Maaga akong gumising kinabukasan. Inihanda ko na ang mga pinamili ko para sa parents ko. Even though I've hated my life when I was living with them, I know that they need me right now. Hindi ko naman sila pababayaan kahit na masama ang loob ko sa kanila. Isa pa, birthday ni Mama. I should be there, at least.
I took all the groceries and other things I bought for them to my car. Inilagay ko ang mga 'yon sa compartment. Matapos ko 'yong maisara, halos mapatalon ako sa gulat nang makita si Hunter na nakatayo sa gilid ko. Nakasuot siya ng navy blue V-neck shirt at khaki shorts. Naka-shades pa ang gago.
"Anong ginagawa mo rito?" kunot-noo kong tanong habang nakahalukipkip, hawak ang susi ng kotse.
Ngumiti siya bago itinaas ang shades sa ulo.
"Good morning din, Areeya." Kinuha niya ang susi sa kamay ko saka naglakad papunta sa driver's seat. "Where are we going?" he asked.
Kunot-noo at napapanganga akong napasunod sa kan'ya. "Excuse me? Anong trip mo? Akin na nga 'yan!" I said, trying to snatch the key from his hand.
Itinaas niya lang ito, making me fail at what I want to do, miserably.
"I don't want to work right now. I have nothing to do. I want to come with you. Saan ka ba pupunta?" he asked. Napapailing na lang ako kasabay ng pagsinghap. "Sa parents mo, right? Let's go."
He opened the door to the driver's seat but I stopped him from coming in. "Don't come with me there."
"And why?"
Humalukipkip ako. "That's just invading too much of my privacy. I told you, my family is out of your business. You have no business coming there, after all, hindi ka naman nila kilala."
He chuckled. "Eh 'di magpapakilala."
I scoffed. "Na ano? Bilang fuck buddy ko?" naiiritang tanong ko.
He gave me a small smile. "I'd tell them we're . . . something."
I sighed in frustration. "Hunter, please stop, okay? Nagsusumigaw ng pagiging multimillionaire ang aura mo. Once malaman nila ang tungkol sa 'yo, they would exploit you to the point that they'll use you to their advantage! I don't want to say these things about them but they are really that kind of people!"
He sighed, looking away. "Then I'd tell them I'm a friend. Okay na?"
Umiling ako at pilit na kinuha ang susi sa kan'ya. "Why do you want to come ba? Hindi nga p'wede. Ayaw ko."
"Bakit kasi ayaw mo?" he asked in his serious tone.
I gulped. "Meeting my parents was the last thing that I wanted to happen to you."
"Bakit nga?"
"Kasasabi ko lang kanina—"
"Or, are you afraid?" he said, stopping me from what I was about to say. He took a step forward but I didn't budge. I tried so hard to fight myself from doing that. "Are you afraid?"
