It's Official! (Oh Is It?)

16

"Guys, let's watch cinema movies?" Maui asked when Kian asked where we were going next. Natapos na kaming kumain pero nandito pa rin kami sa loob ng fast food restaurant, planning. Inuubos rin pala ang drinks na na-order namin.

Today is Saturday and Kian suggested yesterday na lumabas daw kami with the Flores cousins. I mean, Xyrone and Maui. Mga bandang lunch na rin kami nakaalis because tinapos pa namin nina Chary ang group activities namin.

Marami ring mga customers na nagpupunta and mostly families, circles of friends, mga lovers, and of course, may mga solo rin. Idagdag pa ang mellow music na pang-senti na naririnig dito sa loob.

Nakaupo kami malapit sa bintana kaya kitang kita ang nature view sa labas. I was sitting right next to Xyrone; katabi ko naman sa kabilang side si Maui and then tabi naman niya si Kian.

"Okay lang. Ano, guys?" Kian shrugged his shoulders, and I also agreed. Kahit saan naman, okay lang sa akin. Hindi naman ako choosy sa place as long as there is no chaos. Tumango si Maui sabay ngiti.

She looked at his cousin as if asking him kung gusto or ayaw. I also looked at him, who was now leaning his back on the chair while his arms crossed around his chest. He seems uninterested in movies or anything. I doubt he would.

Umayos siya ng upo at tsaka tumikhim nang mapansing nakatingin kami sa kanya.

"Ayoko. It's not my thing." He casually said.

I knew it! I mentally shrugged my shoulders. Mauie pouted and heaved a sigh, starting to think of another place to go. I saw in my peripheral vision that Kian just left out a soft chuckle. Alam kong gets ni Kian si Xyrone, lalaki sila eh.

"Ayaw mo, e 'di wag. Kaming tatlo na lang." Maui softly laughs at tsaka inakbayan ako.

"Double date nga tayo di'ba? Sino'ng ka-date ni Kianna kung tatlo kayo at mag-isa ko lang? E 'di third wheel siya nyan?" Xyrone chuckled but I gasped when he mentioned that 'ka-date ni Kianna'. Alam kung labas ito but hindi ko inasahang he will consider it our date. Nakakagulat lang sa part ko lalo't galing sa kanya mismo.

"I am with myself." I managed to laugh.

"Hindi siya magiging third wheel, bro. Baka ako pa maging third wheel sa dalawang 'yan." Kian laughed, making us too. Well, he got it right. We're close na ni Maui as if we knew each other before.

"Okay, ganito na lang kaya, since both of you want to watch movies, kayo na lang dalawa. Hindi na lang rin ako sasama." I told them, making Xyrone furrow.

"Sure ka ba? We can go to another place naman para magkakasama tayo." I nodded at Maui's. "Oh-okay."

"Sige, alam ko namang gusto ng isa diyan solohin ang kapatid ko, maghiwalay muna tayong apat." Kian showed his teasing voice, emphasized the 'ma-solo' and then glanced at me. I gave him a furrow in the brow.

"Basta sa lobby tayo maghihintayan mamaya." Turo niya sa loob ng isang department store. We are actually just nearby, meters away from here.

"Okay." He nodded his head in agreement. They were about to go out of the restaurant but Xyrone called Kian and made them stop.

"Halika saglit." Sumenyas siya papunta sa kung saan.

"Ano na naman?" Kian complained, scratching his nape.

Lumayo sila ng kaonti sa amin. Umakbay pa sa balikat ni Kian na parang may sikretong binubulong. Pareho pa silang sumulyap sa amin. I furrowed out of curiosity.

"I guess, may plans 'yang dalawa." Iling ni Maui sa kanila.

"Yeah. Should we get nervous?" I laugh softly. She just laughed, too. Tiwala naman akong wala silang plans na kalokohan. Well, I hope so!
