"Now explain!" I scoffed. Bakit ako? Dapat si Jehan ang tanungin nya! Ako ba ang nanghalik ha!? Punyeta.

"I have nothing else to explain dad. What you saw explains what happened" I saw his jaw clenched. As if he was not satisfied with my answer.

"What does that suppose to mean!? He's gonna be your brother for Pete's sake!" He retorted.

"I....." hinawakan bigla ni Jehan ang kamay ko kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. Ano na namang arte ang meron tong hayop na to? Sya ang dahilan bakit ako naiipit ngayon eh!

"Tito I can explain, we've been in a relationship before the two of you introduce us with each other" and I was like wtf? Wow! Just wow! I don't remember having a relationship with him! In fact, we were both enemies that time! What an actor!

"Then bakit nung una kayo'ng nagkita di kayo magkasundo? It was in my office back then" sabat naman ni Tita Lexis. Nakagat ko ang labi ko, how are you suppose to explain thay Jehan?

"Of course I have to act like I don't like her being here! Do you really think I will let my girlfriend surrounded by jerks?" My jaw almost hanged open. I was impressed, nahanapan nya pa ng lusot yun? I rolled my eyes, malamang pinaghandaan na nya ito. It was him who planned this in a first place.

"I'm not buying that excuse. Bakit di mo nasabi saakin na may boyfriend ka na? At anak pa talaga ng magiging step-mom mo? " pagbabaling ni dad ng tanong saakin. I look at Jehan, he was eyeing me like he was saying I should answer him quickly. Shit!

"Who the fvck knows he's gonna be my step-brother? I was about to tell you pero pinalipat mo na ako dito! Kaya nilihim na namin ang relasyon namin para walang maging problema sainyo! Because I know you both love each other! That's why we keep it as a secret!" Napatayo na ako kaya pinigilan ako ni Jehan gamit ang paghawak sa kamay ko.

"Calm down Lala" hinawi ko ang buhok ko para takpan ang kabilang bahagi ng mukha ko. Pinanlisikan ko sya ng mata, Lala!? What the hell was that? Is that suppose to be a nickname? Ano dapat tawag ko sa kanya, Jeje? Jejemon ganun?

"Hindi na natin pwede ilihim kung ano ang meron tayo Jeje" nangunot naman ang noo nya nang marinig nya ang tawag ko sa kanya. If we're not on this situation right now, baka humagalpak na ako kakatawa.

Jeje. Jejemon! HAHAHA.

"If you're doing this because of the engage---"

"Yes! That's right! We're doing this because of the engagement! We can stand keeping our relationship into secret! Pero ang makita ang taong mahal mo na magpakasal sa iba, aba ibang usapan na yan!" Singhal ko. Saglit silang natahimik sa sinabi ko. Papanindigan ko na ang pagpapanggap naming to. Tangina, pwede na ako maging artista.

"Mom please, I can't take this. She's engaged with my friend! Do you really think I won't do anything!?" Tumayo si Jehan at hinigit ako papalapit sa kanya. He intertwined his hands into mine and turn his gaze into our parents like he was defending me.

I'm quite amused, so this is the feeling of being defended? Wow, this is a first time for me. Kung di ko lang tinatak sa isip ko na pagpapanggap lang to, iisipin ko'ng boyfriend ko talaga sya. Tsk. Magaling din umakting ang lalaking to.
