Chapter 48: Reunion

CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT

 
SOUTHERN's POV

"Ate! We are leaving na raw!"

Dinig ko ang malakas na sigaw ni West mula sa labas ng kwarto ko. "Palabas na!" I shouted back.

I glance at my reflection on the mirror for the last time. I couldn't see the South Benedicto who used to wear loose shirts, jeans and boots. Seeing a woman right now with long sleeve black dress and black high heel shoes. Ang mapipilantik na pilikmata ay mas kumapal at tumingkad dahil sa maskara, she is also has a smoke-eyed eyeshadows, ang mga labi ay pula dahil sa lipstick.

Wala sa sarili akong napangiti. Hindi ko nakilala ang sarili ko. Ngayon masasabi ko nang ang ganda, ganda ko talaga.

"Ate! Bilisan mo raw!"

I sighed. Right.

Lumabas na ako ng kwarto at nagtungo sa sala. Nandoon si East na nakasuot ng puting pullover, labas ang kwelyo ng polo niyang itim sa ilalim, black pants at itim na italian shoes. Si West naman ay itim na pullover na may sulat sa harapang Gucci, faded blues jeans at puting rubber shoes. Then my eyes settled to the young kid sitting on the couch. Naka suot ito ng kulay blue na pullover, may puting kwelyong nakalabas, itim na pants at itim na rubber shoes. Ang mga asul na mata ay nakatitig sa akin na tila kaluluwa ko ang nakikita.

"Are you okay?" tanong ko.

Tumango ito. Maayos na ang lagay niya. Simula noong nandito siya sa bahay ay mas domuble ang pag-iingat namin. Not because he is Mom's son to another man but because he is a kid. He needs to be treated properly. Ayokong lumaki siyang marahas ang mga nasa paligid niya. I want him to enjoy his childhood. Ayokong ipagkait sakanya ang mga karapatan niya bilang bata. Kaya naman sanggol kung ituring namin siya dito sa bahay, he is just four anyway. Mabuti na rin na nandito siya dahil dito na napunta ang attention nina Nanang. They were so happy to have him here with us. Nagkaroon sila ng instant baby.

"Can baby Gyro sleep in our room again Ate?" tanong ni West. .

"No. He's sleeping in my room" giit ko. Simula noong nandito siya ay hindi ko pa ito nasolo. They are too fond of him.

Ngumuso sila ngunit ilang sandali lang ay ngumisi sila ng nakakaloko.

"We are gonna sleep in your room then."

Sinasabi ko na nga ba.

"Everyone's ready?" Bumaling kami kay North na nagmamadaling bumaba ng hagdanan. She's wearing a peach colored backless dress. Kukulay ng damit ang mataas na takong niya. She looked stunning on her high ponytail and make-up on.

We settled ourselves inside the car. North was talking to someone on her phone, ang dalawa namang lalaki ay kinukulit ako habang kandong-kandong ko si Gyro.

"Ate you're not leaving again, right? Pwede naman kayong magkita ng boyfriend mo e."

"He has a name East, and it's Genesis."

"Whatever his name. I am just stating that you should stay at our home na."

I looked at him. Tinaasan ko ito ng kilay. "You don't like him, right?"

Umiwas siya ng tingin. Umayos ako ng upo para maharap siya ng maayos, I pulled Gyro and hugged his back, hindi naman nagreklamo ang bata. Nasa backseat kaming apat, pinagigitnaan nila akong dalawa. Nasa harapan naman si North.

"It's not that I don't like him. I just find that it's very inappropriate if you stay one roof with him, especially that you are not yet married" he stated, lecturing me like he is years older than me.
