" Yesterday was Valentine's day."
My friend, Zenma, is in the line as she  makes a tone of excitement.

"Well, may mga nag-confess sa akin sa cellphone and I response thank you. Mas importante ang higaan ko noh!" I reply while rolling in my blanket that causes me to look like an omelette.

"Ah sus, wag ako Francine ayaw mo lang na mawalan ka ng time sa akin" I gave a sly smile while looking at my phone and  place it once again into my ears.

"Joke lang. Pero sis share ko lang ha, nag confess ako kay Daniel kahapon, like tinawagan ko siya girl! Grabe yung sweat ko, ang basa nga ng armpits ko eh. At shutek mutual yung feelings namin pwede na akong mag tambling" kilig niyang wika.

"So,ano plano mo?"

"Wala, nag confess lang, flex ko lang hihi"humalakhak pa siya ng napakalakas sa kabilang linya.

"Punta ka sa amin, mag dala ka ng ice cream" anyaya ko sa kanya pero nag suggest din akong magdala siya ng ice cream ang init ng Pinas eh.

"Ang kapal mo" nagtawanan pa kaming dalawa

"Cine, bakit hindi pa hinuhugasan ang plato?!" My brother shouted from the kitchen area.

"Darating dito yung crush mo!" He added and that cause me to stand up directly.

"Hala oi! Ba't hindi mo sinabi agad sa akin, ano ba yang utak mo." agaran kung hiniwalayan ang blanket at tumakbo papuntang kusina.

"Anong sabi mo?!"

"Secret baka e my day mo hihi" Hindi naman kase kalayoan, maliit lang ang bahay namin. If there's a lot of people in our house it'll be crowded that you can go outside to inhale some fresh air.

For example, fiesta. Hindi na nga ako nag iinvite sa mga kaibigan ko dahil sa dami ng mga kamag anak namin.

" Bumili ka ng downy kila Aling Bebe, mag mop ka kuya at ako na bahala sa kusina. Ambaho na ng bahay!" I protest.

"Wow ngayon mo lang na amoy, kung hindi ko sinabing darating dito si Cedric ay okay lang ganito amoy ng bahay, tsk tsk." he laughed, somehow I am annoyed by how he laughed. It's either mapang-insulto or kuya just want to make fun out of me.

I openly rolled my eyes so he could notice how annoyed  I am because of him.

"Maglilinis din naman ako dahil darating si Zenma." After I  release my words kuya immediately turn at me and he exhibit a smile.

"Magdadala siya ng vanilla ice cream?" His index finger circling in his cheek, it's obvious that he fantasize him  and Zenma laughing together while kuya feed Zenma the ice cream.

I inhale slowly and violently exhaled " Opo, kaya bilis na." He runs fast and buys the things I've mentioned earlier while right now I'm looking at the plates.

Mabilis ko itong hinugasan with care, I used Dazz lemon scent dishwashing paste I really like the sponge in this product 'because it's comfortable. I even pick those used clothes  na nasa ibat ibang sulok ng bahay, I swept the floor and remove the spider web that I saw.

"Ate can I help you?" Claude, my youngest sibling  who is 6 years old, offers to help me with his sparkling eyes.

"No bunso, kaya si ate at kuya to. Your ate Zenma will come here with ice cream, go ang choose your mug hihi" he nodded.

As  I finish swiping the entire house floor, Kuya immediately starts mopping it. Kuya bought the Downy premium parfum. The product features long-lasting fragrance, softening and concentration.

" I'm here!" A familiar voice rang in my ears, it is Zenma!

"Zenma!" We hug each other and slap hardly our butt. It's our signature for our friendship.
