Its already late but I'm still awake. Sino ba naman kasi ang makakatulog kung ganito ang sitwasyon.
flashback
Pagdating ko hindi ako sure kung dapat ko na bang sabihin kay dad na kami. There's a part of me na nagsasabing wag muna.
"Elliah kamusta yung play?," dad asked the moment I got out from my room "did you enjoyed?"
"yes dad" then I smiled a little. "I'll just wash my face then tulog na ko" nung pabalik na ko sa kwarto ko my dad suddenly spoke
"Elliah bakit parang hindi ka na nililigawan ni Jake?"
"ha?" was all that I can say
"Ano ba yan puro school ang panliligaw? Hindi ko siya makitaan ng effort, kelan huling punta niya dito sa bahay? 3 weeks ago anak," he said in a very serious tone.
"uhm.. Dad okay nam-," he cut me.
"You won't answer him without my go signal Elliah," he said with finality.
All I could do is nod. Pano to? Pano pag nalaman ni Dad? Patay ako for sure!
"on second thought I'll just give him a challenge," napatingin ako kay dad seryosong seryoso siya 'uh oh this is bad' "Kailangan pumunta siya dito sa bahay -hep" he raised his index finger when I was about to talk "pupunta siya dito 30 times,"
I think my eyes were already out of their sockets sa sobrang gulat ko "dad are you-" he cut me......again
"Im serious and Im not yet finish," what? There's more?! "on his 30th day.......... kailangan ka niyang... haranahin"
"HARANAHIN?" I shouted.

***************
3 days have passed since that night. Parehas pa kaming nag aadjust ni Jacob sa aming "relationship status" at ngayon ko pa lang balak sabihin sa kanya yung challenge ni Dad. Tinext ko siya kanina at sinabing sabay kami mag lunch sa canteen.
Paglabas ko ng room tanaw ko kaagad na andun na siya. "Jake" I tapped his shoulder
"El tara kain na tayo" sabi niya sabay tayo pero nagsalita ako agad
"gutom ka ba? Mamaya na, mag usap muna tayo, tungkol to kay dad" the moment I said that umupo siya agad
"nasabi mo na? Oo nga pala!" I looked at my hands na nakapatong sa table
"You haven't told him yet?" I nodded. "oh edi ak-" I cut him off
"He has a challenge for you," he looked amazed "hindi daw kita pwede sagutin hangga't hindi mo to nagagawa" his face fell.
Alam ko na, kahit sino naman e. Kung ako sa kalagayan ni Jake malamang magagalit ako, sinagot na ko e tas biglang ganto? Ano na kasunod nito break up?
"What's his challenge?" he said without looking at me.
"kailangan mo daw pumunta sa bahay ng 30 times," he suddenly looked at me "but! On the 30th kailangan kang mag perform" I decided to tease him, ewan sudden mood swing ako e.
"Perform what?" he said still serious habang ako napapangiti na.
"wala. Wag mo na intindihin yun," then I turned serious "you know what if you ca-"
"I'll do it," he said "30 times? Okay aaraw arawin ko ang punta sainyo"
Ano daw? Gagawin niya? GAGAWIN NIYA! My God ang swerte ko ba? Ay teka! Yung harana hindi ko pa nasasabi!
"So haharanahin mo ko sa 30th day?" I asked him sheepishly
He face palmed pero nakita ko siyang nangingiti "I'll do it," he said habang nakatakip pa din yung mata niya ng isang kamay niya "If that's what your dad wants just for me to get you -even though I already got you. I'll do it" he looked straight at me "that's how I want you...... Thats how I love You... I'll do everything"
At that moment I want to hug him pero hindi ko magawa kasi para akong nabato dun sa sinabe niya. Kung ibang lalaki yan hahayaan niya na yung sinabe ni Dad kasi "girlfriend" naman na niya ako pero NO. Gagawin ni Jake. Holy Freckless! Kinikilig ako!!
