He walked out the kitchen slightly laughing obviously because of my uneasy reaction about what happened. Tanginang 'yan! I ruined my hair because of frustration, fuck talaga!
We continued our meeting like nothing happened. Pagbalik ko sa living area namin ay kumakain parin ang iba habang si Dwine ay may iniisplika tungkol sa concert for a cause na magaganap this upcoming summer. I scanned them all at nakita si Tyler na tahimik na nakikinig habang kumakain ng fries na sinasaw niya sa ice cream.
After a few minutes my Kuya went down to check on us kaya naman biglang natigil ang meeting namin.
"Khalil," my kuya walked near Tyler tsaka tinapik ang braso nito.
"Hi Kuya Brent!" bati ni Avrielle kay Kuya tsaka naman nag wave sakanya si Kuya at ngumiti. Avrielle is a huge simp of my kuya since grade seven kami, but my Kuya obviously treats her as a younger sister kaya sinasabihan ko si Av na 'wag masyadong magpantasya sa kay kuya ko.
I didn't bother to walk close to my Kuya dahil he's seating next to Tyler on the couch while talking about some things I couldn't hear anymore. I sat next to my cousin Cyrildrix na tahimik na nagtitipa sa cellphone niya.
"Bhie," I whispered beside him tsaka naman niya ako nilingon.
"Ano 'yon bhie?" aniya.
"Wala lang, I just want to seat beside my handsome cousin" I jokingly said tsaka pinaikot ang high chair na inuupuan ko.
"You won't approach me without any reason Haya, ano nga?" he seriously said tsaka humarap sakin. Oh yes, my cousin knows me very well.
"Fine... I'm just bothered by the idea of me finding my katapat. I mean, I remembered Avrielle telling me na I'm too hard on the guys I date and she said na matakot na daw ako 'pag nahanap ko na ang katapat ko." I seriously said habang nakayuko at bahagyang sinisipa ang aking paa sa ere.
"Well, tama si Avrielle sa part na you're too hard on some guys you date kaya Hayumeia... isipin mo na may pakiramdam din sila. They are not toys that you could just throw away once you're done playing or once you're satisfied" Cyrildrix replied while playing with the buttons of his button down polo shirt.
"Basta tandaan mo na your actions have consequences Hayumeia. Kung ngayon palang ay bothered kana sa idea na 'yon. Magdasal dasal na kana bhie" seryosong sabi ni Cyrildrix tsaka ako inakbayan.
Damn! Lalo lang akong tinakot.
"Wow, salamat bhie ah. Gumaan talaga pakiramdam ko sa advice mo bhie nye nye," I unconsciously rolled my eyes at nag make face pa.
Lumipas ng mabilis ang oras hanggang sa napagdesisyunan namin na mag jamming muna sa music room namin bago sila umalis. We walked pass the hall dito sa second floor, and to my surprise ay biglang binuksan ni Cyrildrix ang kwarto ko kaya naman sumunod silang lahat sa loob.
"Wow Haya bagong linis ata 'tong mga patungan mo ah" pabirong sabi ni Kai tsaka niya sinalat ang mga patungan ng mga libro ko gamit ang kanyang index finger na para bang tinitignan kung merong alikabok.
"Shut up Kai Silverius." sabi ko sabay batok sakaniya.
Nag pa talbog talbog ang mga isip bata na sila Xyanne, Trixia at Avrielle saaking kama. Kakapalit ko lang ng bed sheets! Sinalo ko ang ulo ko dahil sakanila.
Sila Dwine at Cyrildrix naman ay tahimik na iniikot ang kwarto kasama si Tyler. Room tour ka ghorl?!
"Ito kami ni Haya nung bata, siya lang ang babae saaming mag pipinsan kaya astang lalaki na 'yan ngayon" pabulong na sabi ni Cyrildrix kay Tyler habang tinitignan ang isang picture frame na nakapatong sa side table malapit sa kama ko. Napahagikhik naman si Tyler at Dwine dahil sa sinabi ni Cyril.
