WHERE THE BOUTS STARTS
Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na sa loob ng mahigit seven months ay hindi ko pa namemeet o nakita man lang ang parents ni Elle. Ang unfair lang kasi close na siya sa pamilya ko when infact, even her mother and father's name ay hindi ko alam. Kapag usapang pamilya, she seem so distant and automatically divert the topic once you asks her.
"They're always busy" when i asks her if her parents are at their house.
"They're out of town. I don't know when will they're coming back" when i said i want to meet her parents.
"My parents are strict," when i asks her when will i gonna meet her parents, kahit ipakilala niya lang ako bilang kaibigan.
When I asks the three whether they meet her parents, they immediately shut their mouth, seems like afraid that they might say something inappropriate which makes me doubt what's really Elle's relationship towards her parents.
But how. Whenever I asks her, she dodge my questions like as if she's part of an arcade game and the only way to win is to dodge the attack of her opponent in order not to hurt herself.
But since she always says the same, I refrain from asking her.Nakakapagod kasi na sa bawat pagtatanong ko, wala akong makuhang maayos na kasagutan.
Nasa working stations kami ngayon. Katabi ko sa isang table si Reena which is busy sa pagka cut ng karton na idadagdag para sa design ng house na ib-built namin. Ang plano namin ay gagawin muna ang designs bago ang mismong bahay para hindi magaya ng iba yung gawa namin. Isa kasi sa rubrics ay dapat may originality ang gawa mo.
I gazed Elle which is in the other side of the room, malapit sa pintuan, and doing the column of the house kasama ang partner niya.
Ilang beses ko rin siyang nahuling tumatawa kasama partner niya dahil siguro sa glue gun na pumapaso sa kanila. I am happy seeing her having a great time so I mind my business too, with Reena.Nagpa alam na ako kay Elle after mag uwian dahil sasabay sakin si Reena. Napagdesisyunan namin na sa bahay nalang gagawa dahil mas maluwang doon lalo na kung sa basement kami gagawa.
"Oh El–" Hindi naituloy ni Mommy ang sasabihin ng makitang ibang mukha ang sumalubong sa kanya.
Nagmano ako sa kanya. "Mom, she's Reena. The one i'm telling you last night"
Ngumiti naman si Reena. "Hello po, tita" medyo nahihiyang sambit niya. Agad naman siyang inilalayan ni Mommy papasok ng bahay. Nakuwento ko kasi sa kanya kagabi kung paano hindi nagkakalayo ang interes namin sa art.
"Just stay in the living room muna, I'm gonna prepare you snacks" Mommy said while making her way to the kitchen.
"Your mom's nice" Reena commented. "She really is" I soon added. Nagpa alam lang ako saglit para magpalit ng damit at bumaba rin kaagad dahil kabilin bilinan niyang wag ko siyang iiwan ng matagal o mag isa kasi nahihiya siya.
When i go downstairs, i noticed na nandoon na pala si mommy at kasalukuyang kinakausap si Reena, no, iniinterview.
"This one po tita is my entry in the painting contest i have participated" hindi ko alam na napatagal pala ang pagpapalit ko dahil mukhang andami na nilang napag usapan.
"Ehem" I made my way to the single sofa because the love seat is being occupied by them. Kumuha muna ako ng cookies and drink my juice.
"wow nagpalit lang ako close na kayo" sabi ko habang ngumunguya.
Ngumiti sila pareho. "Hindi naman mahirap pakisamahan si reena, I suddenly like her !" mama exclaimed which makes me and reena surprised.
"So ipagpapalit mo na naman ako?" sabi ko habang nagp-pout. Parang ang gawi e ako na ang third child, si elle ang first, reena is second. Kung ganito lang din pala na sa tuwing nagdadala ako ng tao dito sa bahay e nagiging close nila kaagad, edi hindi na ako magdadala. i laughed at the thought.
