Baka Sakali

Athena

"Ano ginagawa nyang pwet na yan dito?!" I yelled.

"Aba malay ko!" Atlas replied.

"Athena, I think Auntie invited them.." Bulong ni Zhi saakin.

At dumating ang pinaka iniiwasan ko, ang lumapit sya saakin. "You're drunk."

"Obvious ba?" I replied sarcastically. "Bat nandito ka?"

"They invited me." He replied in a cheeky smile.

"Atlas, I'm gonna go upstairs. You continue the game with Zhi," I said and drank the beer straight.

Paakyat na sana ako nang makita kong may dunating na kotse at bumaba doon si Simon, Vinny, Luis, at si Ahia. Baket nandito sila?

Agad akong bumaba para salubungin sila at pag ka kita ko ay naka kunot ang noo ni Simon. "Anyare? bat naka kunot yang noo mo?" I asked.

He looked at Ahia, trying to ask something. "Wala. We bumped into Collins earlier, may nakita lang kami. We just dropped him off here,"

Theres something wrong definitely. Buong gabi, hindi man lang ako pinapansin ni Ahia. Ni isang tingin ay wala. I know that they are hiding something pero it might be a boys thing so i dob't want to ask anymore. Mahirap na baka may pinag dadaanan pala sila.

I closed the door to our room and called sandro pero walang sumagot. Baka busy lang sya. Di nako nag tangkang tawagan ulit sya at binato ang telepono ko sa kama at tumanaw sa bintana. Kitang kita dito ang mga buhay na buhay na building sa Manila at napa buntong hininga nalang ako. May nagawa ba akong mali sa kanya? baka naman tulog sya o di kaya naiwan ang telepono sa kung sang lupalop. Wag mag overthink, Athena!

Saktong nakita ko sila Simon sa ibaba at kakaway na sana ako pero biglang napaupo si Simon at Ahia sa damo, tila bang namromroblema sa buhay. "Sasabihin ba natin?" Rinig kong tanong ni Simon.

"Wag. Mas masasaktan si Athena if she'll find out sa ganitong paraan. Watch Sandro and make sure that he will be the one to tell my Sister what happened, not us." Ahia replied.

Ha?

Agad akong bumaba at lumapit sakanilang dalawa. "Ano meron? I heard your conversation earlier, may nangyari ba?"

They were both shocked when they saw me. "A-Athena, you should go back to your room-"

"Ano ba meron?" I cutted Simon off.

"Don't tell her, Simon." Sabat ni Ahia saamin.

"Anak ng- walang mag sasabi sainyo ni isa?" I replied in an angry tone. "Just tell me! May nagawa ba kayo?"

"Wala nga!" Ahia yelled.

"Collins, calm down" simon spoke.

"Ask him yourself, Athena!" Ahia yelled. "Ask him yourself." He walked away, leaving me and Simon at the garden.

"What the hell happened, Simon? Just tell me." I spoke.
