"Dad." I turned around and watch travis as he smirked playfully.
"Can't go out with that brat. I'm with... someone," he arrogantly told the man in front of us.
"Hope you dont mind." I didn't miss the cocky tone on his voice.I gasped in disbelief. Are they in bad terms? Just when I'm about to turn to see his dad's reaction, travis hold my hand and pulled me inside the big door.
"T--rav? Is he your father?" I asked him. He gently nod.
"Yeah! I'm sorry. Didn't had a chance to introduce you.. How rude of me." he acted as if he really was sorry. I snort. If I know sinadya niya iyon!
"Come on travus. You can't fool me." I told him as I shook my head. Tumatawa lang ito habang iginaya niya ako paupo sa hapag. Tsh! This guy!
"Kumain kana señorita dahil may pupuntahan pa tayo." he reminded me.
Ito na'rin ang naglagay ng pagkain sa plato ko. Just when I'm about to take my meal when I heard a pitchy voice outside the dining room.
"Travis baby!" agad akong napalingon no'ng may tumili sa gilid ko. Nakita ko ang babaing maybe around seventeen or eighteen years old? I don't know she looks younger than me. She looking so pretty with here pink lacy dress and white canvas shoes. Her white milky skin and her natural curly long hair suit her cute face really good. I heard travis sigh harshly.
"What the hell are you doing here!?" he rudely asked. Nakunot-noo ako. Bakit ang sungit nitong lalaki to?
"Is it bad? I haven't see you for three days. I m--miss you." she told travis with pouted lips. Ugh this girl is so cute!
Tumingin ako kay tarvis at kamuntik pa akong mapahalak-hak nang nakita ko ang pumula ng buong mukha nito.
Hmmm I smell something fishy!
Napailing ako habang pinipigilang matawa sa reaction nito."Xirksy, umuwi kana sa inyo." ani travis sabay iwas ng tingin at kamot sa batok. Napa-halakhak ako. Kinilig ba' to? Kilalaking tao parang babae kung kiligin.
Nang matigil ako kakatawa ay tumingin ako sa babaing nasa may gilid ko. Kita ko ang pamumula ng pisngi nito kaya tumayo ako at lumapit dito.
"Hi! I'm faith you are?" sabi ko sabay lahad ng aking kamay. Kita ko ang pag-aalangan sa mukha nito bago nito kinuha ang kamay ko.
"H--helo, ahm. I'm Xirksy Alcober." sabi nito na may pilit na ngiti sa labi.
"Are you kuya travis... Uhm- friend?" I playfully asked and bit my lower lip to stop my self from laughing.
"No. I'm his fiance." sa gulat ko ay mabilis kung nabitawan ang kamay nitong naka hawak sa akin.
"W--what the!? Fiance?" she nod. Shock is written all over my face.
"How old are you? You look younger than me." ang bata pa nito may fiance na? Baka ma child abuse itong si travis pag nagkataon!"Shut-it brat! Umuwi kana sa inyo bago pa kita ma-pakain sa alaga kong tigre!" galit na utos ni travis kay xirksy. Kita ko sa mata ni xirksy ang gulat ng sabihin iyon ni travis.
"B-but --."
"No more buts! Go home and don't ever come back!" hinila ako ni travis palabit sa kanya at nikayap, sa gulat ko ay hindi ako nakapag react.
"I just.. m-iss you so much.. " mahinag bulong ni xirksy na rinig naman naming lahat. Nanginginig ito at kita ko ang pag-agos ng luha nito. Parang may sumuntok sa dibdib ko nang makita ko ang mukha ni xirksy na halatang nasasaktan. Paano kaya pag-dumating ang panahon na magmahal ako tapos ipagtabuyan ako ng taong mahal ko. Ang sakit naman siguro 'nun.
