Sela's POV"Ta's, ayun." pagpapaliwanag nila.
Lumapit naman sa akin si Alice, Belle at Rans para mag-sorry, "Mars, sorry talaga, nasira pa namin 'yung date niyo..."
"Eto kasing sina Sheki e. Ayaw pa-awat." sabat naman ni Rans.
Nag-salita na din si Belle, "Tsaka mars, gusto din talaga naming makita at mapanood 'yung date niyo!"
"Oo nga! Ikaw ah, wala manlang pasabi jan na may pa 'date' pala kayo n'yang si Abby!" napatingin naman ako kay Alice at bahagyang namula.
"Uso mag-kwento mars, nang maging updated naman kami sa love life mo! Mamaya n'yan kayo na pala, wala manlang kaming alam teh..?"
Lumaki naman ang mata ko dahil sa sinabi ni Belle at dali-daling umiling, "Hindi ah! I-I, I mean h-hindi...pa."
"Ayon, hindi PA..." Rans teasingly said while emphasizing the last word.
"Basta mars, sorry talaga. Promise, hindi na talaga namin kukunsintihin 'tong sina Brei." I just sighed and smiled at them.
"Honestly, sa akin wala nang problema kasi patapos naman na kami nung dumating kayo. But I think...the real problem is the person...over there."
I pointed at the counter where Abby and the manager of the restaurant are talking. Tingin ko ay humihingi ito ng paumanhin sa nangyari. Nakita ko pang nag-abot ito ng ilang papel tsaka stress na lumapit sa pwesto namin.
"Okay ka lang?" I asked in worry while caressing her face. She then put her arm on my waist and sighed.
"Wait a minute." nang makita ulit nito sina Ecka ay tinanggal nito ang pagkakahawak sa bewang ko at lumapit sa mga ito.
"Abby sor--"
"Explain." she didn't let Brei finish and immediately cut her.
"G-Gusto lang naman namin makita 'yung d-date niyo.."
"T-Tsaka ate..." lahat kami ay napatingin kay Coleen nang itaas nito ang kanyang kamay, "A-Ako po 'yung nagsabi kayna ate Ecka..."
"Coleen? Hindi ba pinagkatiwalaan kita na secret lang natin 'to kasi kilala mo naman 'tong mga 'to? Aysh!" dismayadong sabi ni Abby.
"Pero ate..."
"Abby, 'wag mo nang sisihin si Coco. Kami naman 'yung nag-pumilit na pumunta dito eh." Sheki.
"Oo nga. Kung tutuusin, pinipigilan niya nga kami e."
Nang matapos sabihin 'yon ni Ecka ay nilapitan ko si Abby at pinakalma.
Nang makahinga na ito nang malalim ay muli itong humarap sa kanyang mga tropa at nagsalita, "Fine. Ano pa bang magagawa ko? Eh anjan na kayo e." she rolled her eyes playfully.
"So pinapatawad mo na kami?" biglang lapit ng mukha ni Sheki dito.
Sumunod naman si Ecka at inilapit din ang mukha nito sa harapan ni Abby, "For real?!"
Nakakatawa naman 'tong mag-kakaibigan na 'to. Seriously, kanina lang, hindi mag-kaintindihan. But now? Look at them. Hays.
"Remind me again why am I even friends with you guys, at all?" Abby sarcastically asks.
"BECAUSE YOU LOVE US!!!" patakbong lumapit ang mga ito kay Abby at niyakap ito hanggang sa mapahiga sila sa sahig ng restaurant.
"Huy! Tumayo nga kayo jan. Umalis na kaya tayo dito bago pa ma-banned 'tong mga 'to? Hahaha." pabirong sabi ko na ikinatawa rin naman ng iba.
"Right."
Abby's POV
Hays, I thought this would be a great way to start I and Sela's getting there--official--relationship, but I guess the saying is true. Always expect the unexpected.
"Pa'no ba 'yan? Hanggang dito na lang.." we stopped walking and face their gate.
It's 9:30 pm already and I know her curfew is only at 10 pm. So after we've separated ways from the others a while ago, I instantly thought of sending her home since it's getting really really dark outside already.
"Yeah.." she quietly said.
I just smiled at her before letting go of her hand. Medyo sanay na kami sa presensya ng isa't-isa hindi gaya ng dati kaya komportable na kami sa mga ganitong galaw.
"Btw Abby, thank you pala for this day. I really enjoyed it, though... Pero hayaan mo na! Nag-enjoy talaga 'ko." napangiti naman ako sa sinabi nito.
"Glad to know at nag-enjoy ka. Ako din, don't worry. Just being with you all night makes me really happy. Uhm, pa'no? Una na 'ko..." bahagyang napapakamot pa sa batok nang sabihin ko ito.
"Yeah, sure. Ingat ka ah." paalala nito bago ngumiti sa akin at tumalikod.
Papasok na sana ito ng kanilang gate nang hawakan ko bigla ang kanyang kamay at pinaharap ito sa akin.
Dahil halos magkasing-tangkad lamang kami ay inilapit ko na lamang ang mukha ko sa naguguluhang mukha nito.
"A-Abby...?" mahinang tawag nito sa pangalan ko pero hindi ko na lamang ito pinansin at mas inilapit pa ang mukha ko.
I'm really eager to do this since I saw her earlier walking outside from their house with that dress she's wearing right now.
She really looks stunning on that outfit and it makes me wanna do some things to her.
But wait, we both decided to make our relationship work step by step. So I will not do anything to make her mad at me for doing so.
So for now, I think this will do...
I tilted my head and kissed her on the cheek. I saw her widen her eyes that made me giggle.
"W-What was that a-all about?" she's stuttering and that made me pinched her cheeks before kissing it, the opposite side of what I've kissed a while ago.
"Aww!" daing ko nang maramdaman kong hinampas-hampas ako nito sa braso.
"Nakakarami kana ah! You know that I don't like being kissed!" reklamo nito habang masamang nakatingin sa akin.
Yeah, you've heard it right. I know she doesn't want the feeling of being kissed or other sweet things 'cause it will make her cringed or something.
But I'm not Abelaine Trinidad for nothing. I break rules and I'll try to break hers too if that will make her come out of her shell and be more comfortable around me.
I'm not the clingy type too but being with her every second is an exemption.
"Sela, Abby?" bago pa 'ko makapag-paliwanag dito ay narinig naman namin ang boses ng mommy niya.
"Tita!" patakbo akong lumapit dito at hinalikan ito sa pisngi.
"Hinatid ko lang po si Marsela." Ngumiti naman ito sa akin pagkapos.
"I see. Osige na't umuwi ka na, it's getting late already."
"Ahm, opo. I'm planning to gome home na po talaga, nakita ko lang po kayo bigla, hehe." I nodded my head and cheekily smiled at Sela's mom.
Nag-paalam na din ako sa kanilang dalawa at nag-umpisa nang mag-lakad papunta sa kotse ko.
Pero bago pa ako tuluyang makapasok sa sasakyan ay narinig ko pa ang pinag-uusapan ng mag-ina na ikinatawa ko naman.
"Mmy, ako, asa'n kiss ko?"
"Oh, pumasok ka na sa loob at madilim na dito sa labas." hindi pinansin ng mommy nito ang kanyang lambing at nauna nang pumasok sa loob ng kanilang bahay.
Samantalang si Sela naman ay naiwan sa harapan ng kanilang gate at hindi maipaliwanag ang ekspresyon ng mukha nito.
"Waw, parang hindi ako 'yung anak ah?"
