Dancing With The Waves

CHAPTER THREE

"You payed our foods na, diba kuya?" rinding tanong ni Ashley kay Kuya Damien habang kumakain kaming tatlo sa isang samgyupsal restaurant.

Weeks have already passed. As usual, still busy with studies. Katatapos lang ng exam namin and finally, first semester had ended.

And about that guy, Wave. I thought babalik na kami sa sariling routine after we ate lunch together, supposedly it's my treat but he keeps on saying na hindi na kailangang bayaran, bayad niya na raw sa drinks 'yon kaya wala akong nagawa kundi sumang ayon.

I thought after that scene, hindi na ulit kami mag uusap but this damn guy always went to our department! kahit minsan may klase pa kami! ako na nahihiya sa pinag gagawa niya.

Some of my classmates will be fluttered and will keep on asking me if something was going on between us, like what the hell? I mean, he didn't came to our department to do some sweet stuffs or something, lagi lang nang iinis at nagpapalibre sa akin kahit in the end ay siya din ang gagastos! masyadong weird. Minsan, he's also with Kuya Damien. I know nagtataka na si kuya but he didn't mind asking me, wala din naman akong maisasagot kung sakali.

I really wanted to punch that guy right in front of his face dahil lagi na akong naiinis sa kaniya. He only said to treat him for lunch pero nung ililibre ko na ayaw naman niyang tanggapin ang bayad. He's always in front of our department every lunch! I said that I will just treat him to end his act, he will just nod pero pag dating sa cafeteria siya na ang unang magbabayad. Lagi akong iniinis!

"I thought it's your treat?" takang tanong ni Kuya Damien kay Ashley bago uminom sa tubig niya, binatukan naman nitong isa.

"Anong ako? ikaw nag-aya dito kuya tapos ako magbabayad?!" talagang naiinis na sagot ni Ashley, I almost laughed how her ears turned into red because of annoyance.

"Ako ba nag aya?" parang walang alam na tanong ni Kuya sa kaniya. Kuya Damien immediately raised both of his hands na parang nahuli siya ng pulis when Ashley gestured to punch him.

"Easy, relax lang sis, nabayaran ko na kanina pa, masyado kang high blood." Kuya Damien said before shaking his head.

"Dapat sinabi mo na agad, dami mo pang satsat kuya. Che!" Inis na sagot ni Ashley dito at hinila na ako patayo, tapos na rin naman ako kumain. "Let's go na" dagdag niya.

I just followed her through the exit of the restaurant at iniwan na si Kuya Damien sa loob, for sure, susunod na din naman na siya.

This restaurant was just near to our university, hindi kami nagpakalayo dahil may short afternoon classes pa ako, while Ashley don't have. Sabi niya mag iikot ikot nalang siya around the campus, tinapos na kasi lahat ng kailangan nilang gawin sa exam kaninang umaga, medyo na-late din sila ng out. They also have to do plates again pero until by nextweek ang deadline, matagal pa.

We just waited outside the restaurant dahil sa car ni Kuya Damien kami sumakay, we'll just wait for him. May mga students din naman from our university here, treating themselves dahil nakaraos ngayong first semester though may mangilan ngilan paring galing sa kalapit na university.

Lumabas na din naman si Kuya Damien sa restaurant at dire-diretso lang na naglakad, tulad parin ng dati, nagka-diskusyunan nanaman sila ni Ashley dahil ang tagal tagal daw nito lumabas, Kuya Damien said na kukunin niya lang ang sasakyan niya at isasakay kami pabalik sa university. Hindi ko na sila pinansin at naghintay nalang. Literal talaga silang aso at pusa.

Right after a minutes, Kuya Damien stopped his car just infront to where Ashley and I were standing, dali daling pumasok si Ashley sa shotgun seat and I have no choice but to seat at the back.

Just like the usual routine, nagka-ayos na rn ang magkapatid dahil maayos naman na silang nag uusap.

No matter how mad and annoyed they are to each other, magkakabati din sila agad agad. I think that's the perks in siblings, hindi nagtatagal ang awayan. Based on my observations to them.
