"What's with the sour face?" Mabilis akong napalingon sa pinang galingan ng boses. Nasa balcony ako ng Mansion namin at nakatanaw sa mga pinsan kong naglalaro ng basketball sa court ng Mansion nila Kuya Yvo. The problem is, Silas is with them, at ngayong nakita ko sya, naalala ko lang ang nangyari sa Club!
"Ate Saf!"
"Problem?" Nakataas ang kilay na sabi nito, mabilis akong umiling at huminga ng malalim, humawak ako sa railing ng balcony at binalik ang tingin kina Kuya Yvo.
"Wala ate." tangi ko na ikinatawa nya na nagpabalik ng tingin ko sakanya.
"Oh come on Cass, we may not be raised together but occasionally nagkikita tayo, we spent together our summer vacations yearly kaya kilalang kilala na kita." Nakasmirk na sabi ni Ate Saf. Napalabi ako sa sinabi nya, she is right kilala nga nya talaga ako at alam ko na kahit anong deny ko ay malalaman at malalaman nya na nagsisinungaling lang ako.
"I am just pissed.." Huminga uli ako ng malalim. "Kuya Yvo's friend is irritating!" Tukoy ko kay Silas na ngayon ay hinubad ang suot na pang itaas, malayo man ako ay kita ko ang ganda ng katawan nito napairap ako sa inis.
"And why is that?" The pitch of her voice went up, meaning interesado sya sa sinasabi ko.
"Let go of me, or else isusumbong kita kay Kuya-"
"Rue?" Halos manigas ako sa kinatatayuan ko ng bigla nyang tawagin ang pangalan ni Kuya Rue. Is Kuya Rue really here? Or this guy is just playing a trick on me?
"Hey bro!" Ganting sigaw mula sa likod ko. My heart almost stopped beating when I heard Kuya Rue’s voice. I can't believe that he is here!
What is he doing here?
"Woah, who's that sexy little thing?"
I literally stood frozen when I heard his voice behind me, pag nakita nya ako for sure isusumbong nya ako kay Kuya Yvo! And Kuya Yvo will let Kuya Evans know! Nagpromise pa naman ako kuy Kuya Evans na magbebehave dito sa Palawan.
"My girlfriend, so back off dude!" Natatawang sabi ni Silas sabay hapit saakin palapit sa ka yang katawan, nilagay nya ang kamay nya sa ulo ko at isinandal nya ang mukha ko dibdib nya na para bang itininatago nya ako mula kay Kuya Rue.
I gasped.
Is he helping me? I hope so! Cause I don't want to be busted!
"Hey! You Greek guy! Kailan ka pa nag ka girlfriend? Ang sabihin mo, girl of the month mo?!" Natatawang sabi ni Kuya Rue na Okinawa ikot ng mata ko. Even I will not believe him if he tells me na may girlfriend sya because everyone knows that he don’t. Do girlfriends, he is not into commitment and he is not the serious type.
"Don't worry di ko sya aagawin sayo, just introduce me to her, I want to see how your girl looks like, beside she seem so familiar."
Napahawak ako sa damit sa ni Silas, wala sa loob akong napakapit na tila ba natatakot, mukhang naramdaman naman iyon ni Silas dahil biglang humigpit ang pag yakap ng braso nya sa likod ko, habang ang isa nyang kamay ay biglang humaplos sa likod ko na para bang pinakakalma ako.
Tsansig ha!
"I'm sorry Dude, but I'm selfish I don't intend to share what's mine, so just leave us alone because you are disturbing us." Seryosong sabi nito sabay hawi sa buhok ko sa may balikat, I almost cringed when I suddenly felt his lips on my bared shoulder.’
He is taking advantage of the situation!
"f**k dude! Go get a room! Nang iingit ka pa eh!" Natatawang sabi ni Kuya Rue. "I'll go ahead, enjoy!" Sandali kong hinintay na mawala si Kuya Rue sa likod ko bago ko mabilis na tinulak ang nakangising si Silas.
"What was that for?!" Inis kong sabi. Inirapan ko sya sa inis! Not because he helped me ay mang tsa- tsansing na sya!
