Chapter 5

Kitchen

I was all smiles while holding my phone to record the play. Berry was all smile too. Of course, Mama and Tito attended.

Nasa pinakaharap kaming lima umupo. Syempre, hindi ako papayag na ipalikod kami.

I instantly went to the backstage when the theater play ended. Berr approached me. "Ate!" her arms spread for a hug.

Niyakap ko siya at hinalikan ang ibabaw ng ulo. "Ate's so proud. Ang galing mo!"

Her hug tighten. "I'm so happy that Mama and Papa came!" she said happily.

Papa ang tawag niyakay Tito Neal dahil papa naman talaga niya 'yon. And he's not mine.

"Come on! I know you want to see them!" I pulled her.

Nang mamataan kami nila Mama ay agad silang tumayo.

"Berry!" Mama hugged her. "I'm so proud of you!" Tito hugged them too. Slight bitterness crept in my heart.

"Thank you Ma!" ngiting ngiti si Berry at saka niyakap din sina Lola.

"Cora, your daughter did so good out there." a woman approached Mama.

"Oh, Sahara, you're here. Yes, thank you!"

Ngumiti ang babae at bumaling sa akin. "Kamusta ka na, Mei? Dalaga ka na,"

I smiled. "I'm fine po." yes I'm dalaga na po and I don't even know you po. Hehe. I mentally rolled my eyes.

Napagpasyahan ni Mama na sa labas na kami kumain ngayong gabi at sa akin sumakay si Berry papuntang restaurant.

"By the way, I have a gift for you. Open the drawer." I smiled at her.

Namilog ang mga mataniya at sinunod ang sinabi ko. "Alin dito, te?"

"The black medium box."

Kinuha niya yon at inalog alog. "Sana pagkain." bulong niya. Napangiti ako.

She opened the medium box. After that she gotta open a black leather box again. "Oh! A necklace!"

"Thank you, Ate!" ngumiti siya. Nginitian ko siya pabalik.

It's a gold infinity necklace with small seven gems at the intersection of the infinity.

"Pag maghirap tayo, pwede mo na yang isangla." tumawa ako.

"I won't. Never." she smiled warmly at me that spread through my heart. "I love you, Ate."

"I love you too." bulong ko.

"What an unfortunate morning." I heard Mira's voice. I turned to her. She's with a new group of friends now. I bet next week, different group of friends again. Raelle and Rocca. I smirked. They should name their group 'Plasticity' and Raelle should be the leader.

Taas noo ko silang nilagpasan. Yumuko kayo sa pinakamaganda mga tanga.

"Go to your partners." the prof commanded.

Hindi ko pinigilan ang pag irap. Si Mira ang kapartner ko dito. We were free to pick our partners last week, that time, we were okay.

I searched for her but the bitch was nowhere. She purposely cut this class I am fucking sure.

Pinagtaasan ako ng kilay ng matandang ginang. "Nasaan ang kapareha mo, Miss Sorilla?"

"She didn't attend the class prof. And she has the flash drive so I couldn't present now."

Umiling siya. "Siguraduhin mong makakapagpasa kayo bukas. But you're minus two." narinig ko ang bulungan ng mga kaklase ko pagkatapos niyang sabihin yon.

I sighed and nodded. Hell I'll make my own presentation and won't bother including her!

"Mei," tawag sa akin ng kaklase ko, si Aldon. Namumula pa siya. Palabas na sana ako ng gate pero tinawag niya.

"Why?" I asked. The adoration in his eyes made me remember Jiran.

"P-Pinapatawag ka ni Prof Jacinto." kabado niyang inayos ang salamin.

I nodded and immediately headed to Prof Jacinto's room. Thoughts of Jiran's handsome face rained on my mind. The hell, Meihan. Move on. He's just a crush.

Hindi mo nga nagugustuhan ang sandamakmak na lalaking nagkakagusto sayo, gago ka ba? Hinawi ko ang hanggang balikat kong buhok.

Mira was there with Rocca and Raelle when I got inside. They smirked at me.

Tumikhim si Prof Jacinto. "Pinatawag kita dito, Miss Sorilla, dahil ang sabi ni Miss Demetrio ay wala kang naitulong sa presentation ninyo. Tapatin niyo nga akong dalawa, meron ba kayong hindi napagkauunawaan?"

Mira's reaction changed. Oh, should I smirk now? Both of us didn't answer.

"Kung meron man ay sana hindi ninyo sinali ang presentation niyo."

"I suggest that we should pass separately, Prof." Mira.

"Ayos lang ba sayo, Miss Sorilla?" bumaling sa akin ang Prof.

"Yes, po." I nodded. Mira smirked at me again secretly. I gave her a blank space. It will be my pleasure to make my own presentation you bitch.

"Kung ganoon, kailangan niyo ng magpresinta bukas-"

"I can present mine right now, Prof." Mira showed her flash drive, still smirking at me.

"Yes, you can Misa Demetrio. Minus two, for cutting me off."

Nawala lahat ng nagmamalaking ekspresyon ni Mira at napalitan ng hiya. Natawa ako pero agad ring tumikhim nang bumaling sa akin si Prof.

"I'll go now, Prof." I smiled at the three before turning back.

Sumalampak ako ng higa sa kama. Manonood ako ng movie. G.I.Joe The Rise Of Cobra. I'm craving for Channing Tatum right now.

Wala pa ako sa kalahati nang tumigil nanaman sa isip ko si Jiran. Ano nanaman to Mei?

I frustratedly turned the tv off and opened my phone. I clicked Facebook and searched Jiran Salazar. I feel like I'm gonna regret this later but it's okay because it's still later. I clicked his profile picture.

Naka-kahel na jersey shirt at shorts siya. Nasa ere at nagseserve ng bola. A volleyball player, indeed.

The shot was so perfect. Maybe this was taken by a professional photographer?

Tiningnan ko ang comments. Nangingibabaw dun ang comment ng kapatid niya.

Erdran I'niel Salazar: Mas gwapo ang kumuha.

Sandali lang akong nagulat dahil natandaan ko ang mga sabi sabing magaling raw talaga kumuha ng litrato si Raniel.

My attention diverted to the other comments. A spark of jealousy ignited within me.

Mga malalandi! Alam kong sikat na sikat siya sa mga babae kaya ganito pero...

Maghanap kayo ng inyo! Akin na 'to, aba! Andaming lalaki sa mundo nakikipag-agawan pa kayo sa akin?!

Padabog kong pinatay ang telepono at lumabas ng kwarto.

I went downstairs and headed to the kitchen.
