Twin Hearts

Chapter 13

KATH'S POV:

 

"Kath, siguro naman hindi mo na hahanapin yung 'twin heart' mo. Anjan na si Quen oh." Tuloy pa rin ng litanya ni Achi. Napaalala nya pa tuloy yung about sa 'destiny' ko na hindi ko na masyado naiisip these past days.

I was about to answer that when Enrique cut through.

"Twin heart?"

That made all of us look at him. He looked curious.

Si Achi na yung sumagot. "Hay naku, some weird stuff that Kath believed in. Pero i'm pretty sure makakalimutan nya na yon. Diba Quen?" she even smiled and winked at my boyfriend.

My boyfriend.

Wow. Parang kailan lang, gusto kong isumpa ang lahi ni Quen hanggang sa apo nya sa tuhod, pero ngayon, mukhang ako din pala ang magiging great grandmother ng apo na yon. Talk about irony.

I just forced a smile to Enrique. He shrugged. I needed not elaborate Kathryn's explanantion. Isa pa, baka ma-offend si Quen kapag humaba ang usapan tungkol sa destiny ko.

Kung nasaan ka man, Twin Heart ko, jan ka na lang ha? I'm happy now.

Naramdaman ko na lang na hinawakan ni Quen yung isang kamay ka sa mesa.

"Of course. Hindi nya na maiisip yon. Give me a couple of days, baka makalimutan nya na totally yung guy na yon," he even squeezed my hand gently and smiled at me.

"Naks naman..." Achi commented. "So saan ang first date nyo as boyfriend-and-girlfriend?"

I pouted. "Kailangan pa ba i-set? Lagi na din naman kaming magkasama.."

"Oo naman! Important lahat ng first noh. First boyfriend mo 'to si Quen, syempre dapat special din ang first date, first picture, first -"

"First kiss?" Quen rebutt.

I saw Achi suddenly blushed. Tapos biglang lumipad yung tingin nya kay Enrique. Natameme din naman yung boyfriend nya then cleared his throat.

"B-basta." Biglang yun na lang yung nasagot ni Achi. I wanna laugh. Kanina ang daldal nya, tapos biglang natahimik?

"Alam ko na," si Quen nanaman. Yes, parang sila na lang ang nag uusap. "Mag double-date kaya tayo?"

"Quen!" sabay na sabay na saway namin ni Enrique. Both of us looking at Quen as if he said something really unacceptable. On my part, hello, ang baduy kaya nun! And ang awkward noh! Pano yun, magsu-sweet-sweetan kami sa harap nung dalawa? Nyay. Feeling ko, yun din ang naisip ng kakambal nya.

"Fine! Hindi na. Nagsusuggest lang eh," Quen snuggled me closer to him and rubbed the tip of his nose to my hair. Ang cute sana pero... nakatingin yung dalawa sa min.

Aish...

Maya-maya, tinapos na din namin yung dinner. Kami ni Achi yung nag ayos ant naghugas nga plato and sabay din namin hinatid sina Quen at Enrique sa gate.

Nauna na sa kotse sina Achi. Naiwan kami ni Quen sa front door.

"Bye na. Ingat kayo ha?" i told him.

He hugged me by the waist and kissed my forehead. "Yes, baby love. Text kita pag nasa bahay na kami."

"Okay."
