BE BOLD


I parked my car on our drive way. The hit rays poked my skin when I stepped outside. Napapikit pako dahil sa matalas na sikat ng araw.

When my eyes coped up in the sunlight a Volvo 627 welcomed me— aside from it's fast engine and advanced features. Mahal din, can afford naman pero still ayokong gumastos para sa kotseng safe na sakyan. LOL.

The car was parked across mine. May bisita ba kami?

Nilingon ko ang bahay ng mga kapitbahay namin but there's no sign na may bisita sila. Maaliwalas at walang makikitang sasakyan sa tapat ng bahay nila. Surely, there's a visitor.

Naglakad ako patungo duon, I stared at the plate number but it's not familiar at all. Natigil lang ako sa pagiisip ng biglang may magsalita sa likod ko.

My gaze instantly went to him, "Good morning, Ate(?) where have you been?" Damsel asked, He was leaning in the steel gate. Nakasambakol ang mukha nito ay mukhang maagang nasira ang umaga nya.

"Good morning, Damsel. Well.. I-I hangout with my friends. You know, after hard and suffocating works, I deserved to par—."

"Yeah, I know it already. You really deserves it." Umalis ito ng pagkakahilig bya sa gate, he open it wide and signal me to enter. Di pa rin nawawala sa mukha nya ang inis.

"You look pissed, what's up?" Tinanong ko na, medyo curious ako ngayon. Para pating pakiramdam ko mabilis din akong mainis. My mood swift as fast as could see. Basta! Its a girl thing.

"Nothing." He replied flat.

"Ow really? I already knew you too well, Damsel. Lokohin mo na lang jowa mo." He instantly faced me with his sour look at list di na kasambakol.

"I don't have jowa, ate and the right term should be Girlfriend and Boyfriend. Not jowa, it's for the players." Oh, so my brother is teaching me about wika, huh! So, is this mean  I'm a player? Lol! Just kidding around.

"Sus, balita ko meron daw eh." Tumaas ang kilay nito. Wala talaga, gusto ko lang mahuli ang isang ito. Nahuli ko last time si Marcus at meron ding nagugustuhan si Oriel. So, maybe he also have a girl inside his hypothalamus.

"It's fake news. Don't relay on what you heard. Hindi lahat ng naririnig totoo." Umiling ito at naglakad na, geez! Para tuloy ang bata ko dahil pinagsasabihan ako nitong isang ito.

"Yes, Master Damsel!" Pang-aasar ko dito't sinundan sya. I almost forgot about the visitors thing buti na lang ay napaalala nito.

"W-you have visitors, today." Napalingon ako sa kotse sa labas. So, yeah! I'm right. Sino naman kaya ang bisita namin? Is it my friends or... Israel?! Julia?! Di ehh kasama ko lang kagabi yun.

"Sino naman? I don't remember na may bibisita sakin ngayon." Takhang tanong ko.

"Just see it for yourself, ate. You are talking too much." Anas nito at pinihit ang doorknob, he pushed it inwards and a same scenario was seen.

Ganto na lang lagi ang scenario kapag andito si Israel! Yeah... his here playing monopoly with my two siblings. Naupo na din si Damsel at naki-laro.
