"HINDI ka pa rin umuuwi?" nagtatakang tanong niya nang pumasok ako ulit sa practice room. Magse-seven na ng gabi at kakatapos lang namin sa dance routine.
"I bought these," sabi ko at hinagis ko sa kanya 'yung isang in-can energy drink na binili ko sa labas. Umupo ako sa sahig katapat niya. "Transfer student ka sa class namin, right?"
She looked at me with confusion, siguro nagtataka siya kung bakit nakikipagkwentuhan ako sa kanya ngayon. Ayoko pa kasi munang umuwi at baka pag dumaan ako ng gym ay makita ako ng mga team mate ko.
"Oo. Captain ka ng basketball team ng school, 'di ba?" siya naman ang nagtanong at binuksan ang energy drink.
"That's what everybody knows about me," I said then I looked down. "I just ditched my teammates today."
"Siraulo ka pala eh," sabi ni Golda at napatingin ako sa kanya. "Bakit ka nagstay dito at nagsasasayaw kung may practice pala kayo."
Napangiti ako bigla sa tinawag niya sa'kin. "You actually remind me of my older sister."
"Hah?"
I let out a sight then I looked at her. "I guess I stayed here because I needed a break."
Tinaas niya bigla 'yung kamay niya para pahintuin ako sa pagsasalita. "Teka, huhulaan ko," nag-isip siya saglit, "ayaw ng nanay mo na magsayaw ka, ano? Kaya ba may pa-tell no one tell no one ka pang nalalaman."
I slightly laughed because she's amusing, para talaga siyang si Ate. "Dude, manghuhula ka ba? Yeah, tama ka. My mom forbids me to dance, and guess why?"
"Hindi ako si Madam Auring," she said while pouting.
"My older sister... We're both good at dancing but she's a rebel, unlike me. She followed her dreams to be a dancer but she..."
"Anong nangyari?" she curiously asked. "Namatay siya?!"
"No—she... she got pregnant while she was a university student, of course, galit na galit si mom. My sister didn't finished her degree, my mom sent her to abroad to live with our relatives while raising the baby."
"Nasaan 'yung tatay ng anak niya?"
"Hindi pinanagutan si ate—"
"Aba, gago 'yun!"
