Sinundan na namin sin Dax and Emma. Nang makarating na kami sa aming susunod na destinasyon, laking gulat ko ng biglang nawala sa tingin ko sina Emma.
Susundan namin sila…diba? Asan na sila??Bigla akong nagpanic, pero nakita ko si Eion na sobrang chill lang.Pero bat kami nasa peryahan ngayon?"An amusement park?" I asked Eion, "Sigurado ka bang dito sila pumunta?”"I heard from Leroy last night." He replied, doing something with his phone."So di kalang pala stalker, chismisa ka rin pala," I commented to which he just gave me a deadpan stare.Sa wakas, nakita ko na ring dumating sina Emma and Dax now arriving with Dax's car by the entrance. Bigla kaming nagpalayo para di kami mahalata. Eion got us two tickets and we now entered.The couple chose to ride childish and slow rides at first but after a while, they were on roller coasters. Nagpahinga ng saglit, and got on the stalls that gave stuffed toys as prizes.Ang rami pa nilang sinakyan na ridPumunta si Emma at Dax sa likod ng club at biglang humalik. I gasped in shock, looking at Eion for confirmation, to see if he saw the same but I didn’t have to ask him when I saw his widened eyes, just like mine, confirming it.OH MY GOODNESS! Ready to attack them, susugurin ko na sana si Dax pero bigla akong naawalan ng balanse. Good thing that Eion caught me before I even had the chance to land on the ground. Magkadikit ang mga mukha namin..at konting konti nalang ay malapit nang magkasbong ang mga labi namin, his breath fanning my face. He looked at me, looked at my lips, and gulped. Walang nagsalita sa amin ng ilang segundo, parehong gulat at kabado sa nangyayari. Hindi rin sya kumawala ng hawak sakin…But our moment was interrupted when I felt myself vomiting. I leaned into him, and wanted to go where the restroom is but it was too late.Nasuka na ako sa damit nya.Hindi mo na natandaan kung anong nangyari sunod, I was back at Eion's car with his jac
Napalunok ako sa sagot nya, kabadong kabado na ngayon.Mukhang aatakehin ata ako sa puso kapag nalaman kong may kahihiyan akong ginawa. If he's asking that..that means I really did something. Napamura nalang ako. "Can you tell me what happened?"Umiling sya. "No. Try to remember it." As he said that, he was looking at my motorbike that was parked in front of the shop beside his black SUV car.“It seems like it's that old now.." He commented.I was a bit offended but I just replied, "It was my dad’s motorbike. Sya nagturo sa akin pano magdrive nyan.” remembering about the past. Gosh, I really miss dad...Tumango lang sya, sensing my pain now as he tried to divert the attention, "Where're the keys?""Here," I said, showing him the keys. Grabbing it from my hand, he hopped on my motorbike and faced me, "Hop on." He said, motioning for me na para bang sya ang may ari nito. Pero dahil masunurin ako, sinunod ko nalang ang utos nya. Lumingon sya at nilagay ang hel
Turns out there were only a few scratches at wala namang malaking parte na nasira sa motor ko. Thank goodness. Eion called Leroy to get his car from the shop and take us home, putting my motorbike in his pick up. Nagpangako sya sakin na papalitan nya ang aking motor pero humindi na ako, since maliit lang naman ang sira ay kaya ko naman tong ayusin. Atsaka, ayaw kong magkaroong ng bago at itakwil to no. I really love that motorbike and it has sentimental value to me. It was from my dad, for goodness sake!Eion was too afraid to drive it again, or more like afraid of me. Pero laking taka ko nalang ng pagkalipas ng gabi, meron nang nakahintay na bagong motorbike sa labas ng bahay, greeting me. Bigla namang magpakita ang phone number ni Eion's sa cellphone ko at sinagot ko na to, "Don't bother screaming at me again because I replaced it now. Pinaayos ko na rin yung nasira ko. Did you like it?"Napakurap nalang ako, looking at the two motorbikes in front of ou
