Malaking buntong hininga ang pinakawalan ko habang nakatingin lang sa dalawang magkaibigang ngayon ay nakataas ang mga kilay habang hawak-hawak ang gatas ng buntis.
"Inuulit ko, kanino ito?" mommy asked while holding it tightly, hiding a slight bit of annoyance in the tone of her voice.
"Goodmorni-Mom?" bungad ni Aeolus habang kinukusot-kusot ang mga mata.
"Kanino ito?" Tita Abenzuella shot a dead glare at me na naging dahilan ng paghawak ko sa upuan ng counter.
Hindi naman nagtagal ay nabasak ang maingay na katahimikan noong pumasok si Sol sa apartment habang hawak-hawak ang pinabili kong kakanin kahapon. Tinignan niya ako at nilipat niya ang tingin sa dalawang matanda, na para bang tinatanong niya gamit ang mga mata sa kung anong paraan at kung bakit napunta rito ang dalawa.
"Sakan'ya po." I said nonchantly while pointing my finger to Soledad. Sana makuha ka sa tingin.
"Oh, that explains why." matamtamang sagot niya habang may pangungutiya sa mata. Nakasuot kasi si Soledad ng hindi masyadong maganda sa mata ng matatanda-lalo na sakanila. Kung ako rin siguro si Soledad, baka naoffend na rin ako.
"Anyways, we came here--it's because, death anniversary ng kapatid ko. You guys should come with us." my mother said, glaring at me.
Oh so it became my fault now? That they didn't say it beforehand?!
"Well, I don't know. We're kind of busy and Tito Marseille will understand from above." I hesitated, turned and walked to the window where busy cities flashed into my eyes.
She stepped closer to me, "Well if he can understand, I can't. I won't accept no for an answer. Get ready by 10."
"Let's not make things difficult. They're watching," while reaching the sides of me, she snapped and whispered something out of blackmail and went outside our apartment as fast as they could.
"You guys . . . are broken and miserable-and I can understand why." Soledad said with a matter of fact while recooking the side dishes that were made by me yesterday.
Nakatulala pa rin ako sa bintana ng apartment. Is this what I really want in life? To become miserable? But, I just wanted to help. Why is this so hard?
"What's wrong?" Aeolus hugged me and smelled my scent little by little.
"Something is bugging me." I replied, not sure why.
His hand reached my hair and carefully caressed it, comforting me, "Hmm, then how can I help?"
"Maligo ka nga muna!" I whined to switch topics, and it was a successful move.
"What? I don't stink! Geez!" pagdadabog na alis niya na ikinatawa ko naman.
"Sometimes, all I can say is-kelan kaya?!" Drome sniggered while arranging the plates.
"Bakit hindi nalang kayo magbati ni Sol? Mukha kayong ewan diyan sa kusina, walang imikan." pag-iba ko sa usapan na may halong asar sa dalawa.
Baka nga talaga tama ang hinala ko, may nagugustuhan silang dalawa tapos magkapareha pa. Bakit ba pinagaawayan ang mga lalaki?
"W-what? We're good, right?" paniniko pa niya sa kaibigan.
"Ano? Ah, okay lang kami." pilit namang sagot ni Soledad.
Nako talaga, mga kabataan ngayon. Wow, tunog tanda ako don.
Mabilisan naman akong nagbihis at kumain lang ng katamtamang pagkain. Sasama sa akin si Aeolus at Drome, habang maiiwan naman si Sol kay Ellie.
"Bilisan niyo nga diyan! San ba kayo pinaglilihi ha? at ang bagal-bagal niyo kumilos!" I shouted while finding something from my purse. It was a letter from Tito Marseille, that's supposed to be distributed to Tita Isabella.
