Chapter 54

Marriage

Nang umalis na si Jax ay mabilis na kinuha ni Grant iyong gamot ko at naglabas din ng bottled water na hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling.

"Uminom ka na," aniya sabay abot ng gamot at tubig.

"May water pala..." I told him.

"I only asked him to get one just so he wouldn't see you taking the medicine."

Tumango-tango ako sa kanya. Hindi alam ni Jax ang tungkol sa sakit ko kaya mas mabuti na umalis siya.

After drinking, I immediately felt better. I smiled at Grant because he knew exactly what to do.

"You know my medicines... And you know when I don't feel good," I told him. "And I'm probably the only one who knows that you're nice."

He laughed a little. "I'm not nice."

"You're nice to me. Akala tuloy nila may gusto ka sa 'kin!" I laughed at that thought. "They're crazy."

Grant laughed again, but this time parang pilit lang. "Yeah... They are."

I put my head on Grant shoulders.  "Hindi mo naman ako gusto, 'di ba? Friends lang tayo?"

I wanted to make sure so the next time Xuri will make asar about it, I'd tell her that Grant really don't and it came out of his mouth!

Hindi siya nagsalita at humiga lang sa ulo ko.

I was about to say something when I saw Jax holding a bottled water while walking away from us.

The family decided to go to our house in Baguio for the weekend. Dad will have a very important meeting around the area. And I really need a fresh air. Mom thinks it'd be a nice idea if we spend the weekends there.

What we have in Baguio is a log house, it's actually the most favorite guest house of mine that our family owns. It enjoys lush Benguet pine forest and totally pollution-free mountain air.

I posted a story on facebook and added a text 'otw to baguio' with a pine tree emoji.

Bago pa ako makapag-exit ay bumungad iyong status ni Jax days ago.

Jax Pereira: Paa... Tuhod... Balikan tayo...

Then there's a several comments from him also that was only posted yesterday.

Jax Pereira: Kumuha lang ako ng tubig tol bakit ganon tol

Jax Pereira: Awit awitize awitism

Pagdating sa lugar ay na-excite agad ako sa view dagdag pa ang malamig na hangin. Matagal na rin kasi ang huling bisita namin dito.

The circle wooden table on our dining is huge. The food was already set-up for lunch. Busy si Kuya sa phone niya. Napansin ko namang wala si Daddy. Akala ko kasi ay nandito na siya dahil nauna siyang umalis.

"Where's Dad?" I asked Mom.

"Business meeting," Mommy said. "I don't know when he's going to come back kaya mauna na tayong mag-lunch."

I wondered why there's a lot of plates kung kaming tatlo lang naman pala ang kakain? Tulog din ang kambal.

Naupo na ako pero nagulat ako nang biglang dumating si Ate Paige, Kuya Beau at pati na rin si Jax. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at hindi makagalaw sa puwesto. Why are they here? Inimbita ni Kuya?
