"Ser Trev?"

Agad bumukas ang mga mata ko sa boses ni Manang. My chest felt so heavy, and I realized, it's because of yesterday. Galit pa rin ako kay Dad. Tutuloy pa rin niya ang plano for my so-called future from his dictionary.

Kinakausap niya si Mr. Hemphrey para sa pagkakaroon namin ng joint business with them, at baka maging business partners pa dahil sa naisip niyang plano na ipakasal ako kay Alyana Hemphrey. I never liked that girl. She's too clingy and materialistic! Nakakairita siyang kasama. Sa amerika siya nag-aral kaya ganun-ganon na lang ang ugali niya towards me. She's too liberated!

Even my friends hated her. Especially Rhianne. And none other than Kylie.

Ikakasal kami when I turn 25 by contract, well, that's his plan. I just hated the idea of that! I can marry anyone he pleases but not that girl for heaven's sake!

"Serr Trevor! May bisita ka sa baba!" sabi muli ni Manang at the other side of the door that made me go back to reality. Dahan-dahan akong tumayo, at kinusot ang dalawang mata gamit ang mga kamay ko. Lumabas ako ng kwarto after that.

Going downstairs, I can hear Manang talking to someone from the living room. I went there and saw the girls.

Rhianne and Kylie.

Nagulat si Rhianne sa akin ng makita ako. Agad siyang napatakip ng mata. I realized I was bare naked, only wearing boxer shorts. Kylie let our a little shriek when she saw me.

"NETA NAMAN TREV!" gulat na sabi pa nito. "Baka magsaing pa niyan ako ng kanin! Magbihis ka nga!" biro pa niya. I glance at Rhianne again, she was blushing so hard and biting her lower lip as she scanned my whole body. I chuckled at that.

"AT TALAGANG NATAWA KA PA HA!" sigaw ni Khyle na lalo ko pang ikinatawa!

"Dios mio! Magkaroon ka naman ng delikadeza Serr Trevor! Magbihis ka nga ng damit para makakain ka na ng hapunan!" sabi nitong si Manang na dumiretso na sa dining room.

"It's already lunch?" I asked them both girls. Kylie nodded for me as answer.

"11 na Trev. May utang ka sakin bruh." she added, emphasizing 'utang' dahil sa kahapon na ginawa niya for me.

Umakyat na nga ako non at nagbihis ng t-shirt and pants. Bumaba muli ako at dumiretso na sa dining room where the girls were already seated. Planado ba lahat 'to? Why are they here?

Tumabi ako kay Rhianne, na hiya pa rin sa akin.

"Why are you two here?"

"Like I said, meron kang utang sakin bruh? Makiki-sleepover ako dito, including Rhianne." sagot agad nitong si Kylie.

"Are you okay with it, Rhianne?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"Oo naman." tumango-tango pa siya. "I had no plans or schedule whatsover."

"Are you sure? I mean baka may kailangan kayo gawin ng Mama mo or you have somethings to do at school."

"Wooow Trev, thanks for the concern!" sabat ni Kylie.

I glared at Kylie who just mouthed me a 'what', raising both arms together in confusion. When lunch was served, we ate very quietly hanggang matapos ang mga pagkaing nasa plate.
