Spark 36

Chapter 36

That Medicine

Ilang sandali pa akong natulala sa reply ni Mommy. Hindi ko alam pero parang may hindi ako maintindihan sa nangyayari. Ayaw ba nila kay Klein? Bakit ganoon ang inasta ni Mommy kanina?

"Hey! Tita has a gift for me tomorrow!" Hara exclaimed in excitement while wiggling her phone at me. "She texted! Humanda ka na dahil ako na ang papalit sa'yo!"

"Mayroon din kami, gaga ka."

"What?! Ugh, ang unfair ni Tita! Bakit mayroon din sa inyo?"

Inis na binatukan siya ni Irah. I was still pre-occupied when Klein suddenly held my arm to get my attention.

"Ayos ka lang ba?"

Hinarap ko siya at tinitigan. For some reason, I cannot see anything offending on his face. Parang hindi niya napansin ang inasta kanina ni Mommy. O ako lang ba ang nakapansin noon? Am I just overthinking?

"Ayos lang. Ikaw? Ayos ka lang ba?"

"Oo."

"Are you not offended with my Mom's question earlier?"

He licked his lower lip and stared at me. "Maayos naman siyang nagtanong. There's nothing offending on it,"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, Shan."

"Hindi ka ba komportable noong tinitigan ka niya kanina?"

"Ayos lang, baka nagwapuhan lang masyado sa akin."

I grimaced annoyingly and pushed him away. He smirked. Parang wala talaga siyang napansin sa inasta ni Mommy kanina. Baka nag-o-overthink lang talaga ako.

"I'm sorry that I told them everything about you. I was really used to that... Sharing my activities to my parents."

Marahan siyang tumango at hinawakan ang kamay ko. "I know that already when we're in the GenSan. You're open to your parents. It's okay."

"Those are my parents by the way." Though, not biologically.

He nodded and smiled. "You grew up in a good and lovable family. I'm happy,"

"Naks. Naka fanboy lang kanina, ang lakas na ng loob, ah?" asar ko.

Nawala agad ngiti niya. Humalakhak ako. Nag-aayos na sila Hara kaya ginawa ko na rin kaso, sinadya na nilang mauna sa top floor para sa celebration kaya kami na lang dalawa ni Klein ang naiwan.

"May 'di ka pa sinasabi sa akin," aniya agad habang naglalakad kami.

Kumunot ang noo ko at binalingan siya. I was struggling on opening my bottled water so he grabbed it from me and squeezed the seal tightly. Nakasimangot niya itong ibinalik sa akin.

"That dance!" he said.

Ngumiwi ako. "It's part of our presentation. Saka ikaw din naman? 'Di mo sinabing pupunta ka?"

"Surprise 'yon! Pero ako ang sinurpresa mo!"

"Then, surprise?" I teased him and he glared at me.

"Are you happy?" he sounded sarcastic. "Titig na titig ka ro'n, Shiana! Gaano kagwapo 'yong kasayaw mo at ganoon mo na lang tingnan?"

I laughed so hard and pushed him away. "It is necessary!"

"You bended so much on his arms! Kulang na lang mabali buto mo! Sige, kapit ka pa ng kapit!"

"What?" Grabe ang tawa ko. "I said it's necessary! Profesional dancer 'yong partner ko at walang malisya 'yon!"

"Baka idate ka no'n kalaunan?"
