"Who's the woman with Lake right now?

"Sino yung babae sa loob kasama ni kuya Lake?"

Sabay naming tanong na dalawa.

Nagkatingin sila at sabay na nagshrug.

"Hindi din namin alam?"

Tinaasan ko sila ng kilay.

"Bodyguard kayo ni Lake tapos hindi niyo alam. Kalokohan"

"Nandito lang kami sa bahay ni Lake tamang chill lang" sabi ni Arc.

"Maganda ba yung babae?" Tanong ni Atlas.

"Wala namang pangit na dinadala si kuya Lake" sagot sa kanya ni Rake. Napatango tango si Atlas.

"Fray, kilala mo?" Tanong niya kay Fryer.

Napaisip si Fryer.

"Blonde?" Tanong niya sa'min at sabay kami ni Rake tumango. "Athena. Ex fling siya ni Lake ewan ko lang kung bakit nandito na naman 'yon"

"Ano pa ba, edi gagawa sila ng baby" inirapan ko si Arc.

"Bakit hindi na lang sila ni ate Naih ang gumawa?" Inosenteng tanong ni Rake. Tinitigan ni Arc si Rake at biglang tumawa.

"Did you hear that? Damn, I wasn't expecting that HAHAHAHA" Tuwang tuwang sabi ni Arc. Napailing naman si Atlas at Fryer.

"Bakit pala nandito yung ex fling ni Lake?" I asked.

"Curious?" Tanong ni Fryer sa'kin.

"Nevermind"

"Stupid, why can't you be honest. Hmm, what's her name again?? Althea?" Arc.

"Idiot, it's Athena not Althea" Atlas said and slap Arc's head.

"Ooouch! What's that for?! Magtatampo na ko!" Naka-pout na sabi ni Arc.

"Hays, Athena insist to be Lake's fling again. She visited Lake before dinner that's why she's here" Fryer.

"Then, Kuya Lake won't accept her, right?" Rake with his innocent face.

"That's for sure" napatingin kami sa nagsalita.

"Yo, Ura" bati ni Arc sa nagsalita.

"Still noisy, Arc" tumingin ito kay Rake "How are you little man?"

"Bro Ura!! I missed you" yumakap si Rake sa lalaking tintawag nilang Ura.

"Im Uranus Vermonte" Vermonte? Kaano ano niya si Lake? "From your reaction, your confused"

"Yes, can I ask who are you?"

"Stupid, he said he's Uranus Vermonte" sabat ni Arc kaya sinipa siya ni Fryer sa upuan. "Dang men. What's that for" Fryer 'tsk' on Arc before sighing.

Naiiling si Uranus kay Arc. "You can call me Ura, and I'm Lake's cousin from the father side. You didn't meet me when you're still together that's why you don't know me" Ura.

"Dude, they're together now" Arc.

"Just shut up for a damn minute, Arc. You're hella noisy" saway ni Fryer.

"What I mean is when they were teens" Ura.

"Pero kuya Lake won't accept that woman diba?" Singit ni Rake na nakalimutan ko na kasama ko pala.

"Yeah little man. That's for sure. My couz is so head over heels to this miss" turo sakin ni Ura. What? Head over heels? Who? Lake?

"You're mistaken, Mr. Baka I'm not the woman your talking about. There's no way na head over heels si Lake sa'kin" ani ko.
