Minah's POV
"Okay lang 'yon. Ayokong lang talagang may nag lilihim sa'kin. Lalo na 'tong si kuya. Tss."
Ren said sabay batok sa kuya niya.
After naming mag usap sa condo, we decided na dumiretsong house nila.Sila Ate Rydel din pala hindi na tutuloy bukas. Si tita Raine lang talaga.
"Aray naman! Nag sorry na nga ko diba?" Red asked.
"Oh siya tama na 'yan guys. Kumain muna tayo."
Ate Rydel said sabay lapag ng ulam sa table.
Hmmm. That smell. Adobo.
~*~
"Thank you talaga kuya." I said after kong malaman 'yung ginawa niya.
Siya pala 'yung kumausap kay Tita Raine kaya naintindihan niya ang lahat. Sinabi niya 'yung totoo about us at in-explain lahat.
"Okay lang 'yon, pero ayaw mo ba talagang umuwi?" Kuya asked. Pinuntahan niya lang kasi ako sa condo ko.
At OO ayoko talagang umuwi. For sure masisira lang araw ko.
"This is my home." Paninindigan ko.
"But mom wants to talk to you."
I rolled my eyes.
"Edi pumunta siya dito. Gano'n naman lagi 'yung ginagawa niya diba. Coming here just to confront me. Don't tell me ako pa 'yung mag a-adjust for her." I said irritatedly.
"Nahihirapan na 'ko sa inyo ha. Both of you are so hard headed."
"Tss. Basta. I can't trust her anymore. Oh siya thank you talaga kuya. You're the best." I said then give him a kiss on cheeks.

Ilang days na rin kaming hindi nakapasok.Buti nalang now pumasok na kami. Pero dahil vacant namin. Nandito kami ngayon sa green house ni Red. 'Yung ibang 5PM di ko alam kung na'san. Si Ren naman kinakausap nung president ng cultural club. Si Angela? Malay ko.
"Oy." Red said.
"Oh?"
"I love you."
I rolled my eyes kahit nakakakilig.
"Paulit ulit ka na ha."
"Oy. 'Wag kang ganyan. Maraming nag aasam ng I love you ko, pero ikaw lang 'yung maswerteng babaeng sinabihan ko."
"Ako LANG? Parang di naman."
"Oo nga."
"Eh si Angela? Diba naging M.U kayo dati?"
He laughs.
"Selos ka sa kanya noh?" He asked suspiciously. Why would I?
"Hindi noh."
"Tss. Bata pa kami that time. I never said I love her, I just said I like her."
I pouted.
"Parang gano'n na rin 'yun.
Lumapit siya sa'kin. Tangina Red! Ya'n ka nanaman eh.
'Yung sobrang lapit.
Pinadulas niya 'yung kamay niya sa pisngi ko.
Sobrang lapit na namin sa isa't isa. Gusto kong kumawala pero parang na-stuck ako sa kinatatayuan ko.
My heart beat fast. You're always giving me this stupid feeling.
"Ikaw lang 'yung babaeng minahal ko. What I feel for Angela is just an infatuation."
Mas lalo niya nilapit 'yung mukha niya sa'kin. I can feel his breath.
Bigla nalang akong napapikit.
I can also feel his nose.Magkadikit na 'yung ilong namin.
Lalong pang bumilis 'yung tibok ng puso ko.
Hindi ako makagalaw. I don't know why. Nakapikit lang ako waiting for??
I heard him laugh kaya napadilat ako.
He's now laughing very hard.
Ugh!!"You're disgusting!" I said sa sobrang inis ko.
Wait? What? Bakit ako naiinis? Is that because?
"You want to taste my lips aren't you?" He said still laughing.
"No." I deny.
"Oh come on. I saw your face. You're to young for that then you expect me to kiss you? Tss. come on."
"Hindi ah! Assuming ka talaga. At tsaka young ka rin naman eh." I said defensively.
He is still laughing.
"Pikon na siya. Don't worry. Matitikman mo rin 'tong labi ko. As soon as we got married."
I rolled my eyes.
"Tagal pa no'n!"
He laugh again.
"Now you admit it. You really want me to kiss you." He's pissing me off right now.
"Ewan ko sa'yo!" I said irritatedly.
"Don't worry baby. Naka-reserve na 'to para sa'yo." He said then smirk.
Ta's nag bite lip pa.Psh! Napailing iling nalang ako. Poker face.
