As soon as I open the sliding door, the people on the garden looked at me. They are all men, well may bakla den. I think theres a two gay in this garden, di ko sure yung isa dahil galawang lalaki ito  but he has a long hair. I don’t like judging people through their physical appearance also the I deals of feminist are pretty.

“Gino, I want you to meet my sister Paris, she was my sister that I told you about” Kuya Marvin introduced me to his friend named Gino “Paris this is Gino, the friend of mine”

I swallowed the lump in my throat as my gaze met the eyes of Kuya’s friend. Inabot sa akin ni Gino ang kanyang kamay which I responded by shaking it firmly. “Nice meeting you Paris”

“Yes, it was nice meeting you too” I replied. He’s staring at my face and the smile on his lips didn’t fade. I remember that I erased my make up earlier. Nag sisimula na akong mahiya dahil ramdam ko mula sa gilid ko ay nakatingin din yung iba pang kaibigan ni Kuya.

“take a seat. Paris right?” the gay I mention earlier said. Pinag hila nya ako ng upuan sa tabi ni Kuya pero hindi ako don umupo, minabuti ko na lamang na umupo sa bakanteng upuan na kung saan kinakauupuan ni Ateng bakla.

“Yes po Paris” I replied “Sorry, ayoko maupo sa tabi ni Kuya. Baka mag dilim paningin ko maitusok ko sa mata nya yung tinidor na hawak ko”

They all laughed. They started to talk about something but I am not interested. So instead of listening I continue eating because I am so hungry as well as I am tired. I badly want to have a good sleep.

“I still cant believe that I met your sister Marvin” Gino said

“Gandang ganda ka dyan?” Kuya asked

“Maganda naman talaga yung kapatid mo but I didn’t feel any sexual attraction towards her” Gino replied. Nanlalaki ang mata ko syang tinignan “I mean never kitang magugustuhan kahit maganda ka, you see? I have a girlfriend”

“Patay ka kay Veron, Boss G” sabad ng isa sa mga kaibigan ni Kuya. Tumawa sila ng makitang namutla ang muka ni Gino, maski tuloy ako ay natawa.

“Sus, Gino! Ayan maganda? Muka ngang impokrita” Kuya said, binasag ang masayang atmosphere.

“Palibhasay kamuka mo si Kaja sa sobrang haba ng nguso mo” patungkol ko sa isang hero sa ml na kung saan muka syang bibe na may hawak na latigo. Lahat sila ay nag sipag tawanan maliban sa kuya kong uto uto

“Baby oh. Inaaway ako” My brother started to act like a baby. Nag sumbong sya sa baklang katabi nya pero tinawanan lang sya neto. Baka nahihiya syang suwayin ako.

Tumayo ako at ngumiti ng pag ka tamis tamis sakanila “Hi im Paris Castaneda. I am very pleased to meet yall”

“No, the pleasure is mine” the guy in my front said “By the way im Christian” and they all started to introduce they’re self as well. Nakikipag kamay pa yung iba at masaya ko naman iyong tinatanggap. Dahil nga wala akong ayos sa muka ay hindi ko sila ganong tinitignan dahil sa hihiya ako sa kapangitan ng pag mumuka ko.

Mischievous

I suddenly remember the corny name. Mischievous? Seriously? Sa Canada ay hindi ganyan yung pinapangalan nila sa grupo nila. Well, asa Pilipinas nga pala ako. bat ko ba kasi pinagkukumpara ang dalawang mag kaibigang bansa? Tss. stupid

Theres a long silence so I guess I have to ask some question, para na din mapunan yung utak ko “Uhm, sikat ba dito yung grupo na Mischievous?” they all said yes.

“Diba taga canada ka? Bakit mo sila kilala?” Jay asked

“Uhm, I just heard theyre name sa airport. Pinag uusapan ng dalawang babae”

“Chismosa kapala e.” Sabat ni Kuya Marvin

“Malakas kasi boses nila kaya ko na rinig. Stupid”

“Sus, palusot. Chismosang hilaw!”

