Pagkarating namin sa bahay ng mga magulang ni Grayson, a lot of people are already there. There were people who—I think—were the same age as me. I saw a couple who's also there together with their child, which I think is three years old.
"Hey, pare!" pagbati ng isang lalaki kay Grayson bago nakipag-fistbump. "Kumusta?"
Ngumiti si Grayson. "I'm fine alone." He chuckled. "How's Manila, Hugo?"
The guy shrugged. "Boring as usual." They laughed before the guy turned to me. "And you are?"
I smiled and extended my right arm for a handshake. "I'm Ruth."
"Wow, what a beautiful woman you are with, Grayson!" He chuckled before accepting my handshake offer. "I'm Hugo. Pinsan ni Gray. Are you his girlfriend?"
Napalingon ako kay Grayson. Lumunok siya at nag-iwas ng tingin sa pinsan. Ibinalik ko ang tingin kay Hugo. "No, I'm just his friend."
Tumawa si Hugo. "Ohhh, that's good."
Napakunot-noo ako nang natatawa. Magtatanong pa sana ako nang naramdaman ko ang kamay ni Grayson sa palapulsuhan ko, saka pinagbitiw ang kamay namin ni Hugo.
"What the hell?" Hugo laughed again.
"Ipapakilala pa kita sa kanila."
Tumango na lang ako at sumama sa kan'ya. Ipinakilala niya ako sa mga pinsan niya na nadaraanan namin. They were all welcoming me with a warm hug like I'm already a part of their family. Hanggang sa nakarating na kami sa kusina kung nasaan ang parents niya.
"'Ma, 'Pa, this is Ruth."
Nag-angat ng tingin sa akin ang babaeng may puti na ang buhok. Binitiwan niya ang hawak na bowl na may lamang pagkain bago ako hinawakan sa magkabilang braso.
"Napakaganda mo naman, hija!" masayang pagbati niya sa akin matapos makipag-beso. "Is my son treating you right?" dagdag na tanong nito nang nakangiti.
Napaawang ang bibig ko pero pinanatili pa rin ang ngiti dahil nakakahiya naman kung bigla kong ipapakita na naguluhan ako sa sinabi niya. Tumango ako nang ilang ulit bago sumagot. "O-Opo. He's a . . . very good friend to me."
Yup . . . a very good friend. I think he's good at making out too, ma'am.
"Friend?"
Tumawa si Grayson bago ako hinila at dinala sa papa niya na nagtitimpla ng juice. "Hello po."
Ngumiti sa akin ang papa ni Grayson. "Kumusta, Ruth? I hope you're enjoying your stay here in Bohol!"
He went closer to me for a beso too.
Why does his parents seems like they know about me . . . already?
Tumango ako habang tumatawa. "O-Opo, I'm enjoying my stay!"
