"Seriously Eunice, why are you pushing us away?" Myca asked.
"Oo nga! Bakit atat na atat kang paalisin kami ng bahay mo? Ha?" Peter added.
I put my hands on my waist.
Please give me patience. Please.
Kailangan ko pong mapa-alis na itong dalawang ito para hindi ko na kailangan pang itago si Red.
"Kasi po kayong dalawa po ay bihis na at naka-ayos na. While look at me! Nakapambahay pa. So, for crying out loud please mauna na kayo sa office."
"Bakit? Pwede naman tayong magsabay ah. Peter can drive us there!"
"Well, no. I want to bring my car. Plus, hindi na ako bata. You can't just drive me around. Paano kayo magkakalovelife kung puro ako yung inaatupag niyo? And besides male-late na po kayo oh." I tried to make a point.
"And kung male-late kami? Hindi ba male-late ka na din?" tanong ni Peter.
"Ugh. 'Di ba nga ang sinabi niyo kahapon ay kaya ako umabsent kasi I'm not feeling well. So it is okay that I'm gonna be late. And besides, for crying out loud again, I am your boss!"
"Ouch ah. Ang sakit ipagtabuyan ah," sabi ni Myca.
"Guys, kailangan niyo na mauna. Make sure that the office ay maayos. Alam niyo naman na kayo lang ang maasahan ko. So please, magbibihis pa ako. Promise bibilisan ko lang. Pupunta na din ako sa office."
The two sighed.
"Okay, sabi mo eh," sabi ni Myca sabay beso sa akin.
"Basta bilisan mo boss ah. We still need to do many reports," Peter said while ruffling my hair.
The two left and walked towards Peter's car. He entered the driver's seat and they waved to me.
"I love you guys!" I called out to them.
That's the least I can do to make up for my lies. Sorry guys. I'll explain everything later.
Peter started his engine and they took off while still waving at me. I waved until the car disappeared from my view.
Phew. Ang hirap mag-act ah. Feeling ko tuloy ang sama sama ko nang kaibigan.
Pumasok ako sa loob to look for Red.
I opened the closet door and found Red sleeping. Nakatulog siya habang nakasandal na naka-upo sa floor.
I kneeled to take a closer look at Red's face.
I should admit that I have a really hot boyfriend. Siguro kung makikita siya ni Myca maglalaway yun. Hayyy. Bakit ba kasi kailangan maging fictional ka pa? Bakit for just 100 days lang? I wanted to run my fingers to his unruly hair. Parang ang lambot at ang shiny kahit mukhang magulo. Matangos din ang ilong niya. Mahaba din yung mga pilik mata niya. Siguro kahit gawin siyang babae magiging maganda pa rin siya. Bakit kahit tulog ang gwapo pa rin niya? He even makes sleeping looks like an art.
I am looking at his sleeping face, smiling.
Then I realized na male-late na pala ako. I've been looking at Red for a minute now.
What am I doing?!
I shook him gently and he stirred from his sleep. He rubbed his eyes and looked at me.
"Umalis na ba sila?" tanong niya.
I nodded. I got up and he got up too.
"Ayusin mo na lang yung pinagkainan natin while I dress up for work."
