Perseus'
"What's going on here?!" pasigaw nyang tanong pagkatapos ng ilang sandaling pagkatigil.
I stand up from my seat, "Mom. I invited them over. Ayos lang naman siguro 'yon di'ba?"
"P-perseus" sita ni Andromeda but I just smile at her to assure her that its okay and I got this.
Gaya ng inaasahan ay nagkasalubong ang kilay ni Mom. She clearly said before that no distractions allowed until I finish all this documents and based on what I just said I literally broke that rule. Lalong hindi ko naman pwede sabihin na si Andromeda ang nagyaya sa kanila dahil paniguradong madadagdag lang iyon sa pagkontra nya sa aming dalawa.
Mom sighed after a moment and slightly massage her forehead as if she's trying to process all of these.
You see, the living room is a whole mess right now after those snacks and everything. Nagkalat ang gamit na dala nila lalo na 'yung board game na kaninang nilaro din namin na hanggang ngayon ay wala pa ring nagliligpit.
"I see... overnight?" Mom asked which made me relief.
"Opo sana." Leica answered.
Mom turns around then stops her sight to Andromeda, "Lahat kayo?"
"Yup!" I answered then pulled Andromeda closer to me.
"Nandito lang din naman kayo... Well, enjoy your stay." Mom said then smiles as she walks upstairs but immediately stop when she reached the third step.
"Good thing I invited another guest." sabi nya saka ngumisi sa amin-- particularly to Andromeda at saktong may kumatok naman sa pinto. Bumukas ito at bumungad sa amin si...
"Jane! Tamang-tama ang pagkakainvite ko sa'yo for tonight!" Mom said.
"Jane?!" sabay-sabay na sambit ng grupo.
It's a necessary reaction for them since they haven't met Jane in person. Nakukwento lang siguro ni Andromeda pero ngangayon lang talaga nila sya nakita. On the other hand, I notice how Andromeda's fist clenched as she stares at Jane so I held her hand to calm her.
"Oh. Well. I hope y'all will get along together." huling sambit ni Mom bago tinuloy ang pag-akyat sa pagtaas.
An awkward silence invaded the room, Jane is still standing in front of the door when suddenly Leica approach her and observe her as she walks around Jane.
"So you're the 'so-called-fiance' huh?" Leica asked with some attitude.
"Leica's a bitch." mahinang sabi ni Andromeda.
Jane smiles like she accepted the challenge that Leica was trying to give, "Yes, I am. So tell me, how bad I am in your friend's story? Your friend who's the 'so-called-girlfriend'?"
"Little did she know that Jane's a bitch too." mahina ulit na dugsong ni Andromeda sa sinabi nya kanina.
"Nako! Pangitang-pangita na kung sino ang pinakamagkakasundo!" gatong naman ni Calix.
Pumagitna naman si Abby sa dalawang parang naghahamunan na sa tingin at hinila na palayo si Leica kay Jane.
"Maybe y'all are just iritated by me so Imma go upstair now." Jane said then smiled confidently. Nang masigurong nakaakyat na nga si Jane sa second floor ay kaagad na tumadyak si Leica.
"That girl is really trying me." inis na sabi ni Leica na hanggang ngayon ay hawak pa rin ni Abby sa braso.
Bumitaw naman si Andromeda sa pagkakahawak ko saka lumapit sa kanila.
"Alam mo maigi pang matulog na lang tayo." she suggested.
"Ni wala ka pa ngang pampalit." Leica said as she rolled her eyes na parang pati kay Andromeda ay inis na din sya.
"Dito ba tayo sa may salas tutulog?" nakangibit na tanong ni Calix na hindi namin namalayang nakapagpalit na pala ng damit. Ganun din si Greg.
"Woah. That's fast." Abby said referring to Calix and Greg changing.
"I think there's two guest room upstairs. Wala naman kami ditong kutsyon panglagay sa sahig eh kaya sa guest room na lang muna kayo." sabi ko naman.
"Wow! Ang gara naman! Kung samin kayo nagovernight walang guest room guest room! Sa sahig lahat kahit walang kutsyon!" Calix exclaimed which made us chuckle.
Umakyat na kaming lahat sa taas pagkatapos ng ilan pang usapan. Iniwan na din nila ang ilang gamit sa baba since hindi naman ganon kaissue ang safety dito.
Pagbukas ng guest room ay kaagad na tumalon pahiga si Leica sa kama saka sinabing, "So its just girls here then boys there?"
"Yes." I answered.
Abby imitated Leica's action and join her in bed, "Isn't this too small for three people?"
"Oo nga!" pagsang-ayon naman ni Leica.
"Sorry po ma'am. Sadya pong medyo maliit ang size ng kama ng mga guest room eh. Pangdalawa lang po talaga 'yan. Eto nga pala po ang mga unan." singit nung maid saka inabot ang unan at umalis na din pagkatapos.
"Its probably the same in the other room." sabi naman ni Greg at napatango naman si Calix
"It's settled. My Andromeda's staying with me in my room tonight." I said as I smile brightly at them kaya naman nanlaki ang mata na; including Andromeda.
"W-what's wrong? I stayed in her room when I was sick back then." sabi ko pa saka ngumuso.
They even look more surprised after I what I've just said, "A-ano?!"
"Manahimik ka na nga Perseus bago ka pa makapagsabi ng kung ano pa. They'll just get the wrong idea." namumula namang sabi ni Andromeda.
"Hay! Hay! Ano bang issue pa eh magjowa na naman yang dalawang 'yan?" giit naman ni Calix.
"Oh edi sana kami na lang din ni Abby sa isang kwarto!" singit naman ni Greg.
"There's no way I'll stay with Calix tapos kayong magjojowa ay magkatabi. No!" sabi naman ni Leica na tinanguan naman ni Calix.
"Kaya nga! Kaya wag na tayong magulat pa dito at hayaan na silang magtabi! Bahay naman ni Perseus 'to eh." sabi ni Calix.
"Now it's really settled." nakangiti ko ulit sabi saka hinarap si Andromeda na tinaasan lang ako ng kilay.
Iniwan na namin 'yung dalawang babae sa kanilang kwarto saka pinapunta si Calix at Greg sa kanila.
Bago pumasok si Calix ay may sinabi pa sya sa akin, "Pasalamat ka sa'kin englisherong gurang."
