Winter In Summer

CHAPTER 25

Nagising ako kasi ramdam kong andito na kami. Luminga linga muna ako, andito parin pala si Zimrah, habang si Zimram nakatingin sa akin, mukhang hinihintay ako magising.Ngumiti lang ako sakanya.

"Let's go?", he asked.

I just nod at him tsaka kinuha namin ang mga bagahe, before that syempre madadaanan namin si Zimrah, now that she's looking at me like a mad woman. Ayaw ko ng gulo kasi pagod ako kaya tahimik ko siyang dinaanan.

"We'll be ahead already", malamig na sabi ni Zimram kay sakanya.

After a long ride plus our layover, this travel took my whole energy, di ko nga masyadong na appreciate na andito na ako sa Australia or baka sinapian nanaman ako ng tamad?

We are specifically here in Melbourne, Australia, waiting for our service that Zimram hired. My eyes caught an attention of a man walking toward ud. He has this aura, facial features; his built is like almost the same with my boyfriend but what really caught my attention was his blue eyes.

When I felt someone held my waist, it's Zimram. I smiled cutely at him para di ako mahalatang malapit ko ng maging pantasya yung lalaking iyon and he just stared at me coldly.

"Zim, Bro, finally!", I was shocked that Zimram knows the guy awhile ago. Malamig na tinanguan ni Zimram yung lalake. "Woah, woah what a great welcome", natatawang sabi niya then he looked at me then at my waist where Zimram is helding me.

"You're girl?", he suddenly ask.

Tumingin ako sa reaction ni Zimram na nanatiling malamig at tinaasan niya ito ng isang kilay, "Braille, obviously?", gusto kong tumawa sa kanyang reaction pero tumahimik nalang muna ako. His friend looked at me down to up with his suspicious blue eyes.

I saw how Zimram rolled his eyes, shet pano kaya plot story nito sila pala tapos kontrabida ako? "Braille, this is Scarlet. Scarlet, Braille", he introuduced. "Hi!", I greeted sa future na magiging karibal ko. "I like your skin, tan", he said. I just smile, syempre normal Filipina ako eh.

"Nice to meet you thou!", he jolly raise his hands for an apir, I lowkey just tap his hand. He put his hands at his pockets at nauna siyang nag lakad sa amin.

"Don't tell me, you like him?", Zimram asked, natawa lang ako.

"Well, your friend is handsome", I said truthfully. He raised his eyebrows and poted, "Well, he's my friend, same feathers flocks together", he said smirkishly. I like his mindset so rational, cute.

"But don't compliment him, lalaki ulo non", he said.

"Parang ikaw", asar ko sakanya.

Napahinto kami ng huminto ng lakad si Braille. He gave his friend a weird look, "Bro, never in my life, you'll be that PDA", maarte niyang sabi. I chuckled at his remark. "Okay, Braille. Whatever you say", sagot naman ni ZImram sa kanya.

Natatawa ako sa friendship nila, mukha silang awkward pero kung makikita mo sa mukha nila mukha silang weirdo.

"Are you ready, my Lord?", sarcastic na pinagbuksan ni Braille si Zimram, bago siya pumasok clinose agad ito ni Braille na akala ko maiipit na si Zimram.

"You thought, bro", asar ni Braille sakanya at pinakyuhan lang siya ni ZImram.Pumasok na ako sa sasakyan, kung kanino man toh.

Me and ZImram, we seated at the backseat, and Braille of course is our driver for today.Tahimik lang kami, "Pagod ka na ba?", I asked Zimram, he nodded at me.

I saw Braille's eyes were on us. Obvously, di siya nakakaintindi ng tagalog. "Kain muna tapos tulog ba?"

"Yeah", he said sleepily. "Wait...", I heard Braille whispered something.

He suddenly park the car, tumingin ako sa labas nasa highway palang naman kami, "Are you a Filipina?", gulat na tanong niya sa akin,na napaakbay si Zimram sa akin.

"Yeah...", I said slowly. Ang mga asul niyang mga mata ay lumaki at tumingin kay Zimram, naka nganga pa. "Oh shit, bro! Are you serious?", He asked to Zimram naman. Napakamot pa siya ulo niya na parang problema ito.

We heard him sigh so loud and started the engine again, "You owe me some fairy tail stories, my treat for later", Braille said. "I'll see", Zimram answered coldly. Feel ko talaga may past itong dalawa, medyo di na ako nakakahabol sa sinasabi nila or baka kasi English?

Tumingin ako sa mirror na nasa harapan ko nakita kong nakatitig sa akin si Braille parang sinasabi niyang kumbinsihin ko si Zimram na kausapin siya mamaya. I combed Zimram's hair because he is leaning at me.

"Baby...", I whispered.

"Hmmm", he groaned. He really is tired. "You rest well, then later samahan mo si Braille kahit 2 hrs. kawawa naman oh, he missed you and you owe him something", convincing him. He just nodded at mukhang nakatulog na siya.

Nagising nalang ako ng may naglalaro na sa buhok ko, hindi ko namalayan kanina na nakatulog ako. "We're almost there", Zimram whispered at me. "Okay".

"Samahan mo si Braille mamaya ah", paalala ko sakanya. Kumunot ang kanyang noo, "I know, you don't need to remind me", he said.

"Why? Mag papareto ka?", he asked out of nowhere.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA", natawa ako sa pagkasabi niya na ang seryoso. Napatingin na rin sa akin si Braille sa sobrang lakas ng tawa ko.

"Alam mo pwede ka ng maging joker", I said while chuckling, he just shot me his cold eyes.

Tumikhim ng malakas si Braille kaya ako natigil kakatawa. "We're here already", he informed us.

I looked outside the window; in front of me is a huge building with a great front view. The design is so perfect, sobrang ganda. This is my first time to go here in Australia, I never thought na this place would be coller than I thought. Zimram caught my attention, "Let's go?", he said.

The moment that we went out from the car, the air of Autralia is already approaching my sense.I never thought travelling would be this living. I wasted my time in focusing to be lazy.

"The place is so beautiful".

He looked at me, his eyes were so delightful and it's my first time to see those eyes.
