"Kayo ba talaga?"Leilana questioned my relationship with Chester the next day. Kumunot naman ang noo ko habang binabalingan sina Tita na abala sa pag-aayos. Dadating daw sina Lolo to celebrate his birthday here. I wasn't informed. I was only told at short notice.
Siniko ko siya para sawayin.
"Shut up"saway ko.
Napangiwi naman siya dahil sa sinabi ko.
"Bakit? Tinatanggi mo ang relasyon niyo?"patuyang untag niya pa kaya napasinghap ako.
I got a message from Chester the night after he walked me home. He kept on checking on me kung maayos na ba raw ako. If I really felt better after ranting about what happened. I assured him of course that I am fine and there's nothing to worry anymore. Kahit gaano ko man ka-gustong tanungin siya kung okay ba siya, I stopped myself from asking. He will only tease me that I am worried about him. Of course! I'm at fault. Kung may mangyari mang masama sa kanya. Kung magkasakit man siya dahil nabasa siya ng ulan, kasalanan ko iyon. My guilt will eat me up and it will be the reason why I will stay up all night.
Muli niya akong siniko. Narinig ko pa ang pagmamando ni Tita sa mga staffs niya pati na rin sa organizer. Bukas uuwi sina Mama kasama sina Lolo. Mabuti nalang at wala akong pasok but I will be at school later to practice. Hindi ko alam kung bakit naging biglaan ang desisyon nilang dito ihe-held ang birthday. Hindi naman sa ayaw ko. I am only concern about Lolo. He's old and I know it's difficult for him to travel given his old age. Pero kapag gusto niyon, hindi mo na talaga mapipigilan kaya baka nga ay gusto niya talagang dito nalang. Though there's a lot of better place to held the event there, I really don't know his reason for holding his party here.
"Venice"she taunt me.
Napairap naman ako at iritadong bumaling sa kanya.
"Bakit ba? I told you already to stop"
Ngumisi siya at hinampas pa ang braso ko dahilan para mas lalo akong mainis sa kanya.
Humalakhak siya.
"Ang sakit naman sa part nung isa. Tinatanggi"she said dramatically.
I rolled my eyes because of her remarks.
"What makes you think that I keep on denying our relationship?"iritadong untag ko.
Napanguso siya at humalukipkip pa.
"Marami"aniya.
"Recite it all"giit ko.
I tilted my head to challenge her. She licked her lower lip before sighing.
"Hindi mo sinasabi na boyfriend mo siya"
Napairap ako. "What's the point of saying or announcing that? Kapag ba sinabi ko sa buong mundo, may magagawa sila? May maiaambag ba sila sa relasyon namin?"puna ko.
She made a face. I scoff.
"Wala kang sense of romance"puna naman niya.
Namilog naman ang mga mata ko dahil sa sinabi niya.
Sense of romance? Is that even part of the criteria? The standard? To know that you are really into or part of the relationship? Or that you are serious?
