 A/N

Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her consists of five stories or vignettes, tied together loosely to envision the complexity of incomplete communications about life, family, and love. We glimpse the lives of five women, each facing problems such as loneliness, dissatisfaction, longing, and or desire. Rodrigo Garcia, in his first-time directing, assembled this film with a loaded cast of actresses who can tell you everything you need to know just by their body language and facial expressions. Their individual stories show us what "things you can tell just by looking at her".

Alex's POV

Napahigpit ang hawak ko sa braso ni Gin when we arrived at his friend's house.  It's a two storey bungalow type sa isang kilalag subdivision sa Ortigas.  Agad na sinalubong kami ng Lian ang pangalan.

I want to go home and get dressed properly now that I am seeing her dressed in an above the knee crew neck chiffon, and it complemented her figure.  Samantalang ako naka simpleng casual loose long batwing top knit dress mini skirt lamang.  

She smiled at us.  "Hi there.  I am glad na nakarating kayo," anito sa pinasayang tinig.  

I tried to smile while Gin looked at her admiringly.  "You look lovely Lian.  Oh, I want to introduce to you my---."

"W-We've already met," ani Lian as she looked at me sa naasiwang tinig.  "L-Last night."

 
She extended her hand at wala akong ibang choice kung hindi abutin yun.  I tried to smile.

Kahit pa nga wala itong ginagawa I feel not comfortable with her.

Napatango si Gin na napakamot sa ulo.  "Sorry I was really drunk.  Ni hindi ko namalayan na ikaw pala ang naghatid sa akin kay Bella.  Anyway, where is tita?" 

 "Nasa loob at busy sa paghahanda, alam mo naman yon," natatawang sabi.  Ibinalik na nito ang buong atensyon kay Gin.

He laughs.  "Oo, I remember very well.  I love her adobo!"

Tumawa si Lian.  "And she cooked it for you."

Nagsisimula ng uminit.

Uminit yung ulo ko.

Baka nakakalimutan nila na andito ako!

Napatikhim ako. Nahinto ang pagtawa nila at namula ang babae.  "Oh we are being rude, sorry Alex.  G-Gin and I way go back--."


Agad na inakbayan ako ni Gin and kissed me on the forehead.  "Bella knows that already.  C'mon, let me see tita Mildred," he said na sa akin nakatingin si Gin.  Na para bang sinasabi na huwag akong magselos.  Inirapan ko lamang ito.

Napakurap si Lian and tried to smile.  "Y-Yes, come in.  Nasa dining room siya," anito na nagpatiuna na sa pagpasok sa bahay.

Kinurot ko ito ng pino kaya napaigik.  "Bella!"

Inirapan ko ito uli.  "You behave or you will never kiss me again!"

Nanlaki ang mga mata nito.  Na para bang hinatulan ko siya ng kamatayan niya.

Serves him right!  Hinding hindi talaga ito makakahalik sa akin kapag hindi umayos sa paningin ko!
