We're here at a restaurant already dito sa QC and yup, sa QC na kami kumain, not around in Manila since sabi nila, para na rin daw madali lang nila ako ihatid and madali rin din daw sila makauwi. They also lived in QC din daw kasi, sa may Batasan Hills, na hindi naman kalayuan sa'min.
"Ang tangkad mong babae Eva, are you an athlete? or do you play any sports?" Tita Anna asks me in the middle of our eating.
"Um" I paused as I wiped my mouth with a tissue para naman pormal akong tignan. Baka kasi, all this time, may butil pala akong bigas sa bibig ko while I'm talking to Juan's Mom "..no po. I do part-time modeling"
Tita brightens up her face and tinignan niya ako na may malaking ngisi. "Oh really? That's so nice! What do you model ba? And sa'n ka nagmomodeling?"
"I work for Apartment 8 Clothing po, brand name po siya and anything naman po... what will opportunity knocks, tinatanggap ko po" Ngiti ko kay Tita.
"Oh, ang ganda mo naman talaga kasi hija. You're really fit in the modeling industry" Puri naman ni Tita sakin.
"Oo nga. What magic did Juan made to have a girl like you?" Tito Bert then joked as he joined in at nagtawanan ang mga GDL dito sa table sa sinabi ng Tatay nila. Napatawa na rin ako habang si Juan naman ay nagreact.
"Hey Dad! You're so mean!" Juan exclaimed to Tito Bert with furrowed eyebrows at ngumuso ito. "I'm not that bad naman ah"
"Yeah in basketball, dunno with the looks" Asar naman ng kapatid niya na si Jordi while laughing.
"Shut up. I'm more good looking than you" Juan told him while looking at him as if he's really confident na mas gwapo talaga siya kay Jordi.
Hay nako Juan. Don't worry. Looks don't matter to me naman. Fine, maybe slight lang hehe.
"That's just because you work out. And Wait for me lang talaga. Soon, girls will be drooling over me na. Not just my face but also my body" Salita naman nitong si Jordi that made their Mom scold him.
"Hoy Jordi! Ang bata mo pa! Tumigil ka sa pinagsasabi mo" Saway ni Tita Anna sa kanya as she gave him a stern look.
Jordi immediately apologized pero may halo iyong tawa. "Sorry"
"Sus, you guys shut up. Because I'm the one naman talaga na pinakagwapo dito" Joe then butt in as he shrug off his shoulders like he's really feeling it.
"Ew. Ang yabang! Hindi naman. Ako kaya" Javi was then next and I really can't stop giggling at the scene right now. They're so fun to watch, joking around.
"Tumahimik kayo. Ako pinakapogi dito kasi lahat kayo nagmana sakin" Saway ni Tito Bert sa kanila ending their pangyayabang sa sarili at pang-aasar.
"Pero yun nga Eva, paano ba kayo nagkakilala ng anak ko, si Juan?" Tito Bert then asks as he gazed back at me "...kasi nagtataka talaga ako e" At sinimulan na naman muli ang pang-aasar sa Tatay ni Juan sa kanya.
Wow, I never thought that Juan's Dad could be this so makulit!
"Pa! Ang sama mo!" Juan laughs and everybody laughs.
"We met lang sa campus po. We bumped off each other kasi I was hurrying to buy tickets for their game nung do or die match nila versus Adamson, baka po kasi ako maubusan and yeah, while I was tumatakbo po, nabunggo ko po siya" Kwento sa kanila reminiscing how Juan and I meet each other.
