The Potential Between Us ✨ [MED SERIES 7] COMPLETED

Chapter 5

After a long talk, nagdecide kaming umuwi ng Bacolod para mameet namin yung pamilya ng isa't-isa. Nagulat pa nga si mommy nung inuwi ko si Chester sa bahay namin sa Bacolod.

"Good afternoon po, ma'am." He said. Nagmano pa sya which made me smile. Marunong pala sa ganito si gago.

"Hello," mom replied. "Are you guys close?"

"He's my boyfriend, mommy."

She was shocked for a second. "Oh, I see. Welcome to the family, anak."

"Thank you po, Tita."

"Hon." Dad shouted. He found us in the dining table already. We were having lunch.

"Hi, daddy." I said then kissed his cheeks, he kissed mine, too.

"Good afternoon, sir." Chester said.

"You won't he here if you're just a friend. Am I right?"

"He's my boyfriend, dad."

"Okay. Just don't hurt her. I will come for your family if you do." Dad reminded.

"Yes, sir. You have my word."

"Just call me Tito."

Chester just nodded. After lunch we just tour around. Then, come dinner, we went to their ancestral house. Saktong nakita ko rin si Clark dun. Best friend din kasi nya si Celine na kapatid naman ni Chester. Small world nga naman.

"Hi, Ate. Ikaw pala yung sinasabi ni kuya na crush nya." Celine said smiling.

"Shut up." Chester said. Kami pa lang yung nasa table.

"Ate if may gusto kang malaman text mo ako. Alam ko lahat ng kagagugan ni kuya," nakangiting sabi nya. "Buti pinatulan mo ang babaero nya."

"Right?" I said smiling. Chester gave me a dagger look.

"So lagi ka ng uuwi dito sa Bacolod, Ate?" Nakangiting tanong ni Clark. Pinagmamasdan ko sila ni Celine. He's playing with Celine's hand, pero wala namang reaction si Celine.

"No, busy with med. Ngayon lang," sagot ko. "Wait, kayo ba?"

"Iww, no way. Mas babaero pa si Clark kay Kuya, Ate. Alam ko lahat mga kagaguhan ni kumag." Sagot ni Celine at doon niya lang hinampas yung kamay ni Clark.

Tapos dumating din yung dalawang pinsan pa nila. Nakangiti sila sa akin. Lalo yung babae.

"Hi, Ate." She said smiling. "Kath pala."

"Hi, Ate. I'm Gino." His younger cousin said. I just smiled to them.

"Gino, may girlfriend ka? May irereto ako." Nakangiting sabi ko. Kanina ko pa sya tinitignan. Parang guy version niya yung pinsan ni Louisse.

"Meron, Ate. Pero girlfriend lang dahil sa politics." Sagot ni Celine.

"Sino ba, Ate? Pag nerd papatulan yan agad ni kuya Gino." Natatawang sabi ni Kath. Ngumiti lang ako nung inirapan sya ni Gino.

"Gab Dela Cruz. Nerd din ata. She's really pretty and kind. Text me if magbago isip mo." I said to Gino. He just smiled.

"Wala syang soc-med?" Tanong ni Kath.

"Baka nakadeactivate. She rarely opens ata. Kasama din kasi nya lagi yung mga barkada nya." Sagot ko.

"Ay baka may boyfriend naman yan." Singit ni Celine. That's when I realized, baka nga si Paulo yung boyfriend ni Gab, sobrang close din kasi nila. Sabi naman ni Dominique dati parang hindi, pero sobra sa closeness din 'pag nasa LA kami e.
