Bunch of MENDOZAs

Chapter 76

Xyzzy's POV

"Okay lang ba kayong dalawa ha?" I again asked them.

Weird. Weird ni Zahir at Raven ngayon. It's almost midnight and they appeared on my doorway. And the thing is, mukha silang mga ewan. Para silang natatae na ninenerbyos na hindi ko alam.

"You both relax." I said and hand them their milk and sat beside them. "Ano ba talagang problema? May nakaaway ba kayo? Tungkol ba 'to kay Ken?"

Talking about Ken, it's been a week at hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin siya nagpaparamdam. Well, all is well... for now. I don't know. Maski kay Andeng hindi siya nagpaparamdam. Which is really good.

"No ate. It's worse though." Zahir seriously answered.

Kinabahan na rin ako kaya tinitigan ko siya ng mabuti. "Ano ba talaga? 'Wag niyo 'kong paghulain parang awa niyo na. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko kapag may nangyaring masama sa inyo."

Nilagok naman lahat ni Raven yung gatas niya at nagkamot ng batok. "Ate kaya ayaw naming basta magsalita kasi baka 'pag nagkaalaman, madadamay kami... pati malamang si kuya Rain madadamay. Eh iba rin siyang magalit. Baka magkagulo na naman dito ate kapag-"

I raised my hand and shook my hand. "Raven, how will I know what to say if I don't even know what we are talking about?" I turned to look at Zahir and called his name in a warning tone.

He sighed and looked at his hands. "Ate, remember kuya Aki's girlfriend?"

"The one who's abroad?" I asked and he nodded.

"Ate kuya Aki's cheating." He answered worriedly.

"Okay?" I said and paused for a while. "What is it to you if he's not being serious with the girl? Though I understand na baka kayo ang nasasaktan for the girl but why does it concerns me?"

"Because we don't know what to do." Raven desperately said.

"Bakit sobrang big deal-"

"Because the girl I saw he was kissing was Sam."

And Zahir's words made me stop. Literally stopped.

"Are you certain of that?" I whispered.

"Joking this way isn't good at all." He answered.

"But, are you sure that it's Sam he was kissing? Baka naman napagkamalan mo lang."

"Ate, medyo tanga si Zahir pero malinaw mata nito." Raven said and smiled.

Nainis na naman si Zahir kaya agad ko siyang hinala palapit sa 'kin. "Where did you see them? When? How?"

He sighed. "The first time I saw him with other girl, but I wasn't sure yet that it's Sam, was when I went to bring Annie to her friend's place. Since then I started stalking kuya Aki. I know it's wrong but the girl was really familiar so... I again saw him at the back gate yesterday with Sam."

I closed my eyes for seconds and breathed heavily. How can they do those? Zaine loves Sam. I know.

"Akala ko ba matagal na si Aki at yung girlfriend niya?" I asked.

"Oo. Bakit? Nakukuha ba sa tagal 'yan?" Raven asked back.

I sighed, again. "Okay. Now what should we do?"

Bago pa may makapagsalita sa 'min bumukas ang pinto at nakita namin si Aki na nakatitig sa 'min.

I immediately stood and gulped. Trouble? Riot.

"Of course you would them." He coldly said to Zahir.

"Why wouldn't I? Pasalamat ka nga hindi ko kay kuya Zaine agad sinabi." Zahir angrily said and stood as well.
