CHAPTER SIX - LET THE COURTING BEGIN!
We’re on our way sa bahay. Daniel, is really damn serious. Well, I force myself to believe that he is.
Tsk. Baka mamaya pinag-tritripan lang ako nito. Sana hindi naman.
“You look nervous. Mukhang ikaw ‘ata yung manliligaw, ‘e.” Natatawa nyang sabi.
I faked a laugh. Eh kasi naman, IT’S TRUE, “Hindi, ah. Hahahaha.”
Napatingin ako sa mga kamay ko. I smiled unknowingly.
“We’re here.” Daniel
I looked at him.
I took a deep breath, “Let’s go?”
He nodded, then he assisted me out of the car.
We were in-front of the door when it opened, “Cha, you’re here. Your with (sabay tingin kay Daniel)....a friend.” Kuya Niel, smiled knowingly.
Pumasok na kami ni Daniel.
“Bunso this is—“ Dad
“Daniel, why are you here?” Sabi nung kasama ni Dad.
“Dad, uhhh----“ Hindi natapos mag-salita si Daniel, when dad spoke.
“So this is Daniel Padilla. Nice to meet you.” Dad, sabay abot ng kamay nya kay DJ.
DJ shook hands with Dad. They both smiled at each other.
Bumitaw na si Dad at Daniel sa pag sha-shake hands, “Well, the both of you. Sit down.”
I looked at the guy beside Dad. Then I looked at Dad.
I think he got what I meant, “Bunso, this is your Tito Rommel. And happens to be, Daniel’s father.”
REALLY?! I smiled at Tito Rommel, “Hello, po.”
He smiled back. Then looked at Daniel seriously, “Daniel, why are you here?” with a hint of ‘pang-aasar’ in his voice.
Timing na dumating si Mom & Kuya Quen, with meryenda’s.
“Oh, sandwiches and juice.” Mommy
“Uh, guys. Daniel want’s to say something.”
“GO LANG!” Si Kuya Niel, na kanina pa naka-upo sa kabilang sofa.
Daniel looked at me before looking at all of them again, “I want to ask permission, if I can court Kath.” OH MY G. GRABITY. Kinikilig ako.
“Seriously, Daniel? WOW. Bunso, your lucky. That’s a first, na sya ang maliligaw.” Kuya Niel
Nagka-tinginan si Dad at Tito Rommel.
They both smiled.
“Yes, Daniel. You can.” Dad, with a BIG smile on his face.
“Just don’t dare hurt her, Daniel. You’ll lose your face, when that happens.” Seryosong sabi ni Kuya Quen.
Tumawa si Daniel, pero tumango din. J
After that nakakalokang talk, we ate the sandwiches mom made for us.
“Well, me and Daniel would be leaving now.” Naka-ngising sabi ni Tito Rommel.
“Why don’t the both of you eat dinner first?” Mommy
