CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX
<Alex’s POV>
Lunch at Hontiveros’ Residence.
Wow. Napakasaya ko. -.- seriously, masaya ako. Obvious na obvious ba?
Ang nanay ko, malaman lang na kila James ako pupunta, di na nagtanong. Ipinagtabuyan pa ako sa bahay. Pati si Kuya Xander. Bakit ganun? Kung hinahanap niyo naman sila K1 and K2, ayun, bumalik na sa mga dati nilang buhay. May boyfriend naman na daw ako na pwede magtanggol sakin. Di na daw sila kailangan. Hahaha. Nakakaloko magselos ang mga kuya ko. Pero sabi naman nila na kapag sinaktan ako ni Luke, susugod daw sila pauwi.
Speaking of Luke, dapat siya ang kasama ko ngayon eh. >.< Miss ko na ang Luke ko. T.T
“Alex! Come in! I’m glad you could make it!” maligayang bati sakin ni Tita Steph pagkabukas niya ng pinto sa bahay nila.
This house is way too familiar to me. Hindi pala sila lumipat ng ibang bahay.
“Of course, Tita. Anything for you.” Sabi ko naman.
“Sorry for the few messes there are. Di pa kasi ako tapos magpalinis ng bahay na to eh. Napakatagal na rin kasing hindi nalilinis.”
Oo nga po eh. 4 years.
“Anyway, I am really glad you’re here. Lunch is almost ready.”
“Ah, sige po.”
Pinatuloy niya kami sa sala nila.
“Mukhang magaling mangumbinsi ang Baby Jay-jay ko ah?” Tita pinched James’ cheek. I bit my lips to suppress a laugh.
“Mum, I’m already 16 years old. Stop treating me like I’m still akid.” He pulled his face away from his mother’s hand.
“Nonsense, honey, you’re 15 and half! Meaning you’re still a kid.”
“But—“
“End of conversation.”
James grunted. Now I know kung kanino niya nakuha yung pagiging taga-bara. Daig siya ni Tita eh. Nako, nagamit ko na nga ata lahat ng powers ko para wag lang tumawa eh.
“Yeah, Baby Jay-jay, it’s just nonsense.” I said slowly as I shook my head. I smiled really sweet. Yung tipong nakakaasar. “I mean, what’s wrong with Baby Jay-jay, Baby Jay-jay?”
“Shut up.”
“James Joseph!” Tita gaped, hand covering her open mouth.
“What?”
“That is rude!” saway ni tita.
“But—“
“Yes, Tita. Panay nga po ako sinusungitan niyan sa school eh.”
“Jay-jay?!”
“But—“
“Say. Sorry.” Tita said firmly.
“Fine. Sorry. Happy now?”
“Try being more sincere…”
“It’s okay, Tita. I know that he can be impossible.” I sympathetically said.
“Ugh, I know, right?”
“Uh, I’m still here!” angal ni james.
“Oh, yeah, yung lalaking panay ako inaaway sa school… nandyan ka pala?” I sarcastically said.
“Inaaway mo si Alex, jay?” Tita almost flipped.
I am really enjoying this.
“What—no! That’s a lie!”
