"Okay! Ang ayaw ko sa lahat ay yung mabagal kumilos, hindi nakikinig at palaging lutang. Maliwanag ba?!" I swallowed hard and nodded.

Naka-linya kaming tatlo nila Laren habang dumadaan sa gitna namin si Ate Alma. Her intimidating presence made us fixed our gesture and hoping that we will not be in her blacklist.

"Tia, tignan mo yung kilay ni ate Alma, kulang nalang malagpasan na yung Mt. Fuji," napaawang ang bibig ko nang bumulong si Marissa. Humagikgik lang siya at pinagsiklop ang dalawang kamay bago ibinalik ang tingin sa ginang.

Ate Alma didn't seem to hear it. Nakasiklop ang mga braso nito at may dala-dalang mataas na stick na animo'y isang guro na handang magturo sa nga estudyante niya.

We are now wearing an apron and a hairnet. Ate Alma is our head when it comes to the bakery. Matagal na siyang nagtra-trabaho rito kaya siya ang pinagkakatiwalaan ng lola nila Laren.

"Ang pinaka-ayaw ko rin sa lahat ay yung makupad at pala-tanong. Maliwanag ba?!"

"O-opo, ate Alma." Sabay-sabay n

    Napatukod ako sa hamba ng lamesa at mahigpit na hinawakan iyong bilang suporta. Nahihilo ako at unti-unting hindi nagiging normal ang paningin ko. "Celestia, ayos kalang ba? Uminom ka muna ng tubig," Maria handed me a glass of water which I immediately drank. Nang hagurin ni Laren ang likod ko ay napansin niyang basang-basa iyon. I'm sweating so bad. In my peripheral vision, I saw her getting a new handkerchief and wiped my sweating back. Pina-upo muna nila ako at pinagpahinga. What suddenly happened to me? "Oh," inabutan ako ni Marissa ng isang paper bag. "Kumain ka muna, alam kong sumama ang pakiramdam mo dahil nalipasan ka ng gutom. And let me guess, hindi ka sanay sa mga ganitong gawain no?" Being embarrassed, I nodded. Unang araw ko palang sa trabaho ay inaabala ko pa sila. "Magpahinga ka muna diyan, Celestia," tumango ako at nakinig. Sinimulan ko na rin kainin ang binigay sa akin ni Laren. Umiikot pa rin ang paningin ko at pinagpapawisan ng sobra. "Ate Alma, Tignan mo dal

    It's past midnight already ng maalimpungatan ako. I'm thirsty and made my way to the kitchen. My forehead is knotted when the light is still up in the salas.Nang magtungo ako 'run ay nakita ko si Wayde, bahagyang nakalagay ang mga braso sa coffee table at ito ang ginamit niya bilang unan. He's sleeping peacefully. Napagod yata ito dahil sa ginagawa.Lots of paperworks was scattered on his table as usual. No wonder that he's a hella working guy. I wonder where his parents are right now. They must've been so proud to see their son working hard to earn the achievements he has now.I squatted in front of him and watched those small details from him. Nakatungo lang ako sa kanya at pinagmasdan siya. I laid my chin above the coffee table and stared at him."You're going to marry someone, Celestia.""Meet your groom here this instant, Celestia! Huwag mo akong galitin."Marriage.Yan ang pinaka-iiwasan ko sa lahat. Matagal ko ng naririnig kay daddy ang usapin sa mga ganun, but I just neglec

    Inangat ko ang kamay ko para kunin sana iyon nang may humagip sa kamay ko. Napaawang ang bibig ko at sinuyod ang kamay na nakahawak sa akin."What are you doing?" his voice is stern and serious."I-I'm sorry, I just saw that... uhm a contract about something," tila naumid ang dila ko at hindi maipagpatuloy ang sasabihin.He put my hands down and fix the papers in his table. Nang maayos at malagay sa lalagyan nito ay humarap siya sa'kin. Hindi ko magawang salubungin ang tingin niya."Why are you still up by this hour?" His voice is still groggy. Umiling ako."Naalimpungatan lang ako. I was about to fetch a glass of water when I saw you here. G-Gigisingin sana kita, but I think you're already up.""Really?" may pagdududa at panunudyo sa boses niya. He’s teasing me again.I stood up. Pinagpagan ko ang sarili, "Talagang-talaga. Bye!"I hurriedly turned my back away from him and headed to the kitchen. Kumuha ako ng isang baso tubig at kaagad na ininom iyon. What I saw earlier went back thr

