27. Just A Little More
...
Even though years had already passed may mga bagay pa ring hindi nagbabago. Tulad ngayon, we're at kuya Zandro's house having a small dinner celebration for his birthday. He want to spend his day nang ganito kasimple, just with his family and friends.
Tanging paghinga at tunog ng mga kubyertos ang ingay na madidinig sa buong kwarto, walang ni-isang nais bumasag sa nakakabinging katahimikan. Tila ba bawat isa ay may kanya-kanyang mundo.
"Ganito ba talaga dito?" bulong sakin ni Amie.
Pinigilan kong hindi matawa dahil sa ekspresyon nito. First time nya dito, she just tagged along with Pia. Sa pagkakaalam ko dumayo lang siya ng syudad para mag-aral at pansamantalang nakikitira sa pinsan niya kaya hindi nya gaanong kilala ang mga Villa Gracia.
"Oo kaya masanay ka na"
This kind of atmosphere is only due to some circumstances though.
"Do you have plans to stay here for good?" tanong ni kuya Dos.
Kuya Dos is kuya Zandro's bestfriend at kapatid ni Pia. He likes to travel kaya bihira ko lang sya makita but for some reason close kami.
"Yeah, I don't want it to be long distance relationship. Nowadays, its hard to work on it"
Half-american half-filipino, lean body, attractive bluish eyes, a very expensive looking guy, that's Allen Peyton and above all- the boyfriend. Shan's boyfriend to be exact.
"Indeed, ldr doesn't lasts long nowadays"
Napaangat ako ng tingin matapos sumang-ayon ni kuya Dos. I didn't expect that, isn't he supposed to disagree since he's the type who doesn't settle in one place?
"I can see why you're still single" I murmured. Hindi ko inaasahang maririnig nya pa yun.
"What's that supposed to mean? I'm single because I want too"
"Lies, you're single because a certain person rejected you" I muttered while pointing my fork on him.
His mouth hanged open, pfft I tried my best na hindi sabayan ang nakakalokong tawa ni kuya Zandro, his reaction is so damn funny.
"Rejected? Who the hell on earth would reject this face" pagbawi nito.
I guess normal na sa kanila ang pagiging mayabang, though he's right naman, he has the face that a normal lady would go crazy for. It just too bad na ang babaeng gusto nya is not someone who's gonna settle with a guy just because he has a pretty face.
"Right. You can't even confess because you're chickening out. I apologize that's so uncalled for" I sarcastically said na mas ikinatawa ni kuya Zandro.
"What the hell? Anong pinagtuturo mo dito sa batang to Zandro?"
I rolled my eyes after akong dinuro ni kuya Dos. Psh do I look like a kid to him? Palibhasa butthurt.
Somehow nawala ang nakakailang na tensyon, medyo gumaan dahil naging sentro si kuya Dos ng tuksuhan. Nagsimula na rin ang magaang kwentuhan, mostly about sa career and business.
"That's weird, you knew kuya Dos more than I do" sambit ni Amie sa tabi ko.
"Dahil kahit si kuya Dos tinatarayan mo, tingnan mo yang hipon namumula sa takot sayo"
I flinched when she stepped on my foot. Grabe talaga ang babaeng to napakasadista.
"Gagi masakit yun" I hissed but she just ignore me.
"Pikon" asar na sabi ko kaya isang muling pagtapak sa paa ang natanggap ko sa kanya. Napangiwi na lang ako sa sakit.
"Are you alright?" biglang tanong ni Kyna na nasa harap lang namin.
