The Truth Is Not True

Chapter 33 - Tantrums

Jhoanna's POV:

I woke up early from the beaming light of the window. Hindi man kasikatan ngunit sakto lang para magising ako nito.

It is currently 7 o'clock in the morning. Tiningnan ko ang aking katabi at mahimbing itong natutulog kaya dahan-dahan akong gumalaw para makaalis ng higaan.

Since I woke up early, I decided to go down when I successfully left the bed without waking her up. I grabbed the book I am currently reading and continue it, laying down on the sofa.

The other night I was drunk and yesterday, I couldn't even stand without me getting dizzy. I just spent the whole day resting and almost sleeping kaya maaga akong nagising ngayon.

After half an hour, I almost had five pages to read, but I was stopped by a person who suddenly made her way between me and my book. So basically, humiga siya paharap sa akin. Kainis.

“Nicolette, ang aga-aga nambbwiset ka na. Do'n ka sa single chair umupo!” Utos ko rito habang tinutulak ang kaliwang balikat niya, ngunit tila wala itong naririnig.

Colet: “Hmmm...Babu's softer than the sofa.” She said in her morning voice and even hugged me tighter.

“Stop being maharot, Vergara. Just so you know, I'm reading a book here.”

Colet: “Just don't mind me, Jho. I will not bother you naman eh.”

“You're already bothering me, idiot. Ang bigat mo kaya!” I lied just to get her off of me.

Colet: "I want cuddles, Babu. Just let me and I'll let you read your book." I couldn't resist her affectionate request, so I allowed her to cuddle with me. She nestled against my chest, using it as her pillow while hugging me tightly. To stay comfortable, I rested my elbows on top of her shoulders to avoid straining myself.

Colet: “Are you reading about business stuff again?”

“Nope, I'm reading a novel. And I really want this novel kaya don't be so kulit.”

Colet: “So you are a bookworm pala?”

“Yeah. Palibhasa ang alam mo lang tungkol sa akin is laging mataray, nangsisisante ng trabahador, at trabaho lang ang alam.”

Colet: “Ehh? You sound like you're making tampo HAHAHA”

“Bakit? Am I wrong to state the fact? You always confidently say that to my face kaya.” I said and rolled my eyes.

Colet: “That's what I thought about you before HAHHAHA. I am just being honest here, Ms. Robles.” She said and even laugh kaya mahina kong hinampas ito ng hawak kong libro.

“Hmm! Napakamapang-asar mo.”

Colet: “Oh, see? You're also abusive, Babu. Human abuse ka po, alam mo bang may kaso 'yan?” Pagbibiro nito.

“Ahhh kaso pala ha. Sige, umalis ka dito. Doon ka sa kabilang sofa.” I said and pushed her hard but the later just hugged me tighter and even made herself heavier.

Colet: “HAHAHA Charot lang! Ang bilis mo mainis noh? Alam mo bang nakakatanda at nakakapanget ang laging magkasalubong ang kilay?”

“Tss. Dami mong sinasabi. Pangit naman talaga ako.”

Colet: “No you're not.” She said and raised her head from my chest para makaharap niya ako.

Colet: “You're gorgeous, Babu."