"You mean thank you?" Pigil ang ngiti nyang tanong.
Tinaasan ko sya ng kilay.
"And why would I say thank you? You took advantage of me! You..You-" Hindi ko maituloy ang sasabihin sa kawalan nang saluting gagamitin.
"I kissed your shoulder-"
"Shut up!" I glared at him, his handsome face shows how amused he is. "Don't you dare tell anyone about it!" Banta ko sakanya.
He laughed, then he caressed my cheeks. "Don't worry, it's our little dirty secret." nakasmirk nyang sabi.
I exhaled harshly and shook my head before I decided to leave him alone.
Pasalamat talaga sya gwapo sya!
Mabilis Ang kilos ko na umami’s sa dance floor.
I must find Azalea, Baka aksidenteng magkita sila hi Kuya Rue!
"Basta.." Sabi ko sabay tingin sa malayo.
"Okay..just a reminder Cous, don't get attracted to him..he doesn't do relationships."
"Ate Saf! I know! At wala akong balak malink sa griyego na yan, Greek guys are hot, too hot that girls flock around them and that would be a serious problem." Naiiling kong sabi, samantalang nakangisi naman syang tumango. “Besides, he is not my type, his personality is too intense for me plus the fact that he is much older than me!”
”Hmnnn..Hindi naman ganun kalayo ang agwat ng edad not.” She said before she took a sip on her iced coffee.
”If he is Kuya Yvo’s friend then he is what? Three years or four years older than me.” I pointed out.
”Three to four years is a good age gap.” She shrugged na ikina kunot ng noo ko.
”Hey.. you’re supposed to be agreeing with me diba, since you just warned me about him.”
“I’m just saying na three to four years is a good age gap, yun lang.” natatawa nyang sabi na ikinanguso ko.
"Hey, what are you two doing in here?" Sabay kaming napalingon kay Azalea. Nakataas kilay itong nakapamaywang na para bang nagdududa saamin.
"Wala nagkukwentuhan lang." Mabilis kong sabi, inunahan ko na mag salita si Ate Saf dahil baka kung ano pa masabi nito.
"Ikaw, what are you doing here? Kanina lang nasa court ka ha?" Nagkibit balikat itong lumapit saamin habana hinahaplos ang mahaba nyang buhok na alagang salon.
"Ayoko na doon, nakakainis ang ngisi ni Kuya Silas. Good mood masyado." Sagot nya kay Ate Saf.
"So? What's wrong with that? Masama na bang maging good mood ngayon?" Taas kilay din tanong ni Ate Saf. Minsan talaga gusto ko isipin na magkapatid ang dalawang ito, parehas silang mahilig mag taas ng kilay at mag pamewang!
"Kasi nga ate! Inaasar siya nila Kuya Rue! Sabi kasi ni Kuya Rue, nakita nya kagabi si Kuya Silas na may kasama na babae, at mukhang nakascore daw si Kuya Silas! Kadiri lang pinag uusapan nila yon habang andoon ako, buti nalang inutusan ako ni Kuya Yvo, pero I think inutusan lang nya ako para mawala ako doon!"
"Hmp! Boys! Sila pa itong mas kiss and tell!" Ate Saf Rolled her eyes.
"But you know what, ayaw pag usapan ni Kuya Silas yung girl, sabi nya they should leave him alone dahil he won't tell a single soul about the girl's identity! Kaya ayon mas lalo syang inasar nila Kuya Rue." Nakangiting kwento ni Azalea.
I stood frozen, ni hindi ako makapag react sa ikinukwento ni Azalea. Tama bang I assume ko na ako iyon?! Or maybe may nakilala syang babae pag kaalis ko? Ako man o hindi ang tinutukoy ni Azalea, nakaramdam ako ng pagbilis ng t***k ng puso ko.
"Hey, Cous, you alright?" You look pale!" Nag aalalang tanong ni Azalea sabay kapa sa ulo ko.
"I'm fine.." Bulong ko sabay tingin sa kinaroroonan ng mga lalaki, and how I wish I didn't look that way because our eyes met suddenly...
And just like that, my heart almost stop beating.
