" ATE, SI EUGINE, MY BOYFRIEND." She introduced the man beside him at the dining table.

The man smiled at me, "Nice to meet you po, ate."

Napataas ang kilay ko as I saw Allison nudged the man.

" Bakit?" Angal nito.

"Umayos ka."

Nagbubulungan silang dalawa.I ignored them and started to eat my dinner and I noticed they did the same.

I scanned the man's faced. He's a bit familiar to me. I stopped scanning him when our gaze met.

Siya ang unang nag-iwas ng tingin at tinuon ang tingin sa kanyang pagkain.

" What's the man's business, Allison?" I asked while wiping up my lips using the provided tissue beside my plate.

" Ah he's a restaurant owner, ate."

I simply nodded. " How old are you?" I asked the man.

He stopped eating. "Huh?" medyo lutang niya pang sabi.

" Didn't you hear me?" I asked with sarcasm.

I saw Allison nudged her again and murmured something to him.

Alanganing ngumiti ang lalake sa 'kin. "Ah 25 na po ako, ate" Sabi niya habang napakamot sa batok.

Narinig ko naman ang bahagyang paghampas ni Allison sa mesa kaya't dumako ang atensiyon ko sa kanya.

"Ah alam kong nagtataka ka kung bakit pinapakilala ko siya sa 'yo kasi ito ang first time kong may ipakilalang lalake. The truth is..." She diverted his gaze to the man who's busy eating her meal.

"Magpapakasal na kami."

Bigla na lang nabulunan ang katabi niya. Umuubo siya habang kinukuha ang baso na may lamang tubig sa mesa.

" Ayos ka lang ba,Jin?" Allison asked with a worried look while gently caresses his back.

Tumango lang ang lalaki at uminom ulit ng tubig.

" Kakagraduate mo lang, Allison..." I gave her a warning looked, "Tas magpapakasal kana?"

Allison challengely looked at me. "Oo, malaki na ako. Kaya ko na ang sarili ko. "

Humigpit ang hawak ko sa tinidor. "Are you kidding me? You just turned 23."

Tumaas ang kilay niya. "So as you! But you act like older than me? Who are you kidding?!"

I pursed my lips together to calm myself. " I am older than you in months, so respect me as your older sister." I said.

Narinig ko ang pagtunog ng mesa.
I saw the man behind her flinched at Allison's action.

She snorted. " I will only do that if you stop meddling my business. " She said before she disappeared at the dining room.

Naiwan kaming dalawa ng boyfriend niya. He seems stunned to what he had  witnessed.

Tumikhim siya. " Ah excuse me, ate. Sundan ko lang si Alli. "

I ignored him and just continued eating.

Narinig ko ang pagsara ng pintuan. Ako na lang ang natira sa loob ng dining room.

I sighed and finished my meal. Nang matapos akong kumain ay nagtaka ako nang biglang bumukas ang pintuan.
