Sparks Fly (ONGOING)

Chapter 12

"Lukas?!"

"Amethyst?"

Sabay pa kaming nagsalita. Halatang-halata na gulat na gulat kami sa pangyayari.

"Oh... you guys know each other?" Lana asked curiously.

"Kuya, she's the girl I was talking to you about! The one who helped me with skating! She's so nice and cool!" She continued.

I didn't know na kinekwento niya ako sa iba. I smiled at her, she's just so precious!

"Congrats baby!" Dinig kong sigaw galing sa likuran namin. It was their parents. Their mom is almost the same height as me, I'm just taller by an inch, maybe. She looks so elegant with her black hair down; she could pass off as their older sister! Their dad... looks exactly like Lukas! He just has much more mature features compared to Lukas.

Looking at them, I noticed that they're all wearing the same thing. They look so cute wearing jeans and the Zagitova sweater with their last name at the back. Lana is still wearing her costume underneath her team jacket.

They were congratulating Lana; she was talking animatedly while her parents were nodding along with a smile on their face. I don't even think they noticed me, aalis na sana ako kaso hinawakan ako ni Lukas sa braso. I didn't notice that he was near me!

"Stay," bulong niya malapit sa tenga ko. Goosebumps rose on my skin; I felt the heat when he whispered, making me warm all over.

Sasabihan ko palang sana na 'wag na kaso bilang nagsalita si Lana. "Mommy! Daddy! You should meet ate Di!" Nagulat pa 'ko dun! Mukhang nagulat din sila kasi 'di nila ako napansin.

"Sorry, dear! We didn't notice you there... I'm Lana's mom, you can call me tita Ynna." Pakilala niya sa'kin, I was expecting for a handshake but imagine my surprise when she pulled me in a hug.

"I'm tito Ian naman." Sabi naman ng dad nila habang nakangiti, he just gave me a fist bump.

Medyo bumaba ang kaba na naramdaman ko ng maggreet sila sa'kin. Ang bait naman nila!

"Hi po, I'm Dianna Vicencio." I said politely, smiling.

Both of their eyebrows rose, parang may naisip. "So you're the Dianna both of my kids are talking about..."

"Mom!"

"Yes, mommy! Kuya knows her pala!"

Sabay na sagot ng magkapatid. Huh... so 'di lang pala si Lana ang nagkekwento tungkol sa'kin. Ngumisi ako ng patago, I'm keeping this information for when we're alone.

"Why don't you join us for dinner?" Tanong ni tita Ynna.

"Hala... 'wag na po! I don't want to intrude po." Tanggi ko pa, nakakahiya naman kasi.

"It's fine! We want to get to know the amazing Dianna we've been hearing about. You can count this as a thank you gift for helping Lana." Pagpilit niya pa. Tito Ian just agreed while Lana looked so excited with the thought of me joining them. Lukas was just staring at me, mukhang hinihintay sagot ko. In the end I agreed.

Uuwi lang naman ako after, uuwi sa bahay na walang tao. Okay na rin pala na sumama ako, siguro mapapagod ako at diretso tulog nalang ako pagkauwi. 'Di ko mapapansin kung gaano katahimik 'yong bahay.

Hindi sumabay si Lukas kila tita since nanggaling siya sa school. I'll ride with him so he won't be alone. Nasa loob na kami ng black Jimny niya nang maalala ko ang nangyari kanina sa venue.

Lukas now knows my sport is figure skating. Alam niya ng ako ang tinutukoy ni Lana na ate Di.

Ngayon ko lang napansin na ang tahimik namin, I glanced at him and I can't see any emotion on his face. I don't know what to think! Hindi naman siguro siya titigil makipagkaibigan sa'kin since alam niya na sport ko, right? I mean, same kami ng sport ng kapatid niya, not to mention we used to have the same skate school!
