HOUSEMATES|Mikhaiah: 8 Series #1

🦂22

Nagsimula nanaman magtalo yung dalawa pero sa huli ay agad silang natahimik nung pumasok sa eksena si Ate Cali at pagalit silang sinita. Takot din naman pala kay Ate Cali e.

Ilang saglit pa ay bumalik na muli sa normal na atmospira ang paligid, nag aasaran na ulit sina Jhoy at Lindsey pero biruan na lamang iyon kaya’t hinayaan na lamang namin.

Napangiti na lamang ako dahil hindi ko akalain na dadating ako sa gantong sitwasyon kung saan ay may mga taong nagkakagulo at maiingay sa harap ko ng hindi ako nagkakapanic attack or anxiety attack, imbis ay kalmado lamang ako at tila naeenjoy pa ang presensya nila. Naninibago rin ako dahil ito ang unang pagkakataon na naging komportable ako sa mga tao kahit na kakakilala ko lamang sa kanila. Sobrang gaan ng pakiramdam ko sa kanila na parang nasa mga tamang tao ako ngayon. Bukod kay Lindsey na pinsan at kababata ko ay komportable din ako kay Jhoy at Yves kahit na sobrang OA at gulo ng mga ito. Si Solene at Gaia naman ay sobrang clingy sa pagiging malambing pero naeenjoy ko dahil pakiramdam ko ay mga nakababatang kapatid ko sila. Iba din ang comfort na ibinibigay ng presensya nina McZinn at  Ate Cali saken, ito yung parang sobrang safe ako pag kasama ko sila.

Kahit walang bumabanggit, pakiramdam ko… we just made and entered a circle of friends, the real and sincere one, I guess.

“Ash!” Agad akong napabalik sa reyalidad ng marinig ang napakalakas na boses ng pinsan ko.

Humarap ako sa kanya at walang imik na iniintay ang sasabihin niya.

“Grabe, saang universe ka na nakarating at ngiting ngiti ka d'yan kahit wala namang dapat ngitian?” Sabat ni Jhoy habang kumakain ng sandwich.

“Cute n'yo kasi.” Simpleng aniko na ikinangiwi ni Lindsey. Natawa naman si Jhoy at Solene.

“Nagsasabunutan na nga kanina, tuwang tuwa ka pa?” Natatawang tanong ni Ate Cali habang inaabutan ako ng sandwich. Ngumiti na lang ako at agad tinanggap ang binibigay nito. Tahimik ko itong kinain pero makalipas ang ilang minuto ay natigilan ako ng naramdaman ang malambot na bagay sa gilid ng labi ko. Si Ate Cali pala, binunasan nya ng tissue ang gilid ng lips ko.

“Ang kalat mo kumain.” Nakangiting anito na ginantihan ko din ng matamis na ngiti tulad ng sa kanya.

“Kadire pala si Cal pag soft spoken.” Ani Jhoy na ikinasama ng tingin ni Ate Cali, na tinawan ko lamang ng bahagya.

McZinn's POV
I was about to enter the living room but I suddenly froze halfway. I can feel my expression change with the sudden scene Infront of me. I hear and saw what Calista did to Ashianna and it makes me felt odd. I have never seen Calista act this way. She's always serious and prepare to act mature when she's with us, but now that she's with Ashianna, she looks like an innocent kid who's happy with every little things happened. She smile rarely but now… it's just feels weird. Something smells fishy din and in additional I notice Yves strange reaction while she’s looking at them.

I think Yves notice me staring at her because she looked in my direction. She smile sweetly, the one she always did, but now it's kinda felt different.

She smile with her eyes in pain. I can clearly see it, but why? Is it because of Calista and Ashianna? Maybe.

It's an open-secret that Yves likes Calista and that there is something between them and now she looks hurt seeing Calista with Ashianna. Might it be just a simple jealousy or there is something happening behind my back and Yves knows about it?

“Maxiii!” Yves high-pitched voice call out my lutang soul. She run into my direction and then hug me thighly. Oh yeah I'm sure she's really jealous. She always do this whenever she felt jealous when Calista is with someone. She always run to me just to get a hug. Mangagamit ang atake ng baby-ate ko, but who can resist this cutie?

“Ang random nung hug.” Ashianna said then laughed.

“Oys, Yves n'yo nagpapababy nanaman.” Jhoy said. Yves looks at her then roll her eyes while still clinging in my right arm. Jhoy just laugh with Yves actions.

I hold Yves hand while walking to sit on the sofa and then made her sit beside me. She continued clinging on me and I just let her. We are now cuddling on the sofa Infront of our friends.

I can see Calista’s sudden mood swing. She stopped entertaining Ashianna and now she's already on her phone. Tsk.

A minute later she suddenly stood up catching everyones attention. She sign that she’s just having phone so we just nods.

She walk away then enter the kitchen for privacy maybe, but it's actually a little bit useless because we can still see her.

I donno but I got curious so I was now looking at her direction. She looked stressed so I already knew who she's talking with, her grandparents for sure.

We used to love her grandparents, they are so kind and caring, but growing up I slowly change how I looked at them.

They're too controling and all they think was their business and money, and what worst is they're now pressuring Calista to marry someone.

I don't get them sometimes—no always pala, I never understand why they're doing that to her, but all I know was that old people never fail to ruin their own granddaughter’s day.

I saw how her expression turn out after the call ended. It looks like she lose the argument with her grandparents again.

She stayed there sitting in the counter while holding her forehead, I know she needs someone right now so I decided to go and comfort her.

I looked at Yves who is now looking at Calista too. We looked into each other for  a second before she understood my look and immediately stood to make a way for me.
