Drastic Waves in Bondi

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

When I invited Rasha over, nang makita siya ni Kuya Henry at niyayang sumama sa kanya sa Bondi beach para tulungan siyang magtinda, Rasha almost leave with my kuya alone. I just had to lock her in my room until kuya left and Rasha felt so sad dahil gusto niya ngang tulungan si kuya and as if I would let her do that.

We have other interesting things to do.

Pagbukas ko ng pinto, malapad ang ngiting ibinungad ko kay Rasha. All I just get from her is her eyes rolling like crazy.

"I could've been with Henry right now."

Tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay. "He can do everything there by himself."

"But by the fact that he mentioned that women going to his food truck isn't really trying to buy what he sells, but trying to get to know him." She crossed her arms, looked so pissed.

"Don't act like a bitch to me, Rasha. I'm letting you flirt with my ugly kuya, but I'm not gonna let you date him. For Pete's sake, that's disgusting."

She let out a sharp breath. "Okay, fine, whatever. So, what are we doing today? Are we doing live?"

Umiling ako. "No, not right now. I don't think so. They will just flood the comments saying what the process of interviewing Valerio is. I'm trying to get it off my head for now. I should focus myself on other things."

Tawa naman ang nakuha kong reaksyon mula kay Rasha.

"Why are you laughing so weird?" I questioned, scrunching my face.

She giggled. "Well, if I didn't know what you're doing behind those live streams, I'm not sure what to say, but now that you're one step closer to Valerio... I feel like you're taking it seriously? Am I right, Thesia?"

I thought I should put a straight face to what she was saying, but I couldn't hold my laugh and she looked at me weirdly.

"And now you're the one who's laughing so weird," she commented. "Well, if you like him, you tell me! I won't judge you."

I squinted my eyes when she mentioned that. "No. Why would you even say that, huh? First of all, I'm not interested in Valerio. He's gorgeous and very fit, but I don't like him! I don't have any infatuation with that guy. Gosh, Rasha, I'm just doing my followers a favor... and something I could use to my career."

Napakibit balikat na lamang si Rasha. "Okay, if that's what you want me to know. I'll be fine with that..." May namuo na namang ngiti sa labi niya pero hindi ko na inalam kung anong tinatago niya.

Niyaya ko na lang siya pababa. When we're about to leave, nakasalubong namin si Kuya Craig at ang jowa nitong si Ate Jenna. When they asked me kung saan kami pupunta ni Rasha, I just told them sa kung saan-saan lang and then Ate Jenna requested if they could join us.

Rasha immediately said yes. Siya na mismo ang pumayag at dahil wala naman akong choice kung hindi isinama sila. Ang pang-uuto ko lang kay Kuya Craig ay manlilibre siya and he has no escape from it. Pumayag din siya. Wala pa naman akong ideya kung saan kami pupunta, but wherever we might go, it would be somewhere interesting.

Though Kuya Craig has some suggestions, why don't we go to the Bondi Golf & Diggers Club? Napakibit balikat naman ako. Well, member ang family namin do'n so it won't be a problem if we go there, pero gusto ko nga bang pumunta ro'n at maglaro ng golf? I don't think it's what I wanted to do, but because I also want to hang out with kuya's fiancée, it would be a good time na rin.

We get on kuya's car and drive all the way to the spot. Hindi naman matagal ang biyahe namin dahil malapit lang naman ang area na 'yon. Pinangunahan naman ni kuya ang pagpasok namin sa loob ng club. But I stayed when I noticed someone else not far from where we are.
