Chapter 19: Masarap Ba?

"I already told you, I can't. I'm sorry."

"Just tell Everett, we will drop by. I promise, hindi kami magiging magulo!" Rosea pleaded in a group call, one afternoon.

Ilang minuto na naming pinagtatalunan ito. They wanted to visit me pero nahihiya ako sa mga kasama ko rito.

"Rosea, kasambahay lang ako rito. Hindi ko naman bahay ito para mag-imbita ako ng bisita."

"I have an idea! Why don't you take a day off and we will fetch you there, hnm?" Gerica continued to convince me.

Napakagat ako ng labi. Gerica really has the crooked yet great ways always. I can't deny it's tempting. But I have responsibilities now. It's not like I don't want to meet and hang out with them.

I have duties to do, and I can't just throw those away just to have a cup of coffee with my friends.

I groaned, being persuaded by them. "I can't take a day off, I have loads of works," I said.

Totoo naman iyon. Madami akong kailangang gawin at trabaho hindi lang bukas kundi sa mga susunod pang araw.

"Come on, Summer! We miss you. Kuwentuhan lang naman," pangungulit ni Gerica.

"Oo nga, ano, masarap ba si fafa Everett?" mapang-asar na usyoso ni Rosea na may malanding tawa pa sa dulo.

Napatingin ako sa paligid ng hardin kung may nakarinig ba sa sinabi niya. I'm on a loud speaker!

"Anong masarap ang pinagsasabi mo?!" naeeskandalong tanong ko.

"The kiss, Summer. The kiss. Unless..." she purposely stopped talking like she's insinuating something.

Napasapo na lang ako sa noo ko. She's at it again with her green jokes.

"Oh my God, Summer Aly-" she hyperventilated when I didn't answer.

"No!" pagputol ko sa paggana na naman ng kanyang imahinasyon. Mahirap na at kung ano-ano pa naman ang iniisip nito.

I heard them both laugh hysterically.

Napailing na lamang ako sa dalawang kaibigan.

"Kunwari ka pa Rosea, mukhang ikaw nga ang hindi lang hanggang halik sa basketball player na 'yon!" pagbalik asar ni Gerica.

"What basketball player?!" napalakas na tanong ko.

Napalabi ako. Ang dami ko nang hindi alam tungkol sa kanila. Ilang buwan lang naman akong nawala.

"Nope, not telling you until we meet!" parang batang sumbat ni Rosea.

I tried to appeal to Gerica so she can tell me.
