Venomous of Love

01

I'm here at my room. Ariela texted me earlier, she wants to meet me so I'm here lying in my bed thinking about on how do I escape. Mom is in the kitchen probably, it's her favorite place in this house duh. My dad...well, I'm sure nasa work na naman s'ya so he's not a problem anymore.

May isa pa akong inaalala dito dahil sigurado na kapag nakita n'ya akong tatakas ay sasabihin n'ya agad kay mommy tsk that brat is getting into my nerve.

Bumangon ako saka lumapit sa pinto at dahan dahan iyong binuksan. Sinilip ko ang hallway bago ang pinto ng kwarto ng kapatid ko. Sana tulog s'ya or ginagawa ang schoolwork n'ya. Ayaw n'yang iniistorbo s'ya kapag nagaaral kaya for sure hindi ako nun iintindihin.

Anyway, ligo na nga pala ako kanina pa. I'm excited kasi!

Dahan dahan akong lumabas at naglakad sa hallway. Ligtas akong nakababa ng hagdan, no one saw me kaya dali dali akong naglakad papunta sa may front door at binuksan iyon dahan dahan. Tumakbo ako agad palabas para wala nang makakita sa akin.

I called Ariela nang makalabas na ako ng tuluyan sa village.

"Hey!! where are you na?!" bungad n'ya.

Medyo hingal pa ako sa pagtakbo kaya hindi agad ako nakasagot.

"I successfully escaped Ariela!" excited kong sagot.

"Omg! see you at the mall nalang!" aniya.

Hindi na ako sumagot dahil may tumigil ng taxi. I took the small mirror from the bag and checked if I looked okay. So far maganda parin ako. When I arrived at the mall, I immediately paid the driver and went inside. I looked for our meeting location right away and found it.

"Azalea! how are you?!" she greeted me.

I smiled more.

Niyakap ko s'ya saglit bago kami naupo.

"I'm doing fine! how 'bout you?!"

"Still pretty as usual!" mas maganda ako beh.

I chuckled.

"You  know what ariela? I just met a handsome boy outside bago aq pumunta dito!" I said starting a topic.

"Oh! Dapat pinakita mo din sakin!" parang nagtatampo na saad n'ya.

"Well he's freaking hot!" pagyayabang ko pa. Well it was just my imagination. Handsome and hot? walang ganun sa earth.

"So how's your day girl? It's been a week i think?" she asked.

"Ugh ! Kung alam mo lang ariela mom and dad is so strict!" nakakainis!

"Oh is that so? Haha buti na nga lang pinapayagan ako nina mommy and daddy e.. I think tito and tita is just over protective to you" nakakainggit naman s'ya samantalang ako bawat galaw dapat alam nina dad.

"Protective? Like hell ariela?! I'm a teen now?! Hello?" they're still treating me like a preschooler.

Ariela laughed.

"Alam mo bang kung di ako nagpaalam na lalabas lang saglet ay di kita makikita ngayon?" kahit hindi naman talaga ako nagpaalam.

"Well i know you have your ways naman" s'ya saka sumipsip sa straw ng milktea n'ya.
