⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀Guys, this is my sister pala.
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀Si Ate Winnie.
Both Martin and Devorha look at Gwyneth, who still looks a little surprised...and flushed.
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐍
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀May isa ka pang sister other
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀than Ate Libby?
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀𝐊𝐄𝐘
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀A-Ah, oo. Si Ate Winnie pala.
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀𝐆𝐖𝐘𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐇
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀Uhh. Hi.
Gwyneth awkwardly waves. Gone was the overly confident and loud femme, replaced by a shy child of a woman whose eyes are still glued on the soft angelic features of Key's best friend, Devorha. As Gwyneth opens her mouth, nothing comes out. Maybe a small and soft squeak.
And this does not go unnoticed by Chen.
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐍
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀We'll go muna, Achi ah.
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀𝐃𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐇𝐀
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀Babalik naman po agad kami.
The way Devorha's smile surely captures Gwyneth's attention. Very femme girls were not Gwyneth's type, usually liking those who are simple and chill.
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐍
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀Ah opo! 'Di rin po kami magtatagal.
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀Baka po may gusto kayong ipasabay.
Observant or judging, Gwyneth shifts her glance from Martin to Devorha as if trying to figure out the relationship between the two. Her eyes sharpens a bit as she looks at Martin but softens as she looks at Devorha.
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀𝐆𝐖𝐘𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐇
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀No. Okay lang. Alam na naman
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ni Chennie.
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐍
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀You got it, Achi!
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀𝐃𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐇𝐀
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀Sige po! Babalik po agad kami.
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐍
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀Bye po!
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀𝐆𝐖𝐘𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐇
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀Tell me if you'll be back for dinner.
Chen flashes a sweet smile at his older sister. Key gives Gwyneth a small hug as Martin and Devorha wave at her. Gwyneth smiles brightly at both Key and Chen, a little shy at Devorha, and a bit indifferent at Martin.
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀𝐆𝐖𝐘𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐇
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀Take care, kids.
The moment the group leaves, Gwyneth heaves a sigh of relief before closing the front door and walking towards the dining room where her Ate Libby is, just taking off her headphones.
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐀
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀Oh what happened to you?
⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀𝐆𝐖𝐘𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐇
