Chapter 3

"Catherine!" Tita Marj approached me with a hug.

"Hi tita!" I hugged her back.

Nandito kami ni Ike sa bahay nila, family dinner daw eh.

Pumasok na kami at dumeretso sa dining area.

"Bihis muna ako," Paalam ni Ike and let go of my waist na kanina niya pang hinahawakan.

"Sure,"

Tinulungan ko si Tita sa mga plates and utensils, Tito Paolo isn't home yet.

"So, how's school, hija?" Tita Marj started.

"School's fine naman po, Tita.."

"Si Ike? How is he?"

"He's doing well with his studies naman po, and also with his sport." I said.

Comfortable naman ako sa parents ni Ike since we've met before we were together.

"That's good to hear,"

I looked at tita and realized that something was bothering her.

So I asked, "Tita, may problema po ba?"

She smiled bitterly, "Well you see--"

"Is dinner ready?" Ike interrupted and hugged me from behind.

Tita looked relief when Ike arrived.

"I'll go check on it," Tita then left us at the dining area.

But still, those looks from Tita Marj's eyes were bothering me.

Nagising ako sa sobrang sakit ng ulo ko, I feel so sick.

Tumakbo ako papuntang banyo and puked.

When I finished, lumabas ako ng kwarto. Nabigla, because Hanna was preparing breakfast, Mary preparing the table and Angelie fixing the living room.

"Good morning, Brey!" Mary hugged me.

"You were wasted last night, Brea." Hanna commented and shook her head.

"Sinundo ka nila Kyle and Brent kagabi." Lumapit na din si Angelie.

"W-what?" I asked trying to remember everything last night.

"Mamaya nayan!" Hanna interrupted. "Eat first, Brey!"

I sat down the table and drank my coffee.

Nilagyan ako ni Angelie ng Fried rice, scrambled eggs, and bacons.

"Anj, ang dami naman niyan." I said kasi feel ko di ko mauubos yan, "And I often eat breakfast na, eh."

"What? Kaya pala pumapayat ka na!" Ani Mary.

"Eat a lot, Brey. Ano ka ba!" Ani Hanna

"Okay,"

We started eating, masarap palang magluto tong si Hanna.

"So, what happened?" I asked.

"Oh, last night you were wasted." Simula ni Angelie, "Someone called my phone pero wala ako, either Mary or Hanna."

"Dumating si Isaac kahapon, you knew right?" Ani Hanna.

I felt like my heart stop pumping.

I slowly nodded.

"S-sorry--"

"No, it's okay," I said with a smile. "So what happened?" A fake one.

"We ate dinner together with them, all of us, we invited you, but I guess the signal went off, wala kana sa line eh." Ani Angelie.
