"There," Sabi ni kuya Dale matapos ipalupot ang elastic bandage sa binti ko. "Hugasan mo na lang every after 5 hours para sure na 'di maimpeksyon."
"Thank you po," Pagpapasalamat ko habang nakatulala at gulat pa ring nakatingin sa kaniya.
"Saan ka na niyan? Kaya mo ba mag-lakad?" Nag-aalalang tanong niya.
"Opo," Sagot ko. Nagagalaw ko namang ang paa ko. Sa binti lang naman ako may gasgas kaya kayang-kaya naman gumalaw.
"Okay, then." Tumayo siya. He smiled and ruffled my hair a bit before saying something. "Miserably, we only have interactions kapag may naaaksidente," He chuckled.
"Ha-ha! Opo nga, eh!" Opo nga eh, Lord! Hihintayin niyo pa po ba na mag-wsih akong sana may aksidente na lang parati para mag-kita kami?! Joke po! Knock on wood!
"I guess we should see each other everytime so we could avoid meeting by accident," He sudenly said, unintentionally making me shiver.
"P-po?" Ulit na tanong ko. Ano ba?! Dapat mag-kita na kami parati, gano'n?
"You heard me," He chuckled. "You were so competitive awhile ago although I admire you for provoking my batchmates. Play well done, indeed." He added.
"Thank you po!" I widely smiled at him.
I won but it doesn't mean I have to be superior about it. I always wanted to make my opponent feel that they weren't a failure for losing the game. For me, achieving something is enough already. I always want them to think that it's just a friendly competition between us. No biggy!
"Enjoy your win," He said, patting my head in just a way that he's patting a puppy! He looked really tall because he's now standing infront of me while I am sitting. "Adios,"
"A-adios!" Pagpapaalam ko rin with a smile plastered on my face.
Hinila ako ni Nicole at saka ako kinurot sa baywang!
"Ikaw, ah! Nakita ko 'yon! Nakita ko 'yon!" Agap niya, kinikiliti pa ako para patuloy akong asarin! "Sana all!"
"Wala 'to, Nics!" I said, putting some strands of my hair at the back of my ears. "Wala 'to, ako lang 'to!"
"Ang yabang!" Sabi niya sabay sabunot sa buhok ko! "Wala na, masaya ka nanaman! Double win ka 'ata ngayon!"
"Syempre! Crush ko na 'yun, eh!" Mayabang na sabi ko! Talaga! Ipagmamayabang ko talaga 'to! Crush ko na tinulungan akong takpan ang sugat ko, hinead-pat ako, dinala ako sa clinic! Crush ko'ng inadd ako sa facebook!
"Chill ka lang sa pagbibigay ng meaning sa mga gan'yan, baka ma-fall ka't 'di ka saluhin!" She chuckled, stating a fact.
"Hoy hindi kaya!" Pag-tanggi ko agad. "Friendly lang talaga siya, alam ko."
