Never Over You - Santillan Series I

Chapter 27; History [5]

My day went well. After our early lunch, hinatid na niya ako sa next class ko kahit mamayang alas singko pa.

 And I am now lying here in my bed, staring at my ceiling like it could give me answers to my tons of questions.

" Hoy cous! Ano ka ba! Stop overthinking! Just enjoy it okay? " pukaw sakin ni Jana sa kabilang linya. I called her to share what's happening between me and Alexander. And her reaction? Nagtitili lang naman. Ang hyper talaga ng pinsang kung toh. Ang dami lang kasing bumabagabag sakin. Am I overthinking? Maybe yes. But I can't help it! Damn!

" Pano pag malaman ni mama? Pano kung magalit siya? Pano kung mag hired na talaga ng personal bodyguard ko? Pano kung mala--- "

" Hindi malalaman ni tita at Abuela toh. Trust me cous. " she cut me from my sentence.

" Natatakot lang ako cous. Alam mo naman ang kayang gawin nila diba? " I worriedly said. Cause I knew what they can do if someone doesn't follow the rules they made.

" Oh God cous! I said stop overthinking! Please lang! Sumasakit ulo ko sayo! " Jana said in desperation.

" Okay, okay. I'll stop thinking of negative na. Sorry cous. "

" Sorry din cous. I understand what you're feeling. It's normal. Just don't stress it too much, okay? So, nagkiss na kayo?

" The hell cous! " eksaheradang sabi ko. She just laughed at me! My God! I can't imagine us kissing! Nag-iinit yung pisngi ko! Di ko kaya!

" Damn you cous! "

" I was just asking! So nagkiss na kayo? " intriga niyang tanong ulit.

" We didn't of course! So stop bringing it up! "

" Darating din kayo dyan. Wait lang. " she teased again and I was about to snap at her but she ended the call. I really can't imagine it! Oh damn it! The thought she puts in my mind!

As the morning came, sobrang kabado na ako. Mom knows that sembreak starts now. How can I sneak out when she's around? She never allows me kahit pa magpaalam ako sa kanya. I tried before, it was our high school reunion and it will be held on an island. And sadly, she didn't let me. I tried and tried but she never let me, kahit pa pinsan ko yung mga kasama ko. Ayaw niya parin. Kaya natuto akong tumakas, dahil narin kay Jana at kung gusto naming mag-unwind. Nakaligo na ako, I was wearing a blue v-neck shirt match with legging and I just wore a flat peach strap sandals. Komportable naman ako sa suot ko, ayaw ko namang magdress kasi hindi ako mahilig magsuot nun and I was heading in the dining area to eat breakfast. And I stop when I saw nothing on the table. Usually kasi, nakaupo na si mama at kumakain na at kung minsan, dumadalaw si papa at sabay-sabay kaming kumakain ng agahan. But like the other story, my family is not perfect as people see. Hiwalay na sila. I don't want to dig deep, ayaw kung masira ang araw ko.

When manang Belen appeared holding two plates in her both hands, which was hotdogs and slices of bacon. I made my way to the table, deciding to eat.

" Asan po si mama manang? Tulog pa ba? " tanong ko habang kumukuha ng tinapay at itlog then I start eating quitely.

" Nako ma'am! Pinapasabi mo niya na may business trip siya sa Singapore. Mga isang linggo din siya don. Hindi ka na niya nasabihan ng personal dahil nagmamadali siya kanina. " mahabang paliwanag niya. One week siyang wala? Seryuso? Gaaaaaah!!!! Freedom is real!! Sobrang laki na ng ngiti ko at napansin yun ni manang.

" At pinapasabi niya na bawal kang maglakwatsa ng hindi ka nagpapaalam sa kanya. "

" Manang naman eh! Kailan ba ako pinayagan ni mama? At tsaka manang, pagbigyan muna ako please? Please? Ngayon lang toh. Susulitin ko na! Please manang! Wag mong sasabihin sa kanya. " lambing ko sabay yakap sa kanya. Si manang Belen na ang nag-alaga sakin simula pagkabata. Siya yung nakakaintindi sakin, siya yung takbuhan ko pag pinapagalitan ako ni mama noon. Para ko na siyang pangalawang nanay.
