"Uhm, hi? Are you lost?"
He shook his head. "This is the address my dad texted me. I saw your surname on the gates. I assumed that this is the De Claria residence." Raizen said calmly.
Yeah, he's really here! Napahawak tuloy ako sa ulo kong natamaan niya ng bola kanina.
He noticed what I did. "It still hurts?"
"Hindi na. Pasok ka, Raizen." I smiled and him and opened the door widely.
As I make my way to the kitchen, he's on my back, following me. Pagkadating namin sa dining table ay agad siyang humingi ng paumanhin dahil nahuli siya.
"I'm really sorry for interrupting your dinner, Madame and Sir. I'm Raizen, second offspring of Mr. Robin Villarama. It's an honor to meet all of you." He plastered a small smile on his face.
He knows how to smile naman pala e. He's so masungit!
"Don't be so formal, sweetie. Come, take a seat. By the way, I'm Lalaina De Claria." Mommy smiled and offered Raizen some food.
"I think we already met, Raizen. I'm Giordan. Your dad and I are best of friends." Daddy said. "These are my daughters, Sunni and Stormi." He intorduced me and Ate.
"Hi! I'm Stormi. Nagkita na tayo kanina sa school, right?" I gave him a smile.
He smirked with my remarks. "Yeah..."
"I'm Sunni. Pleasure to meet you, Raizen." Ate with her serious face.
"You two already met? Oh, that's nice!" Tumango ako sa tanong ni Mommy.
"Paano kayo nagkakilala, anak?" Baling ni Tito Robin kay Raizen.
"Quen and I went to school to help Reese. He borrowed a ball to a student there, I accidentally threw the ball because he pushed me. Stormi got hit by the ball..." pagkukwento niya.
"Are you okay, hija? Pasensya ka na sa anak ko ha." Tito Robin with a worried smile, apologised.
"Okay lang po. Hindi naman niya po sinasadya e." I gave him a smile.
Nagtanong din si Mommy kung nagpatingin ako sa clinic and if it still hurts. Sumagot naman ako.
"I heard that Raizen's on his second year? What course did you take, lad?" My dad asked Raizen.
I looked at his plate and it looks untouched. I got another salad bowl, putting some salad on it. While placing it on the side if his plate, he was looking at me kahit kinakausap siya ni daddy.
I plastered a smile on my face. He did smile a bit.
"Civil Engineering, Sir." He said shortly.
Dad laughed with his answer.
"Just call me Tito Gio. You are like a son to me! Chill." He coolly said. "But that's nice. Engineering is a good course. My daughter here, Sunni is on her fourth year, Chemical Engineering. Hoping she can graduate this year." Daddy said, looking at Ate. Binibiro niya si ate kahit alam niyang magaling si ate.
"I will, Daddy." Ate replied. Wala yata siya sa mood e.
"I know, anak. How about you, Stormi? Any plans?" Napahinto ako sa pagkain ng salad ko.
I nodded, "meron na po. I'm planning to take a pre-med, Medical Technology. Gusto ko rin po sanang mag-enroll sa isang fly school pagkatapos ko grumaduate ng pre-med ko..." I said.
Wala namang masama kung dalawa ang gusto ko, 'di ba? Those were my dreams. It's something I really wanted to do.
"Wow, you've thought about it na pala, baby. Good for you." Mommy said and giggled. "You're so big na, Grace!"
