Forbidden, Yet Allowed (Griyego #1)

Chapter 11

FYA - Griyego

"What were you thinking back there, Rio?" I finally asked him.

Sandaling napatingin siya sa akin na parang nagtataka sa naging tanong ko.

We are now currently inside his car after we met up with Tito Russel and his business partner. Tito Russel was actually there to find a present for Tita Nevaeh, and after I just gave him a few ideas on what to give her and bidding our goodbye, Rio suddenly dragged my ass out of the mall. Kaya hindi ko na nagawang itanong ang tungkol sa naging reaksyon niya kanina.

"At what?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes. "When you met with that business partner of Tito Russel, you suddenly went quiet."

Tumango-tango naman siya nang maalala ang tinutukoy ko. "Oh, that? It's nothing." He shrugged off.

"I just thought of something. Now that someone mentioned it, you do look a lot like Tita Nevaeh," he added that made my brows furrowed before looking at the mirror on the sun visor.

I do get a lot from people that I don't really look like Mama nor Papa, all I got from my father was basically his tall height while Mama... her attitude. And now that I am looking at myself and suddenly thought about what Rio said, I do have a lot of Tita Nevaeh's resemblance. From the oval face that I have that enhances my soft angled eyebrows that goes perfectly with my round eyes, the small curved nose and my thin lips... I mostly resemble Tita Nevaeh. They even say that I have an angelic face or feature, but once my eyes started to glare and my mouth started to talk, I would most probably just looked like a fallen angel.

Pero iyon nga lang ba ang nasa isip ni Rio mula kanina? I feel like he's not telling me something. And most importantly, where the fuck are we going? Hindi naman ito ang daan papuntang condo niya.

"But where are we exactly going, Rio?" Tanong ko sa kanya matapos tignan ang sarili.

Ngumisi naman siya sa akin. "Magpapa-gas muna ako, then decide where we should be going."

"Home. We'll go home," I said and rested my head.

"Boo! KJ alert!" He suddenly shouted that causes me to hit him with the water bottle inside his car.

"Oo na, tangina!" Iritado kong sinabi.

So, in the end, I just let Rio drive us off to the gas station. Saan naman kami pupunta? Ano na naman sumanib dito para ayain na naman akong lumabas? Well, at least I wouldn't get stood up just like before. Which reminds me... nang dahil din sa ginawa niyang iyon kaya nagkruss ang landas namin ng isang hayop. Kung sumulpot lang sana si Rio, hinding-hindi sana kami nagkita ni Asa.

"Rio, I'll just go pee. Hindi ako nakapagbanyo dahil sa pagkaladkad mo sa akin kanina," I said while he was having his car some gas.

Tumango naman siya. "I'll just park this near the convenience store, I'm suddenly craving for some siopao."

Binuksan ko naman ang pinto at lumabas na para mag banyo muna rito sa may gasoline station. I just hope their bathroom doesn't look anything that could make me vomit or just have my pee outside.

Kasalukuyan akong naglalakad patungo pa lamang doon nang mapahinto ako dahil sa tawag ng isang tinig ng hayop sa akin.

"Afia! Babe!" Hyal's voice echoed the whole gasoline station.

Napangiwi naman ako nang makita ko siyang nakangisi habang nakapamulsang naglalakad patungo sa akin, kasama niya si Sol at si...

"Well, will you look at that. I told you this is destiny," he said.