"Who are you texting to?" Tanong nya pa, ang kanyang blankong ekspresyon at napalitan na ng galit na mukha. Is it just me or I saw something in his eyes? Hmm…what if ituloy ko to at laging itextext si Luke? “Nothing, it's my personal life." I said, "At bakit mo ba tinatanong? Akala ko ba walang pakialaman?” Natahimik nalang sya, "Fine, text whoever you want for all I care.”"Can. You. Just. Give. Me. My. Phone?" I said slowly, my anger starting to get the better of me. Konti nalang at masasapak ko na to. Nagpipigil lang ako dahil boss ko sya. "Catch!" He flips the phone towards me, sending me scrambling to get it. His voice was harsher than before. "I don't care who you text, stupid,” and with that, umalis na rin sya. Just then, Leroy and Dax finally returned from the restroom and grabbed their things from their table when they saw Eion wasn’t there anymore. Tiningnan lang nila ako, “Where’s Eion?” I shrugged, “Kakaalis nya lang.”“Oh damn that
Matapos ang practice, bumalik kami sa ice cream shop (guess who requested that). Everyone was talking about a group name as we ate our ice-creams. Of course, shift ni Emma kaya nagtatarabaho sya pero pinaupo namin sya para naman kasali rin sya. "Why don't we call it Leroy's Squad?" Leroy brought up suddenly as we thought of how we should call our squad now, napangiwi ako sa pangalan na naisip nya."That's the dumbest name I've heard of!" Hannah retorts. She's gotten comfortable around Leroy at nasa stage na nag aasaran at nagkukulitan na sila ngayon. "Well, what's the 'perfect' name then smarty Hannah?" Leroy raised an eyebrow."I'll call it, Teen Titans," She says at napatawa kami lahat. I told her to try and impress Leroy by being funny, but she doesn't really have to do that since Leroy likes her back. I mean, it’s really obvious, manhid lang talaga tong kaibigan ko. Anyways, we’ll just have to go with the flow now. “What about Justice League?" sa
Mayroong ngiti sa mukha nya, some of her wrinkles due to age were showing. I’m guessing she’s around her early fifties, tulad ni mama. She moves gracefully, in her red dress and high stilettos. Kamukha nya si Hannah at Luke na mayroong blonde hair at blue eyes.I haven’t seen their mother last time at Tita Maggie’s mansion, so it’s the first time we met each other. Kapatid sya ni tita Maggie… so baka nga ay mama sya ni Hannah, "Oh, Good afternoon Mrs. Cooper. I am Snow." I said, trying to introduce myself and be as polite as possible. "Oh hello Snow. Tawagin mo nalang akong Tita Annah,” she said, her gentle voice calming me. Tita Anna? I smiled shyly at her, "Oh, okay Tita Anna. Ang ganda po ng bahay nyo." I complimented, attempting a small chat with her. "Oh thank you, darling." She said with a welcoming smile. "You're welcome," Reply ko pa."Hmm...You're more beautiful in person than what Luke says." Biglang lumaki ang mata ko sa sinabi nya.
"It's okay," sabi ko pa kay Luke nang maramdaman ang ibang ihip ng hangin. Nagsimula na akong mag kwento, "Namatay si papa dahil sa stroke, and I've been working hard to support us, that's why I am working at Eion's ice cream store." I glanced at Eion na nag iiwas ng tingin sakin. I felt like I was a beauty contestant and was asked. I wanted to impress Aunt Anna..the mother of my crush...to see if she can approve of me. We talked for minutes and minutes and I remained steady and calm. Mabait naman sya and feel ko nagustuhan rin ako ni tita. Well, not that I’m just assuming it or anything. After dinner, I help her clean the table. I even offered to wash the dishes because I wanted to impress her."No, it's okay, go to the living room and have fun." She said, tinanggihan ang offer ko. "But I insist.."She sighed. "Okay... you're really a nice girl...""Thank you po.” Nginitian nya lang ako at iniwan na akong mag isa. I was washing the dishes
"Why is EIon sleeping here?" I tried to ask them, curious why Eion is here. He has his own house, right? "He usually camps here when his mind is not clear. Wag mo nalang syang isipin, hayaan na natin yan." Hannah replied like it was the most usual thing in the world. Well, I was not close with my cousins so I didn’t experience something like this…guess they really are close with their family and relatives. We then spent the night playing a few cards hanggang sa inantok na kami.Bigla akong nakagusing ng madaling araw, my throat dry. Thirsty, I stood up and headed to the kitchen to get myself a glass of water.I went to the living room, too awake to fall back to sleep nang maalala ko na andito pala si Eion sa sofa natulog.I couldn’t help but look at his sleeping figure. Medyo madilim so I couldn't clearly see his face but he looked peaceful. One would think what he did to me earlier didn't even happen. That was too dangerous...especially for
