Papunta na kami ngayon sa bahay ng taong nagbanta samin. Tahimik lang kaming tatlo sa byahe. Wala dito si ate Shiela at kuya Jerome dahil nasa kabilang kotse sila. Sa pagbanggit pa lang ng pangalan niya ay naalala ko na naman ang nangyari kanina.
Right, that scene. Hindi ko maiwasan na bumuntong hininga ulit. What happened a while ago put a bit of pressure on me. I can't believe that was her 'brilliant' idea.
It was obvious she didn't think thoroughly about her plan pero hindi ako makapaniwala na parang hindi man lang siya nagdalawang isip na gawin ito without calculating what the consequences will be.
"Ate,"
"Hmm?" She hummed while her arms were resting on my nape.
"Are you sure this would work?"
"Of course, no need to worry about it. Wala kang hindi mo alam tungkol sa kanya diba? Afterall, you two are bestfriends." She said smiling. Parang sigurado siya na gagana talaga, not that I doubt her. It's just that we're almost in adult level, baka magtaka at magdalawang isip na paniwalaan nila kami.
I'm not saying that her plan is childish.
"That's not a thing here, ate."
"Shush child, kaya 'to. Kung tatayo tayo do'n ay mag-iisip nalang tayo ng habambuhay kung ano ang magiging plano. Kung anong meron ay go agad tayo."
Bumusangot ang mukha ko. She's right. I don't know what to think right now, I didn't expect this to happened. In this kind of state of mine, I can't think straight. Nap-pressure ako kaya walang may pumapasok na ideya sa isip ko kung paano ako makalayas sa mga mata nila na walang problema.
Now that I need some help, I'll let this problem of mine handle by her for now. Nang makapasok kami sa grocery store ay hinanap namin sila.
"Mabuti nandito ka na," or more like, they found us.
"What kind of brand sa snacks? Random lang ba?" Tanong ni Marvin habang hindi niya mapigilan na tignan ang katabi ko. Sunod na nakakita samin ay si Azra at Shiana na may dalang shopping cart.
"Rosel, nandito na lahat ng nasa listahan,"
"Except sa snacks,"
"That's what I said beh."
"Uhm guys," napakamot ako saking batok.
"Ang tagal mo naman Rosie," lumingon ako at nakita si Kylie na bagong dating. Napunta ang tingin niya sa babaeng naka-akbay sakin.
"Anong meron?" She asked. Dahil nandito naman silang lahat ay sisimulan ko ng gawin ang plano ni ate Shiela.
"I'm sorry guys, I can't make it with you to the party." Sumalubong ang mga kilay nila, marahil nagtataka.
"What? Bakit? Tinutulungan ka naman na namin sa grocery ah?"
"Hello sa inyo! Sadly, hindi makakasama si Rosella. I'm one of her sister's friend by the way."
"Bakit po?"
"Because I'm one of her sister's co-workers, malapit na ang bakasyon and our boss decided that all of his employees needs a fun vacay. Sinabi niya rin na invited ang pamilya namin so Riley decided na sasama itong kapatid niya." Nakangiting paliwanag niya sabay tulak ng katawan ko sa kanya kaya naman lalo kaming dumikit sa isa't isa.
I still can't believe that she knows that I have a sister. Mas magugulat pa ako lalo kapag may alam siya na kahit anong impormasyon tungkol kay ate.
"Ngayon po ba 'yun?"
