Chapter 24: Coin

"Do you really want this painting?" I asked while staring at the canvas I made myself. Actually, painting wasn't my expertise. I didn't expect this painting to turn out well. So I am asking Vince if he really meant spending P1,500 for this simple painting.

"Yes, sorry kung kailangan pa kitang agawan. I know that you like it too," he said. I gave him a sideward glance and saw his gaze focused on the painting. "Just remembered something from this painting."

"Ah, ano?" painosente kong tanong even though I know his answer.

"Hmm, this scenario resembles the first time I saw Marra face-to-face," nakangiting sabi niya at hinarap ako kaya humarap na rin ako sa kaniya.

"Ayy, oo nga pala 'no?" nakangiting tanong ko. He nodded and smirked.

"Naaalala ko ring nakapaa ka lang noon." I frowned after hearing what he said. He still remembered it! That's so embarrassing!

"Yeah, my sister told me na para raw akong tanga right after seeing me barefooted," I said and chuckled awkwardly.

"Hindi, ah? Ang cute mo nga noon eh," natatawang sabi niya. I just rolled my eyes. "You looked like a fourteen-year old girl, possessed by a three-year-old kid." He laughed, I just frowned. Swear, it's so embarrassing!

"Ang awkward kasi! We both have the same limited edition shoes," I complained.

"That's a privilege, Shane." He chuckled and shook his head. I just pouted my lips. "I never thought that we would be best friends," he whispered.

"Never expected too," I said. "By the way, you can get it na. It's dry na naman."

"Yeah. Pero si Audrey ba talaga gumawa nito?" My eyes widened, I avoided his gaze and pretended to wipe off the excess dirt on the canvas.

"Yup, are you doubting her skills?" natatawang tanong ko.

"Luh, hindi naman. I'm just asking kasi parang gawa ni Leonardo da Vinci at Raphael Santi ang painting eh," he said, complimenting the painting. "So, ano? Una na ako?" he asked after I gave it to him. I nodded as a response.

"Sure, hatid na kita," I said.

"Ano ako? Bata? Kailangang ihatid?" he said while chuckling.

"Yup! Ang layo pa kasi ng uuwian mo, eh," I said sarcastically. He gasped as he exaggeratedly covered his mouth.

"Joke ba 'yon?" he asked. I just put my hands on my waist and raised a brow. "Sabi ko nga, joke 'yon." I smirked.

"Oh, Matthew!" I looked at the door and I saw Mommy and Daddy there, kagagaling lang ni Mom sa hospital at si Dad naman ay galing sa company. Nginitian ko sila samantalang nagmano naman si Vince sa mga magulang ko.

"Good evening po," he greeted.

"What are you doing here, hijo?" Mommy asked.

"Ah, nag-mall po kasi kami ni Shane, kasama po sila Zeus at Audrey. Hinatid ko po siya rito at kukunin ko rin po sana itpng painting," Vince replied courteously.

"Oh, it's nice. Is it your painting, 'nak?" tanong ni Mommy kaya bahagyang nanlaki ang mga mata ko.

"N-No, it's Audrey's..." sagot ko.
