Cepheus POV

"Saan ka naman magtutungo after mass?" Tanong ni Ara sa akin habang nakaligkis sa braso ko.

Kasalukuyan kami ngayon nasa labas ng simbahan at kumakain ng Ice Cream habang naghihintay kina Dwayne at Bain na dumating.

Mga hunghang kasi ay malala ang hangover kaya 'yong on the way nila naging on the water pa. Mga nilunod kasi ang sarili sa alak!!

"Dyan lang" simple kong sagot.

"May date ka 'no" sinamaan ko siya ng tingin sabay ngiwi dahil hindi naman totoo iyon. Medyo nandiri pa nga ako.

"Ew, no. Sasamahan ko lang ang kaibigan kong bumili ng kotse. She wants my opinion daw." Pag tanggi ko.

Not that I hate the idea of going out with Miss Ysa, I just don't like dating someone who's old enough to be my sister or aunt or freaking mom.

"Aww, good, bebe. Busog talaga ako sa assurance mo." She scrunched her nose and tapped my cheeks twice before continuing on eating her Ice Cream. Napa-irap nalang ako at nagpatuloy na ring kumain.

I didn't have my car today, so Ara picked me up from home. I'm lucky she didn't see Hyacinth, who just vanished suddenly.

When I woke up this morning, she was already gone, but she did leave me breakfast. It was a nice surprise, especially considering how she just disappeared without a word.

I have to admit, her cooking always has this comforting touch that makes mornings a bit brighter.It's not that I mind where she goes; we're not exactly keeping tabs on each other. But it's unusual because I'm usually the one who gets up early to make breakfast.

There's a rhythm to our routine that I've come to rely on. I wake up first, make the coffee, and whip up something simple for breakfast. She handles dinner, which is usually a much more elaborate affair.

It's become our unspoken agreement.I'm really glad she can cook. It's become our routine for her to make dinner, and I always end up eating a lot.

There's something about the way she prepares food that makes it irresistible. Her dinners are always something to look forward to, a perfect end to the day.

Nang makarating na ang dalawang mokong ay pumasok na kami ng simbahan, doon pa kami sa medyo pahuli umupo at magkakatabi na rin kami para naman hindi maging awkward. Ayaw kasi naming mag hiwalay at baka magkatinginan at tawanan lang sa mga gagawing sulyapan.

Siraulo kasi itong pinsan ko kaya kahit sinong kasama niya ay nahahawaan niya ng kagaguhan niya.

"Huy pre, diba si transfer girlie pop yun!" Siniko ako ni Ara sa chest ko and I winced in pain dahil ang hinaharap ko ang kanyang nasiko.

"Tang-" I bit my lower lip before I could finish my word. Muntik ko ng makalimutan na nasa simbahan kami.

"Ang hilig mong sikuhin ang future ko, 'no!" Sarkastiko kong saad, nilingon naman niya ako saka paulit-ulit na nag sorry. Hinayaan ko nalang at muling ipinatuon ang atensyon niya sa taong tinuturo.
