Ano nga ba tayo?

Chapter 14

Class is already done. We are not always together because their are subjects that we are not in common. We are walking going to the cafeteria now and he is hard to be with here at school because people gives issues and he's too famous.

I'm with Khyle and Mary every class but in lunch break and class dismissal we are separated because we have our own life, them with their boyfriend and me with Marco.

"Sorry again about that." Ani Marco nang may nag papicture na naman sa kanya. No issue naman sakin iyon dahil alam ko namang famous siya. Kahit dito sa school meron pa ding na sstar struck pag nakikita siya. According to him, he wants to be a normal student like us but seems like it's a bit impossible.

"Jelai." Aniya niya ng tumayo ako para sana gamiting excuse ang pag bili ng pagkain pa. Nakatingin ang ibang tao kaya ngumiti ako sa kanya.

"Uhmm.. Yes?"

"Wait for me." After he grab his bag he intertwined our fingers. 

I saw how other students drop their jaws. "Are you planning to leave me there?" Is it too obvious? Ayoko sana na makuhanan kasama niyang kumakain ng kami lang. Ayokong lumabas iyon sa internet at awayin ako. Buti nga dito sa school hindi nila ako ginagalaw.

"Ano ka ba. Syempre hindi. Uhm.. bibili lang sana ako." Kahit iyon naman talaga ang isa pa sa intention ko.

Then I remembered Mom's word last night. "Uhmm.. Marco." Nag lalakad kami sa may parking lot. Ang sabi samin ay vacant na ang hapon na klase dahil walang teacher.

Pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto gaya ng madalas. Hindi siya kaagad umalis dahil siya na din mismo ang nag kabit ng seatbelt ko.

"Uhmm, it is about my Mom."

His eyebrows raise looking at me. He is playing at my hair. "What did your Mom says?"

I felt so shy. I hate this! "Mom is asking you for dinner tonight. Are you free? Nakita niya kasi tayo kagabi kaya nag tanong siya. Hindi ko naman mabago isip niya na hindi ka pwede ng basta basta pupunta sa bahay. BUt if you're not free din, I will take care of it. Maiintindihan naman siguro ni mommy yun." 

"I'm free later. Sure, I will go to your house for dinner. I am also planning about this but first I'll go home and change."

So that is what happened. He drop me off at our house and leave to change at his home when afternoon arrived. I half run to get inside. I also need to freshen up. I saw how Mom is preparing for the dinner. She's wearing one of her expensive dress and Dad is in his suit. Wow!

"Where is Marco?" Then she looks at my back expecting him to show up. "He'll be here later. He's just changing."

"Okay. That's nice." Mom said with a smile. "I'll just take a quick shower, Mom."

"Yes. Good idea. Make yourself pretty." I just laugh at her then go to my room to take a bath quickly and change into one of my favorite off the shoulder dress.

Pababa na ako ng narinig ko ang doorbell. "I'll open the gate!" I yelled and quickly run towards the gate "Hi," I greeted so happy. He gives me a boquet then kiss my cheeks pero umiwas ako.

"I want a kiss," he pouted at me.

"No, may CCTv dito. Makikita tayo." He just chuckled. "You smells so good." I compliment him. Well he always smells like this.

"You too. You look beautiful." I hug him. I could feel his heart beating so fast.

 "Are you nervous?" He nodded.

I hold his hand and it is a bit cold. "They like you, okay? Chill ka lang. Mabait sila."

I guide him inside and there are my parents and brother waiting.

"Good evening. Mam, Sir." Marco also gives my Mom a bouquet of flowers. "Thank you, hijo." Mom and Dad asked him a few questions. "Let's continue this conversation at dinner.

Mom guide him so me and my brother James is at there back follow them to the dinner area.

Nang makaupo ay katabi ko siya. Inabot ko ang mga food na pwede niyang kaibigan. "You want this?" It is a king crab. One of the food that Mom prepared.

"Yes, please."

"So how's being back at the school?" Mom asked him. "It's good to be back since its been awhile since the last time I go to a real school. I'm always home school or online."

Tumango naman si Mom sa kanya. Naalala ko sabi nga pala niya na ang natatandaan niyang huling beses siyang pumasok sa real school ay grade 4 pa. Bago siya mag simula ng career.

"My Mom choose online schooling for me since I become busy after giving a big role at my first movie."

Tahimik lamang akong nakain habang nag uusap sila. Parang iniinterview na nila si Marco base sa mga tanong nila. Konti na lang iisipin ko ng sinusubaybayan ng parents ko ang buhay nito.

"What about now? I think you're more busier than before."

He drink at his red wine. "I have scheduled that I have to follow so that I can fit everything in one day." He told me that before. That is why I am asking him first if he's busy or not before asking him to go out.

Napansin kong kanina pa nag vivibrate ang phone niya na minute niya din. "Bat di mo sagutin? Baka emergency yan or something. Bulong ko ng napunta kay kuya ang attention nila.

"It's fine. This is more important. This call can wait." I nodded but I'm still doubting him. I feel like it's something important. Hindi ko na napansin kung may tumawag pang muli sa kanya dahil naiba na din ang attention ko. 

Pag katapos namin kumain ay nag kayayaan sa may entertainment area kung saan nag laro sila ng billiards habang kami ni mommy ay nanonood sa kanila. These boys are good at playing. 

"You like him, Mom?" I asked when she clap ng naka score si Marco.

"Yes, I do. He's kind and I used to watch his movies. I think he will take care of you the way you deserve to be treated. I can see it in his eyes." I smile as I look at Marco who's playing again.
