"WHAT MADE YOU COOK THIS MORNING?"
Si Adyllena ang bumungad sa pandinig ko while I'm cooking our breakfast.
"Who pa ba ang magluluto? We don't have maids!"
Nginiwian ko siya at bumalik ako sa pagluluto. It's just simple fried rice, omelette, spam, eggs and hotdogs. So I can manage this.
"Sa tingin mo magiging okay na sa school today?"
I sighed.
"Maybe,"
"Kamusta na kaya sila,"
Napatingin ako sakanya at naalala kong kakausapin ko nga pala si Dale about sa pag visit namin sa mother niya before we get busy... kaso lang paano ko kaya 'yon masasabi sakanya without our friends eavesdropping? Hmmm!
Naalala ko nanaman 'yong kinang sa mata niya when we visited his mom, that shine in his eyes must be from sadness or unshed tears or maybe something else only Dale can tell, however, I like the Dale I used to talk in school because ang sad ng aura niya when we went to his mom but of course it's understandable since his mom is living there.
I smiled! I wanna meet her.
"Required ba talagang ngumiti sa pagpiprito ng hotdog?"
Napakurap-kurap ako kay Ady na natatawa na sa harap ko. OMG.
"I just remembered something, Ady!" Depensa ko.
"Ano naman ang naalala mo sa pagprito ng hotdog?"
"Not the frying of hotdog!"
Natawa nalang kami pareho. Bakit naman kasi sa hotdog pa napatapat! It's so awkward hahaha
"Tuloy na ang practice natin mamaya,"
"Yes, good thing na nandoon na 'yong mga gamit ko."
Buti nalang talaga ay nasa locker na ng Modeling HQ ang mga gagamitin ko. Wala ng hussle sa pagdadala.
"Do you think Dale likes you?"
Nilingon ko si Ady na busy sa pagkain.
"No,"
"Really?"
"Yup."
"Then, do you think he will like you?"
"Ady!"
I snap my fingers at natatawang tinuro ang face ko.
"Sa ganda kong 'to, Of course!"
Puno ng yabang kong dagdag at nagtawanan kami.
"Do you like him?"
"No, I don't."
"Then, do you like Sean?"
Ang kaninang ngiti ko ay napalitan ng ngiwi. Naalala ko kasi 'yong scene kahapon. There's this weird feeling na gusto ko sa'kin niya sabihin 'yon but I don't feel envious of my cousin.
"They say, silence means yes,"
Napatingin ulit ako sakanya.
"Not every silence means yes, Ady."
"But sometimes it is applicable to those who are in denial,"
She smiled at me.
"No, no, I was not in denial." Tanggi ko.
Tumawa si Adyllenang loka kaya napairap ako.
"I didn't say you were in denial, Florene."
Shooot!
