First Love Of May

22

"Palabasin mo 'yang babae na 'yan dito mom!"

Ang saya na nakakubli sa mukha ng mommy niya ay unti-unting napalitan ng inis at pagkagulat. Ang tingin ko ay nasa babae pa din na sobrang angas kong umasta. She was looking at Zyle from head to foot. Nailang tuloy ako dahil sa suot kong di bagay kay Zyle.

"You can't just do t-"

"This is my house. Bahay ko 'to! I can do whatever I want!" halos pumutok na ang ugat nito sa leeg.

Nanlaki ang mga mata nito. "And now, you're even shouting at your own mother!"

Napahinga ng malalim si Zyle at mahigpit akong hinawakan. It was like my presence was calming him, he was gaining peace from me.

"Zyle..." I was warning him not to shout at his mom.

Tumingin ito sa akin na parang nagsisisi sa ginawa at didinggin lahat ng sasabihin ko sa kaniya.

He sighed. "Okay, I'm sorry mom. Just get her out here. I don't have anything to do with her."

Napatingin ako sa babae na ngayon ay nakangisi na habang nakataas ang kilay.

"Oh really? Bakit? Ayaw mo na akong makita kasi may bago ka ng babae?" she said with a smirk.

Hindi ko alam pero may kumirot na kaonti sa puso ko, natatakot na sa susunod nilang diskasyon.

"She's my girlfriend Mika." malamig nitong wika.

"Oh! So I've also been your girlfriend then! We went one time to a date-"

"No. Where the hell did you get that? You? Girlfriend ko? And the date? It wasn't, it was just an accidentally meet up." he sarcastically laughed. "I would barely choose to die than to be your boyfriend."

"Zyle!" suway ng mommy niya.

"And for your information, you know that I do not do girls. It's cheap." he said before pulling me away from them.

Tahimik ko silang nilingon habang umaakyat ulit sa hagdanan. Mika look so furios, she even suppressed her lips hardly and blowed. Ang mommy naman ni Zyle ay tila'y problemado dahil sa inasal ng anak.

Padabog na sinara ni Zyle ang pinto at hinila ako papunta kama. He made me lie down in bed and rested his face on my shoulder.

Sino ba kasi 'yung babae na 'yon? She looks sick and all. Tsaka anong ginagawa niya dito? May kailangan ba siya kay Zyle? But Zyle looks like he doesn't want to see her. Naiirita pa nga ito pero ayokong makapamante! Knowing that the girl has all, may yaman, mukha but well... pangit nga lang ang ugali.

"She's the Senator's daughter," he started. "Anak siya ng tatakbong VP, she just assumes a lot that we were in a relationship back then."

"Hindi ba?" Tanong ko.

Inangat nito ang mukha. "No! Hindi ko nga siya napapansin kung hindi lang sasabihin ng tatay niya."

"Pero may gusto siya sayo...." I trailed off.

"E hindi ko naman siya gusto. Ikaw 'yung mahal ko." he whispered and embrace me.

I messed up his hair and secretly smiled due to his clinginess again.

"Saan ba siya galing? Mukhang kadarating dito sa Pilipinas."

"Don't ask me that. I don't know her and I don't have any plans in knowing her." suplado niyang ani.
