Sheiia
I started to become observant of Matthew's movements. Hindi ko muna sinabi kay Ash ang hinala ko regarding kay Matthew dahil ayokong magreact agad ito. Alam ko namang may kainitan ang dugo nito pagdating sa lalaki.
It's been a week since that day I overheard Matthew's phone call convo sa CR. Nandito pa rin ang kaba sa puso ko pero pinipilit kong labanan. Mas lalo pang nagtrigger ang hinala ko kay Matthew ng may nakita akong note sa loob ng locker ko. It's from the psycho again. Hinawakan ko ang aking hikaw.
Damn, how am I going to find you?!
If Matthew has something to do with this, what's his motive? Why is he doing this to me? Questions I don't know the answer.
It's Sunday and my parents are at home. Two days sila dito kasi may board meeting daw sa office bukas and they're needed.
Pababa ako ng sala para gumawa ng sandwich when I stiffened at what I saw. Nasa sala sina Ash kasama ang iba pang barkada nila ni Kuya! My smile faded as I saw her smiled at me.
Damn, is this what she's telling me about earlier?
Nagtext kasi siya asking me if I'm home. I replied yes and why, she just texted me back an I love you. Yun pala, pupunta pala silang magkakaibigan dito sa bahay!
"Hi Sheiia!" Marcus and Xander greeted in chorus. Natawa nalang sina Derick at Ate Mari kasi may pakaway kaway pa ang dalawa sa akin.
I automatically looked at Ash and then to Kuya Gid. Kuya just shrugged off his shoulders and smirked.
Oh well, why do I have a brother like him?
"Ate Mari!" I smiled and waved at Ate Mari na ikinasimangot naman nina Marcus at Xander. Si Ash naman ay natawa lang sa ginawa ko. Derick just drank his juice.
"Ash, why is your girlfriend like that?" Marcus pouted as he asked my girlfriend. Tinampal lang ito ni Ash sa braso bilang sagot.
"Hey, your mouth Marcus. Mom and Dad's here!" Sansala ni Kuya sa sasabihin pa sana ni Marcus.
"You didn't tell me you're here." Nakabusangot na sabi ko kay Ash nang makalapit sa kanila. I stopped at few inches from her position.
"Thought I'd surprised you. I just want to see you."
My face literally dropped at what she said. Mukha na siguro akong kamatis sa sobrang pamumula ng aking mukha ngayon. Kahit si Ate Mari nakita kong natanga din sa narinig. The boys are letting out their playful smirks.
"Hey! Kelan ka pa naging cheesy na ganyan Ash Melendrez?" That was Kuya. Nanumbalik ako sa huwisyo dahil sa sinabi nito. Hindi ko tuloy alam paano magreact sa pasabog nito.
The laughters stopped when we saw Dad coming downstairs. Kasama nito si Mom pababa ng hagdan. Kuya's friends greeted them as well. Tumango lang si Dad bilang sagot samantalang si Mom ay sumagot ng bati.
Dad stopped when he saw Ash. Hindi ko alam pero parang may naramdaman akong kakaiba sa tinginan nilang dalawa. I totally forgot about the sandwich I planned to make.
"Ashley." Dad muttered her name but I heard it vividly. It doesn't look like a normal greeting. It looked like a-
Warning?
Mas lalo akong kinabahan nang tingnan ako ni Dad. "Go to your room, Sheiia."
Then they left. Nagpaalam si Mom pero hindi ko na nasagot pa dahil paulit-ulit sa isipan ko ang sinabi ni Dad.
