MARA's POV
"So.. did you make up na?" Kinukulit na naman ako ni Yana. Kanina pa yan eh. Kausap ko sina Tita at tito kanina ay hiniram talaga ako para maki-chismis.
"Ewan. He seems so.. cold!" I hissed. Nakakainis na kaya sya. Hindi man lang niya ako winelcome!
"Hays.. Ewan.. Ewan ko nalang talaga. Isang torpe at isang manhid. Perfect combination!" Walang gana niyang saad bago tumalon sa pool. Andun din ang mga Samaniego na nagkukulitan.
"Mars! Come here! Let's play chicken fight!" Ate Sia said habang umaayos ng upo sa balikat ni Kuya Ash. For sure di yan mahuhulog. Parang sofa balikat ni Kuya Ash eh.
"Come on, Darling.. ikaw naman." Kuya Mau assisted Ate Heidi. Waaah! sweet!
"Kuya Zander, umayos ka!" Sigaw ni Yana ng pabiro syang sinu-sway ni Zander.
Kuya Aire and Ate Val didn't join. I wanted to join kaso wala akong partner kaya sitting pretty lang ako dito.
"Drei! Partner kayo ni Mara." Utos ni Tita Cassy na may dala-dalang camera. Nagsilapitan na rin ang iba pang elders na tumatawa pa. Tuwang tuwa talaga sila eh.
"Hold on tight, baka mahulog ka." Litanya niya.
Nahulog na.
Matagal na.
"Matagal na yang nahulog! Sayo nga lang!" Athan shouted as if it's something that should be announced. Narinig niya kasi, pano ba naman nakaupo lang sya sa tabi ko.
"Manahimik ka nga, Ath!" sita ko sa kanya tsaka sya tinapunan ng tubig.
"Bakit hindi ba?" I can feel everyone's stare. Namumula na rin ang mukha ko and I know, they are waiting for my answer.
"Teka, bakit napunta sakin? Maglaro nalang tayo!" Pag-iiba ko ng topic.
Baka san pa to mapunta eh.
"Why don't you answer it? Nahulog ka na ba?" I glared at Andrei na syang nagtanong.
I heard someone scoffed and some giggles.
Narinig ko pa si Tita Cass at Tita Clau na nagbubulungan.
"Ikaw, Drei? Are you still falling? O you already fall out?" Naghahamon kong tanong.
"I said I'll wait. I keep my words. May prinsipyo akong tao. Ikaw siguro." Seryoso niyang sabi habang matalim akong tinitititigan which I am also doing. I shouldn't be swayed by his heart melting stares. Akala niya ah!
"Anak ko yan.." I heard tito Alejandro whispered.
"I kept on hurting for years and now that I finally have the chance to have the man I love, you think, I'll still back down?"
I heard ate Sia's 'ayiieehh' and ate val's ' ang drama ah' pero I ignored them. Just let them be, Mara. I remained staring at Andrei's tantalizing eyes.
"Then why did you just ignore me?" Tanong niya. Ako pa talaga ha? Eh, ang cold nga niya nung nagkita kami eh!
"Why did you acted like I was just a someone?" balik kong tanong sa kanya! I heard their 'oohh' and 'yun!' pero hindi ko lang sila pinansin.
A question for a question?
You think you can scare me, Andrei?
"o? Tapos na kayo? Gutom na ako, kain muna tayo." I was about to say something when Kuya Aire spoke.
We all laughed and they all went to the buffet. Naiwan kami ni Andrei na natatawa nalang. How stupid were we?
"So, you still love me?" He asked.
"I will always love you." walang pag-aalinlangan kong sagot.
Always.
"Let's not break up, okay?" Childish..
And I love it.
I smiled at him.
"Promise!" and by that, I felt his lips on mine.
Officially..
I'm in love with my bestfriend...
and he is with me too..
"WOOOH! SPG MASYADO! MAY MGA FETUS DITO!!" Natawa nalang kami sa sinigaw ni Athan...
I love this family so much.
