Don't Look Back

Chapter 4: Feelings

What he did today was unexpected

Kasalukuyan akong nasa sala ng bahay ni Enz, mag gagabihan na din sabi ni Yana na dito nalang din daw ako kumain. Sympre hindi ko naman siya matanggihan

Pumunta ako sa kusina para tulungan si Yana sa lulutuin niya, It's been a long time na din since I last chated with Yana eh. Nasa kusina din si Kuya Bud, naaamoy ko ang aroma ng kape na kanyang iniinom at ang kanilang mga boses.

Nafefeel ko talaga na Si Yana at si kuya bud ang magkakatuluyan balang araw. Si ate Yana mga nasa 35, pati si kuya Bud din ganun na din ang edad.. parehas na loyal sa family nila Enz kaya naman they are both single. Sa pagkakaalala ko ay si kuya bud ay driver na ng family ng tatay ni Enz.

I smirked sa thought na sila ang magkakatuluyan sa dulo, ayaw pa kasing aminin na may feelings sila para sa isa't-isa.

"Hi Yana, Hi Kuya Enz!" I said with my biggest smile

"Oh?" Yana seemed shocked by my presence. Nakatalikod kasi sa akin si Yana kaya hindi niya na anticipate ang pagdating ko.

"What are you doing here Andi?" Tanong ni Yana

I know na papaalisin niya ako sa kusina dahil ayaw niya akong tumutulong dahil bisita daw ako, pero I did the right thing for her, not to push me away..

I cling to her arm "I'm bored Yana, I want to talk to you.." I looked at her and to Kuya Bud "and to Kuya Bud also." nag beautiful eyes ako.

I know that she can't resist it when my eyes speaks the words for me. Kapag cuteness ko na ang kaharap niya di na si Yana makatanggi.

I heard kuya Bud titter

"Okay kid, stay there and peel those oranges." I got the oranges from the basket and peeled it one by one. Pagkatapos ko dito, i'm sure na mabango na ang kamay ko dahil sa pagdikit ng amoy ng orange

"How are you guys doing?" tumingin ako kay kuya Bud and Yana.

Nang magsalubong ang kanilang mata, kusang naghiwalay din silang dalawa ng tingin.

These two people..

"Ah-Eh, Us?" there's a bit of nervousness in her voice.

"Yes.. how are you guys doing these past few days?" still, hindi nila magets. "In your WORK.." pinagdiinan ko ang salitang WORK.

Itong dalawang 'toh, they misunderstood what I'm saying. Sabay silang nag 'Ah' ng marinig nila ang salitang WORK.

"Fine.." Kuya Bud shruggged.

"Good.." bumalik na si Yana sa paghihiwa ng bawang.

"Ohh.. ohkay.." sabi ko habang ako'y tumatango, para sangayunan ang kanilang sinabi, pero syempre may halong pagdududa sa kanilang kilos.

After a few minutes..

"I should get going, I still need to clean the car." Kuya Bud placed the cup of coffee he was holding to the counter.

I felt guilty.. because of the dirt I made inside the car.

"Sorry about that." I said in a guilty manner.

"It's okay Andi, you're not others..I'll go now.." he smiled and made his way towards the door.

I went back on peeling the oranges and waited for kuya bud to dissapear in my view.

I walked towards Yana while holding the orange
"Yana, I bet you and Kuya Bud will end up together." I said in a proud tone.

"What are you saying?!" tumingin siya sa akin na magkasalubong ang kilay at umiling-iling, as a gesture of rejection to what I said.
