Char | GDL

"The event was fun! Ang galing naman ng bebe boy!" Gabby said then teased Joaquin.

"Ate, nakakahiya ka." Joaq said tsaka napa-face palm. We all just laughed.

Ang awkward kasi nung position namin. Basta, magkaharap kami ni Jords, ganon. It was awkward kasi hindi ako makatingin sakanya kahit siya, kanina pa pasulyap-sulyap sa akin.

"So, ate Alli, you and kuya Eli are back together?" Yannie asked. Bakit ba masyado siyang interesado?

I neither confirmed nor denied it. Hindi ko naman kailangan magexplain sakanya.

"That's why you were together on Valentine's day!" Yannie said. "Ako kasi I went to Cosmos lang with Jords." She added. Ha, that should've been me.

"I didn't know you were into chinitas, Jords." sabi ni Joaq.

Sinong chinita? Yung Chinese or Koreana? Pakilinaw please.

"I've been keeping my eye on someone." Jordi said, looking at me. "But I don't think it'll work out." He added then looked at Yannie.

"All you gotta do is ask, GDL! Alam mo namang crush kita! Char!" She said while giggling.

Di bagay sakanya yung char. Sa'min lang yun ni Jords.

"Bagay kami diba?" Yannie asked.

But even before we had the chance to answer, our food arrived. It was a rather awkward dinner. I excused myself to go to the restroom. I had to calm myself kasi kanina pa sour yung mood ko.

Paglabas ko, andun si Jordi na naka-lean sa wall.

"Hey." He said.

"Hey." I answered.

"Congrats?" Patanong na saad ko.

"For?" He asked while frowning.

"You and Yannie. I didn't know na kayo na. Dapat nagsabi ka dati na may ka-char ka pala yieee!" I deserve a grammy.

"We're not together." He said in a serious manner.

"Oh..."

"What about you and kuya Eli?" He asked.

"Ano?" I asked.

"Are you guys together again?" He asked while looking directly into my eyes.

"Nah. We're friends." Bakit ba ako kinakabahan?

He then walked closer to me. He patted my head and smiled.

"Good."
