CHAPTER 15: Eksena

Eduard's POV

So yup, I am actually with Sav. Kasama ko syang nililibot ang university nato. Well, I don't know pero malapit na rin kasi ang finals. Graduating na kami.

“Kamusta ang shawarma?” I asked her.

“I still have one!” she said

“Di mo naman kasi sinabing favorite mo pala yan, edi sana araw araw dinalhan kita ng Shawarma” I said.

“Duh? Nagtanong ka ba?” she asked.

“Alam mo Sav, ang cute mo” I said.

“Ang chubby na ng cheeks mo” I added.

“Is that a compliment, or what?” pagtataray nya.

“I don't know” pagbibiro ko.

“I HATE YOU!” she said.

Tinanggal ko ang kamay ko sa pagkakahawak sa kamay nya. I lift it up and take a pinch on her cheeks.

“You are too cute to hate me” I said habang pinipisil ang pisngi nya.

“Aaah!” pag aray nya.

“Kiss ko gusto mo? Para mawala yung sakit” pagbibiro ko naman.

“I REALLY REALLY HATE YOU ED” she said.

Nagulat nalang ako at bigla syang naluha. Hala, kasalanan ko pa yata to!

“Sorry” I said.

“You mean it first” she said while crying.

“Gusto lang talaga kitang mapatawa kaya ko ginawa yon” I said.

She made an amazing fake laugh at me.

“Oh ayan, napatawa mo nako. Okay kana?!” she said.

“Halika nga rito,” I said. Pero ako na ang lumapit sa kanya. Pinunasan ko ng aking kamay ang gilid ng mga mata nyang umiiyak.

“Stop crying. Lalo ka lang pumapangit” pagbibiro ko naman.

Pero umiiyak pa rin sya. Seryoso? Masakit kaya talaga yung pagkurot ko? Hala.

“Sorry na talaga Sav” I keep on saying.

“Ang sakit kasi e” she said.

Naupo muna kami sa may bench.

“Sorry na oh. Pleeeeaaase” I said habang hawak hawak ko ang kamay nya.

Pero di sya umiimik.

“Sige ka, lalo kang tataba” I said.

“Why don't u leave me?” she asked.

“Bat naman kita iiwan? Napakadrama mo naman. Parang kurot lang eh” I said.

“Wag mo nang uulitin yon ah” she said.

“Okay promise” I said habang natatawa.

“You're about to laugh. You seem unserious” she said.

“Promise na nga eh. Kailangan ko pa ba na magpacute?” I said with my very best gay tone.

Bigla syang natawa mula sa pagkakaseryoso nya.

“Mas maganda talaga pag lagi kang naka-smile” I said.

“Isa pa nga please?” she requested.

“Kurot again?” I asked.

“Noooo! Yung gay tone kasi” she said.

“Anong gusto mong sabihin ko?” I asked habang nag-gay tone ulit. UGH! ANG HALAY KAMO KIAN 😑 PERO AT LEAST, I CAN NOW MAKE HER LAUGH 😊

“Hahaha! Anything you can say” she said.

“Ey lev ye” I said.

She's now laughing. Until something breaks the moment.

“Ay wait lang. Sagutin ko lang to” she said habang inoopen yung phone nya.

“Hello?” I heard her saying.

“Ah, yes. Thanks again” she said.

“May next 2 classes pa kami this afternoon and then may practice pa for the competition, so” she said.

Sino naman kaya yung kausap nya? Imposible namang friends nya, e andito lang naman sina Ori. Imposible rin namang mommy nya or daddy nya because for sure busy sila. Hmm.

“Okay sige bye. I'll buy you one” she said and giggles. Their call finally ended.

“Sino yung kausap mo?” I asked in curiosity.

“Ah. Si. Si Lucas” she said.

LUCAS LUCAS LUCAS LUCAS...

“Bat daw tumawag?” I asked

“Nangamusta lang naman” she said.

“Dis oras ng school hours? Anong trip nya?” I asked.

“Wow. Ano ba yan, jealousy question, or a parent's question?” she asked me her way na natatawa.

“Ano mo ba yon?” I asked.

“Wala” she said.

“Kaibigan” she added.

“With benefits siguro” I said.

“Duh? Anong alam mo about friends with benefits? Naaaay, nanood ka non no?” she said.

“Don't worry. Ikaw lang naman manliligaw ko” she said.

“Good” I said.

“Wait, parang ang gulo Ed. Have u noticed?” she asked.

“Ha? Alin?” I asked curiously.

“Kanina, ako ang galit. Ngayon aba parang ikaw na yata. I can't see the logic Eduard Kian” she said.

“Di naman ako galit ah. Nagtatanong lang. Malay ko ba na baka may karibal na pala ako sa panliligaw sayo” I said.

“Sus” she said.

“Hanggang anong oras ang practice mamaya?” she asked.

“Baka upto 7pm ulit.” I said.

“Don't worry, hahatid kita sa inyo” I added.

“Baka sunduin ako ni manong” she said.

“Edi sabihin mo na ngayon na di ka magpapasundo” I said.

“Wow ha. Just for your sake. Bahala na” she said.

“Para sure na rin ako na makakauwi ka hanggang bahay nyo” I said.

“Wala ka bang tiwala kay Manong? Duh, he's our driver for almost 19 years” she said.

“Basta ihahatid kita mamaya sa inyo” I said.

“Okay fine” she said.
