I parked my car right in front of the enormous two-story beach house. Before I could even head out, I heard my phone ring from my purse. When I saw his name light up my screen, my spirit perked up in an instant. Pakiramdam ko'y naglaho agad ang lahat ng pagod ko.
I answered his call, the sound of my car's engine still brimming in the air.
"I just got to the beach house," I informed him, grinning from ear to ear. "Saan ka na?"
"Still stuck at traffic." Cyprus heaved a huge sigh from the other line. "Gutom na gutom na ako."
I snickered as I craned my neck to the beach house's direction. "You better hurry, marami-rami nang tao sa loob. Baka maubusan ka ng food."
"Ako mauubusan? Kailan mo ba ako pinabayaan?" He chuckled, arrogance dripping in his voice. "Binyag ni Ned. Inutusan ako ng mommy mo kaya hindi ako agad nakabalik sa handaan. Imbes na magtabi ng pagkain para sa akin, tinago mo talaga 'yong buong lalagyan ng spaghetti at mga chicken lollipop. Muntik tuloy mag-away ang mga kaibigan ng kuya mo kasi nagbintangan sila kung sino ang umubos."
Hindi ko napigilang matawa sa mga alaalang bumaha sa isip ko. "Pati si Argentina, pinagbintangan nina Kuya! Muntik pa silang mag-away sa harapan ng pari!"
He let out a little grunt as his laugh subsided. "Talking about food just made me even hungrier."
"Save you some lechon and desert?" I bit my lips to suppress my laughter. "I can hear Kuya Riley's laugh from here. Knowing him, for sure may dala siyang carbonara. Baby, let me tell you, Kuya Riley's carbonara is divine! You have to try it!"
"Some, not all. Mamaya mag-away na naman ang mga kaibigan ng kuya mo," aniya kaya pabiro akong sumaludo kahit alam kong hindi niya naman ako makikita.
"Consider it done, Cyprus San Carlos."
"Sino na pala ang nandiyan?" he asked.
I craned my neck again, this time narrowing my eyes to get a better look through the enormous windows. "Hard to tell since I'm still inside the car, but I think I can see Ate Piper and Kuya Apollo? I think I can see Kuya Warren's million-dollar smile too!"
"Million-dollar smile." Cyprus scoffed from the other line.
"Favorite ko pa rin naman sa 'yo," I assured him.
I heard him laugh from the other line and my heart instantly fluttered. As always.
"Umaambon na rito. Pumasok ka na sa beach house, mamaya maabutan ka diyan ng ulan sa labas," aniya pa.
