NERDY 65

NASA labas kami ng bahay at kasama ko si Zhake. Pinapapasok ko siya sa loob pero ayaw niya dahil nahihiya daw siya. Me and Zhake? I don't know what we are right now. All I know is that, we're in good terms right now.

" Alexis, did you really just called me your guy earlier?" tanong ni Zhake. Dang! Did he really heard it?

" Did I? " inosenteng tanong ko.

" Yes, I heard you called me your guy. " sabi niya sabay hawak sa kamay ko at tingin sa aking mata.

" You're just drunk. " sabi ko na parang tinatanggi ko. " But I heard you-" may sasabihin pa sana siya pero biglang bumukas ang main door at iniluwa nito si Mommy at... Daddy? H-he's here?

Nang makita ako ni Daddy ay agad na dumapo ang tingin nito sa kamay ni Zhake na nakahawak sa kamay ko at automatikong nagbago ang emosyon sa mata niya mula sa pagka excited to pagka galit. I looked at Mom at nakangiti lang ito.

" Maxine Alexis!" galit na sigaw ni Daddy habang papalapit sa amin na ikinagulat ko kaya dali-dali kong tinanggal ang kamay ni Zhake sa kamay ko. Si Mommy naman ay sumunod sa kanya ng may ngiti sa labi.

" Dad... hi?" sabi ko nang nasa harap ko na siya. I know what he'll do in this kind of situation right now, he'll burst out in anger. When I introduced Mark Rony to him years ago as my boyfriend, nagalit siya, as in nagalit talaga, as a father, syempre magagalit siya, I was just freaking young when I got my first boyfriend for eve's sake. That makes me vomit right now, literally. Pero nung tumagal, natanggap niya, bumuti yung pakikitungo niya kay Mark Rony, he even treated him like his own son. Pero grabe ang galit niya nang malamang niloko ako nito, he almost called his man to get rid of Mark Rony in this world for hurting his princess. But I pleased him not to. And since then, galit na siya sa lahat ng lalaki na umaaligid sa akin even Ram, kaya hindi ko pa pinapakilala sakanya si Exelle. And now, Zhake.

" Stay away from our Alexis, boy. "  sabi ni Dad kay Zhake sabay hila sa'kin papunta sa likod nito. Me and Mom laughed.

" He has a name, Dad. And it's Zhake Collins. " sabi ko. Masama ang tingin nito kay Zhake.

" I don't care about his- wait, he's Collins?" nag-iba ang tono ng boses ni Daddy.

" It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Isabelle, " sabi ni Zhake sabay yuko sa harap ni Dad. " I am Zhake Collins, the heir of Collins Wine Company. " dagdag nito sabay alok ng kamay. Hindi parin makapaniwala si Dad. What's so impossible about that?

" Why are you so starstrucked, hon?" tanong ni Mom. Humarap sakanya si Dad at bumulong. Tumawa lang si Mom. Tumingin ako kay Mommy. " He said he didn't expect that the heir of CWC is handsome like this. " bulong ni Mom sa akin kaya napangiti ako.

" Honor is mine. " sagot ni Dad nang seryoso at inabot ang kamay ni Zhake.

" Would you like to go inside?" tanong ni Mommy. Nanlaki ako mata ko. No no no, alam ko na ibig sabihin ni Mom. Dadaldalin niya si Zhake.

" No need, paalis na rin si Zhake. Right?" Sabi ko sabay harap kay Zhake na nakangiti. Please say you're leaving.

" A dinner won't be bad, yeah Mr. Collins?" tanong ni Mommy. Say you're leaving. Say you're leaving.

" Yes. Sure. A dinner. " sabi ni Zhake sabay ngiti sa akin. Oh no.

" Perfect. " sabi ni Mommy sabay palakpak at hila kay Zhake. Si Daddy ay masama parin ang tingin kay Zhake.
