CHAPTER 09
"I feel so bad for your grandpa."
Tumawa siya. "You were supposed to be invited."
"Talaga?!" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko. "Hindi nga?"
"Oo nga. But things were rough because aleng Linda won't let me in your unit."
Oo nga pala. I asked aleng Linda for it... Nagbabakasakali kasi akong pupunta siya ng unit ko para sumbatan ako sa ginawa ko sa kanya- which he would never do but as I've said I was close minded and asshole for thinking about that before- kaya pinakiusapan ko si aleng Linda.
"Sayang..." laking pagsisisi ko habang sabay naming pinapanood ang film noong birthday ni doctor Wilson Senior.
Pinrank kasi ito ni Zane at ng iba niyang second and third cousins daw. Despite of how scared the old man was because Zane had to act as a bad guy and kidnapped him, there was a faint smile from his face when they reached the swimming pool area and unblinded him. Kitang kita sa dalawang mata ng matanda kung gaano siya kasaya habang sinorpresa at kinantahan siya ng mga tao sa paligid. The old man was only wearing his pajamas, madaling araw kasi 'yon.
Big boss was the one who took over the camera when everyone were starting to sang a happy birthday while the cake was arriving. Medyo magulo ang paligid at lahat sila naka-pantulog lang. Pero halatang nage-enjoy naman sila.
"Make a wish, Lo!" someone shouted.
Pagkatapos mag-blow ng candles ay hindi na nawala ang ngiti sa mukha niya. I immediately smiled too when I saw how doctor Wilson Senior tear up. Such a lovely grandfather.
Nagkainan na sila, at nakatutok ang video sa mga taong kumukuha ng pagkain sa hapagkainan. It was a buffet kind of style. Ang daming iba't ibang klase ng pagkain ang nakahanda. Kita rin sa gilid ang swimming pool na kumikislap sa linis at linaw ng tubig.
"Hoy kuya Zach!" tawag nung lalakeng hula ko ay nasa kolehiyo pa. Nasa harapan lang ito ng camera.
Everyone caught in the video was all good looking. Ang gaganda at gwapo ng lahi nila. Nakita ko nga rin ang Papa ata ni Zane dahil hawig sa kanya at ang gwapo kahit matanda na. His girl cousins are pretty too!
Hindi umimik si Zane sa likuran ng camera.
"Kain ka na, kuya," sabi naman nung babaeng katabi nung lalake.
"Hindi ata 'yan kakain. Heartbroken si Zach," hagip sa camera ang matangkad na babaeng sexy habang nagkakamay na kumakain. Maikli ang buhok nito at litaw na litaw ang ganda. Magkasing edad lang ata kami.
Nagulat ako ng pinause ni big boss ang video at kinuha palayo sa akin ang laptop.
"Hala, ang daya! Hindi pa tapos 'yong video."
"Tapos na 'yon doon," sabi niya at agad pinatay ang laptop niya.
"Hala, ang daya ni Zach," tukso ko at agad naman akong sinamaan ng tingin ni big boss.
"I don't really liked that name. Tinatawag lang nila ako nang ganun kapag aasarin ako."
"Ay, ganun ba, Zach."
Mas sumama lalo ang tingin niya sa akin.
"Joke lang!" bawi ko agad. Mahirap nang galitin si big boss, 'no.
But come to think of it, I liked teasing him. Mas gumagwapo kasi siya sa paningin ko kapag naaasar o napipikon.
"But I like Zach," I said without thinking. Ang nice kaya ng Zach.
Narinig ko ang mahinang tawa ni big boss kaya tinignan ko siya at may mapanuksong ngiti na sa labi nito. Gone was the pissed face.
"You like me?" he said, acting so shocked.
