girlfriends (on-going)

O L I V I A

Napangiti ako nong nagtama ang mga mata namin ni Savannah habang inaayos ko yong mga gamit sa ibabaw ng lamesa namin. Nandito na kami ngayon sa Sitio San Teodoro kung saan namin isinasagawa ang project ng NDRN Colleges at kakatapos lang namin mag tanghalian kaya nililigpit ko na ang mga kubyertos at mga pinggan na aming pinagkainan.

"Inday mabasag mo yang mga baso ba, tingnan mo naman yang hawak mo oh." Biglang sumulpot si Colet habang nakalagay ang kamay sa kanyang bewang.

"Ha?" Saad ko at nilipat sa kanya yong tingin ko.

"Ayan nanaman sila sa kanilang munting mundo. Kanina ka pa nakatitig kay Savannah, crush mo ba siya?" Colet asked with her furrowed eyebrows.

Hindi ko siya sinagot at mas binilisan yong kilos ko kasi hindi siya tatahimik.

"Wow naman sa pa mysterious effect." Colet mumbled kaya natawa ako.

Me and Savannah stayed low-key, we both agreed on it kaya only our friends knew the thing between us. They were all hyped up and happy about it and that made me happy as well.

"Liv? Are you done yet?" I turn around saw Mikha calling for me.

"Almost, bakit?"

"Help me here." Saad niya at tinuro yong mga hugasin na nasa harapan niya.

Aba? Ako na nga nagligpit sa mesa tapos magpapatulong pa siya sa pag hugas? Ang duga naman neto?

"Wow ah, that's your task kaya." I said and place the remaining plates in front of her.

Nasa may gripo siya at naka-upo sa harap ng mga hugasin and mind you and dami nga non and as someone like Mikha alam ko na hindi to marunong mag hugas.

"I know but I don't know how to do dishes." She said and even pouted a little. Ang angas sa harap ni Aiah pero nagpapabebe sa akin.

"Edi sana nag decline ka kanina nong nag assigned sila ng tasks."

"You know I can't say no to Aiah, right?"

"Ehh, you're so down bad."

"As if ikaw hindi pag when it comes to Savannah?"

"Nandamay ka pa eh, halika na at hugasan na tong mga to." I said and started removing the remnants of foods from the dishes and Mikha was the one who's washing them.

Not long enough I heard her released a little whine kaya doon na ako natawa. Parang bata naman to eh.

"Ako na nga dito, doon ka na." Pinagtabuyan ko na siya.

"Are you sure?"

"Oo nga, pero ngayon lang to. Sa susunod wag ka nang tatanggap ng task na di mo kaya ha?" I said and she just nodded her head before walking towards the tent.

I continue doing the dishes and I was halfway through it nong may naupo sa upuan ni Mikha kanina and I came face to face with Aiah.

"Bakit?" I asked.

"Let me help you. I saw Mikha walking around like a lost child so I supposed she was not able to do these." She said and started helping me.
