Chapter 16: What you had? Or what you have?

Agad syang sinalubong ni Bernith pagkalabas ng dormitory.

"Hi love!" Bati nito na ikinatawa ni Reigh.

Cleigh stared at him in horror.
"Love?"

Kumarga si Bernith sakanya.

"Yes! She's my love. Any problem with that?" Sagot ni Bernith ng makalapit sila ni Reigh sa sasakyan.

Napailing nalamang sya at binuksan ang back seat kung saan naupo si Reigh at Bernith.

They traveled for almost 20 minutes before they reached the mall.
Napakaraming kwento ni Bernith habang nasa byahe sila.

The car parked then they went inside the mall. Sabado ngayon kaya maraming tao.

"There! I want to go there!" Sigaw ni Bern habang hila hila si Reigh papunta sa isang Arcade Center.

"Wait up bud! You said you'll just buy new toys. Why do you want to go there now?" Tanong naman ni Cleigh.

Bernith frowned. "Kuya Cleigh! I want to go there!" Humarap ito kay Reigh. "You'll come with me, right love?"

Ngumiti sya at tumungo. "Off course." She answered saka tumingin kay Cleigh.
Wala naman nang nagawa ang binata kundi sumunod sa dalawa.

Naglaro sila ng mga Arcade games.
And just like before, talo parin si Ethan kay Reigh.

"Wooohoooo! And still undefeated! Reigh Carim Mejico!" She cheered with a fist bump in the air at may kasama pang palakpak sa kanyang supporter na si Bernith.

"Hah! Kuya Cleigh, she's better than you!" Pumapalakpak nitong sabi.

"Yeah yeah, I know that. And I won't deny it."

Biglang lumingon si Bernith sa labas ng Arcade Center.

"Let's go somewhere else!" Sigaw nitong muli at nagkatinginan ang dalawa.

"I guess this will be a long day." Bagsak balikat na saad ni Cleigh.

Naglaro pa sila ng ilang games, kumanta sa videoke, sumayaw rin at naglibot. Pass 11 nang maisipan nilang kumain muna.

Nakahawak si Bernith sa kaliwang kamay ni Reigh at kanang kamay ni Cleigh.
Mukha silang isang pamilya habang naglalakad.

He looked at his little hand na hawak ni Reigh. He then noticed na ganoon pala kaliit ang kamay niya kumpara sa kamay ng dalaga.

Sunod naman nyang tiningnanang kabilang kamay and he noticed the same.

"Where do you want to eat?" Tanong ni Cleigh kay Reigh.

"Kahit saan. Ikaw Ber---" Napatigil sya ng bumitaw si Bernith sa kamay nya at biglang inilipat ito sa kamay ni Cleigh.
Now, the two of them were holding their hands.

Sabay napatingin ang dalawa sakanya.
"There! It's better!" The young boy said while clapping. "Your hands are both big."

Biglang napatingin si Cleigh sa kamay nila. His heart suddenly beat fast.
Reigh on the other hand blushed with the current situation.

Magrereact sana sya sa sinabi ni Bernith when a familiar voice called her name.
A voice she missed for so long.

"Reigh..." Tawag ni Drew, na kasama si Mildred.
But he's not looking at Cleigh but at their hands... na magkahawak.
