Saving Summer (BTSXBlackPink)

13 - Summer rain

The next day, it's Saturday, napag isip-isip ko na sabihin kay Terrence ang sinabi sa akin ni ate Prie. I told Jennie and Maddie all about it, but all I get was laughter. Hindi sila naniwala sa sinabi ko, and they said that my father doesn't look like someone who would do things like that.

I know him better than anybody else, and I needed someone to talk to. Someone who knows him too.

At 3:30 PM, hinintay ko sila Terrence sa tapat ng cabin nila. Umupo ako sa steps ng porch at nakalumbabang naghintay because I know na makakabalik na sila galing sa hiking nila ng mga 4:00PM.

I was thinking about what my sister told me, about having a butler. I mean... what the actual fudge? I don't need a butler. I don't need someone reporting every move I make to my father. Katulad rin ba ito ng mga katulong ni papa sa mansion niya? Naka uniporme ng itim, at susunod sa'yo kung saan ka man mag punta?

"Oh, Hi."

Napalingon ako sa aking lukiran nang narinig kong bumukas ang screen door ng cabin nila at isang topless na Mikhael ang lumabas mula rito. Kaya napatayo ako ng di-oras.

"Hi. Sorry, I was just waiting for someone." I tried my best not to look at his well-toned body, but I found myself examining his whole body.

"Ah. Si Terrence?" He threw his white t-shirt on his shoulder as he leaned forward on the safety rails of the porch. "Nag-hiking sila. Pabalik na rin siguro 'yung mga 'yun, umupo ka muna d'yan sa upuan d'yan, o."

I know why Jennie likes this man. He's charismatic and he's nice. Who would dare to hate this guy? Though I heard Jennie and Maddie hating his group. Siya lang daw ang kaaya-aya sa grupo nila.

"Thank you, but I'm fine here." I smiled. Umupo ulit ako sa kanina kong inuupuan- sa steps.

"Sabi mo, e." He smiled back. He even has dimples. Well, what can I say? He's cute. "Kayo ba ni Terrence?"

"Ah?" I wasn't expecting that question, especially coming from Mikhael. We're not that close, and I barely know him.

"Nakita ko lang kasi kung paano ka tumingin sa kaniya. Medyo nakikita ko ang sarili ko sa'yo."

"You like someone?" I turned my head to him over my shoulder. Trying to change the topic.

"Oo, e. Kaso mukhang walang pag-asa." He chuckled.

"Would you mind telling me?" I smiled.

He hesitated for a while, shaking his head, showing his deep dimples. "Ipangako mo munang 'di mo sasabihin."

"I promise."

"Jennie." He said.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. Jennie likes him, and he likes her too but they didn't know. Gosh, ang gandang ipagsigawan.

"Iba kasi ang dating niya, e. Nakilala ko siya three years ago noong baguhan palang kami dito sa summer camp na 'to. Napansin ko lang siya noong first time namin mag movie marathon, naalala ko Saturday rin 'yun. Siya lang 'yung naka-pajama dati at may facial mask sa mukha. Ang cute cute niya. Sabi ko sa sarili ko na kakausapin ko siya pag natapos ang summer na 'yun. Kaso hindi ko nagawa, natakot ako. Nagpatuloy 'yun hanggang umabot ng tatlong taon. Kaya ngayon gusto kong mapalapit sa kaniya at kahit sana makausap ko siya..." I watched Mikhael's eyes glistened as he talks about Jennie, he was so passionate and sincere. Ganito rin ba si Terrence tuwing kinukwento niya ako sa mga kaibigan niya? Would his eyes glistened, tulad ng kay Mikhael?

"Sabihin mo nga, hindi ka ba natakot sa kaniya noong una mo siyang nakilala?" Tanong niya.

"Well, to be honest... I'm scared of people in general. So to answer your question, yes, I was scared of her. She and Maddie were a lot different. I honestly think that Maddie is more approachable. But when you get to know her, you'll see she's very caring in her own ways." I replied.
