Natatawang namangha si Kieth nang makita ang cheat sheet ni Jeanna sa buong angkan nila. Seryoso talaga ito sa pagkabisa ng mga pangalan nila.
Oh his adorable Jeanna...
"Kieth!" Gulat na bungad ng dalaga na kapapasok lang.
"Hi." Nakangiti niyang bati at ibinaba ang cheat sheet ng dalaga. "I thought you're already here so I went in. How's the spa?"
Halata pag-iiba ng aura ng dalaga. Mas naging relaxed ito at kitang-kita ang epekto ng spa. "Hi..." Naglakad na ito palapit sa kanya. "Okay naman. Lahat ng tita mo ini-spoil ako kaya nahihiya na ako."
Jeanna is really adorable being like this.
He opens his arms and gestures that he's asking for a hug. Natawa ito sa kanya at agad din siyang pinagbigyan. Jeanna embraces him tightly and he couldn't fight the temptation to bury his face on her neck, so he did.
If this is the thing about wholesome that his cousins are bragging about, he understand why his cousins are suckers for this. This is nothing compared to the women who simply warms their bed, or vice versa.
"May problema ba?" Tanong nito.
Umiling siya at, kahit ayaw pa niya, siya na ang kumalas sa yakap nila. "I just wanted to see you. Ang aga ka kasing kinuha nila mommy."
She chuckles and teasingly pats his arm. "Miss mo na ako agad? Parang kahapon naman hindi tayo magkasama maghapon. Kumain ka na ba? Gusto mong kumain? Gusto ko kasi ng halo-halo."
"Yes, I missed you already; and okay, let's have what you want." Sagot niya agad.
Magkahawak kamay silang lumabas.
It's really funny how he could easily be happy with these simple things they do. Napakasimple ng holding hands pero sobrang gusto niya itong ginagawa. He likes holding onto Jeanna like this.
Nababaliw na siya.
Naalala niya tuloy noon kung paano siya mainggit sa mga pinsan niya lalo noong nasa high school pa lang sila. He would see them all time holding hands with different girls. He only has himself to blame for it though. Hindi naman lihim sa kanya na takot ang lahat sa kanya; walang babaeng naglakas-loob na lapitan siya. But having Jeanna now takes him back to experiencing what he didn't get to experience before.
Nababaliw na nga talaga siya.
"Alam mo, laging sinasabi ni kuya na masarap daw gumawa ng halo-halo 'yung mama namin." Biglang sabi ng dalaga. "Did you get to meet her?"
Sa totoo lang hindi niya matandaan. "I don't think we did. You really miss her, do you?"
Tumango ito pero hindi na niya nakikitang malungkot ito. It's like the memories makes her happy than making her sad. "I miss her so much pero nagpromise na rin kami ni kuya na hindi kami malulungkot kapag naaalala namin sila ni papa. I mean, I don't even have a clear memory of them but I would like to consider my kuya's stories about them as my memories. I simply think that they're just far away for now."
Huminto muna siya para mahila ang dalaga sa isa muling yakap. "We're your family now. You know know how much Mom loves to have a daughter and now she has you."
"So, aampunin mo na ako officially?"
Natawa siya doon at pinisil ang tungki ng ilong ng dalaga. "Oh, I'll be sinful if my parents adopt you. Loving you will be all worth it but committing incest is a sin."
Natawa lalo ang dalaga at hinampas pa siya. "Baliw! 'Yang mga hugot mo, Kieth, 'ha. 'Wag mong masyadong sineseryoso at nai-imagine ko!"
"What?" Napahalakhak na lang din siya. "Imagine that I will be your brother and we will go in secret places to have our dates. We will kiss in secret... Hindi na pwedeng public..."
