Chapter 6

Jao

Ramdam ko parin ang pagtama ng tuhod ni Yvan sa dalawang bola ko. Kung mababaog ako at hindi makapalaganap ng lahi ay siya ang sisisihin ko at sisiguraduhin kong pati siya ay hindi makakaparami ng lahi. Tss.

"Your girlfriend is a...beauty and strange."

Right. We're now having lunch with his stepmother. Nahihirapan akong umaktong babae sa harapan niya ngunit pinipilit ko ang aking sarili.

"I know she is," ani Yvan na tahimik na kumakain sa tabi ko. I deadpan looked at him but made sure that his mother won't notice.

"So Tyra, what do you do for a living?," she asked me with a fake smile. To be honest, his mother has an aura of a bitch. A fake person—plastic. In short, I hate her and I guess Yvan too. Oo na, mahilig akong mag-judge ng tao ngunit kadalasan naman sa ginaganon ko ay totoo. I'm a psychiatrist after all.

I cleared my throat in a feminin way. If Kyle is here he'll probably laugh at me.

"I'm a psychiatrist," inipit ko pa ang boses ko para maging tunog babae. Hindi nakatakas sa'kin ang pagtaas ng kilay ng mama ni Yvan. Tinaasan ko rin ito ng kilay at pekeng ngumiti. Sinadya ko talaga na mapansin niya ang peke sa ngiti ko para malaman niya na ayaw ko sa kanya. Yvan on the other side is not talking. We're close to each other so I'm afraid that he's uncomfortable. He's maybe relaxing himself because his mother is with us. Hindi ko parin alam kung bakit 'to nagaganap ngayon.

"Yvan," ipinilig niya ang kanyang ulo kay Yvan. I noticed how her voice changed and became soft. "How are you, sweetie?," malambing niyang tanong.

My eyebrows furrowed and I looked at Yvan who's now glaring at his mother, looking annoyed.

"Stop it Faith."

Bahagya akong nagulat sa malamig na boses ni Yvan at pagtawag niya sa kanyang stepmom sa pangalan nito. He's addressing his stepmother in first name?

"I'm just worried as your mother," mahinang sambit ni Faith.

"As my mother who's flirting with me after my father died so she can get all the richness my father had."

My eyes widened at what he said. Tangina? Tama ba ang narinig ko? Gusto siya ng stepmother niya?! What a big family scandal they have here!

"Yvan—

"We're done. Aalis na kami ng girlfriend ko," walang pasabing tumayo si Yvan at hinila ako. Nagulat pa ako sa paghila niya sa'kin kaya't muntikan na akong matapilok ngunit mabuti nalang at naging mabilis ako para hindi madapa.

Diretso lang ang lakad niya habang hila-hila ako. He immediately went to his car and signed Tiffany that we'll go home. Hanggang sa kotse ay hawak niya parin ang kamay ko na hindi niya yata napapansin. Hindi ko ito binawi ang tumingin lang sa kanya na napakasama ng tingin sa kawalan. Base on his face right now, he's mad. At this moment, I got to see a new side of him. Talagang galit ito kaya't hindi niya man lang napansin na nakahawak parin siya sa kamay ko.

"Hey," I squeezed his hand. Nakuha ko ang atensyon niya at agad niyang napansin ang magkahawak naming kamay kaya't mabilis niya itong binitawan at lumayo bahagya sa'kin. "Buti tapos na. Ang init na ng suot ko," I said while looking in front after I leaned my back on the chair.

"I'm sorry for dragging you into this mess. Babayaran kita," he said. I glanced at him and chuckled.

"Ano ako call-girl? Bayaran mo ang pagsipa mo sa itlog ko hindi ito," sabi ko sa kanya. I heard Tiffany choked while driving and when I noticed how Yvan stilled napangisi ako. Napansin ko rin ang pamumula ng tenga niya. I found his reaction amusing and cute.
