Epitome Of Revenge (Scarred Heart Series 1)

13

Saturday came and Nathan on his motorcycle welcomed my sight. Ngiting ngiti sya ng tinanaw ko mula sa terrace ng aming bahay.

He's leaning on it.

He got a motorcycle? I didn't knew he will get one.

Pinapasok sya ni Manang habang ako ay nag ayos ng sarili sa kwarto ko. I almost forgot our date. Mabuti nalang at pumunta sya kung hindi baka hindi ko sya nasipot.

"Marunong ka?" Tanong ko ng lumabas na kami sa bahay

He's grinning when he showed me his license. Damn boastful! Hinampas ko sya ng mahina bago umangkas.

"Kelan ka kumuha at nagpractice ng pagmo-motor? Bat di mo sakin sinabi?" I asked while he's driving

"Surprise ko 'to sayo, para mas mabilis kitang mapuntahan" he answered casually then glance at me through the side mirror

I just smiled at him.

"Kapit ka sa'kin, higpitan mo" utos nya na nagpatawa sakin

"Your moves are too cliché! Think of something else, gasgas na yung ganyan" tawa ko sa kanya na sinabayan nya rin

We stopped in Antidotea, it was a milk tea shop at Paete. Kabilang bayan na ito. Meron din namang ibang offer na pagkain dito kaya lang ay sa milk tea talaga sila patok.

We ordered some milk tea and chicken fillet. I'm not that choosy in eatery, as long as they offer a clean food I'm fine with it.

"Ang ganda mo araw araw..." he said while we're waiting for our order

I rolled my eyes. That made him chuckled.

"Wait..." Kinuha nya ang cellphone sa bulsa  at may kinutinting na kung ano bago iyon itinapat sa'kin

"Smile" he said and I obliged

Iba't ibang pose pa ang ginawa ko bago sya tumigil kaka picture sakin.

Our orders are finally here so we started eating.

"Pinagalitan ka?" Basag nya sa katahimikan habang kumakain kami, umiling nalang ako

I know he's pertaining to what happened last Wednesday.

"Kelan ka bumili ng motor? Bigay ba yon ni Tita or ni Tito?" I asked curiously

"Hindi. Ako bumili no'n. Tinulungan lang ako ni Papa sa pagpili" kaswal na sagot nya

I pout and stare at him.

"E saan galing pinambili mo?" Naguguluhan kong tanong

"Someone's belittling me huh?" Patutyada nya gamit ang matigas na ingles

Mabilis akong umiling tsaka nag peace sign para ipakitang hindi ganoon ang intensyon ko. Simula nung nag Liceo sya ay madalas na syang nag e-english, pero hanggang ngayon napapahanga pa rin ako sa t'wing gano'n ang paraan nya ng pagsasalita.

"Nagtatrabaho ako tuwing bakasyon 'di ba? The money I used is my savings" paliwanag nya

"Your house is too near at Liceo, wala ka rin namang pinupuntahan na malalayo kaya para sa'n 'yon?"

"May girlfriend kasi ako na sa ibang school nag aaral, gusto kong masundo sya lagi at maihatid sa bahay nila araw araw" he said mockingly while looking at me

"Tsaka para na rin makapag date kami sa mas marami pang lugar" he grinned

I pout and continue eating. I don't know what to feel. I'm happy that Nathan's really doing efforts just so we can always see each other but I'm somehow against that he bought a motorcycle. I know how hard he's working every vacation, and seeing him spending money like this is somehow hurting me. Okay lang naman sakin na maglakad kami kagaya ng dati, sana yung pera ay inipon nya nalang para sa sarili nya.
