To My First Love

Chapter 3

The girl earlier was Hiro's girlfriend.

How did I know? Nakita ko kasi siya kanina habang palabas ako ng garden para bigyan ng merienda ang mga kasambahay sa baba. I heard him talking with Hiro at magka boses sila nung babae, at siya lang naman ang babae na pumunta sa party, aside saakin.

Nandito ako ngayon sa kitchen counter kasama ang isang kasambahay na naghuhugas ng pinggan.

"Sol, why don't you join them?"Tito Ben said while getting another bag of Cheetos from the cabinet.

Na ubos na siguro yung nilagay ko kanina. 

"Mamaya na lang po siguro,"I replied.

"Okay, but you already had enough of helping our maids. We invite you here to have fun. You should enjoy the party, Sol."I just smiled and nodded to Tito after he leave.

After a while, Tita Hannah called me upstairs. 

When I was about to follow her, nakasalubong ko yung girlfriend ni Hiro. She looked a bit shocked to see me, probably wondering who the fuck am I, pero nilagpasan ko lang siya at pumunta na sa taas.

After what I witnessed earlier, she doesn't deserve my respect.

Cheating is cheating. No excuses for it. Kung may pagkukulang man ang isang tao sa relasyon niyo, talk it with him. Don't look for your partner's shortcomings in others. 

I just hope Hiro will not turn a blind eye to this. He deserves better.

"Tita, I can't wear that."

She's showing me a two-piece magenta string bikini.

I'm not new two this type of bikini since I've tried wearing it before, but as I grow older my boobs are also getting bigger, so I'm starting to be meticulous with the bikinis I am wearing.

"Just wear it with your shorts. This will look good on you."

Tapos iniwan niya muna ako para mag bihis.

Napapansin ko na talaga na ginagawa niya akong manika.

I just paired the bikini with my white swim shorts.

When I went out sa guest room para sana ipakita kay Tita, sumalubong saakin si Hiro. 

I am sure that I saw him stare at my boob for a split second before looking away.

"Mom made me check the room for my guest."He explained kahit hindi naman ako nag tanong sa kanya.

"Ah, wait. Kunin ko muna ang damit ko."Tumango lang siya without looking at me.

I wore my dress again dahil wala akong dalang towel and immediately went outside.

Pababa ako ng hagdan at nakita kung nasa sofa na ang mga kaibigan ni Hiro.

Required ba na dapat lahat ng kaibigan niya may itsura? At ang tatangkad din lahat.

I don't know what to say to them, and they even just stare at me, not saying anything, so I just look down while going to the pool.  

Tita Hannah must be waiting for me there since iniwan niya ako sa taas.

"Nagkita ba kayo ni Hiro?"Parang excited niya pang tanong.

"Opo, sa taas."

Suspicious.

"I have to go somewhere, do you want me to call Hiro para may kasama ka dito?"Agad akong umiling.

No way.

"Actually, I also like to be alone din po. I have no problem with it."

"No, hindi pwede. I should call him."Tapos pumasok agad siya sa loob.
