Iniiwasan
"Yeah." He simply answered, nodding.
"Ano bang mayroon sa atin?" I asked him which made him look at me, a little bit taken aback. It was as if he was thinking about something more when I asked him that.
"We're best friends, right?" He asked in confusion and I just rolled my eyes at him. Like I didn't know about that, dumbass. Of course, that's not what I meant.
"Right." I sarcastically said but he just laughed at me.
"Do you want to have some coffee?" He asked me at tumango lang ako.
He suddenly stood up and faced me, offering his hand to me. I took his hand and he helped me stand up. We walked towards his Sedan and immediately went inside and nag-drive na siya.
We stopped sa Starbucks na malapit. Buti na lang 24/7 ang Starbs na napuntahan namin. We went out of his Sedan at dumiretso nang pasok sa Starbucks. He ordered for the both of us. He got himself a frappe while he got me a brewed coffee.
"So, what now?" I asked him after sipping from my coffee. I saw him sighed, feeling uneasy.
"I'm sorry." He said then slightly scratched the tip of his nose, getting embarrassed. I chuckled.
"I should be the one saying that." I said at muling uminom ng kape. "I'm sorry." I apologized and I saw him let out a faint smile.
"It's not even your fault. I was so rude that time." He said and anxiousness was evident from his face. "Masyado akong nanghimasok. Family dinner niyo 'yon with your Dad's friends pero nanggulo ako."
"Hindi ka naman nanggulo, ah?" I said, habang natatawa.
It's true naman. Hindi naman siya nanggulo. Ni hindi nga alam nila Dad na pumunta pala siya that night. Hindi ko na rin naman nabanggit pa sa kanila because I didn't think it was that important.
"E 'di, kung hindi sa inyo ng family niyo, siguro between you and that Jimenez guy." He said then looked away. Napataas ako ng kilay.
Why would he even say that? Wala naman siyang ginulo between Kendrick and I and isa pa, there was nothing going on between us naman. At kung meron man, edi sana matagal na niyang alam, 'di ba? I will never keep a secret from him. Well, except of course sa feelings ko para sa kaniya.
He decided to look my way again and stared at me intently. For some reason, I felt my heart tightened. I don't know, maybe because of his stares and his uneasiness that I witnessed. But the question is, why would he feel that way? Why would he feel uneasy?
"It's all good, Cob. It's no big deal. And I'm sorry that I was kind of rude to you that night." I said and smiled at him.
Finally, he let out a sincere smile. The smile that could completely melt and shattered my heart at the very same time. Sobrang ganda ng ngiti niya. I would be willing to pay everything that I have just to see his smiles every single second. Mahal na mahal ko talaga siya.
"Is there something going on between you and Jimenez na? I mean, you know what I mean." He suddenly asked which made me almost choke on my coffee.
"What?" I asked, getting confused. "I have no idea what you mean." I continued. I saw him shrugged kaya napataas ang kilay ko.
"Well, uhm," He sighed before continuing, "You know, some kind of arrangement by both of your parents." He finished shyly. I chuckled.
"You mean arranged marriage?" I asked, still chuckling.
Nakita ko na naman 'yong pagiging uneasy niya. 'Yong parang hindi siya mapakali na ewan. I don't know but I feel something weird as I see him make such movements and expressions. But I might be just assuming too much.
