Through the Storm

CHAPTER 4

We just finished eating.

"Grabe sobrang busog ko na, di ako makatayo" EJ said

"Sa dami mong nakain, panong hindi ka mabubusog?!" KC replied with her Batangas accent, again

Natawa kaming apat until..

"Who farted?!" Tanong ni Jaja

"Not me" my reply without hesitation habang tumatawa

"Hindi rin ako!" EJ said

"""Alam na""" sabi naming tatlo. Alam na namin ang hilatsa ng isa't isa, hindi makapagsalita si Lance at ganun ang amoy ng utot niya kapag busog.

We all laughed.

Lance immediately changed the topic.

"Tara na. Ihahatid ko na kayo!" pagyayakag ni Lance

"C'mon EJ, tayo ka na, magdidilim na oh!" I said

"Eto na, eto na, tatayo na, nangwawarshock ka eh" he replied and again, we all laughed.

Una muna namin inihatid si Jaja saka si EJ, sunod kami ni KC dahil nasa iisang subdivision lang kami.

Nakarating na kami kina KC

"Wait, our car is here!" sabi ko

"Oo nga, baka nandito sina Tito Carlo at Tita Kat " KC replied

"W-What, why? Nandito sila kahapon tapos nandito rin sila ngayon. Well, obviously, dito na rin ako, bye Lance." I said

""Ingat, Lance!"" I and KC said

Umalis na si Lance at ang driver niya.

"Nakakotse pa sila, lapit lang naman ng bahay" I said, medyo malayo pero malapit lang naman bahay namin dito eh.

KC giggled.

Binuksan na niya yung gate at saka kami dumeretso sa front door.

The door opens.

"Hey, mom! " she said

My Mom and my sister, Katlyn were here

"Hi baby, kasama mo ba si Gabby?" Tita Kae said, nasa kusina si Tita.

"Yes, Mom!"

"Hi po Tita, Hi Katlyn!!!" She said

"Oh, looks like you guys went on a date!" Katlyn said

Hindi ako makaimik, naka pajama silang lahat.

"Hindi ah, nagsamgyup lang kami with friends. Saka ba't namin kami magdedate, nyii" KC replied.

"Oh, okay, hahaha wala lang I just thought nagdate kayo" Katlyn replied

"Mom, why are we here again?" I said

"Ayaw mo ba? We're gonna hangout, dito tayo matutulog" mom replied

"What! Why?" I said while shooketh na shooketh

"Ano ka ba, Gab, minsan lang naman eh"

Minsan lang?!! Every Saturday ata dito kami natutulog tapos every Friday sila natutulog sa'min, I can't understand, hays, I think that's what friends are for nga talaga.

"Ma, Intramurals tomorrow" I said.

"Intrams lang naman 'yan"

"Maglalaro ako bukas"

"Edi maglaro ka, matutulog lang naman tayo dito, hindi naman kita patitirahin dito"

"Hay nako, Kat, malay mo in the future, dito rin siya tumira!" Tita Kae said habang nakasilip sa sala
