Do You Have A Boyfriend?
"Amber. Ikaw na muna ang bahalang mag set-up ng tent natin. May isesend lang akong documents kay CEO." Ani mommy bago nagpunta sa parte ng lugar na mas malakas ang signal ng internet.
Hindi ako sigurado sa eksaktong address ng lugar na kinaroroonan namin, but looking and observing the surroundings, we are definitely in one of the mountainous part of the region. Tall trees surrounded the place, chirping of birds were being heard around, cool and fresh air was blowing, and an overlooking view of the city was seen on the spot they chose to be our campsite.
"Yup." Sagot ko kay mommy bago tiningnan ang nakalatag na put-up tent sa harap ko. In all honesty, I don't have any single idea on how will I put this freaking tent up.
Una kong dinampot ang metal rod na nakapatong sa waterproof covering ng tent.
Tinitigan ko iyon bago ibinaba. Dinampot ko rin ang isa pang parte nito pero hindi ko malaman kung anong gagawin roon.
Pagdudugtungin ko ba ito? O ikakabit ko ba rito? O ibabalik ko nalang ang tent sa loob ng bag at hintayin si mommy na tapusin ito para sa amin.
I smiled cheekily but shook my head afterwards.
I shivered with the thought of my mom all mad at me. Definitely not the last option.
Umiling ako at sinimulan muling lutasin ang isa sa pinakamalalang problema ng bansa. Charot.
I again pick the metal rod up. I saw the string that connects each separate parts so I concluded that they should be connected. Pinagdugtong-dugtong ko ang mga iyon hanggang sa makabuo ng isang mahabang parang patpat.
"Balak mo bang gumawa ng panungkit?"
"Ay palakang busog!" Gulantang akong lumingon sa aking likod. There stood Gray with his famous frown. Bumaba ang tingin niya sa hawak ko kaya nakita ko ang pag-ngisi nito.
Itinago ko ang hawak ko sa aking likod. Pero dahil nga mahaba, wala rin iyong naitulong.
"Honestly, do you really know what you are doing?"
Ngumiwi ako pero agad ko iyong pinalitan ng matigas na ekspresyon.
"Of course." I raised my forehead.
"No, you're not." Kontra nito bago umikot ang kamay niya papunta sa aking likod at kinuha ang hawak ko.
My eyes widen with his sudden act. I even smelled his favorite cologne because of the sudden uncomfortable distance he made.
"This is how it should be done." Kausap niya sa akin habang ang mga tingin ay nasa payat na bakal na pinagdugtong-dugtong ko kanina.
"Hold the other end." Sunod na sabi niya.
I did what he said.
Pinulot niya ang nakalatag na cover sa lupa. "Now, attached it on the other end of the cloth cover."
"Like this?" I showed him what I did to make sure that I am following it right.
"Mhh." He hummed.
Ginugol lamang kami doon ng ilang minuto bago naipatayo sa harap ko ang gagamitin naming tent ni mommy.
"OMG! I made it!" I cheered like a little grade-school girl being presented with a bag of candy.
Lumingon ako kay Gray na nakatayo sa gilid ng tent gaya ko. He was giving me a hard face.
"A simple thank you would be nice." He shook his head in disbelief.
I grinned and sang a loud, "Thank youuu!"
