I spent too much time setting up my social media profile. For today, Mama and her husband were inside the study. Tahimik ang buong mansyon at tanging ako lang ang nasa malaking living room.
Mama and the maids bought a lot of groceries for the approaching Christmas. Kahit ang labas ng mansyon ay puno ng christmas lights at iilan pang dekorasyon.
Reina texted me a while ago, asking for my socials. I had one, but I forgot about it, so here I am, making a new one. It's much better. Some of my mutual friends in my old account are now strangers to me, and I have no plans to reconnect with them.
"Profile picture..." basa ko sa nakasulat sa screen.
I should put my face on, right?
Kinagat ko ang aking labi at pinindot ang camera icon. Saglit kong inayos ang maalon at nakalugay kong buhok. I'm wearing a blue, modest dress today. This is fine. Tinapat ko ang phone sa'king mukha at kumuha ng tatlong litrato, hindi nakangiti.
I pouted a little when I swiped the three pictures. The right lighting brought out the sparkle in my dark blue eyes. It has a good background, too.
"This is fine." I picked the second one and selected it as my profile picture.
"What are you doing?"
I didn't have to exert any effort. Kuya Angelus took over the spot next to me right away. I leered at him. His brows were knotted as he looked at the screen of my phone.
"You made a social media account?"
"Yes. Masama ba?" I fired and searched for Reina's name.
Inayos ko ang settings ng aking account at ginawang private iyon. Kung dati, public ang lahat nang nakalagay sa social media ko, ngayon, gusto kong pribado na ang lahat.
"You should add me as your friend," Kuya Angelus muttered.
"I don't need a parasite in my account." I made a face.
He chuckled, and I gasped when he snatched my phone. I glared at him. He looks so calm as he maneuvers my phone like it's his. He searched for his name and added it to his account. I heard a notification sound.
"I'll unfriend you," I murmured.
"Try it." May hamon sa kaniyang boses at hinugot ang phone niya mula sa bulsa ng suot niyang jeans.
Umirap ako nang i-accept niya ako. I took my phone from him and scowled when his tagged photos were the first things I saw on my newsfeed. Marami iyon at nasa loob sila ng mukhang bar.
"Is there a bar in this city?" I asked while looking at the screen of my phone—at his photos, to be specific.
"Hmm... yeah, but those photos weren't taken here."
Kunot-noo ko siyang binalingan. "These were taken in another city, then? Manila? Makati?"
He smiled, gazing at me. "Are you finally curious about me?" the teasing in his tone was palpable.