    “Uh… may problema ba?” takang tanong ko. Lumapit si ate Alma sa akin at sinuyod ako mula ulo hanggang paa. “Ikaw…” What? Napatingin ako sa pambisig na relo at nakitang hindi pa naman ako late. In fact, I just arrived five minutes before the in time. “Celestia.. sabihin mo nga sa amin.” “Na ano?” ano ba ang sinasabi nila? “Bakit mo kasama si Clayton?” Finally, Tita Alma was the one who blurted it out. “Clayton? Oh, he’s my close friend way back in highschool.” Napaawang ang bibig nilang lahat at sabay-sabay na napasigaw. “What?!” I was startled a bit. “Y-yeah,” napakamot ako sa ulo.”Malalate na sana ako sa trabaho kaso sinundo niya ako sa bahay at naghatid sa akin rito.” Hindi ko alam kung matatawa o maiiling ako sa mga reaksyon nila. Their eyes widened in shock and the three of them rushedly went to me. “Anong favorite food niya? Favorite color? Anong tipo niya sa babae? Sagutin mo’ko Celestia! Sagutin mo’ko!” hinawakan ko sa magkabilang balikat si Marissa upang patigilin sa

    Unti-unti akong napahakbang paatras habang pinagmamasdan silang tatlo. I don’t really don’t know what to say towards them. What they said congested in my mind. "Alam mo na kung gaano ka kaswerte, Celestia? Lahat ng babae ay pinapangarap na makapalit ng pwesto mo! Ano ba ang sikreto mo sa buhay?" tumataas-baba ang kilay na Melissa na parang hindi makapaniwala sa nakita. "Uhh... mali kayo ng iniisip, okay? I'm... actually renting in his house for quite awhile since I just moved here in Punto Sierra." I explained but it looks like they are not buying it. May mga panunudyo sa tingin nila. "Promise! There's nothing going on between us." Sabay silang napatango-tangong tatlo pero hindi pa rin makakaila ang mga panunudyong tingin sa kanila. “Ahh talaga? Kaya pala pinuntahan ka niya rito para sunduin ka. Pinuntahan ka niya rito dahil kitang-kita naman sa mukha niya na nag-aalala siya sa’yo. Ikaw na ang may mahabang buhok sis” pambubuska sa’kin ni Marissa. “Puntahan mo na ang jo— este s

    Bubuksan ko na sana ang paperbag nang hinapit niya ako sa bewang at napasubsob ako sa dibdib niya. My breathing hitched when he pulled me closer to him. I could even smell his scent because of our closeness. "What..." Hindi ko na natuloy pa ang sasabihin ko nang bumulong siya sa'kin. His lips brushed slightly in my ear that made me stunned "Careful," he whispered before pulling away. Kaagad nanindig ang balahibo ko sa ginawa niya. There's... something in his act that made me confused lately. And it always correlates with the beating of my heart. I don't know what it is, but one thing for sure is that Wayde really has an effect on me. And that needs to be stop. It's just then I found out na may nakasunod pala sa amin. The guy is holding a sharp object and barely notices that I almost got hit by it. "Pasensya na po ate. Hindi ko po sinasadya." I smiled and nodded not to bother the person. When the person left, kaagad kaming nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. "T-Thank you," I said withou

    "They're gone." Kaagad akong bumitaw sa kanya at kinurot siya. "Really?! Out of all the excuses, yun pa talaga ang naisip mo?" napapantastikuhan ko siyang tinignan. "It was adrenaline rush. Kesa naman wala akong masabi sa kanila. Why? You're affected?" tila napapaso akong lumayo sa kanya at marahas na umiling. The confidence! "H-Hell no! not even in a million." That's a lie, really. Hindi ko man aminin, but I know that there's already something growing inside me "Na ano... ba? Oh my!" napatakip ako ng bibig nang marealize ang sinabi ko kanina lang. For the second time around, Wayde chuckled. Hindi ko kayang tumingin sa kanya dahil sa kahihiyan na sinabi ko. How much embarrassment could I get?! Ramdam ko ang pag-init ng pisngi ko. My face is red as the tomato right now. I glared at Wayde who's clearly just teasing me the whole time. Siya pa ang masamang tinignan ko gayung ako naman ang gumawa ng sarili kong kahihiyan. “S-Shut up. Anyway, I have something to say.” “Spill.

