Thirty-four
Pagkarating namin sa parking lot at pagkapasok namin sa kotse ay agad na akong binatukan ni Jess.
"What the hell, Kent! What was that? Bakit hindi mo sinabing magpinsan tayo. Yuck ka talaga kahit kailan!" Nagsisisigaw na naman sya. Saan ba nagmana tong babaeng to! Parehas namang tahimik si tito at tita.
"Look, I need your help Jess." Sabi ko pero sumigaw na naman nya.
"What the! Help? So kasali ba jan sa help na yan ang pagsabing special friend ako!? Gago ka ba?" At pinagsasapak na naman nya ako.
"There's this girl that I like and I saw jealousy written all over her face when she saw you. Can you help me?" I asked.
"What will I do? Pretend that I like you. Hell! No way!" Sigaw nya sa akin.
"No! Of course not! Just don't tell them that we're cousins. Lei won't tell them the truth. Please, couz. Kailangan lang nating pagselosin si Denice." Halos magmakaawa na ako sa kanya but knowing Jessica, she'll demand for a payment.
"Okay. But, you have to let me borrow this car until my dad buys me one and you have to help convince him." What? Car? No way!
"Where the hell's your car?" I asked.
"Well, naumay na ako dun and I like your car. So, is it a deal?" Tinaasan pa nya ako ng kilay.
Damn, girl. Kung hindi ko lang kailangan ang tulong nya.
"Fine." Walang kagana gana kong sagot.
Pagkarating namin sa bahay ay nakita agad sya ni mommy kaya nagkwentuhan sila.
Jess is my only cousin in my father's side. Nag-iisang kapatid ni papa si tita. Jessica is not a Mendoza, she's a Kwon. He's father is a Korean. Imported ang pinsan ko.
She stayed in Korea for five years at ngayon lang ulit sya nagbakasyon. Sigurado akong magkakasundo sila ni Denice dahil mahilig din sa mga baklang Koreano yung babaeng yun.
Nung maghapon na ay hinatid ko si Jess sa kanila.
"Hey cous. Gusto mong sumama samin sa Thursday?" I asked her.
"Eodiseo?" She asked. Okay, I didn't understand it.
"What?" I asked her.
"Where? Psh -.-"Aba't alam na nga kasing hindi ako marunong eh.
"Cagayan." Simpleng sagot ko.
"Omg! I heard from one of my friends that it's nice there. I'll ask mom later." At mukhan excited na nga sya. Mas matanda ng isang taon sa akin to pero mas isip bata pa. Psh!
Pagkahatid ko sa kanya, umuwi din ako agad at nagtext naman si Jess na sasama sya. Yes!
Hahayaan kong magselos si Denice hanggang sa sya na mismo yung bumalik sakin.
