"Ly Try this. Omg." Bang exclaimed as she gave Alyssa tuna maki.
"It's so good. Who made this?" Alyssa asked.
"Si Dad. You want to meet him?" Bang asked.
"Later nalang. Hindi pa ako nakakaget over kay Mommy mo." Bang laughed
"Kinilig ka lang."
"Huy." Alyssa said at sinundot sa tagiliran si Bang.
"Aray." Bang exclaimed
"Ano ha." Alyssa continued tickling Bang when someone cleared her throat.
"Ehem." They look at the person standing beside them. No scratch that. People.
"I'm sorry." Alyssa said and wear her poker face.
"Hey Ara." Bang called Ara.
"Hey Babe." Vic said and kissed Bang's cheek.
"She's Aly. Blockmate ko." Bang introduce Alyssa
"Hi Pare" Ara said and offered her hand. Alyssa shook their hands
"Aly. Aly Caymo."
Ara quickly pull her hand at pinunas pa ito sa pants nya.
"By the way BABE. They are my Friends. MOM told me to invite them." Ara said while Emphasizing Babe and Mom.
"She's Ella, Dennise, Dzi, Mika, and Fille." Ara introduced her friends.
"Nice meeting you all." Bang said and sweetly smiled at them.
Alyssa shifted her gaze to the petite lady standing beside a slightly chubby lady
"They must be the two ladies sa cafe." She said to herself.
"Dennise." She suddenly mumbled and everyone looked at her.
"Uhm. I mean. Hi Everyone." She said and smile slightly.
"Bang I need to use the wash room. Excuse me." Alyssa excused herself and entered the wash room.
"What the heck did you do??" She asked herself.
"Goddamnit she's so Gorgeous." She said at mahinang pinukpok ang ulo sa pader.
"Fuck fuck fuck. Nakakahiya. Anong iisipin nun?" She said.
"What the f—-" she was about to curse when someone knocked on the door.
"Alyssa are you okay?" She hear Bang's voice. She suddenly felt relieve.
"Yes. Uhm wait for a while."
She said at naghilamos. She was so damn hot wearing white button down polos and pants. Damn it. Kahit sino siguro ay magpapa lahi sa kanya.
"Hey." She said while looking at the lady on the door.
"Let's go." Bang said at hinila ang kamay ni Alyssa.
They quickly sat on the table near the buffet table.
Alyssa was sitting beside Bang. Hindi naman ito makatingin sa mga tao sa paligid nya dahil sa kahihiyan at katangahan na ginawa nya kanina.
"Uhm Aly tell us about yourself."
Ella started
"Huh? Me?" Alyssa said and pointed herself.
"Obvious ba? Ikaw lang naman ang Aly dito." Dzi said and they all laughed.
"Ah I'm sorry."
"Im Alyssa Caymo. Im 20" She said shyly.
"Yun lang?" Mika asked.
"Uhm I live in Sumulong." Alyssa said again.
"Sa Squatters Area ba Pare?" Ara asked and the three laughed.
Hindi naman napigilan ni Bang ang sarili.
"Hi Guys. The last time i checked. Bahay ko ito and wala kayong rights to disrespect my friend. Ang yayaman nyo nga ang popobre naman ng attitude nyo. Sorry not sorry pero mas matino pa itong nasa squatters area kesa sa mga nasa exclusive village na kagaya nyo. Excuse me. I lose my apetite." Bang said at umalis ito.
"Im sorry Alyssa. I should've not asked you." Ella apologize
"Its fine. Totoo naman yun." Alyssa said and she also excused herself
Sinundan nya naman si Bang.
"Im sorry Ly. Kung alam ko lang na ganto ang mangyayari. Sana hindi na kita pinilit pa."
"Shh. Okay lang Bang. See i got to meet your Mom. And hindi na mahalaga ang sasabihin nila okay? Kilala ko ang sarili ko." Alyssa re assured bang.
"You're so kind talaga. Huhu im so lucky to have you as my motivator slash tutor slash best friend." Bang said.
"Shh. Hayaan mo na okay. I got myself."
"Gago ka. I got you too Unggoy."
"Uy Grabe talaga sa Unggoy ha."
"Sige na nga. Poging Unggoy." Bang said at dumila pa ito kay Aly. Napatawa naman ang huli.
Inakbayan nito si Bang.
"Thank you Bang."
"Huh? For what?"
"For always being there for me. At sa pagintindi saakin."
Sinuntok nya naman sa tagiliran si Alyssa.
"Unggoy ka talaga. Im always here for you! Saka yung Estado sa buhay. It doesn't define you as a person. Fuck you ka. Kaya magsikap kapa at next year gagraduate na tayo!" Pagsermon ni Bang dito.
"Opo Madam."
"Dapat lang Unggoy."
"Seriously Bang. Thank you sa lahat." Seryosong saad ni Bang.
"Wala yun Ly. Im always here." She said and the Latter just kissed the top of her head.
And someone watched how they care for each other. It was none other than... Dennise.
