ARA
"Ano 'to, Ye?! Bakit kayo magkayakap?!"
Gulat na gulat na bumitaw yung dalawa.
"Ha? Eh... Ito kasi eh!", turo ni Mika kay Jeron.
I raised my eyebrow at her.
"Totoo nga!", pagdiin niya.
"Eh kayo? Bakit magkasama na naman kayong dalawa?", balik tanong niya sa amin ni Thomas.
Maka-change topic lang eh.
"Wala, nagkataon lang.", I shrugged my shoulders.
It was her turn to raise her eyebrow at me.
Bruha 'to, kung alam niya lang kung gaano ako kinabahan seeing their gate and her door unlocked.
"Ara's telling the truth. Nagkasabay lang kami sa gate ninyo. I was supposed to check on Jeron but as it turns out, he's here.", Thomas said as he gave his friend a teasing smile.
The latter just shook his head.
"O ok na? Sige na, labas na kayo. May pag-uusapan pa kami nitong si Ye.", pukaw ko sa atensyon nila.
Nakita ko kung paano tiningnan ni Jeron si Mika bago sila lumabas ng bahay.
I faced my best friend as soon as they left.
"At ikaw namang babae ka, yung Operating Room nilolock mo, samantalang sarili mong pinto, hindi?!"
"Victonara, nagpunta ka ba dito para pagalitan ako?", nakasimangot niyang sagot.
"Hindi sana eh, kung nadatnan lang kitang tulog. EH NADATNAN KITANG MAY KAYAKAP SA UMAGA. SO YES, I'M HERE TO BRING BACK SOME SENSE IN YOUR HEAD."
"Wala lang nga kasi yun. Lasing yung mokong kagabi. Napadpad siya dito. Period."
She went back to lying down on the sofabed and closed her eyes.
"And the hugging part?", I sat beside her.
She heaved a sigh.
"I don't know... Bigla na lang niya akong niyakap. And he kept on thanking me. Wala naman akong naalalang favor na ginawa for him. Last time I checked, we're enemies."
Hmmm, that seems odd. Imposibleng wala lang yun eh.
Mukhang magiging exciting buhay ng kaibigan ko sa susunod na mga araw ah.
"Well... how does it feel?", I asked her.
"Ang alin?", nagtatakang tanong niya.
"Maang-maangan pa. Edi makayakap si Jeron Teng!", agad akong bumangon dahil ready to attack na naman siya.
"Will you keep it down?! Isa pa, Ara ah. Tatamaan ka talaga sakin."
"Bakit ba pag sinasabi pangalan niya, nagiging bayolente ka? Eh kanina nung kayakap, enjoy na enjoy ka eh! Ano yun, pampakalma?"
"ARAAAAA!"
She stood up and we started running around the house.
"Love you, a-Teng!"
Susko, si Jeron lang pala katapat ng kaibigan ko.
I smiled at the thought.
