“Kelan balik mo sa England ha, Ally?”
she grabbed one apple dun sa basket na lalagyan ng fruits. Hmp.
Binili para sakin yun ni Gab e.
“Well… as long as your in here. Dito rin ako.” Sabay kagat sa apple.
Tumayo naman ako, tinignan lang ako ni Ally as if asking kung ba’t ako tumayo.
“CR break.” Sabi ko lang sakaniya at tumango naman siya.
Pagbalik ko naman galling CR break…
“ihi ka ng ihi.” She noticed.
“Normal lang daw yun sabi ni Mama.” Ineexplain kasi sakin lahat ni mama e kaya nga she’ll be staying here with me until I’m settled na raw.
And speaking of staying…
“So going back… what do you mean as long as I’m here?” tinapon na niya yung apple na kinakain niya kanina. Yung binili para sakin ni Gab. Ampf. Bilis maubos e. hehe.
“I think that’s kinda self explanatory bes.” She sat beside me.
“No, what I meant was paano studies mo? Paano si JV?” JV is her boyfriend whom she left in England.
“Paano ang life mo sa England? Anu na lang sasabihin nina Tita?” we both know that she has better chances now in england than I do. At isa pa, I won’t allow it that she’ll also sacrifice for my sake. Lahat na lang sila ginigive up yung meron sa kanila just for me. Its unfair.
“Mom knows my plans. At pumayag naman siya. As for my studying, pagtapos mong manganak babalik ako sa pag-aaral.”
“WHAT?!” what on earth is this girl talking about?
“ba’t ka titigil? You don’t need to do that, Ally. Does your mom also approve of this?” I was basically freaking out. Anu ba naman kasi ‘tong pinaplanon gawin ni Ally. Napaka absurd.
“Yeah. I definitely don’t need to. BUT I want to.” She smiled. “and yes, alam ni mama. Don’t worry napapayag ko siya. “ Napapayag? May duda ako.
“bakit? Anu bang sinabi mo kay Tita?”
“I just told her na nangako tayong sabay manganganak someday. But your pregnant now and I’m not. So basically I’m breaking the promise, you know they don’t like broken promises. So I’m gonna act like one para parehas tayo.” She made that up. Obviously. Hehe. tinignan ko nga siya ng masama. Nagsigh naman siya.
“I wouldn’t allow you on this, Niobe. And THAT, they understand.” Aw. I was really touched sa sinabi ni ally. Alam ko rin namang maiintindihan nina Tita kasi para na kaming magkapatid ni Ally. They know me as much as they know her.
Biglang naputol ang moment namin ni Ally nang tumunog ang cellphone ko.
