Chapter 9
Friends
"Maganda ang lupa nila Sister Jowel, Magandang magtayo roon ng malls o market. Sigurado akong maraming bibisita kung sakali" Rinig kong sambit ni Tita.
"Hindi naman papayag si Sister na ibenta ang lupa nila, tsaka saan sila titira kung sakaling ibenta nga nila" Sagot naman ni Tito.
"Bahala sila, basta gusto ko doon"
Tito gave a hearty laugh. "You can't always have what you want, Judie"
"Nakuha nga kita, iba pa kaya"
Halos mapatalon ako ng tinampal ni Julie ang balikat ko. Nilingon ko siya at sinamaan ng tingin.
"Baliw ka ba?" bulong ko habang nakahawak sa dibdib.
"Ikaw ang baliw! why are you peeking?" She asked.
"Pinatawag tayo, hinihintay kita" Pagsisinungaling ko.
I am peeking kasi I'm interested in what they are talking about. Kanina nag uusap sila about sa mga pulis na kaibigan nila, at mga plano nila para masigurado ang panalo ni Tito para sa Election.
Tita Judie always has the craziest ideas. She suggested earlier to make a story about Tito saving a girl from almost getting raped. Hindi gusto ni Tito ang ideyang iyon. What a crazy mind she has.
"Halika ka na" Hinila niya ang braso ko papalapit sa dalawa.
"Oh, Iha! Come sit here" Iminuwestra ni Tito ang magkabilang gilid niya.
Julie and I sit beside Tito. Napapa-gitnaan ng mag asawa ang anak nila, habang ako naman ay nasa gilid lang ni tito at katabi ang hand rest ng sofa.
"We are gonna watch a movie tonight" Sambit ni Tito. "Family bonding tayo"
Nakita ko ang pag ismid ni Tita. I get that she hates having me here. Ako rin naman, hindi gusto makasama rito.
"Ano papanoorin natin?" Tanong ni Julie.
Tita picks a movie to watch habang kami naman ay nakatingin lang sa TV. She chose a horror movie that was quite popular.
Later on, the maids arrive and put the food on our table. Kumuha ako ng popcorn at iyon ang nilantakan.
The movie is scary. Kung mag isa akong nanonood, kanina pa ako umiiyak. Thankfully, I have Tito and Julie with me.
Sa kalagitnaan ng panonood, naramdaman ko ang pag tunog ng aking cellphone. I slowly took my phone from my pocket and opened it to see a message.

Next, Turuan mo naman akong mag mahal:
Good evening!! We have a quiz tomorrow in the afternoon class :) Please, read the notes I wrote in your notebook earlier.
Napangiti ako.
Nakatulog ako kanina habang nag aaral kaming dalawa. When I woke up he told me that he had written some notes in my notebook. He knows how to make me feel kilig.
Now, I know what's real, it doesn't make me guilty anymore.

Okay! Thank u
Nilagyan ko pa iyon ng pink na puso.
Ngumiwi ako ng may naramdamang mainit sa isang binti ko. It's a hand. Hinimas himas ni Tito ang binti ko. He moves his hand back and forth, and every time his palm moves up mas umakyat ang hawak niya.
It feels weird.
Lumunok ako at mas piniling ipagpaliban ang kanyang ginagawa.
"So, Iha. You have a boyfriend?" Bulong niya.

TeenfikceI hated the rain. I hate its sound, it's humid, it's feeling. I feel like the things we can do are limited when it is raining. I hate the people who say they love the rain but open an umbrella when it pours. I hate how the rain makes me feel... lone...
