Agad akong padapang humiga sa kama habang nakatutok sa laptop ko na hanggang ngayon nasa screen parin yung facebook wall ko.
Cli-nick ko yung five messages, tatlo galing sa mga lalakeng wala lang magawa sa buhay nila and yung dalawa galing kay Madeline. My older sister. Hindi ko sya tinatawag na ate, ayaw nya din naman e so Mads nalang, Melow naman yung tawag nya sakin.
In-open ko na yung message nya at natawa naman ako sa lumabas na picture. It was a picture of her, wearing a light brown two piece bikini habang may hawak sa magkabilang kamay yung katulad din ng suot nya. Oh well..
Ganito naman yung nakalagay sa isang message nya.
‘Ciao~ Melow! I bought you a pair of bikini same with what I am wearing in the picture. Pay me 5k for that.’
As usual, never expect a free gift from Mads you’ll only get disappointed.
Nag type na ko ng reply.
‘Come home so I can give the payment.’
Problema kasi sa kanya dalawa na nga lang kaming magkapatid ang hilig nya pang mag dora-dora.
Wala pa yatang sampung segundo may reply na sya.
‘Sound like Melow already missed me huh?! But NO. I’ll have the payment when I decided to come home. By the way, I had already sent the bikini this morning. Do you have it now?’
Nagcheck ako ng time it’s 12noon in the Philippines anu na kayang oras sa bansa kung nasaan si Mads. Ayaw pa kasing sabihin kung nasan sya. As if susundan ko sya.. Hmmm maybe dad would. Surely he will.
*ding dong*
Agad akong tumakbo sa labas para tignan kung sino yung nag door bell. May wild guess na ko since hindi naman na nagdo-door bell sila Ace pag pupunta dito, lalo namang hindi sila momma.
“Delivery po para kay Melody Reigman.”
So tama nga ang wild guess ko. Pinirmahan ko na yung pinapapirma nung delivery man at binigyan ko sya ng tip bago kinuha yung box na hawak nya.
Bumalik na ko sa kwarto at hinarap uli yung laptop at nagtype uli sa chatbox.
‘I’ve received it. TY.’
May nagpop uling message na agad kong cli-nick.
‘Wear it. Take some shots then send it to me. I want to see what it would look like if you are the one wearin’ it.’
Halos lahat kasi ng damit na meron sya gusto nya may damit din ako katulad non. Wala akong tyaga na maghanap ng mga damit na meron sya so it always end up na sya nalang yung bumibili para sakin. Pero syempre, IT WASN’T FREE.
Tumayo ako saka mabilis na ni-lock yung pinto. I took off my clothes and under garments then put on Mads’ ‘NOT FREE’ gift.
Nag set ako ng timer sa DSLR ko then nag pose ng kung anu-anung pose. Weird I know pero ganito talaga kaming magkapatid so just bear our weirdness.
Nung makontento na ko in-upload ko na agad sa laptop then sinned lahat kay Mads. Half an hour passed but still I didn’t receive a reply. Malamang inistorbo na naman siya ni Ivan, his boyfriend.
Nagba-browse nalang ako ng kung anu-ano sa wall ko nung may magpop uling message. From Ace.
‘You want some tips Melody?’
Napangiti ako bigla. If only he knows.
‘Shoot.’ –me
‘Cook something for him.’ –Ace
Urgh I know how to cook, basta ba kami lang ni Mads yung kakain. Well, we have some unique ways of cooking.
‘Not that one. Another?’ –me
‘A way to a man’s heart is to his stomach. Try it Melody.’
Napangiti ako. I have a plan..
‘Hey, still there?’
‘Yup. I’ll go there. YOU’LL TEACH ME HOW TO COOK. Since that was your idea.’
