About You

XXIV.

"Pre, ngumungiti ka na naman mag-isa jan?"

"Oo nga pre, aminin mo nga nasisiraan ka na ba ng bait?"

"Tss." It's better to ignore them, that's why I continued scrolling on my phone.

"Hwag ka magalala pre, tanggap ka pa rin namin kahit baliw ka na." Llyndon even tapped my shoulder. Gago talaga tong mga to.

"Mga siraulo, I'm not insane okay? Hwag nyo ko itulad sa inyo!"

Agad akong binato ni Iris ng popcorn, ang takaw nya talaga. Pansin nyo ba, lagi na lang pagkain ibinabato sa akin ng lokong to? Syempre di ako papatalo no, binato ko sya ng choco balls na binili ni Maxwell.

"Ay shit pare! Not my choco balls!"
Hehe wala na, I already threw a piece of his chocolate.

"Guys stop wasting the food."

"Sorry po Tay haha" sabay naming sabi ni Iris kay Llyndon.

After calming ourselves, Iris put an arm around my shoulder. "Tell me pre, anong nangyari ha? Bakit biglang nagbago aura mo?"

"Oo nga, you've been extra hyper this past few days. Lagi ka pang nakangiti." usyuso ni Maxwell.

"At lagi ka pang may katext sa phone mo. Well given naman na si Heart yun, but we're still curious. Are you two perfectly okay now? May progress na ba sa inyong dalawa?" Llyndon also said his side.

Bago pa ako makasagot, Iris snapped his fingers kaya nabaling sa kanya ang atensyon namin.

"Aha! Speaking of Heart, Madi said that she's also extra blooming now. She said that Heart is glowing at lagi din daw may katext sa phone nya. Madi even heard that Heart is happily talking to you on the phone. So, may dapat ba kaming malaman tungkol sa inyong dalawa ni Heart, ha Mr. Jimenez?"

All there curious eyes were on me waiting for something that can satisfy there curiosity.

"Kami na ulit ni Heart."

On cue, there jaw dropped, seriously mukha silang tanga haha "Ano? Bakit ganyan mga itsura nyo?"

"Shit seryoso ba?"

"Weh? Totoo?"

"Saan? Kailan? Paano?"

I just shrugged my shoulders, aalis na sana ako pero hinigit nila ako ulit paupo.

"Hoy! Magkwento ka muna!" bulyaw sakin ni Max. Iris and Llyndon nodded at wala na akong nagawa kung hindi magkwento. Except the part about Heart's illness. Ayaw nya pa kasing ipaalam yun sa kahit sino and I respect that.

I saw how my squad arched their brows when they heard my story. Parang di sila naniniwala. Specially Iris na kung makatingin akala mo may ninakaw ako sa kanya.

"Yun na yon? You're telling us na dinala mo sya sa park, then a lot of orange things surrounded you tapos nagusap kayo ang finally she agreed to be with you again?"

"Exactly."

Llyndon shrugged, "She gave in that easily? As in ganun na lang yon?"

Tsk. "Kung ayaw nyo maniwala, bahala kayo. What's important to me is that we're together again at masaya kami."

"Naks naman! Haha sabagay, well congrats pre! Masaya kaming masaya ka." nakipag fistbump sakin si Max while Llyndon tapped my shoulder. "Congrats! May lovelife ka na ulit! Haha."

Ginulo naman ni Iris ang buhok ko. "Kahit di ako naniniwala na ganun lang yung nangayari-"

"Iris!"
