The Unexpected Guy

Chapter 10 - Her First..

Sabado ngayon at napagdesisyunan naming hwag muna pumasok. I am looking at my sister who is currently giggling like a teenager while holding her phone. Days after what happened sa restaurant, I barely see her cry like other brokenhearted girls. Most of the time, she's smiling like an idiot, sabi nga ni kuya. Pero ang hindi ko maintindihan eh, kung ano ba ang meron sa phone nya at tawa sya ng tawa.

"Ate Peach!" Sigaw ko sa kanya. Lumingon naman sya sakin and gave me a questioning look. "Why are you laughing like a weirdo, huh? Naka-drugs ka ba?"

Her eyes widened, at binato sakin ang isa nyang unan. "Baliw! I'm reading something oh." Sabay pakita ng phone nya. I stared at her phone for quite some time and I saw the website of 9GAG. "Ah kaya naman pala."

"I'm not crazy no. And, what's the point of crying myself into bed tsaka yung mga pinaggagagawa ng mga brokenhearteds, di ba? Life is to short to cry over a dumb*ss jerk little sister." Mahabang litanya ni ate. "So, anong plano mo? It's Thursday, and I am bored to death."

Pano ba naman kasi, pinag-leave nya ko today para magbonding daw kami. Eh nakatunganga lang naman ako. Well, nagbonding kami kanina. We baked cookies and cooked our own food for lunch. "Let's go to the mall."

"Mall? Okay!" Tumayo na ko mula sa pagkakasalampak sa sahig. "Let's go shopping, then mani-pedi!" Sabi ko kay ate.

"Okay, magbihis ka na, magbibihis na din ako."

"Mace, red or black?" Tanong sakin ni ate. We're here in a salon, mani-pedi time. "Red. Looks classy and sophisticated at the same time." Nakangiti kong sabi.

"Hm, right. Ikaw, what color?" Tanong nya sakin. "Magpapanail-art na lang ako ate. Para mas cute." Sagot ko sa kanya.

"Wow. Oh wait, after this magpapagupit ako. Okay lang ba?" Nilingon ko naman sya. "Ate, it's fine ano ka ba." Nginitian naman nya ko.

To be honest, if you'll see her, she's blooming than ever. No signs of tears or whatsoever. And kung ano man ang ginagawa nya para mas mapabilis ang pagmomove-on, pagpatuloy nya lang.

"Bagay sayo yang buhok mo. Mas nag-glow ka. And you look like a female version of kuya talaga!" Natatawa kong sabi kay ate. "Macey, malamang kambal di ba?"

"Sabi ko nga." Natawa na lang ako. I was about to pay when ate stopped me. "My treat." Tumango na lang ako sa kanya.

"So where do you wanna? I'm craving for some McDo or Jollibee foods." Sabi ni ate sakin habang naglalakad. Inikot ko naman ang tingin ko para maghanap ng Jollibee or McDo. "There it is! McDo!"

Naglakad naman kami papasok don when suddenly she stopped. "Ate, what's wrong?" Nakita kong napako ang tingin nya sa loob ng Mcdo. Tinignan ko na din. Oh great, Gerald and another girl. Hay. "Let's eat somewhere else?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"No Mace. Mom said, in order to fully move-on, face it and just accept it's over." Nakangiti nyang sabi sakin. Sabay na kami pumasok sa loob.

She ordered everything and I decided to look for some available seats. Kung sineswerte ka nga naman, a table next to Gerald's. Pero sabi ni ate, face and accept it. So pumwesto ako don and waited for ate.

"One french fries, one nuggets, one cheeseburger and one large sprite for Macey." Sabi ni ate sakin pagkadating nya sa table namin. Inabot nya rin sakin ang mga pagkain ko. "Ate, this is too much." Sabi ko, eh busog pa naman ako eh.
