Chapter 6
Alright, there doesn't seem to really be any doubt about that. I get it already. He really likes the color red. Halatang-halata naman 'yon sa timeline niya pa lang.
Why am I thinking about it this early in the morning, anyway? Even worse, why would I even give a damn?
He meant that day that he likes red. The color red. No further extensions.
"Hoy, babaita! Nakikinig ka ba?"
I blinked my eyes as I fixed my posture from leaning against my chairʼs backrest. Tumingin ako kay Edo na ngayon ay nakataas na ang kilay sa ʼkin.
"Pardon?" I responded, totally unaware about what she's talking about.
She closed her eyes tightly, as if she was fighting the urge to resist herself from losing her patience.
"Ang sabi ko nasa likod mo si Davin." Walang mababakas na emosyon sa kanyang mukha.
I was taken aback, my heart almost sprang out from its cage because of what she just said as I looked behind me as quickly as I could. Ngunit paglingon ko, tanging glass wall lang ang sumalubong sa tingin ko.
Edorina's laughter exploded around us so I quickly looked at her again, a flush of embarrassment was slowly creeping up in my entire face. Pinanlakihan ko siya ng mata dahil tinatawanan niya na ako.
"Ikaw talaga, Red!" tumatawang aniya, medyo hinahampas-hampas pa ang table namin. "Kung nakita mo lang 'yong hitsura mo no'ng binanggit ko 'yong pangalan ni Davin!"
"Tumigil ka nga. You're drawing their attention. Nakakahiya," I sneered at her with emphasis, but I managed to lower my voice.
Nasa loob kami ng favorite namin na cafe, tapos medyo madami pa ang tao ngayong umaga kaya nakakahiya ang ginagawa ng babaeng 'to!
"Sorry, sorry! Ang cute mo kasi!" she squealed, resisting herself from laughing more. "Masyado yatang occupied ang isip mo dahil kay Davin, e. Grabe ka na!"
"Bwisit ka rin, e. Ano ba 'yong sinasabi mo kanina?" pang-iiba ko ng usapan para tumigil na siya. Mabuti naman at tapos na siyang tumawa.
"Tinatanong kita kung anong ginawa niyo sa klase kahapon. Pero iba na lang, nagbago na ang isip ko." She raised her eyebrows alternately. "Kumusta kayo ni Davin?"
I threw the used table napkin to her. "Huwag ka ngang magsabi ng masasamang salita."
"Sus, pakunwari ka pang bruha ka. E, bakit ka namumula?" she pointed out with a smug look on her face.
Napailing na lang ako. I pretended to take a sip on my coffee through the straw to ease the embarrassment in me. Edorina hasn't recovered yet, enjoy na enjoy siyang asarin ako.
" Hay." She leaned her elbows on the table, her face was against her palms. "Nagdadalaga ka na, I'm so so proud of you."
"Bwisit ka. Tumigil ka nga." Inambahan ko na siyang tutusukin ng straw.
"Okay, okay, enough na!" Pinigilan niya nang tumawa. "Ano nga ang ginawa niyo kahapon?"
"Nag-message ako sa 'yo kagabi, 'di ba? Hindi mo nabasa?" I brought out.
"Tsk, kinuha ni Mommy ang phone ko, e. She didn't allow me to use phone the whole day. Kaninang umaga niya lang binigay ulit," she said, almost whispering.
I slowly nodded. I shouldn't have asked that. I know Edo's parents are really strict, isa 'yon sa kinuwento niya sa akin dati. Pero hindi niya na 'yon dinagdagan pa.
"Pʼwede naman kitang pahiramin ng notes ko," I said, taking the last sip on my coffee.
As soon as I looked at the entrance, I almost spit the coffee out of my mouth when I saw Davinʼs circle of friends, except him.