I just ignored him and continue asking about the group mischievous “Can I see their faces? I heard they are a good player and they are good looking as well.”

“Ohhhh” they all said maliban nga lang sa kuya kong impakto

Baby showed their photo. Yes, they are right. Mga gwapo nga ang mga to. “Anong masasabi mo?” baby asked

“Mmm, gwapo nga sila. Lahat sila.” I answered habang puno at dinadagdagan ang laman ng bibig ko. Yumm sarap. “But I didn’t find something special towards them.”

“Sayang naman. Akala ko mag kakajowa na si Nash e” Christian said

“But someon caught my attention. The one with the glasses? Who is he?”

“ah si Nash” Jay answered

“Nash?”

“Oo” they all answered in unison. It seemed like they are happy for I don’t know the reason was.

“uhm can you link me on him? I wanted that nash to be my boyfriend. I heard he’s a good guy. Maybe he can take care of me. right kuya?” I said and they shouted and jump in happiness

“Finally pare mag kakajowa kanaaaaaa” Jay shouted. I shifted my gazed at him only to see a guy sitting in a chair at pinag kakaguluhan ng kaibigan ni Kuya. Paulit ulit nilang sinisigaw na mag kakajowa na si Nash.

“Nathaniel tumayo ka nga at mag pakilala ka sa magandang dilag na nasa harapan natin ngayon” Gino said, tumingin ako sakanya at nagulat pako dahil may hawak sya na camera at animong nag vavlog. “Pakilala mo lahat. Name , ign, age”

Tumayo yung tinawag ni Kuya Gino na Nathaniel and to my surprise he is the man that I was looking for. Tinignan ko isa isa ang mga taong nakapaligid sakin. Mas lalo akong nahiya nang Makita kong pamilyar ang iba sa kanila. Sila yung pinakita ni baby sakin kanina. Parang gusto ko nalang mag palapa sa lupa dala ng kahihiyan. Tinignan ko yung kapatid ko para sana manghingi ng tulong ngunit tinawanan nya lang ako. Walang kwenta!

Lumapit si Nathaniel sakin at inabot nya ang kanyang kamay “Nathaniel Ashly is my name. ign ko Nash tapos 18 years old”

Inabot ko yung kamay ko sakanya. Diko alam kung saan ako humuhugot ng lakas ng loob na tignan sya ng deresto sa mga mata. Napaka simple nya, kahit na nakasalamin ay makikita mo pa din yung kagwapuhan nya. Malayo pa lang ay maamoy mona yung mabangong amoy nya, kahit na nakasalamin ay makikita padin yung kagandahan at kislap ng kanyang chinitong mata.

“Paris right?” he added

“No” I answered which made him laugh

“What should I call you?”

“Love” they all shouted on my answer but the guy in front of me laughed

“Teka nga Paris. Akala ko ba ayaw mo sa mga pogi?” panira ng kapatid ko sa magandang usapan

Tinignan ko sya at inirapan “ayoko nga”

“oh bat gusto mo si Nash?” sarkastiko nyang tanong “Gwapo yan”

“I hate handsome guy but Nash is an exemption. I know he is handsome inside and out” I said while looking at Nash. For the nth time they shouted.

“Hindot” he acted like a gay to which made me laugh.

I didn’t know that the chance would present itself to me now. Umalis yung katabi ko kanina sa upuan at doon nila pinaupo si Nash. Sa tabi ko. it was fine with me pero mukang ilang at nahihiya sya. Diko alam kung bakit, siguro napangitan sakin. Siguro nabahuan sakin. Wala pakong ligo simula ng makarating akong airport hanggang sa dalhin ako ni Kuya dito. Ako na. ako na yung model na dugyot.

We finish eating with joy, Kuya and the rest of his friend stayed in the garden pero ako nag paalam na akong mag papahinga at maliligo na. syempre hindi mawawala yung entry ni kuya. Tinawag ba naman akong kokey. Happy sya don, sapakin ko yung muka nong bisakol e. tss.
