Play of Fate [COMPLETED]

Chapter 4

Saturday Night, Napoles' Residence

"Jake, ano na nangyari sa kambal mo? 3 araw nang hindi nagpapakita sa'min 'yun ah." Jerald said. They were at the mini nips hut situated near the pool area, having their Saturday night bonding.

"Ewan ko 'd'un. Ilang araw na din siyang badtrip e."

"Hala, bakit?" Sam asked.

"Ano pa ba? Isang rason lang naman bakit nagkaka ganu'n 'yun e."

"Ay sus. Nag away na naman ba sila ni Inang Reyna?" Jerald asked, pertaining to RJ's girlfriend, Louise.

"Hula ko lang. Init ng ulo e. Walang kinakausap ng matino. Tapos nagpapa hatid pa ng pagkain sa kwarto."

"Pabebe, ampota!" Sam said, sniggering.

"Sus, sinabi mo pa. Sarap batukan minsan. Kahit nga si Val, hindi pinapansin e, parang ewan."

"Val's back?!" Sam asked. Valeen, or Val, is the twin's youngest sister who has been away for a long time as she attended school abroad.

"Yup. Dumating nung Thursday."

"Wow. It has been like what, 10 years din?" Jerald said.

"Boarding school." Jake answered, like it was the most ridiculous thing in the whole world, before downing his shot in one gulp.

"Oh, Tisoy! Late ka ah." Jose said to RJ who just crossed the foyer.

"Oo nga po e. May inasikaso lang." He said before kissing the hands of his Tito Jose and Tito Pia as a sign of respect.

"O siya, labas ka na d'un. Nasa kubo sila, kanina pa nag start." Pia said.

"Sige po, thank you." RJ said before going out the pool area.

His friends were noisily chatting and didn't see him approaching. They were talking about Maine, who was not yet there.

"Si Maine pala, brad?" Jake asked.

"Nasa taas. May tinatapos pa na school work."

"Ang corny talaga n'un. Sabado pa lang naman ah, and wala naman siyang pasok sa Monday." Sam said, shaking his head.

"Para namang hindi niyo kilala 'yun. Hindi 'yun magliliwaliw unless tapos school works niya." Jerald said, looking at the direction of the main house. He then saw RJ walking towards them, making him clapped his hands.

"Eto na pala ang huwarang kaibigan!" He said and gave his friend their signature handshake.

"Late ka na oy, sagot mo pizza ha!" Sam said, giving him a high five.

"Long time, no see, bro." Jake said, smirking.

"Lul." RJ said.

"Anong nangyari, bakit mo kami hindi sinisipot?" Sam asked.

"Miss mo ko 'no?"

"Oo, par. Wala akong niroromansa e." Sam said, winking, which made Jerald and Jake laugh out loud while RJ fake gagged.

"Pakyu ka, pinsan mo ko!" RJ said.

"Lakompake." Sam said, chuckling, before shoving a handful of chips in his mouth.

"So, ano nga nangyari?" Je asked.

"Louise." RJ answered then drank the drink his brother passed to him.
