Veiled In Matrimonial Shadows

"Eat first before using your phone, Arthellara."

I looked at Fheia who was looking at me seriously after finishing her ramen, she was so focused on eyeing me as if she's trying to examine my face. Her eyes became smal the moment she smiled a bit but instantly stopped and bit her lower lip instead.

When my eyes and hers instantly locked the moment we stared at each other, no one dared to break the eye contact and obviously I won't let her win on this staring contest until...

"S-sorry, the girls is asking if t-they can make paturo to me on how to paint.." I looked away from Mafheia the moment she raised her right eyebrow matching with her serious expression, making me stutter.

"Tell them to come here na, they can barge in whenever they want, mga kapitbahay naman natin sila... Maliban lang kay Solana." She said before taking her phone from the side of her bowl and opening it.

I nodded even though she won't see it because she's focused on her phone while typing something, maybe she is talking to her sisters which is Sam, Pearl and ate Haven.

"Stop thinking that I didn't notice your nod, I saw it."

My brows furrowed when she spoke, she's looking like a mind reader because she's right, I was just thinking about her not seeing my nod and then she suddenly said that.

I nodded again before focusing on my phone because it keeps on vibrating, our friends really can't wait that's why we all became friends way back in elementary.
