The Magnetic: Loving The Insensitive

Chapter 14

Chapter 14:  Constant reminder

"Hon, anong pagkain natin for dinner?" Malambing na tanong ni Tamara sa asawa niya. We've just finished cooking menudo. Actually, Shin did the whole thing. I just assisted him.

"Yung niluto ni manang."

Napalabi si Tam. "Ayoko, hon. Di masarap. Ipagluto mo ko."

He sighed. "Fine."

Nangalumbaba ako habang pinapanood sila. "They are so cute." I murmured. Dixie looked at me. "How I wish Zeck and I were like that." I can't help but envy them.

Dixie pats my shoulder. "Missy..."

I glanced at her and forced a smile. "Don't mind me. Naiinggit lang ako sa kanila. Minsan nagsusuplado si Shin kay Tam. Parang hindi niya talaga mahal, diba? But now I have finally realized that he was sweet in his own way."

"I know." She said in a small voice.

I smiled bitterly when I saw Shin wipe Tam's sweat off her forehead. Kahit na pinagsasabihan niya si Tam ay kitang kita kung gaano talaga siya kaingat kay Tam. Nakakainggit silang panoorin.

"Ma'am, amoy pa lang masarap na."

Ngumiti ako. "Really?"

"Opo, ma'am! Siguradong magugustuhan ni sir Zeck!"

Tinawagan ko na si Zeck para alamin kung anong oras siya makakauwi pero hindi niya sinasagot. I looked at the time. It's only 7 in the evening. He's probably on his way home. I'll just wait for him.

I waited for more than three hours but he didn't come.

"Ana."

"Ma'am?"

"Pakiligpit na lang to."

"Hindi po ba kayo kakain, ma'am?"

I shook my head. "No."

"Pero ma'am, baka-"

"Sige na, Ana." I said, giving her a small smile.

Kanina pa kami nagtatawanan habang nag-iinuman nina Tamara at Dixie. Kahit wala naman talagang nakakatawa ay tawa pa rin kami ng tawa.

"On our wedding day, Zeck left me to be with his ex! I know because I read his message to that bitch!" I said laughing so hard.

"Jeck asked me what if daw if he met someone who was ready to give him what he wanted? Ayun. He probably found what he was looking for in that slut!"

Nagtawanan na naman kami at ipinagpatuloy ang pag-iinuman. I know we probably look stupid right now. But I don't care.

"What in the world is happening here?" Gulat na tanong ni DJ.  Vash and Shin are standing behind him. Nagtinginan kaming tatlo at muling nagtawanan. "For the love of God..."

Shin sighed and shook his head. "Help me with them later."

"Vash!" We saw him came out of his house with Callem. We've been looking for him since this morning pa. Nakangiting humarap siya sa min.

"Hey cool girls!"

"Cool girls?"

He chuckled. "Yeah. Last night, remember? You girls were awesome!"

Tam screeched and run towards Vash. "Ikaw talaga!" Bigla siyang sumakay sa likod ni Vash! Our jaws dropped. "Get his phone!" Mabilis kaming lumapit ni Dixie.
