donny's pov

"MAMSHIE!!!!" i shouted as i opened the door. "we're home!!!"

"mabuti naman, dons" she smirked bago siya lumapit sa amin para magkiss. i hugged her as tight as i can when she approached me. "mom."

"ay grabe ka naman, miss mo ko masyado ha?" kumalas siya saka ako tiningnan. nakatingin sa akin lahat ng kapatid ko. hoy grabe. bakit ang talas ng tingin nila ha?

"mom! kuya has—" solana interrupted. tinakpan ni hannah yung bibig ni solana and smiled. "baby, let kuya tell his ano hehe" bulong ni hannah kay solana. tumango naman si solana saka nagzip ng bibig.

"ano yun?"

"actually, wait lang ha. y'all making me tense. haha!" huminga ko nang malalim bago nagsalita ulit. "mom, we have a visitor!!"

pumasok siya pagkasabi ko ng cue ko. oh diba, organized. "u-uhh, h-hi tita." mabilis siyang lumakad para bumeso kay mom. naghi naman pabalik si mader.

"let me guess." humawak si mommy sa baba niya at kunyaring nag-iisip. "you two are dating?"

napakamot ng ulo si skye habang ako masayang tumango. "YOOOOS!" benj shouted. "skye! hehe should i call you my daughter-in-law na?"

"mom!" sita ko. pano ba naman, yung itsura ni skye, di maipinta. di ko alam kung matatawa ako o macoconcious eh. "why? dun din naman kayo magtatapos. hahaha." dad entered.

"nice choice skye! haha!" umakbay sa akin si dad saka pabirong kumindat kay skye. yung katulad kay john lloyd ba, yung ingat! HAHAHAHA.

"daddy!!" solana ran papunta kay daddy. he carried solana & went to her room para patulugin na since calltime na ni solans. sumunod naman din si mommy sa kanilang dalawa.

"you're dating?" a voice said from the staircase. obviously, it's ate ella. "uhuh!" i held skye's hand and showed it to her.

if i'm not mistaken, she whispered 'tss' and rolled her eyes, not at me, but at skye.

is there something wrong between the two of them?

"hehe sorry skye. lamo naman yun." i apologized & hugged her. "i miss you."

"che, andito lang ako eh. pero eh, i miss you too." she tiptoed & whispered. she hung her arms onto my shoulders.

"um excuse me, we're still here!"

napabitaw si skye pero hinila ko pa rin yun agad. "don't care, as long as i'm with skye, the camera just focuses on a single subject. and i'm that camera." i said habang nakatingin pa rin kay skye.

-

"thanks donny." sabi niya habang naglalakad kami papunta sa bahay niya. "you're welcome. though i don't even know why you thanked me. haha."

napatigil nalang kami at narealize kong nasa tapat na kami ng bahay nila. "napapadalas ata lakad niyo ha? ingat minsan, nako." hayup naman 'to si cloud, bigla biglang nagsasalita.

"gegu kung magsasalita ka, wag kang manggugulat!" sabi ko sakanya at nakipagbro hug.

"hahaha, sorry! dapat kasi ganyan! di niyo naman alam kung kelan kayo magugulat eh kaya ingat! ingat din sa feelings nako!" he joked & laughed, same as skye. pero ako di ako natuwa. para bang may laman yung sinasabi niya? i faked a laugh.

"haha, oo nga."
