"A pinch of salt always makes a difference"
JASMINE'S POV
July 7,2013 (sunday)
After the long drive I fixed my self and put some powder and gloss to complete the look I prepare the box of cream puffs that I bought from mr.parks something that I know dee would love.
Lumabas na ako ng kotse after I park sa labas ng bahay nila.
Dee's House is just simple modern house na may spacious garden where parties are held.
I saw manang issa watering the pots. Tapos naramdaman ata niya na nakatitig ako kaya naman kumaway ako.
"Ahy jasmine ikaw ba yan?" Tumango naman ako.
"Hello po. Anjan po ba si deinz?" Typical na bahay na may mga kasambahay sila pero ayaw ng parents na tintrato nilang iba ang mga kasambahay kaya hindi sila nagpapatawag ng mam at sir.
"Ah oo anjan siya kasama ang buong pamilya niya. Sakto kakain na tara pasok ka."
I walk with my head held high am meeting his family. Dati kasi si dee lang ang nasa bahay and that was a weekday kaya naman bsusy ang lahat at wala sa bahay.
Papasok na ako ng sala. Nang marinig ko ang boses ni dee na may kausap ata.
"Yes kakain na po, ikaw din wag ka papagutom. I miss you too. Cge text kita mamaya bye. Love you"
Parang bigla ako nalagutan ng hininga. I Stop at my tracks. Only to find out I was face to face with a guy that is buffer than dee.
"Yes? Sino ka?" Mataray niyang tanong para kasi akong nakakaistorbo he was about to go out and light a cigar.
"Uhm ah am jasmine" i offered a hand shake he just look at it. So ibinalik ko n lang para akong napahiya sa sarili ko.
Magsasalita pa sana ako nung biglang dumating si manang issa.
"Jasmine halika andun si deinz sa loob" pagyaya sa akin ni manang.
Nang makalampas na ako sa lalakeng kausap ko kanina. Bigla siyang nagsalita.
"So ikaw ang bagong bhe ng kuya ko?? Eh kakatawag lang niya sayo andito ka na agad?" Napatingin ako sa kanya. I just smiled but the truth is it hurts.
"Uhm its a surprise he doesnt know am coming, so excuse me" i explained tsaka ko siya tinalikuran.
I felt that I was abput to choke with my own saliva. Pero nawala lahat yun nang makasalubong ko si dee. I can see suprise on his face.
"Jas what a surprise" sabi niya nga nakayakap sa akin. I felt the warm on his embrace that I really missed. I patted his back and smiled.
I notice we had audience so I act cool ayokong makita nila akong parang fan girl na sobrang kinikilig.
"Buti bumisita ka and buti alam mong nasa bahay ako?" Sasagot pa sana ako nang biglang may sumabat.
"Paanong di niya malalaman di ba siya ung bhe na kausap mo sa phone mo ha kuya?" He gave him a stern look. I can feel the awkwardness sa paligid.
"Well galing ako sa store niyo wala ka doon kaya naman i tried my luck at pumunta dito" i answered dismissing whatever comment his brother gave.
Dee smiled at me parang sinasabi na thanks for saving me so I just smiled back.
He puts his hand at my back and walk me on their dining table. And there I saw the rest of the family with their blank faces.
