A night with you

Night 13

Night 13:

Juami:

I was shocked and happy at the same time after I read Jed's message to me. I still can't believe it, napapayag ko si Jed Manguera sa gusto ko.

I tapped the reply box...

To: Jed Manguera

You have my word, I won't tell her anything. I'll wait for your text tomorrow morning. Thanks, man!

After sending him my reply, I immediately went out of my room and ran downstairs. I need to tell this to Dino, I'm sure he'll be happy pag nalaman niya 'to.

"Dino! Dino!" sigaw ko habang bumababa ako sa hagdan, "I need to tell you something!!"

His eyes are still glued on the TV, "I don't care, kuya!" inis na sagot niya sa'kin, "I need to tell you something pero wala naman!"

Kung kelan naman seryoso na ako saka naman ayaw ako paniwalaan nitong magaling kong kapatid!

"I am death serious, Dino!" sabi ko habang nakaharang sa TV, "This is about Onemig."

When he heard Onemig's name his face suddenly lighten up, para bang nanalo siya sa lotto na hindi ko maintindihan.

"What about Onemig?" he asked.

"We'll go out with Onemig tomorrow." masayang balita ko sakanya, "As in whole day, bro!"

"WHAT?!" hindi makapaniwalang sabi niya, "Is that for real?!"

I nodded continuosly at him, "Yeah, kaya matulog ka na talaga!"

He stood up from his seat and fixed the PS3, "Eto na nga eh, nag-aayos na."

Next day.

I woke up extra early today. Actually I didn't get to sleep last night, sobrang excited talaga ako. After 3 years, ngayon ko lang makakasama yung anak ko ng matagal.

I reached for my phone on my bedside table and decided to call my ever maloko friends- Von and Kiefer.

"Good morning Von and Kief!" I greeted them.

"Paps! Grabe ka naman, alas singko palang ng umaga oh!" reklamo ni Kiefer.

"What do you want from us, Juams?" Von asked, "We're still sleepy, man!"

"I need your help guys. Dino and I are going out with Onemig today. Saan ko ba siya pwede dalhin?"

I heard them heaved out a deep sigh, "Paps naman! Napakadali lang niyan itinawag mo pa sa'min!" sagot ni Kiefer.

"Bring him to Manila Zoo!" sagot naman ni Von.

"Tama si Von, Juams. Sige na, bye na!" then sabay nilang binaba yung phone.

WHAT THE HELL?! Bakit naman ganyan kayo Kiefer?! I badly need your help guys... Tapos ano? Pinabayaan niyo ako ngayon! Bahala na, sana mag-enjoy si Onemig sa pagdadalhan ko sakanya mamaya.

While Dino and I were having our breakfast, the doorbell rang.

"Manang Elena!" tawag ko sa kasambahay namin, "Manang patingin naman po kung sino yung nag doorbell."
