It Will Always Be You

Chapter 18

Medyo SPG

[Anong balak mo sa weekend, Lyric?]

I put my legs on the sofa kung saan ako nakaupo ngayon. Hosea is not with me right now, dahil nasa Bicol siya ngayon since it's our Christmas break.

"Nothing much. I guess I will just study," I answered habang kumukuha ng chips.

[Pucha, mag aaral ka talaga? Christmas break oh. Mag cillax ka naman.]

I sighed, "Ano naman gagawin ko?" I stood up to get a glass of water and sat back again at the sofa, "wala naman akong kasama dito. Yung mga kaibigan ko, kasama pamilya nila. Eh alam mo naman na ayokong pumunta sa pamilya ko diba."

I heard him sighed, [Labas tayo sa weekend?]

Nabilaukan ako bigla sa iniinom king tubig. I immediately reached for my towel to wipe my mouth," H-ha? Choppy ka, " of course I lied. Baka kasi iba ang narinig ko.

[Sabi ko, labas tayo sa weekend,] rinig ko ang mahinang tawa niya sa kabilang linya.

Kumunot ang noo ko at namewang, "Saan naman?"

[My house?]

I pursed my lips at ilang beses akong napalunok nang marinig ko ang sinabi niya, "What are we going to do there?"

[Ewan ko rin. Bahala na si batman. Ay basta, gusto mo bang pumunta? Sunduin--]

"No!" Agad kong sabi, "I-I mean, ako na ang pupunta doon," agad ko rin namang dugtong habang nag paikot ikot ng lakad.

[Are you sure? Gusto mo sunduin kita? Nasaan ka ba?]

"Ako na nga ang pupunta diyan. Just wait for me," I said at binaba ko ang tawag.

Weekend came and agad akong nag bihis at nag impake ng gamit. I told Sebastian that I will be there at his house at around 1pm. It's still early, dahil 10am palang naman.

I just took a shower and wore my spaghetti strap dress na denim that I bought from Fendi. I partnered it with my white sneakets. I even tied my hair up into a high messy bun. After that, kinuha ko na ang sling bag ko na gold chains ang strap, and got my bags.

Lumabas na ako ng dorm at sinigurado ko munang lock ang pintuan bago ako bumaba. I put my bags at the back seat of my car bago ako umikot papunta sa driver seat. This cat was given by my tita, pinaglumaan niya.

I parked outside of Sebastian's house. Lumabas ako at pinatitigan ko ang kabuoan ng buong bahay niya. The color was changed into light blue.

"Uy! Nandito ka na pala!" Sebastian greeted me as soon as he saw me outside of his house. He was wearing his white dress polo and a pair of khaki shorts. Mukhang may pinanggalingan siya ngayon.

He opened the gate and hugged me really tight. I encircled my arms around his waist to hug him back.

"Tara, pasok na tayo?" Aya niya at nag pa gaya naman ako papasok ng bahay niya.

"Where's Kira?" I asked when I didn't saw his cat around his house.

He got my bags and put it on the sofa, "Kira passed away last year. May nakain kasi, kaya nalason."

I nodded my head a lot of times before I sat on the sofa, "Bago?" I asked, pertaining on the sofa I was seating.

Sebastian sat beside me, so I had to move so he can have space, "Yup. I bought this, last month."
