CHAPTER 16
"How's Trigo?" Tanong ni Kuya nang makalabas ako sa classroom. I got a problem with Trigo yesterday. Nag-puyat kami ni Kuya para roon.
I gave him a thumbs up and smiled.
Sinundo niya ako ngayon kasi baka raw atakihin nanaman ako ng allergy ko tapos kung kaninong mansyon nanaman daw ako pumunta. Paulit-ulit niya ngang chineck kanina kung dala ko ba talaga 'yung gamot ko. I already told him what happened yesterday. I was surprised that he didn't overreacted that I ate with his guy friends. I didn't know why. Baka nag-mature na siya.
"Hahatid mo po ba ako sa sakayan? Or sa bahay?" I asked him while we were walking on the hallway. I really wanted to hang out with my friends more... Pero 'tong si Kuya, kill joy.
"Bahay na," aniya. Himala, diretso uwi kaagad siya. My forehead creased when I saw his friends from afar, waiting for us. "Tambay ulit kami. Kwarto ka lang."
Okay, hindi pa rin pala siya nag-mature.
I smiled at Gael when our eyes met. His lips slightly parted before flashing a smile and nodded. Kaonti lang naman sila ngayon. Si Kuya, Kuya Andy, Kuya Thomas, Kuya Benedict, Kuya Nash, and Gael. Nasa jeep kaming lahat except for Kuya Benedict and Gael na nasa motor.
"Andito nanaman kayo?" Tanong ni Mama ng makasalubong niya kami sa gate. Nag-tawanan lang sila at bumati kay Mama. Nauna na akong pumasok dahil naiinitan na ako. Bago pa man ako maka-pasok ay narinig kong sinabi ni Mama na, "Parati na lang kayo dito, wala ba kayong bahay?"
"Ma, ano ba."
I just shook my head.
Because of boredom, nag-tayo si Kuya ng basketball ring sa labas ng bahay namin last week. Hindi naman sila makakapag basketball doon nang maayos kasi napakaliit ng space. Pero habang nasa kwarto ako ay nakita ko sila na nag-lalaro roon. I pursed my lips as I watched Gael playing.
I guess it wasn't a serious game. Nag-tatawanan lang sila, eh. Nag-babatuhan pa nga ng bola sa ulo.
I slightly opened the window up, para marinig ko sila. Mga tawa kaagad nila ang narinig ko.
"Pre, pakiss!" Sabi ni Kuya kay Kuya Thomas na agad naman niyang hinalikan sa pisngi.
"Kadiri ka, gago!"
"Oops, bad word," sabi ni Gael habang umiiling. "We don't do that here..."
"Kala mo naman hindi siya nag-mumura," ani Kuya Thomas.
"Hindi naman, mabait naman na ako," sabi ni Gael at pinag-dikit ang dalawang kamay.
"Mabait ka?" Tanong ni Kuya bago pinasa kay Gael ang bola. "Bakit ka naman naging mabait? Yinayabangan mo naman ako dati!"
"Para sa 'yo, Pre," sabi ni Kuya Thomas dahilan para may bumagsak na bola sa ulo niya. Tumawa si Kuya Thomas ng makita ang reaction ni Gael. "Joke lang, eh."
I pursed my lips before I closed the window. Kuya, you're so clueless!
Pero I was so curious. And I also wanted to hear Gael's voice, kaya iniwan ko na bahagyang nakabukas ang bintana as I was studying for the last day of exam.
"Bili ka nga iced coffee," I heard Kuya Andy.
"Bili ka nescafe, ta's lagyan mo ng yelo," Kuya replied.
"Cheap," Kuya Benedict said. "Meron kasi kaming coffee beans galing starbucks... so... 'Di naman ako nag-mamayabang. Sinasabi ko lang."
"'Wag niyo simulan, baga ihampas ni Valiente sa mukha niyo 'yung mga building nila," biro ni Kuya.
