WTSF 01 - Where It All Began
Reese's POV
Saturday.
It was just a regular day.
I was busy cooking our lunch while listening to 'Last Hurrah' by Bebe Rexha.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
"Yo Reese!"
"Ay pitong puti na tupa!"
Nagulat ako nang makita ko si Haru. Ang lintek naming kapitbahay.
"Hahaha! Grabe ka naman magulat, Reese. Asan nga pala si tita?" he asked, smiling.
Akala niya naman maganda ang ngiti niya. Yuck.
"Si mama? Check our backyard. At talagang feel at home kang kupal ka?" pabalang ako sumagot.
He just brushed it off with a laugh.
"Aray naman, Rhina. Maka kupal 'to. Eh di ano ka? Bruha?"
Goodness! I don't even know why we have a neighbor like him.
Kaasar siya.
"Grr. Manahimik ka nga dyan, kupal! Puntahan mo na si mama bago ko pa ma-isipang itapon ang sandok na hawak-hawak ko!"
If looks could kill? He would be double dead by now.
"Why so pikon naman Reese?" he didn't faltered.
"I said, stop bothering the fuck out of me you jer—"
Before I could even finish venting out my anger, I suddenly felt chills.
Uh-oh..
"Ops, ano ang narinig ko na salita Rhina? Fuck ba? Eh kung fuck-fuck-in ko yang bibig mo gamit ng martilyo?"
Oh shoot. I'm screwed.
Waaaahh! Lamunin sana ako ng lupa! Narinig ako ni mama. Huhu.
"M-mama naman eh. Hehe. Sige na ma, yung niluluto ko baka mapano pa."
Woooh ang gandang palusot!
"Tsk tsk tsk. Ikaw talagang bata ka."
Bumaling si mama kay kupal.
"Oh, andito ka pala Tyler? Aber, anong masamang hangin ang nagtulak sa'yo papunta rito?"
"May hihiramin lang po ako tita. Garden shovel po at gloves." he responded sheepishly.
"Eh, ano. Yung anak ko, hindi mo ba hihiramin?" tanong ni mama sabay hagikhik.
I know it's just a joke made by my own mother, pero damn. Hindi nakakatuwa.
"Pwede rin po tita kung payag po kayo." kupal said it with oozing confidence.
My mother just laughed as a response.
I rolled my eyes before interrupting them.
"Ma, hindi ka na nakakatuwa. At ikaw kupal, kunin mo na ang need mo and you layas na. Shoo!"
Natatawang umalis na nga ang walang hiyang kupal after niya makuha ang kailangan niya while my dearest mama decided to glare at me.
"Ma, 'yang mga biro mo hindi nakakatuwa. Mabuti pa, we eat nalang." pag-aya ko kay mama.
"Hmph. Ang choosy mo naman anak. Tawagin ko nalang nga ang ate at kuya mo." sambit niya, sabay irap.
Kumembot pa alis si mother dear para mang-istorbo kay ate Reigne at kuya Haze kaya naisipan ko nalang mag-ayos ng hapag.
Maya-maya, bumungad sa akin ang kuya ko na ubod ng gwapo.
"Oh, Rhina, may chika si mama. Hahaha. Pikon ka talaga."
Ay.. Shuta? Hindi pala ubod ng gwapo, kundi ubod ng pangit.
"Chismoso ka talaga kuya. Wengya! Kumain ka na dyan!"
Kaasar mga mamsh.
"Balita ko Reese—"
May bumungad na naman po na dalawang extra. Hay nako.
"Oh? What kind of news na naman ba ang nasagap ng chismosang froglet kong sistar?" pang-aasar ko kay ate.
"Na andito kanina si Haru." she said with a smirk.
Nagbingi-bingihan lang ako sa sinabi niya.
"Ah oo nga pala. May nakita sana akong OT12 poster ng EXO nung sumadya ako kahapon sa bayan. Ang gwapo pa naman dun ni Kris at D.O. Bibilhin ko nga sana bukas, kaso wag nalang." I fired back.
Nanlumo bigla si ate.
Got ya.
"Buy me that OT12 poster! And kung meron posters ng MAMAMOO at EVERGLOW isabay mo na. Huhu. Sorry na bunso." pagmamaka-awa ni ate.
Lol.
"Then stop shipping me with that kupal. Ano ako? Item sa shoppe para lang iship niyo? That's a no no."
"Ano ka ba naman, 'nak. Joke joke lang yun. Pero kung may gusto talaga 'yun sa'yo, boto ako sa inyo." seryosong sambit ni mama.
"Si mama talaga. Wooohh. Alam niyo naman na pihikan ako sa mga lalaki. And I don't need a man to validate my existence."
I already shot down the idea of falling in love with a man in the real world. I don't need a man.
Pero need ko si Rosh ahihi.
"Hala, ikaw Reigne, magligpit ka ng pinagkainan. Haze, puntahan mo si tiyo Andrus mo sa kabila, sabihin mong pinapunta ko." utos ni mama.
Ako naman ang binalingan ng tingin.
"At ikaw naman Reese, dun ka na sa kwarto mo. Di ka na namin need dito sa baba. Echos lang. Mag-aral ka na dun sa taas, bilis."
Ikaw kaya mama ang echos! Hmphh. Charot~
"Opo."
Sumunod ako sa utos ni mother dear bago pa ako malatigo.
But instead of studying, I decided to open my fan account. I thought of posting about what happened earlier just to vent out. So I did.
I didn't expected what happened next.
Many of my co-VCAs commented their thoughts down. Most of them approved our 'ship' and they are kinikilig.
Huhu. Buti sana kung si Rosh siya di ba? Payag sana ako. Ahuhu.
I interacted with them. But one comment caught my attention..
Hechicera M.V.
Ang cute nito! Hihi. I suggest you should make this into a story, y'know? Or kung ayaw mo, ako nalang gagawa!
A story huh? I don't mind.. Not at all.
So I typed my reply and lay on my bed.
A siesta wouldn't be bad.
The next thing I knew, Hypnos lulled me to sleep.

I can grant you a happily ever after, or no forever after. At all.
Trade with me, and I'll reward you what you ask for. But there's a price to every deal.
What she doesn't know that this is just the beginning.
Who knows?
