ALLIE

Sa lahat naman ng pwedeng makita, pamilya pa niya. Eto namang lalaking ito parang cool na cool lang nung makita niya sila. Everyone interviewed us kung how and when did we meet. Pero tong si Daniel hindi man lang niya ako tulungan sa mga sagot nakakainis!

Ang ending tuloy nun eh  ako lahat ang sumagot. Hindi niya ako pinapansin nakikipag usap siya sa isang pinsan niya about business. Kinausap ako ng Dad niya pati ng Mom niya. Then si D, yung brother niya. Guapo din siya, tall and mukhang mabait. 

"Hello Allie."

"Hi."

"So, how did you meet that monkey?"

"Monkey? Hehehe we met at the party of a common friend."

"Hmmm. Ok, what did you like about him? He looks very boring and talks about Business all the time."

"I don't know. Mabait siy?"

"Masungit yan."

"How old are you na pala,if you don't mind me asking?"

"I'm 20."

"Aaahhh."

"Bakit di niya sinabi sa iyo ilan kami?"

"Sinabi. You're 4, siya ang eldest. 3 boys, 1 girl"

"Yun lang?"

"Yes."

"Wala talaga to. Boring. I'm the 2nd child. I'm Diego, they call me Dee. Third is Maximus he's 18. Wala siya ngayon kasi nasa France siya, dun siya nag aaral. I am studying sa London, I'm taking up Music. Iba sa kanila lahat hahaha. And then Alessandrea or Drea is 13 siya ang youngest."

"Aaaahh okay."

"Hey guys, we're moving the party to Uncle Hector's house. Everyone's going."

Their cousins Marga said.

"Baka hindi kami makapunta kasi may curfew si Allie. Next time na lang. Sorry Uncle I need to bring her home before 10. She lives in Tagaytay pa naman."

"Hey, malapit lang sa atin. Allie maybe one day we could get together? Continue sa pinag uusapan natin?"

"Sure Diego."

"Uh-oh.... Someone is tryingnto make sulot."

"Hoy! Ano ba? Hindi ah. Friendly lang yung invitation ko."

"Di bale kuya D you look more handsome than Boring Giant. Mas bagay kayo ni Ate Allie."

"Hey, pinagkakaisahan niyo na ako ah. Come Allie uwi na tayo baka sulutin kanpa ni D, iyak pasko dito matutuwa pa sila."

They all laughed at him. After the goodbyes to everyone and his parents. I said goodbye to Diego who stood up and for besso sana then something happened, instead na sa pisngi kami mag besso ni D, sa lips nag landing yung besso niya. Every one became silent. Nagulat lahat especiallu ako and Diego. I looked at Dan but he was not looking. He did not see it.

"Uh-oh!!!!"

"I'm sorry Allie."

I was too shocked to answer. My face was burning and I wanted the ground to swallow me right at that very moment.

Dan looked around wondering what just happened. He looked at me and D. He frowned.

"Kuya D just kissed your girl"

Sabi ni Sam yung pinsan niyang 8 years old. Tinakpan ng auntie nila yung mouth ng bata. I looked at Dan and I saw a flicker of anger in his eyes. Mabilis lang yun...or did I just imagine that? He looked at his brother blankly.

"Kuya it was just an accident. Lumingon siya sa kabila kasi. Sorry Allie."

"It's okay. Di naman sinasadya yun. Daniel let's go"

"Dan!"

That was his Dad.

"Ingat ka kasi Bro. Iniingatan ko yang si Allie eh. Mamaya usap tayo may ipapagawa ako sa iyo. You better not drink at kakausapin kita."

And he said goodbye to everyone again. He took my hand and squeezed iy. Di ko alam kung ano meaning nun squeeze na yun. Hindi siya umiimik hanggang sa car. Teka, hibdi ko naman siya boyfriend para may karapatan magalit. Aaah aktingan lang talaga to. When we got in the car, I have to be the first to bteak the silence and remind him hindi niya ako girlfriend.

"I don't know kung maiiyak ako or maiinis eh."

He looked at me he looked mad and inis pero when I smiled at him to remind him na teka lang hindi totoo ang relasyon natin..

"Why?"

"Sana di nanlang tayo nag Shakey's"

"Ikaw eh, yun gusto mo."

"That was my first kiss. Kahit smack lang yun."

"Yung D talaga na yun matulis sa mga girls eh."

"Akala nila galit ka na."

" Hahaha ganun naman sila talaga eh. Akala nila galit ako all the time."

"Nakapag practice na ba tayo properly?"

"Hindi."

"Oo nga kasi, hindi pa natin na try mag hug properly."

"Do we need to hug?"

"Eh di ba sabi mo we need to be convincing na couple tayo?"

"Okay naman how you look at me na parang in love eh. Pag hinug mo ako, look at me na din na parang in love."

"Kaso nahihiya ako na ihug ka."

"You want to practice? Hahahaha."

"Pinagtatawanan mo ako eh."

"Hahaha sige sige hindi na. San tayo magpapractice?"

"Her in your car."

"May makakita sa atin sabihin nilang ina abuse kita or sabihing baliw tayo."

"Turn off the light."

"Okay ka lang? Abobg turn off?"

"Eh you said makikita tayo."

"Haynaku, hindi ko alam kunh bakit ako pumapayag sa iyo eh. Wait lang....may bayad pala tong services ko sa iyo"

"Ano?"

"Model for my conpany. My ala Resort's World hotel. You don't need to do a lot. Magsasalita ka lang. And also I'll pay you."

"Sige."
