din at Christmas na sa kanila.

Sana andito siya.

"What time na diyan?" she asked that made me cut my thoughts.

"Mga, 11:15 pm na. Diyan?"

Kylie turned her side just to look at the clock beside her, I guess. "3:15 pm"

{a/n: hindi po legit ang time zone. i just mentally converted it. kaya kung may mali or corrections kayo, you can comment po. okay? bye.}

"Huy, bumaba ka na nga kasi" she keep on nagging me.

Inis akong tumayo at inayos ang polong nagusot.

"Bakit ba?" I irritably asked.

"Aalis kasi ako."

I sighed and said 'okay' before turning off the skype call. Dahil wala naman akong magawa, bumaba ako at naabutan ang lahat ng masaya. Buti pa sila, masaya.

"Ba't ka pa bumaba?" Mama sarcastically asked while preparing our food for Noche Buena.

Kumuha ako ng brownies at kinagat ito. "Kylie asked me too"

"Teka, nagska-skype kayo?!" she hysterically yelled at me. Akala mo naman ang layo namin sa isa't -isa.

I coolly nodded. "Matagal na, Ma"

Nagulat ako nang magtapon sa'kin si Mama ng wrapper sa gift. Tawang-tawa naman akong umiilag. Anong problema ni Mama? Buntis na naman kaya 'to?

Joke lang.

"Ikaw talagang bata ka! Hindi mo man lang sinabi na nagska-skype pala kayo at nag-uusap!"

I pouted like a kid. "Seems you love Kylie than me? Sinong bang anak mo Ma?"

"Syempre ikaw! Baka gusto mong ibalik pa kita sa uterus ko at ipagsiksikan ang sarili mo sa mga dugo ko! Ikaw talaga, sira ulo ka!" sagot niya in a harassed way.

"Yuucks" I remarked saka pumunta sa sala. I saw Lauree handling her phone, technically browsing her accounts. Kebata-bata pa nito, lakas na maka-teenager. Tinuruan kasi ng mga kaklase niya. I sat beside her.

"Lauree, kausapin mo naman ako oh?" I pleaded childishly and tucked her hair playfully. Ginawa ko 'yon ng paulit-ulit para mainis siya.

"Ugh, Kuya! You're so nakakainis! Mama, si Kuya oh!" she yelped and looked at me deadly. Napatawa nalang ako sa inasal ko.

Masaya lang talaga ako.

Ilang minutes rin ay tinawag ako ni Mama para pumunta sa garden namin. I saw some of our relatives and well-knowned friends. May long table pa where in the foods are neatly and creativity placed.
