Pagkauwi namin ay dumeretso na si mom sa home office niya. Ako naman ay nagdesisyon na lumabas ulit ng bahay.
I was sitting on our front porch looking out on the road watching the cars pass by. Until a familiar truck stopped in front of our house.
Anong ginagawa niya dito?
As expected, Noah got out of the driver's seat of his truck. He even waved at me before walking to the cargo bed part of the truck.
Nababalot padin ako ng pagkalito. Anong ginagawa niya? At bakit siya nandito?
I just sat there watching him pull something out of this truck.
My bike.
I completely forgot about my bike last night. I guess he did to because he didn't remind me.
I quickly stood up and opened the gate for him to come in.
"Good afternoon." Bungad niya with a smile on his face.
"Nakalimutan ko pala 'yan kagabi. Sorry naabala ka pa." Paghingi ko ng pasensya. Kinuha ko na din sakaniya yung bike at sinimulan na itulak papunta sa garage namin.
"No problem. It's a great excuse to see you." Sumunod siya sakin.
"Bakit? You wanted to see me?" I matched his energy.
"Of course I do." He confidently answered.
"Bakit?"
"I just wanted to." He shortly answered.
I turned around to look at him after I carefully put my bike in its place. I gave him a questioning look.
He just wanted to? He just wanted to see me? Why does that sound so bittersweet.
"What?" He asked me. He too was probably confused with the expression written all over my face.
"Wala. Tara sa loob?" Pagaya ko nalang sakaniya. I didn't want to overthink his words.
Tumango siya so I lead him inside into the living room where both Xelene and I were earlier.
Noah's a jerk.
Her words came echoing in my mind but I forcefully brushed it off.
"Nice house." Noah commented.
Unsurely I answered "Thanks?" then guided him to sit on the couch.
"What do you do for fun in here?" Tanong niya. I started thinking of some of the things I do in the living room.
"Mess with my brother." Natawa ako as I recalled how my brothers face would turn pink while trying to keep his composure when I make fun of him over and over again.
"Where is your brother pala?"
"Umalis kanina." I shortly said when I remembered he left earlier noong nandito pa di Xelene.
"Nope, I'm here." Gulat akong napatingin sa may entrance ng living room. When did he get back?
"Kuya? Kailan ka pa nakauwi?" I was sitting out on the front porch, I would've saw him come in.
"Doesn't matter. Sino ka?" Mabilis na itinuon niya ang kaniyang attensyon kay Noah.
Mabilis namang tumayo si Noah at lumapit kay Kuya.
"Noah." He greeted my brother with a warm smile. He even held his hand out for a hand shake. But that was left hanging because my brother was not feeling it.
"Sayo ba yung sasakyan sa labas?" seryosong tanong niya.
"Ah, that one? Yes, that's mine." nakangiti parin si Noah but now he had both of his hands in his pockets.
