Past or Present? (A Juan Karlos and Darren Fanfiction) [ON HOLD; EDITING]

Chapter 36: Knowing Darren Espanto

Kristine's POV

We were outside their house. I mean, we were or I was still amazed in their house. Ugh. There are lots of beautiful houses around this village and hindi gan'to yung nakikita ko sa Pinas. Mas maganda yung dun 'cause it was made by Filipinos.

"Okay na ba? Baka matunaw yung bahay namen. Hahaha." My eyes grew wide. He knows how to speak Tagalog.

"Marunong kang magtagalog Darren?"

"Of course. Di ba sinabi sayo ni Lynelle na we're Pinoy?"

"Sinabe, pero di niya namention na marunong kayong magtagalog."

"Kailangan pa bang sabihin? Bulol na nga yung kapatid ko sa pagsasalita we." Bulol ka din naman sa pagsasalita e.

"I heard that." He rang their doorbell and I saw a woman and a little girl standing in front of us. My gosh. I was like... can I bring home your sister? Hahaha. So adorbs.

"Jade, magiging ice cream na yung kapatid ko oh."

"Oh sorry."

"Hewow Ate Jade." Aww. So cute.

"Hi Lynelle."

"Wet's pway. Pwease?"

"Pwede ba?" I ask Darren. He might be bored if I didn't talk to him.

"Yeah pwede. Pwede naman kayong maglawo." Ay ang cute.

"Anong 'maglawo'? HAHAHA. Darren MAG-LA-RO HINDI MAGLAWO HAHAHA."

"Mag-la-ro. Maglawo. Ihh. Ayoko na, it's hard."

"You kids. Hahaha. Jade, come inside first. Lynelle, Ate will eat muna okay?"

"Okay Mama. I wove you."

"I love you too."

"Hoy Darren."

"Bakit Jade?"

"Pwede ba tayong magwawo?" I ask in a teasing voice and he glared. I hear her Mom laugh at the kitchen.

"MA STOP LAUGHING!"

"Okay anak hahaha I'm sorry."

"Anong la...ro?"

"Questions. Parang getting to know each other ganun?"

"Ahh. Sige. But later na lang 'cause we need to eat before anything else."

I nod and he guided me through their kitchen and I saw cookies and cake. I will definitely eat this all.

"Tita, do you have lots of this? I might eat all."

"We have..." She said placing a fork and plate in the table. "Don't worry, Darren can eat all that in five minutes."

"Really Tita? I thought wrong."

"Yes, I can do that. Basta sweets."

We started eating and Tita was not wrong. He can eat those in five minutes. How can he do that?

"Let's go?"

"Where?"

"In my room. Let's do that question and answer portion." He said like a host in a beauty contest. Gahd, Darren.

We went inside his room and wow again, it's full of green. Di naman halatang favorite niya ang green ano?

"Halatang ayaw mo sa green."

"Oo nga e. Hahaha. O sige, let's start?"

"Okay Darren. Uh... Dito ba kayo lumaki?"

"Yeah. Kaya ayan nabubulol kami when it comes to Tagalog. Ako naman. What's your favorite song?"