    “Wayde! Aren’t you excited for the fiesta?” I styled my hair into soft curls and put on my headband.Naghahanda ako para sa idadaos na event mamaya. This would be the very first time that I would attend such a barrio fiesta and I’m excited for it.Marissa and Laren would be there too. Hindi rin naman papigil si Clayton at sasalihan niya raw ang lahat ng contest doon. I really can’t believe that the brute is here. And he knew Wayde very well. What a small world after all.“Hmm, there’s nothing exciting about it. I’m not going,” ani Wayde habang ang mga mata’y nakatuon sa Ipad nito.“O c’mon, it’s just for tonight and then done. Dapat sumama ka. And I’m also sure that you might be interested in playing the games too!” giit ko pa para makumbinsi siyang sumama. “I have work.” I rolled my eyes. He really is a workaholic. He barely even has time to relax due to workloads.“You can just get back to work after the event. It would be fun, I’m sure. Lots of games and dancing, you know.”“You.

    Tinupi ko ang kahuli-hulihang damit ko at isinilid iyon sa maleta ko. Kakarampot nalang na mga gamit ang kailangan kong ayusin. Nilinis ko na rin ang kwarto ko at ibinalik sa dating posisyon ang ilang mga gamit roon. It took me hours to organize everything.Sa paglabas ko ng kwarto ay kaagad akong pumunta sa sala para hanapin si Wayde. Nakita ko siyang may ginagawa at nang makita ako ay kaagad niyang niligpit ang mga gamit niya.“Uhh, I’m done cleaning the room. Naibalik ko na rin ang yung mga bagay na ginamit ko noon sa kwarto mo.” Panimula ko.Umupo ako sa kaharap na sofa niya at kumuha ng isang throw pillow at niyakap iyon. Nanakit ang likod ko dahil sa magdamag na pagliligpit sa kwarto. Tumango si Wayde at pinagsiklop ang mga kamay. Silence invaded between us.“H-hey,” tawag ko kay Wayde nang hindi siya magsalita.He seems to be in a deep thought. His lips is forming into a thin line while frowning. Mukha siyang nakipag-argumento sa sarili niya. I was looking at him in confusion.

    I dragged myself into such a mess and I knew a lot more to come. I don’t want to drag him in my mess and put stains in his name. Nararamdaman ko ang pag-init ng sulok ng mga mata ko."Shh, you don't have to be sorry. " humakbang siya papalapit sakin at nilapat ang palad sa pisngi ko. He wipes the tears that were slowly rolling through my cheeks."I'm so sorry, Wayde." mas lumakas pa ang hikbi ko nang sinabi niya iyon.It wasn't just a mixture of pain. It was somehow mixed with frustration and disappointment. Pumikit ako ng mariin at hinayaan ang mga luhang unti-unting bumabagsak sa mga mata ko."God knows how much I want to risk this, Wayde." He removed his hand on my cheeks.Sinalubong ko ang tingin niya at nakita ko ang pagkalito sa mukha niya. Tila may dumaang kinang sa mata niya at nabuhayan ng pag-asa. It left me confused."You...want to risk this?" so much, Wayde."Nag-usap na kami ni Laren ng lilipatan ko at pwede na raw akong lumipat bukas. I just realize, nung unang tapak ko

    I calmed down when I saw who it was. He put his index finger on his mouth as if telling me to be silent.“Wayde? A-Anong ginagawa mo rito? And… Why did you take me here?” luminga ako sa paligid.Sa halip ay sagutin ako ay umupo lang ito sa batuhan kaya sumunod ako. Umupo rin ako sa gilid niya but leaving some distances between both of us. The light from the shining moon was the only thing that gave light to the place.Hindi kalayuan rin sa amin ay makikita ang mga pahapyaw ng liwanag na gawa ng mga apoy na galing sa palapa ng niyog o sa sulo. Natatabunan iyon ng mga puno sa paligid. The river looks sparkling whenever the light hits the water. Payapa ang agos ng tubig sa ilog at kung sinuman ang makikita niyon ay mahaharuyo sa kagandahan nitong taglay. It screams so much peacefulness and solace. From those rustling leaves, and the sound that the river made was just comforting.“How’s the fiesta?” tanong niya.“It’s fun! And you know what, Clayton made a scene earlier. Sayang at hindi

