"Kanina ka pang nakasimangot dyan." Puna ni Gave.
Sinong hindi sisimangot?! ang pesteng Lester na yan ay sinundan ako dito! Napaka-walanghiya!
"Tss."
"Ooooh. Ganyang-ganyan ang 18 years old na Asteria! HAHA!" pang-aasar niya. Sinamaan ko naman siya ng tingin.
"Isa pang pang-aasar mo, tatalsik ka palabas ng bahay na 'to!" Banta ko pero imbes na matakot siya ay tinawanan niya lang ako.
Bwisit
Nagpatuloy nalang ako sa pagkain ng mangga habang isina-sawsaw iyon sa mayonnaise.
Yum!
"Ahm Aster?"
Ayan na ang hudas.
"Mukkhang may paguusapan kayong dalawa. Maiwan ko muna kayo." Ngingis-ngising sabi ni Gave saka umalis ng kusina. Naupo nnaman ang hudas sa harapan ko at nginitian ako nang malapad.
Pota. Baby, sorry ha. Napapamura si Mommy ngayon e.
"Uy, are you mad at me?" Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.
"Who wouldn't?! You came here for me! What the fuck is wrong with you?! You wnat to be friends with me?! This isn't a 'friend' thingy, FYI!" gigil na sabi ko. Natawa naman siya nang bahagya.
Lahat nalang ng sasabihin ko ay tinatawanan niya.
"Masyado kang highblood. Chill----"
"Chill?! You're telling me to chill?! How can I chill of you're infront of me right now?! The fuck! You're getting into my nerves!"
"Hey. I'm sorry okay. I'm just worried about y----"
"Wala kang dapat ipagalala sa akin! We're just friends!"
"And friends do really worry."
"But in our situation...it's a no! My cousins here would really think that there's something going on between us! Fuck it! Let me clear this up to you! If you're just going to flirt with me...back off. I won't like you and I will never be. My heart is only for my late husband!"
I don't care if he got offended by what I said. I just want to clear things to him.
"Sorry. I just wanna be friends with you. I'm sorry if you misinterpreted it." He stood up and was about to walk away when I suddenly felt guilt.
"Wait."
"Yes?" Nilingon niya ko. Wala nang emosyon ang mukha niya.
Na-offend nga siya
"I-I'm sorry, okay? I got carried away with my emotions. Look, I'm preg----"
"It's fine." Then he smiled and walk towards me.
"You shouldn't stress yourself too much. It's bad for your baby. And you need to chill. I didn't came here for you. I'm here for Denise. She's my cousin."
What?!
Hindi ako nakaimik. Nakaramdam ako nang bahagyang pagkapahiya.
Assuming ko pala.
"I really didn't expect you to be here. i guess, we're desti---"
"K-Kalokohan mo."
"Sorry hehe. But realtalk, I got offended by your words. Damn woman! Pasmado ang bibig mo."
"I-I'm sorry."
"You're fiesty..and I like it." Then he winked
"Sapak, you want?!"
"Chill! Ano ba? Kumalma ka nga."
"Paano ako kakalma, e hinaharot-harot mo ko. Kung inaakala mong madadala mo ko sa paganyan-ganyan mo..that's a no no! Asa kang hudas ka!"
"Hudas---what the fuck? HAHAHHA!"
Tinawanan pa amp. Siraulo talaga.
"Sige tawa lang. Yung tipong mamatay ka na, ha." Huminto naman siya at tiningnan ako ng deretso sa mata.
"Pero eto seryoso. Wag mmong ugaliing maging ganyan sakin---"
"At bakit?!"
"Baka mahulog ako..alam ko namang di mo ko masasalo."
A-Ano?!
