Sweetest Rebellion

Chapter 28

Pagkatapos ng mangyari sa parking lot kagabi ay sabay kaming umuwi ni Professor Thomas sa Forbes. She asked me to stay in her place but I refused at baka kinabukasan ay magwala nanaman ang mga kapatid ko kapag wala ako sa bahay.

I can already picture Ate Rue and Ate Rocky collaborating with Ate River to find me wherever I might go. Ayoko ding maulit nanamang madatnan ako doon ni Ali.

"Saan ka nanaman pupunta? Iniwan mo na nga iyong party mo kagabi."

Kasalukuyan akong nag-aayos ng sarili nang pumasok si Ate Ragel sa kuwarto ko. Nakaupo ngayon ito sa kama habang pinagmamasdan ako sa salaming kaharap ko.

"Kakain lang with Abel, Ate." tugon ko sa kapatid

"Abel Tanchengco?" she asked, making me furrow my brows

"You know him?" I asked

"Well, not really him but I know their family. Actually, we know their family." pagtatama niya rin naman sa sarili

"Okay, then, I guess it's safe to go with him. Kakain lang naman, I'll be back before dinner to prepare for the Valle High Night." paalam ko bago siya iniwan sa kuwarto at lumarga na paalis

Wala nanaman ang ibang mga kapatid ko, as usual ay nasa Revmont. Si Ate Ruciane naman ay binisita raw na lote.

"Hera, kapag may nagpunta rito at hinanap ako, pakisabi nalang may pinuntahan with Mr. Tanchengco." bilin ko sa kasambahay

"Sige po, Miss Reagan."

Naupo muna ako sa couch sa living area dahil on the way palang si Abel. Hindi naman iyon magtatagal dahil malapit lang ang Adler Town dito.

Inabala ko muna ang sarili sa facebook at nakita ang tambak na notifications ko roon. Mostly ay mga tagged post from last night's event but sa dagat ng mga likes and comments notifications ay ang friend request approval ang nakakuha ng atensyon ko.

"Oh my god! When did I..." I stared wide eyed at the notification of Professor Thomas accepting my friend request which I don't remember sending at all.

"Miss Reagan, nasa labas na po ang sundo ninyo." sabi ni Hera na nagpabalik saakin sa wisyo

I walked the distance from our living area to where Abel's car is. The windows were rolled down, giving me an immediate sight of him as soon as I walked out the house.

"Hey, pretty lady!" pagkababa niya ay ipinagbukas ako nito ng pinto

"Thanks, man." pagpapasalamat ko bago pumasok na sa loob ng passenger seat

"Where are we heading to?" I asked as soon as he drove off

"I was thinking maybe we can go eat first and then we'll just see after that. Hindi naman tayo magtatagal because there's still an event we need to attend to later tonight." he said smiling while his eyes were fixed on the road

Today is Friday, meaning tonight is the Valle High Night. Abel and I both agreed to go there together with Gia but first, I had to fulfill my promise na babawi ako ng libre sakanya dahil sa ginawa kong pag-iwan sakanila kagabi.

"Wagyu Studio tayo." suhestiyon ko, bigla kasi akong nagcrave

He nodded his head once. "Wagyu Studio it is."

Napagpasiyahan kong hindi na lumayo para hindi na rin masayang ang oras namin sa biyahe. Baka kasi maubos lang sa travel papunta at pauwi ang oras kung sakaling lumayo pa kami.

"Is this an eat all you can date with Thalia Revamonte?" he asked smiling cheekily at me

"Sure, order whatever you can finish. It's all on me." I winked while he shook his head, laughing lightly.
