56> Ayaw Ko'g Kasuk-e

I feel so elated dihang gihatod ko ni Hendrix. Wala na lang siya modayon kay di pa sya andam makig-atubang nilang Papa ug Mama. Unya na lang kuno kung masettled na tanan. I hope wala nay kakulian pa aron naa na gyuy kami. Excited na baya ko mahimong girlfriend ni Hendrix. Ayiiiii...kamo mga besh excited sad mo?

"Good morning, Yumi! Nindota ug smile ah. You should smile more often."

"Hi Khalil, good morning pod. Ayaw ko'g atika sayo pa kaayo."

"Atik ba uy! I'm only saying the truth. Murag lahi ra gyud imong aura today."

"Lahi ba gud uy. Mao raman gud japon."

"Basta you look different. It seems like you're glowing."

"Hi Khalil."

"Hello Hazel!"

Naay insikon nga girl niduol namo. Murag karon pako kita ani niya. She's fair and tall nya gamay kaayo ug nawng. Nagtutok ra siyang Khalil murag nispaced out ug kalit after ni hello si Khalil niya. Hmmm...fan girl guro ni niya ay! Daghan baya gyud macrush aning Khalil sukad sauna ug usa nako. Pero nihupas nalang gyud akong pagbati niya.
"Oh, this is Yumi. Yumi I'd like you to meet Hazel. She's a transferee here."

"Hi there Hazel, welcome to CIS. Unsa ka nga grade?"

"It's a pleasure to meet you Yumi. Grade 10 pa ko."

"Ah ok. Kaila mo ni Khalil daan?"

"Ah no. I've just met him last week when I transferred here. He helped me find my classroom."

"I see. I hope you'll enjoy your stay here. Una nako ninyo ha kay mohapit pako ug library."

"Sige bye. Nice meeting you."

"Bye Yumi. See you around. Ihatod sa nako si Hazel sa iyang room."

Ug gibiyaan na nako sila. Nipaingon nako sa library. I browsed through the shelves on the farthest part of the library kay naa koy gipangita sa Filipiniana section. Naa koy nadungog nga nag-istorya pero hinay ra. Pagkuha nako sa libro gikan sa shelf, nikang-a ang shelf ug maoy nibantang sa akong panan-aw si Nur Eve nga naay kaistorya nga laki. Nagtalikod ang laki pero pamilyar kaayo iyang bayhon. Ug dihang nitingog siya nasuta nako kung kinsa. Dili si Hendrix mga besh wa mo katag-an. Si Iron iyang kaistorya ug seryoso kaayo sila.

I don't want to spy on them kay obviously maong dire sila mag-istorya kay dili sila gustong naay makadungog. I don't want to pry on their privacy kay bisan ug wa mi maayong tinagdan si Nur, amigo gihapon nako si Iron. Mopalayo na unta ko aron wa koy madungog sa ilang giistoryahan dihang medyo nidako ilang tingog. And even if di ko gustong maminaw, nakadungog gyud ko.

"But why did she transfer here? Nipalayo na gani ko nila! Isn't it enough that you're here too?"

"Come on Dee, don't be ridiculous! Everything is not about you!"

"Really Eve?! I just want to live a peaceful life away from all of you!"

"But you can never run away from us forever Dee. Don't you ever forget that we're family!"

"Family?! Did I hear you right? Kanus-a lang ta nahimong pamilya ha Eve? Basin ikaw ang nalimot on how you treated me! All of you!! I was never a family to you!"

"Come on Dee...it's all in the past. We're cousins."

Wait what?! Sakto ba to akong nadungog? Si Iron ug Nur Eve ig-agaw? Hala noh? Pero di man ni sila magtagad dire sa school. Oh well, sabagay ingon man pod si Iron nga gisalikway siya sa iyang pamilya on both sides. Mao sigurong they were hostile to each other. Pero di ba ingon man ni Ghenre nga pagwelcome party ni Nur Eve kay didto si Iron. That explains it. Whew! What a revelation mga besh!
