TRIGO
I woke up early in the morning dahil na rin siguro sa enough sleep kagabi.
"Fuck!" I cursed at muntik nang maibuga ang coffee na iniinom nang maalala ko na hindi nga pala ako nakapag-reply kay Archie last night when I opened my phone.
Uh... magrereply pa ba 'ko? I guess... hindi na, mamaya mag assume pa yun na masyado akong affected sa texts niya, and if ever naman na mag-assume siya...totoo naman.
In the end, 'di na rin ako nag-reply pa. Ba't ba ako affected?!
Di ah!
Nag-ayos na ako after checking my phone. It's Sunday and most of the time wala namang tao sa bahay so I was shocked nang paglabas ko sa garden for fresh air ay tumambad sa akin ang whole family.
"Uh anong meron?" I said as I open the sliding door dividing the garden and dining area.
"We'll be having a brunch with Paulo and his parents sana kaso they're busy so si Paulo nalang daw and he'll bring his friends as well." Dad answered. Sana naman huwag na! Nakakahiya! Naalala ko pa kaya yung kagabi... ewan ko ha pero pag I'm around with some of my acquaintances sa school hindi ko naman feel ang pagiging uncomfortable, sadyang alam ko lang siguro ang mga lalakeng kagaya nila.
Yup, judgemental.
"Huh? Bat naman po?"
"We left early yesterday" Mommy answered.
Sa labas nag-p-prepare na ang ilang maids nang silipin ko sila dito sa kwarto ko sa taas. I changed my outfit, yung casual lang. Nag striped-crop top lang ako na may detailed curve sa pinag tapusan ng tela sa arms, high waisted white pants and black leather slippers.
"HAHAHHAHA yes po tita" dinig na dinig ko na ang mga tawanan sa labas kaya nagmadali na rin akong bumaba.
"Uy Pau!" sabi nung Tristan at saka nginuso ako siguro para sabihin kay Pau na andito na ako. Agad ding umayos nang upo si Pau at yung Gerard. Eto talaga ang mga mukhang 'di mapagkakatiwalaan...hmm.
"Kanina pa kayo?" bati ko.
"Uh-huh, remember them? Yung sa party!" Pau answered and then hugged me.
"Yeah, yeah. Uh anyway, anong meron?" tapos umupo na ako sa white hanging chair near the pool. Dun kase sila naka upo while my parents are grilling some patties.
"Ah! Tinatanong lang kami ni Tita kung may plano daw ba kaming magkaroon na ng girlfriends" Pau answered with his giggles and also his friends'.
"Ikaw ba Adi?" tanong naman nung Jake ata, the chubby, mestizo, and the cutest.
"No, she's too young for that hijo." Mommy answered.
"Pero when she's already her legal age, it'll be okay for us by then na tumanggap siya nang manliligaw." Daddy said.
At nagtanguan naman sila except dun sa Tristan. Hmm...
After that kumain na din kami since mabilis narin namang na grill yung mga patties and other foods were already prepared bago pa sila dumating. They're five in total; Pau, The cute chubby one (Jake), Gerard na nakausap ko noon sa party, he has that boyish look, Leo na nasa senior high na, cute din pero mas mature ang face, and si Tristan, na 1st year college na ata. He's the most serious type among the five of them... siguro dahil college na? I'm not quite sure dahil sa... unspilled thoughts niya, lagi kasi siyang parang may sasabihin but he chose not to be madaldal like Paulo and Gerard.
