Chapter 40: Start The Fire
(Venice's POV)
---------------- ?
Jerwin:Well.. here we are.
Jerwin parked his truck sa tapat nung gate nung bahay ko. I was so ecstatic about the new house na halos kaladkarin na ko ni Jerwin palabas.. He promised me I can go back tomorrow to order the movers around.
Ako:So.. what time dadating ung mga furniture? And are you sure na pwedeng-pwede ko silang utus-utusan kung san at pano nila aayusin ung rooms? :D
Jerwin:Oo nga.. Just make sure the house looks presentable.
Ako:I shall do my best. :D
Jerwin:And by the way, I have to be in the studio pretty much the whole day tomorrow.. Do you want me to ask Mang Ponce kung pwede ka nyang i-drive around?
Ako:Naaaahhhh. Mag-jjeep na lang ako. :)
Jerwin:That's good. At least, di ko na kailangan bayaran ung gas nung van. :D
Ako:Kuripot. -__-
Jerwin:Yea, yea. I'll see you sometime tomorrow then.
Ako:Okie. Good night!
I jumped out of the truck and nag-glide papasok nung gate. I heard the truck drive away as I opened the main door--
"VENICEEEE!!!"
O_O
And kakabukas ko pa lang ng pinto, lumipad na kagad ang nanay ko papunta sa'kin (which wasn't very easy to do, considering lahat ng kalat sa sahig).
Ako:Aloha, motherr.
Mom:San ka ba galing? Kanina pa kita hinahanap? T^T
Ako:I'm sorry for the wa-poise na exit kanina. Di na mauulit.
Mom:Kasi naman! Assuming ka naman masyado! San ka ba galing!??
Ako:Jerwin brought me to the house -- our house.
Mom:Ay! Nakita mo na?? Ang ganda di ba?! :D
And just like that, all was forgiven. My mom led me up to my room para ilabas lahat ng excitement nya dun sa bahay. In fairness, dinaig pa ang level ng excitement ko.. parang sya ang lilipat ah.. :P

The next day.. Maaga akong nakalabas from school dahil may kung anong family emergency ung prof ko sa last class.
So here we are.. Nag-wwindow shopping ni best friend sa tabi-tabi.. kahit pareho kaming walang pera. :D
Sheena:He bought you a house?!?!?!? O_O
Ako:No. He rented a house for him -- sabit lang ako.
Sheena:BUT YOU'RE MOVING IN TOGETHER!!! O.O
Ako:SSSSHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
I immediately clamped a hand over Sheena's mouth, tapos biglang flash ng smile sa mga tao sa paligid namin. Kunwari delusional si Sheena.. wala silang narinig! :D
I dragged Sheena out of the store, and nung all clear na, tsaka ko lang tinanggal ung kamay ko from her mouth.
Ako:Wag ka ngang maingay! Pano na lang kung may makarinig!??!
Sheena:Eh kaseh naman si fafa J! Na-sshock ako! Pero... anong itsura nung bahay? Mansion ba? :D
Ako:Loka. Hinde.. I'm going there later, gusto mo sumama? :D
