Sheena's POV




"Anong igib tubig, sibak kahoy, at magbigay ng kalabaw? That was the traditional courting, Sheena. Wala na tayo sa panahon ng great grandfathers natin." Gwen said while laughing. 




I was just staring at her, unable to process what she said. Traditional? Hindi ba harana lang 'yon? So, my friends were just playing with me the whole time? Nasabi ko pa kay Gwen 'yong mga 'yon tapos joke time lang pala nila Maloi 'yon? Nagmukha lang akong tanga. 




I looked down. Will she consider it a turn off because I don't know shit about courting? I am willing to learn naman eh, pero siguro kay Mikha nalang ako magpapaturo. Wala akong makukuhang matinong sagot doon sa dalawa. 




"Are you okay?" she asked worriedly. 




I shook my head. "Gwen, sorry ha? I really don't know the concept of courting. I'll understand if you won't allow me." I whispered. 




"You're cute." she whispered but I didn't hear it. She faked a cough before continuing, this time, much clearer  than her first statement. "I don't really mind. I want to see kung paano ka manligaw." 




And because of that conversation last night, I went home happily and slept peacefully. Now, I finally have a reason to enjoy my life and seize every moment of it. 




"Tangina niyo!" I shouted at Colet and Maloi and slapped the back of their heads. 




Mikha was reading a book, not minding our little banters and loud teasings. Siguro ay pagod na pagod na siya sa amin at wala na rin siyang energy para pumagitna kaya hinayaan niya nalang kami. 




"Ang sakit non, Shee! What did we do?" Maloi protested while caressing her head gently. 




"I asked you about the concept of courting, diba? Bakit niyo naman nilaro mga sagot niyo? Napahiya pa ako kay Gweneth." I closed my eyes to calm my system down, baka bigla ko silang suntukin dahil sa mga kagaguhan nila. 




"Oh, you asked about the concept of courting. We answered you the traditional ones, kasalanan mo na kung bakit hindi specific 'yong tanong mo." Colet explained while smirking at me, alam niya kasing natauhan ako doon at narealize kong tama naman 'yong point niya.
