Chapter 7: Aleia

Chapter 7: Homecoming

Ngumiti siya sa akin. "I'm happy to be home again." Aniya at ginulo ang buhok ko.

How I missed this man.

"Ang tagal mo sa US! Akala ko nga patay ka na!!" Palahaw ko.

Natawa naman siya. Ayokong tumatawa siya dahil lalo siyang gumagwapo. "Don't be so morbid, Al. Besides anim na taon lang naman ah."

"Lang! Ang tagal kaya! It seemed forever to me." Reklamo ko.

Habang nakatitig ako kay Nathaniel ay gusto kong maiyak. His absence took a big part of me. No man can fill his space in my heart. This man is fucking precious to me!

But his absence is kind of an advantage to be honest. At least wala siya dito nang last year ko sa senior high. If Shin overreacted, Nate would have been enraged. Buti nalang talaga. Baka nakapatay kung sakali ang isang 'to.

"Sooo... how's life without me?" Tanong ni Nate at saka umupo sa couch ko.

"Great! You think kawalan ka?" Sagot ko saka tumawa ng nakakaasar.

"Really? That's interesting. Last time we're together, you're practically begging me to stay." He mocked

Feeling ko sobrang pula na ng mukha ko.

"What a jerk! Kailan naman yan nangyari ha?" I denied kahit alam ko namang totoo iyon.

Tumayo si Nate at lumapit sa akin saka ginulo ang buhok ko.

"What the fuck?!" Reklamo ko naman.

Naglakad pa ito papasok sa kwarto ko. I followed him and I saw him checkinh out my room.

"Since when did you start printing craps  for a living?" Pang-aasar niya.

Hinablot ko ang invitations at inismidan siya. "This is none of your business."

"Still not going home, kiddo?" Sabi niya habang sinisipat ang kwarto ko.

"Then what? Being the heiress of stinky boats? Come on!" Umismid ako

"Stubborn as always, huh? If you're not going home then what's your plan? You're not getting any younger, you know."

"I'm gonna cross the bridge when I get there, okay? Stop messing around, Nate." I said with a grimace.

Ayoko kasing pinag-uusapan ang future. Naiistress ako. I just go with the flow. That's what kind of person I am.

"O baka naman umuwi ka dahil inutusan ka nila dad na kumbinsihin ako. You know you can't force me to go home." I accused him while raising my brow.

"You're being funny, Al." Aniya at tumawa. "Nagsawa na ako sa buhay sa states kaya umuwi ako. It's nothing to do with you." Dagdag pa niya.

Nakahinga ako ng malalim. "Sakit mo naman magsalita."

"I'm just being real, drama queen." Pang aasar pa niya. "Tsaka model ka ng model kala mo naman kinaganda mo yan." Sabi pa nito saka tumawa ng nakakainsulto.

KUPAL TALAGA ANG BWISET!!

"Gago ka Nate ha!" Asar na sigaw ko.
