To Love Someone (SharDon)

KABANATA 22

What's mine

The next days went smooth for her. She became more comfortable with Donny and to their situation. Tila unti unti nang nagsisink in sa utak nya ang  katotohanan literal na girlfriend na talaga sya ng isang Donny Pangilinan.

Inaamin nyang hindi parin sya komportable sa atensyon at sa mga tingin na nasasalubong nya sa paligid whenever they are together walking around the school premises hand in hand and very close, unti unti nya narin namang sinasanay ang sarili sa ganoong set-up. The whole population of their school probably knows the fact that she is already Donny's girl.

Nilingon nya ang pag-ilaw ng kanyang cellphone na nakapatong sa kanyang nakabukas na libro. She's studying on the stone table waiting for Donny's call. Ang sabi nito ay susunduin daw sya nito pagkatapos ng klase nito. Maaga silang nadismiss dahil absent ang kanilang prof at nauna na kanina pa si Mariko sa kanya na may date daw kasama si Paul.

She's actually not sure what's going on between the two but she's sure na may namamagitan sa dalawa. Mariko is actually not the type of girl who would date single man several times ng hindi talaga ito interesado. Mariko would date boys a lot like almost everyday with different men but never stick to only one and go out several times with only one guy, so probably, the two must be exclusively dating for now; that's what she thinks.

Tinitingnan nya ang bagay na iyon bilang isang magandang pangitain. Because she really thinks Paul is a good influence and a life changing buddy to Mariko. Ang dating babae na nonstop pagdating sa pakikipagdate ay ngayon isa nalang ang lalaking dinidate. Mukhang may balak ng magseryoso ang kaibigan nya.

I'm on my way. See you, baby.

Ibinaba nya ang kanyang cellphone ng hindi nagrereply dito. She was about to continue reading her book when someone sat on the stone chair just in front of her.

A short-haired morena girl were scrutinizing her face and her body. Ang medyo chinita nitong mga mata na mas lumiit pa dahil sa cat eyeliner ay mas lalo pang naningkit dahil sa paraan ng pagtitig nito sa kanya. Ang maikli at makintab nitong buhok ay nakabraid sa gilid. She has a small narrow nose and her lips resembles someone she perfectly knows or so she thought.

"You're pretty."
The pretty girl smiled. Her accent is really good na sa tingin nya ay very fluent ito sa english.

She smiled awkwardly. Just seconds ago, the girl were looking at her and now already complimenting her. That's strange. No one never tried to talk to her and compliment her as a first approach to talk to her.

"Wait, you're not just pretty! You're a real cutie!"
The girl giggled and her voice were really sweet.

"Uh..T-thanks.."
Nauutal nyang pagpapasalamat dito.

"You know what? Kuya's taste in girls improved! I remember--"

"HANNAH!"
Parehas silang natigil at humarap sa kakadating lang na si Donny. Mabilis nitong hinakbang ang distansya sa pagitan ng kinatatayuan nito at ng lamesang bato kung nasaan sila.

"Oh, Hi too Kuya."
The girl sarcastically said to Donny.

Wait, KUYA?

This only means one thing. This girl is Donny's little sister! That's why she looked a bit of Donny! A little girl version of Donny!

"Why are you here!?"
Lumapit si Donny sa kinauupan nya kinabig ang kanyang ulo sa tiyan nito na para bang tinatago sya.

"Of course! To pay you a visit! And to finally meet your girl! You know that Dad and Mom and all of our siblings are really curious about who you always talk to--"
