The Faithful Encounter (Completed)

Chapter 3

True enough at exactly 10 o'clock that morning Trey was there eating my bacon and egg breakfast. Hindi man lang nangimi kahit konti. Masyado talagang at home. My Mom and Dad are also in the dining table. It was Saturday and has custom to eat together.

"Ang aga-aga talaga nating may bwusita no Mom - - Dad." 

Mom and dad just smile as they know what would happened next. This is the usual weekend conversation. Trey dining at our house and I was firing harsh words. According to them this is our love language.

"So Trey hindi ka man lang ba tinamaan sa sinabi ko?" 

"Ha? Anong sinabi mo? May sinabi ka ba? Sorry busy ako kumakain hindi kita narinig." 

I know he heard me but siguradong hindi naman siya aamin. I came closer and pick the food on his plate. "Akin na nga yan bacon and egg ko. Hindi naman sayo to' nang aagaw ka." 

"Sino kaya itong nang aagaw. Para kang bata. Sabay abot at subo sa kinuha ko." 

"Matakaw 

"Bleh!!!"

The free breakfast eating goes until Friday but this time it was only the two of us who are eating. My parent already get to work and I won't start until 9 o'clock so it is okay.

"Don't you get tired of eating my breakfast?" 

"I am not eating your breakfast. I am eating Nana Cita's cooking." 

"Nana Cita is cooking for me." 

"No, Nana Cita is cooking for the family." 

"You are not my brother, how come you are included to our family tree." 

"But I am your friend and take note best friend so I am your family. Nakasabit ako doon sa sanga tignan mo man." Sabay subo sa pagkain

I really love talking to him and exchanging sarcasm. Never siya napikon sa araw araw na pagtataboy ko sa kanya. Maybe because he knows that I am only joking. Ang cute lang kasi niya tignan kapag nagbibigay sya ng out of this world connection para makalusot.

"Oh heto pa ang egg at bacon." 

"Ang sweet mo talaga Mandy." 

"Che! Pinapanalangin ko na sumakit tiyan mo sa sobrang kain kaya binibigyan pa kita." 

"Aysus, pasimple ka pa alam ko naman na mahal na mahal mo ako at ayaw mo akong nagugutom." 

"Ang kapal naman talaga ng face mo noh. Batok gusto?" 

"Wag! May party pa tayong aattendan mamaya at ayaw kong mapabalita na battered boyfriend." 

"Pero hindi mo ba naisip na baka may aattend dun na kilala ako? Paano maniniwala mga un na tayo e simula nung mga wala pa tayong saplot ay magkaibigan na tayo." Biglang singit ko. 

"Ang bastos mo ha. Anong walang saplot. Pervert ka."malanding komento nya na nag asal bading pa.

Isang mabilis na bigwas ang dumapo sa ulo nya. "Sira ulo! Figurative ang description na un. Tumino ka nga ha." 

"Aray naman. Kapag ako talaga hindi nakarating dun sa party kalimutan na natin ung deal natin. Ibabalita ko pa naman sana sa iyo na nakuha ko na ang address at pangalan ng nagmamay-ari ng audi na pinapainvestigate mo.

Biglang nagliwanag ang mukha ko. Ang bilis naman ng improvement. Isang linggo lang at meron na agad result. Now ang kailangan ko lang masiguro ay kung paano ako makakaganti sa barumbadong gwapong driver na un. Ay erase-erase! Bakit ba may kasama pang gwapo. Uulitin ko. Dapat makaganti ako sa barumbado at walang kwentang driver na un. Ayan maayos ng pakinggan.
