LLUVIA'S POV
"KAILAN PA?!" Granny blurted out while Seiko cluelessly watch us.
"About an hour ago? Two hours ago, like that? Basta kanina." sagot ko naman.
"What?!" bulalas ulit ni Granny.
"Yes." sagot ko naman.
Mukha namang kumalma si Granny, inalis ang tingin sa amin saka kinuha ulit ang sandok.
"So, Perseus..." sabi pa nya.
"Yes, Granny?" Perseus politely asks.
"Kailan mo balak pakasalan ang apo ko?—"
"Ouch!" Shit. Nataga na nga.
Perseus immediately held my hand and lead it in the sink under the running water.
"I just said careful'" pag-uulit nya saka focus na focus sa daliri ko.
"Granny kasi! Kung ano-ano tinatanong!" sigaw ko naman.
Granny just chuckles as she continues to cook, being unbothered of what happened to me.
"My bad." Granny said with sarcasm and loudly laughing.
Kitang-kita ko naman ang pagngiti ni Perseus habang busy pa rin sa paggagamot ng daliri ko.
"Bandaid, Ate Lluvi." Seiko said then hands me bandaid.
"Thanks." I simply said to her.
Hinablot naman ito ni Perseus saka sya na mismo ang naglagay nito bilang pantapal sa taga ko.
After he successfully put the bandaid on. He kisses it then smile.
"'Yan, mas mabilis na 'yang gagaling." he commented with his childish smile.
I suddenly heard Seiko giggles while covering her mouth.
"You two looks cute" sabi naman nya saka umaktong para sya pa ang kinikilig sa ginawa ni Perseus.
Mga bata nga naman.
"You're cuter." sabi naman ni Perseus nang hindi pa binibitawan ang kamay ko then playfully pats Seiko's head.
Tumatawa naman syang tumakbo palabas ng kitchen.
"Ok. I'll go back chopping things." sabi ko naman kay Perseus.
But before he could even let go of my hand, he lends it with one more kiss.
"Is that necessary?" tanong ko naman.
"Yup! More charm to heal it faster." Perseus exclaimed then winks at me saka binitawan na ako at nagderetso na din palabas ng kusina.
Napatawa na lang ako sa naging asal nya. This surely will heal faster.
Bumalik na ako sa ginagawa ko. It takes more minute and we are finally close finishing it.
"You can also go to the living room if you want. Ako na ang bahala sa paghahain nito." nakangiti namang sambit sa akin ni Granny.
"Thanks, Granny." I said.
Lumabas na akong kusina saka nga nagderetsong salas. Natagpuan ko naman si Perseus at si Seiko na nanonood ng cartoons sa TV.
Napatigil ako sa paglapit ng biglang nagsalita si Seiko and unintentionally, I overheard their conversation.
"What do you love about Ate Lluvi?" panimula ni Seiko.
"What do I love 'bout her?" pag-uulit ni Perseus saka mukhang napaisip ng ayos. Ngumiti ito saka sumagot, "What I love about her is her."
Napakunot naman ang noo ni Seiko na animo'y hindi naintindihan ang sinagot ni Perseus.
Perseus laughs at her reaction then pats her head.
"Lagi ka ba nyang inaaway?" nakangiting tanong naman ni Perseus.
"Uhm." Seiko answered as she nods while looking straight at Perseus.
"Sa susunod na awayin ka, tawagin mo lang ako." payo naman ni Perseus.
Hindi ko na kayang magpigil ng sasabihin kaya sumingit na ako.
"Right. Para sabay ko na kayong aawayin." I casually said then rolled my eyes as I sat beside Perseus on the couch.
They both look surprise as I speak. Seiko hides in Perseus back habang si Perseus naman ay tatawa-tawa.
"Your Ate Lluvi is just joking. Balik ka na sa upuan mo." sabi naman ni Perseus.
Sumunod naman si Seiko saka umupo sa sarili nyang upuan at bumalik sa panonood kaya naman kami na lang dalawa ni Perseus ang natira sa couch.
Inakbayan naman ako ni Perseus at tahimik na nanonood nang bigla na lang laruin nya ang buhok kong nakatali.
He is twirling its end around his finger while his eyes is still on the tv.
"My Andromeda.." he mumbles as he turn around his face to look at me.
Nilingon ko din naman sya saka tinanong, "What?"
"You look extra beautiful when your hair is tied up." he said with his casual yet charming smile.
"W-whatever." sabi ko at iniwas ang tingin.
Napatawa naman ulit sya sa reaction ko saka sinabing, "You should stop hiding your face when you're blushing."
Magsasalita sana ako nang bigla namang magtawag si Granny mula sa kusina.
"Kain na!"
"Seiko, kakain na. Turn off the TV." sabi ko kay Seiko na hindi napakinig ang sigaw ni Granny dahil sa focus ng panonood.
Napatingin naman sya saka sinunod ang sinabi ko at sumunod na sa amin papuntang kusina.
Kaunting usapan lang ang namutawi sa lamesa habang kumakain kami.
"Akala ko talaga Granny tutulan mo kami kanina." Perseus said referring to the talk that we have earlier when I was chopping. Nung sinabi naming kami na tapos biglang binagsak ni Granny yung sandok nya.
Granny laughs before answering
"Hindi. Shookt lang si Granny." sagot nya saka tumawa.
Muntik pa akong masamid sa narinig.
"ShOokT?!" paguulit ko sa sinabi ni Granny.
"'Di ba yun ang millenial version ng shocked. Ayun shookt ako." sabi naman ni Granny saka ulit tumawa.
Woah. Where did even Granny learn that from? Damn, internet.
