Those Eyes

JEMA

"I'll have two tapsilog po and dalawang tubig" sambit niya

the waiter nodded at tsaka.pumunta sa counter

The place is cozy and hindi masyadong mainit

May aircon din kasi

"Here's your tapsilog order po ma'am"The waiter said

Ella smiled at her

"Ay, pwede pong pa picture?" Sambit niya

Tumango naman si ella at tsaka nag smile sa camera

"Thank you po! goodluck din po sa next games niyo" sambit niya bago umalis

"Eat, Jema" sabi ni Ella

She took a spoonful and ate her tapsilog

"Masarap yan, promise"she added

I looked at my plate muna

"Let's make a deal then, if hindi masarap you'll wear my adamson shirt"I said

"and kung masarap, you'll watch my game sa Tuesday and wear my shirt"sambit naman ni Ella

I smiled and said deal

Tinikman ko naman ito with rice

Kinakabahan pa ako

Oh shit

Masarap nga

"Oh,ano?"Ella said, waiting for my comment

"May extra blue shirt ka ba?"I asked

Napa tawa naman siya

"Ihatid ko nalang sa school niyo" sagot niya

Tumango naman ako

I enjoyed eating my tapsilog

TUESDAY, and game day ngayon ni Ella

So, I have to watch her game kasi nga

That's the deal

I fixed myself and nag light make up

Lumabas na ako ng kwarto at tsaka bumaba

"Oh, Jessica where are you going? why are you wearing a blue eagle shirt" sambit ni mom

Natigilan naman ako

I slowly looked at mommy

"M-mommy!a-andito ka p-po pala" nautal na sambit ko

"Where are you going, Jessica? and why are you wearing a blue eagle shirt?" Pag uulit niya

"I-i'll w-watch a g-game po" sagot ko

Her brows furrowed

"Don't worry po mom, Kasama ko po si kuya Rio" Sabi ko

Mom heaved a sigh and nodded

"Have fun anak, Be home before 7 okay?" mom smiled

Tumango naman ako at tsaka umalis ng bahay

"Ang tagal mo bes ha!"sambit ni Kring

I rolled my eyes on her

We sat near the bench

I saw her talking to some girls

Nagpapa picture pa sakanya

"Ang friendly niya sa mga girls no" Sambit ni Kring sa ay siko saken

Pinandidilatan ko naman siya ng mata

"So?" mataray na sabi ko

"Wala lang share ko lang" sagot niya

I rolled my eyes on her at tsaka ibinalik ang tingin sa court

Nag start na yung game and Sobrang intense!

Umabot sila ng 5 sets and buti nalang naipanalo nila

Nakiki chant na din kami ni Kring sa chant ng ateneo

After game, hinila na ako ni Kring pababa

Ella was shocked when she saw me

"Oh, akala ko ba aalis ka na pag na 3rd set"She said

"I wanted to, but Kring was too persistent to finish the game"Sagot ko

She chuckled and looked at my shirt

Kinuha niya kaagad ang phone at pinicturan ako

I'm not even prepared for it!

"Delete it!"sambit ko

"Feeling ah, hindi naman kasama yung mukha" Ella chuckled

Triny kong abutin ang phone niya, pero mas itinaas pa niya ito

"Ells!" Sambit ko nung babae

Napa tingin naman ako sa dalawang babae

They smiled at ella at tsaka lumapit sakanya

"I should get going" Sambit ko

"Ganun ba? sige ingat ka" she said

I just smiled at her and then I quickly turned away

When I get home, I remembered something

I opened my phone and inopen yung Instagram

Me: Uy, congrats mga pala

Me: Sorry, nalate hehe

ella_dejesus:Salamat

Me:I need to return your shirt btw.

ella_dejesus:Sure ka bang isasauli mo?

Me:Oo naman.

Me: Why?

ella_dejesus: Baka hindi mo na yan masauli ha

Me: Ew, yucks. Isaksak mo yan sa baga mo

ella_dejesus: asan? akin na

Me: Get it from me

ella_dejesus: Luh bakit ako?

Me: Ikaw yung may kailangan

ella_dejesus: Edi sayo na. Kunwari ka pa

Me: FINE

Me: I'll go 🙄

Inis kong tinapon ang phone ko sa higaan

Bwiset ka, ella