    With a cross fingers, only two contestants were left. Clayton and the other guy. They are making eye contact, waiting for someone to attack to catch the pig. "Tatapusin ko na 'tooo!" sigaw ng lalaki at nilangoy ang putikan para makuha ang kahuli-hulihang biik. All of us shouted in unison when the game ended. Isa-isa nilang tinaas ang mga nakuhang biik. My eyes went to Clayton, salubong ang mga kilay nitong lumabas sa palaruan at lumapit sa direksyon namin. "I could have won that!" Clayton complained. The mud was still dripping in his body. "Oh! Ang isa sa mga paborito ng mga kalahok natin! Hindi lang biik ang premyo niyo kundi meron rin tayong mga magandang dilag ang magpapaligo sa inyo. Ilabas ang hose!" Palakpakan at sigawan ulit ang maririnig sa boung paligid. I frowned when I noticed Clayton walking towards the coordinator's place and asked if he could borrow the microphone. Nang mahiram iyon ay kaagad nitong hinarap ang lalaking naging kalaban nito kanina. Nakita kong lumap

    "Marissa, ano ba..." nahihiyang tugon ni Laren pero huli na para tumanggi dahil hinila na siya ng kapatid at dinala sa loob ng palaruan.I witnessed how Clayton's expression shifted. He took a leap into the fences and whispered something to the coordinator. Salubong ang mga kilay nitong nakikipag-usap sa isang kalahok.When the coordinator nodded, Clayton ripped off his shirt in front of everyone. He did that effortlessly! Lumakas ang tilian sa paligid at sa lahat ng mga sigaw ay sa kanya ang may pinakamalakas. Not to mention that Clayton has the same body built with Wayde that can make any girl drool."May last contestant pa tayo na humabol! at dahil apat lang ang biik natin, isa sa kanila ang hindi makakauwi ng biik. Isigaw niyo ang pambato niyo!!""Go Clayton! Bring out your charms, you prick!" I shouted to cheer him up. Kumindat naman si Clayton sa lahat bago tinapunan ng tingin si Laren. The side of my lips rose up when their eyes met. Take that, you jerk."Oh magsisimula na an

    "Please... huwag mo sabihin sa iba." With my mouth drape open, I nodded like a robot.Oh gosh! I can really smell something fishy from the first time I saw Laren reaction whenever Clayton's name is mentioned.“Laren! Watch out!” babala ko nang merong paparating na kalabaw sa pwesto niya. It was almost too late for her to step aside when a set of arms caught her waist and pulled her closer.Mas lalong hindi ako makapaniwala sa nasaksihan ko.“Clayton, Laren!” Sabay silang bumagsak sa damuhan. Clayton’s irritated face is visible as he sharply glared at Laren.Kaagad namin silang dinaluhan at tinulungang tumayo.“Hindi kaba tumitingin sa dinadaanan mo? You almost hit yourself!” Clayton scoffed at Laren. Bakas ang pagka-irita sa mukha nito.“Pasensya na, hindi ko lang napansin.” Paghingi ng tawad ni Laren at pinagpagan ang sarili. I heard Clayton hissed before turning his back.“Ayos lang, nagalit ko ata si Clayton,” mahina niyang bulong sa’kin.Umiling ako, “Nah! Huwag mo na ‘yang pansin

    I nodded. “ Yeah, he’s a busy person.”Ate Alma and Marissa’s shoulders fell. Akala ko rin ay sasama talaga siya, but it turns out that he wouldn’t. He must be so busy with his work that he had no time to attend such an event. I’m actually concerned with his well-being. He has been working day and night consecutively and he forgot to eat his meal most of the time.I can really relate with him also too. My dad’s always so busy with our company that he sometimes forgets to attend my activities in school way back. Nanlulumo rin ako minsan, but whenever I think that he’s doing it for my future, those kinds of thoughts fade away.“Sayang! Pinaghandaan ko pa naman ang pagdating niya. Tignan niyo kung gaano ako kaganda ngayon” umikot pa siya sa harap namin at ipinakita ang bestida niya.It’s a Korean style dress that is popular nowadays. She also has that bandana style in her head that we usually see in the olden days painting about a young woman. Marissa really looks good on that.Her moren
