Apples & Oranges

A&O 17

Irene's POV

Oh come on, she's not picking up again. I uttered worriedly as I dialled Annie's number several times now.

Bigyan mo muna kase ng time ang bata Rene, maybe she's still processing everything kaya naguguluhan. Michelle commented.

Pero di ako sanay na ganito kami Michelle. Everytime I visited mommy's house, she hides from me eh. I sadly stated.

Annie has been discharged from the hospital at kina mommy siya nag stay but yun nga, she's avoiding me and Greggy. While ako naman, I stay in Ana's condo parin, bukod sa komportable ako may business rin kaming inaasikaso.

Irene look! Here's another flowers again.

Pareho kaming napalingon ni Michelle sa kapapasok lang na si Ana. Napairap agad ako sa mga dala niya.

Kindly throw that away, Ana. Kumukulo lang ang dugo ko sa mga bulaklak na yan.

Hoy, grabi kana, it's the
5th flower for today. Marami ka ng natapon earlier, sayang rin, favorite mo kaya to.

Pwes hindi na ngayon! Naiinis kong sagot, causing them para pagtawanan ako.

The flowers are from him. Simula nung nalaman niyang buntis ako, he keeps sending me flowers, asking for meet up. Pero since bihira lang akong lumalabas dito sa condo ni Ana, di na siya tumigil kapapadala ng flowers.

Why not face him ulit, Rene? Look, he won't stop doing this unless pagbigyan mo. Ana suggested.

Over my dead body Ana! At isa pa, what for? Naghahanap lang siya ng gulo. Pagreact ko agad.

Hay nako, umagang- umaga ang init ng ulo mo. Tell us nalang, what do you want to eat para kumalma ka? Pag iiba ni Michelle ng usapan causing me para mapangiti agad.

Hmmmm.. How about let's borrow the neighbor's frying pan? And let's cook fried tofu with ice cream on it. I suggested.

Hoy Irene! Tumigil ka sa kahibangan mong yan ha? Talagang di mo parin tinantanan ang frying pan nila. Mabilis na suway ni Ana.

Anong magagawa ko? Yun ang gusto ko eh. Feeling ko ikamamatay ko talaga kung di magamit ang kanilang frying pan.

Ana, pagbigyan na natin si Irene. Let's borrow the neighbor's frying pan. Michelle suggested na ikinangiti ko.

Fine, you stay here Irene, Michelle and I will try to ask the neighbor. I immediately nodded sa wika ni Ana.

After 10 minutes, napalakpak ako sa tuwa nang may bitbit na frying pan si Ana.

Pasalamat ka, mabait yung kapit-bahay natin kung hindi, iwan ko nalang. Pahayag ni Ana.

He's asking also, kung ano ang gusto mong kainin, he's willing to send us foods daw. Confuse ko naman tiningnan si Michelle.

Huh? He? So lalake yung kapit bahay natin? Why does he wants to send us foods naman? That's weird. I commented.

Bigla naman sila nagkatinginan dalawa.

Ahmm.. Naikwento kase namin na buntis ka at naglilihi kaya ayun, he's worried also, tama! Yun nga!

Napailing nalang ako sa kanilang sagot, parang di pa sila sure.

Well, that's good! He's mabait pala.
Anyway, let's try this frying pan, I'm excited to use this! Masigla kong saad while getting the frying pan from Ana.

Rene, we're going na. Just call us anytime kung may ipapabili ka, ha? Pahayag ni Michelle sa akin.
