[Chapter 9] Good Boy Gone Bad

I want to bug him to answer the question. Pero parang yun lang yung isasagot niya. Ayaw ko namang asarin pa lalo na't pagod at inaantok. Who knows what might happen?

I kept on asking him where were going but as usual, he kept his mouth shut. That's the reason as to why I don't really like to hang out with good guys. Masyado silang tahimik at when they're protecting something or someone, talagang hindi sila magsasalita.

And Wren's one of them.

We suddenly stopped in front of a old house. Medyo malaki ito pero parang may pagkahaunted.

He turned off the car. That's when I heard the sound of creepy insects outside. Nasan na ba kasi kami?

He opened his door then stepped outside. I looked at him dumbly. Agad siyang umikot sa sasakyan then opened the door for me.

He smiled. Sweetly. Too sweetly...

"Where are we?" I asked looking everywhere but him. "Anong ginagawa natin dito? What are you planning?"

He grinned. "Bakit? Porket dinala kita dito, may plano na? Di pa pwedeng pinapasyal ko lang yung aking preso?"

"Hindi ako preso!" I snapped.

"Whatever."

The gate of the house opened and an old woman--almost as if she's in her seventies, greeted us.

She was wearing a bestida and slippers. Although her hair was soaked in gray strands of hair, hindi nun natatakpan ang kagandahan niya. She might be very pretty nung kabataan niya.

She wrapped her arms around Wren then kissed his cheeks. Nang kumalas silang dalawa sa hug, she turned to face me.

She scanned me from head to toe.

"Who is this lovely lady?" she asked.

Wren took a step backward then wrapped his arm on my waist. I looked at him in shock and disgust.

He smiled at the old woman.

"This is Rachel," he said. "My girlfriend."

My eyes widen in shock. How dare he? Wala pa nga kaming isang taong magkakilala e! Hinding hindi ako makikipag relasyon sa isang taong di ko kilala. Para ko nang sinugo yung sarili ko sa isang demonyo.

And kung makikipagrelasyon man ako sa isang taong di ko kilala, I will make sure that it's not to the person who made my ears, eyes and my whole body fume.

I want to slap his arm away from me but I saw the hidden glee on the old lady's eyes. I don't want to break it just like that.

"Oh! Is that so?" she said. "I'm Lola Prescilla. I'm Wren Andrei's grandma." Inilapag niya ang kamay niya sa ere. I accepted it gladly.

She opened the gate widely for us to enter. "Pumasok na kayo. Baka dapuan kayo ng sipon kakayayo d'yan e. Ang lamig pa naman."

Parang isang normal na bahay lang yung pinasukan namin. The walls are full of family photos. Especially photos of people wearing togas who I don't know.

Lola Prescilla sound so jolly when Wren acknowledge me as his girlfriend. Mukhang sobrang good boy ni Wren ah? Hindi ata nagpapakilala ng mga girlfriend niya sa pamilya niya.

"Akyat muna ako baby," he said. He's grinning like an idiot. "Magpapahinga muna ako," he kissed my hair then turned to his Lola. "Lola, don't interrogate her so much. Baka mapagod si Rach at iwan ako n'yan bigla."

Lola Prescilla chuckled softly. "No, apo. Aakyatan na lang kita ng pagkain sa taas ah?"

He smiled. He slowly retreated. Leche siya! Paano kung magtanong itong Lola niya tungkol sa'min? Anong sasagutin ko?!
