"So how's my favorite daughter?" Inirapan ko si mommy kaya agad naman siyang natawa.
"As if you have a choice." I pointed out to her.
Anniversary nila ni tito bukas at dito nila naisipang mag-celebrate sa Tagaytay. They booked a private villa for us. Tito's children are also here. I'll stay over the night but I'll go back to Manila right after breakfast tomorrow
"But how are you really? Pumapayat ka lately, di ka ba kumakain?" I don't know why parents often point out that their children lost weight after not seeing them for a while.
"Guni-guni mo lang 'yan, ma." Sagot ko lang sa kanya.
"Tita, dad's looking for you." It's my stepbrother.
"Okay, I'll be there. Ikaw munang bahala dito kay Julia." Nakangiti niyang sabi bago ako iniwan.
"Beer?" Alok niya sa akin. Kakatapos lang din naming magdinner.
"Ayoko, ambaho niyan eh." He chuckled at my response.
"You really prefer hard drinks rather than beer." He claimed before drinking.
"Eh nakakalaki kasi ng tiyan 'yan." Pagpapaliwanag ko sa kanya.
"It's the only available drink in the fridge. I can't believe that I'm spending my Friday night here instead of partying." Napalingon ako sa kanya sa narinig.
"And since when did you start partying?" Natahimik siya sa naging tanong ko, para bang nahuli ko siya sa mga kabalastugan niya.
"Since we broke up." Agad namang nanlaki ang mata ko sa narinig.
"Why did you break up? You looked so good together, Xavi!" Instead of answering, he just drank from his bottle.
"It's a long story. I'll just invest my time training rather than thinking of her."
"Hay nako, kayong mga basketball player talaga. Sakit sa ulo. Ayan ang problema sa inyo eh, dinadaan niyo sa laro lahat pati mga babae pinaglalaruan niyo. Ang gagaling niyo sa una tapos kapag panahon na ng kagipitan nawawala kayo." I blurted out which I eventually regretted.
"And what does that suppose to mean, dear sister? Ako kapatid mo diba? Bakit si-" Natigilan siya sa dapat na sabihin nang marealize kung ano ang pinanghuhugutan ko.
Gwapo't matalino itong kapatid ko pero madalas ay slow talaga siya.
"Shit, are you dating an athlete, Julia Arnaize?" Gulat niyang tanong.
"Huh, ulol. Wala! Hindi ah!"
