"WHERE to next?" Tanong ni Eli dahil naghihintay nalamang sila ngayon ng bill.
"Are you sure you don't want to split the bill?" San glances worriedly at Eli.
"For the fourth time, San. It's fine. Besides, na drive ko 'yong car ni Kuya. I'd happily pay for what we eat." Ngisi nito sa Kuya niya.
San hated this feeling.
Yung parang may utang na loob siya. She hated it even more nuong nawala ang magulang niya. She feels so uneasy kapag ganito. Nasanay siya masyadong na siya ang nagp-provide kaya't hindi siya mapakali, lalo na't hindi naman sila ganoong mag-kakakilala pa.
"Let him pay, Santana." If anything, Tres' voice sounded softer than usual. Pero hindi iyon napansin ni San. Her legs are bouncing, and for some weird reason, Tres felt her discomfort. Tinitigan niya ito hanggang naramdaman ni San na nakatitig ito sa kanya.
San blew out a breath before nodding slightly and before stopping her legs from bouncing. Somewhat she understood the look.
Assurance. It's either that or assuming lang siya. Isip nito.
Nang makuha na nila ang bill ay lumabas na sila sa Barcino.
Nag-aya sa Titan si Jules dahil meron daw bangong labas na sapatos na titignan siya kaya't naglalakad silang lima papunta doon. Pinagtitinginan sila. Of course people would recognize the four, considering napakalapit lang din nila sa home court.
"Is there anywhere you want to go? We can split." Tres asked as he fall a step closer to San.
Umiling si San. "I'm just here to observe you, diba? Don't mind me." Nakangiting sambit nito. Tres just hummed in response.
Nang dumating sila sa Titan ay medyo nag hiwahiwalay sila. San, Tres, and Jacob was left behind dahil hinigit ni Jules si Eli para hanapin ang gustong sapatos.
"See anything you like?" Tanong ni Tres na lumapit kay San dahil nakatingin ito sa wall of sneakers.
"No. Not for me at least." Tumingin ito sa suot na Onitsuka Tiger nito. "I had this two years ago." Napatingin din tuloy si Tres dito. It almost looks pristine. Mukhang months ago lang ito binili at hindi two years ago.
Napatingin naman si San sa suot na sapatos ni Tres. It's a Jordan 1 x Travis Scott. "Your shoes are nice." Kumento ni San habang nakatingin pa din silang dalawa sa mga sapatos nila.
"Thanks. I have a pair of the same shoes that you're wearing." Sambit ni Tres habang nakatingin sa sapatos ni San.
"Weh? Twins!" Natatawang sabi ni San at tumingin ito kay Tres who nodded in return.
"I found it! Sawakas, may size na din ako!" Jules exclaimed while he and Eli are walking towards San.
Yakap yakap ni Jules ang paperbag niya habang may malaking ngiti sa mukha. "You look happy, Jules." San couldn't help but chuckle. Mukha kasi itong batang napagbigyang bumili ng chocolate.
"I am! Last week ko pa 'to hinahanap. Parating walang size for me." Sagot ni Jules.
Narinig ni San na nag uusap si Tres at si Jacob kaya't napalingon siya dito. Medyo mahina ang pinaguusapan nila pero narinig niya ang ilan dito na tungkol sa sapatos. Español pa din ang usapan nila.
