"Where are you taking me, Lila?" Observing the place where she's driving me to, seems like it's not the "fun" that I was expecting earlier.
"You'll know when we get there." She winked.
Nako, tong mga ngiti at kindat ng babaeng to napaka delekado.
"We're here!" Nakangiti niyang sinabi.
"Where exactly are we?" Tanong ko habang tinitingnan ang paligid. We're inside someone's home property.
"You'll know. Ops, let me." She stopped me from opening the car door. Confused, but I let her. She went outside and opened the door for me instead?
"Nemen." I commented jokingly.
Sa hindi ko malamang dahilan ay pumayag akong makipag hawak kamay ni lodi papunta sa— teka, san nga ba kami? At kaninong bahay ba eto?
Ay Kisses tanga tangahan lang? Pwede naman kasi magtanong. "Is this your house?"
"Ahuh."
"What are we doing here then?"
"Fun." Pasimple niyang sagot habang hawak hawak niya pa rin ako sa kamay.
Just like I always do with her, I let her.
We went inside and passed by their living room. We walked silently but crazy, chuckling while looking at each other. Ano to, high school lang?
Hanggang papalapit na kami sa kitchen area ay may naririnig akong mga boses— maraming boses.
I stopped making Lila confused, "If you don't mind me asking, w-where are? I mean yes, it's obviously your house but w-who are they?"
Sasagot na sana ako nang may lumabas na babae mula sa kitchen area, "Lila sweetie! You're finally here!" Nakangiti niyang salubong kay lodi.
Kahit may edad na ang kausap niya ay makikita mo pa rin ang taglay niyang ganda.
"Auntie! Of course naman. Apologies for being late— by the way, si Kisses po auntie." At nabigla ako nang ipinakilala niya agad ako.
"Oh hi Kisses! The beautiful Kisses as what my niece has told me." Tsaka niya bineso.
Ano raw?
"Go ahead inside, your mum is waiting." Lalong humigpit ang pagkahawak ko sa kamay ni lodi nang narinig ko ang sinabi ng auntie niya.
"Yes po, we're going there na nga po eh. San ka pala auntie?"
Her auntie whispered, "Mag j-jebs lang. Nakakahiya naman sa bisita mo. Oh tsa, go na ako." At tumakbo palayo si auntie. Kahit nakakatawa ay di ko magawang tumawa dahil kasunod neto ay isasama ako sa gathering nila.
Ang dami talagang sorpresa ni Lila.
"Uy nandito na pala si ate!" Sabi ni... oh yeah I remember, she's Jenna. Lila's sister, yung vlogger. "Wait, you look familiar are you—"
"Yes it was her yung binuhusan mo ng beer sa beach." Natatawang sagot ni Lila, "So guys this is Kisses, the girl I'm talking about."
"Omg so it was you! Sorry po talaga that night, I was really wasted." Hysterically explained by Jenna.
"Hehe, ano ka ba, ok lang yun." Kung may awkward person ngayon, ako na yun.
"So we good?" I nodded, "Yey! Welcome to the fam!" Then she hugged me. Kahit nagtataka at nahihiya, I hugged her back. "Will you mind if I include you in the vid? I'm, you know, responsible for the documentation?"
"Maniwala ka jan, the next day after tonight makikita mo na sarili sa vlog nyan." Whispered Lila.
"Ate naman! Di ako ganyan ah, hihingi kaya ako ng consent. But since you already mentioned it, what do you think of the idea ate Kisses?" Tanong ni Jenny sa akin.
