"Hello, sis!" Lumapit si Raign sa 'kin at beneso ako. "Nasaan kila tita?" She asked when she realizes na wala akong kasama.
"H-habol sila," I forge smile. Ngumiti naman si Raign at hinatak ako sa parents niya. Me and her dad had so much in common at dati siyang kaklase ni mommy so I'm cool with our relationship. And also her mom was extra nice, kahit alam kong may galit na namamagitan sa kanila ni mommy at sa grandparents ni Gwin ay hindi niya kami dinadamay sa galit nila at hinahayaan kaming maging kaibigan. Unlike dad, he want me to cut connection with Gwin and Raign. Kaya hindi ako masyado close at sumasama sa kanila kasi baka may magsumbong sa 'kin kay daddy. 'Dami pa namang connections nun.
Sa subrang dami, pati ata buhay ko mapuputolan din.
"Your parents are so nice," I commented when we sat near the stage.
She rolled her eyes. "They seems to like you nga, e," she replied. "Kinabahan ako, sis. Baka ipagpalit nila ako sa 'yo!"
"Uminom ka na ng antibiotic mo para 'di ka kabahan," sabi naman ni Gwin at umupo sa tabi Raign.
"Mukhang overdose pa yung ma ko-cause of dead ko, sis. Hindi nerbyos, ayaw man oi," she was dramatically held her chest kaya napairap ako.
The program starts at daming bla bla na hindi ko lang pinakinggan kasi panay tingin ko sa phone ko at sa paligid. There's two people that I've been looking for. Yung parents ko if pupuntahan ba nila ako sa graduation ko or talagang nakalimutan na nilang may anak silang gagraduate ngayon? And the other one is... him.
"Alam mo, sis?" Raign said. "I think mas kailangan mo uminom ng antibiotic kaysa sa 'kin. Mukha kang paranoid d'yan!"
"Sorry. May hinahanap lang."
"Are you looking for Yahwi, babe?" Gwin smirked and I stop myself from rolling my eyes kasi totoo naman na hinahanap ko siya.
Agad ako napatingin sa phone ko nung nag vibrate ito.
From: Manang Wenda
Si Wren to. Nasa hospital ako ngayon, binabantayan si nanay. Pasensya talaga, hindi talaga kasi siya pwede makakapunta sa graduation mo kasi masama pa yung pakiramdam ni nanay. Alam kong mahalaga ang araw na to para sayo pero pasensya talaga
I excuse myself and call the number immediately. After a few rings ay sinagot na ni Ate Wren ang tawag.
"Ate Wren, hello? Kamusta si Manang? Is she okay?" Sunod sunod na tanong ko.
["Medyo masama pa daw ang pakiramdam niya. Ang kulit niya, gusto niya talaga pumunta sa school niyo. Kung pwede lang sana, ako nalang pumunta d'yan para sabitan ka ng medalya mo, e."]
I smile from what Ate Wren said. "Thank you but I'm fine, Ate."
We talk some stuff about Manang Wenda before we hang up the call. Pabalik na ako sa gym nung may biglang yumakap sa mga binti ko. Muntik na ako madapa pero agad naman akong napahawak sa pader kaya naka-balance ako on time. Nung tinignan ko kung ano 'yon ay napatawa ako nung nakita ko si Yole. She was giggling cutely when our eyes meet.
I took a step back so I could carry her. "Where's your kuya?" I asked while making my way back to the gym.
"At the gym po," she replied. "Why po? Do you miss kuya Yahwi na po ba? "
I laugh and shook my head. So she suddenly pouted.
"Too bad. He always talks about you and always talks how gorgeous and pure you are po."
Napailing nalang ako sa sinabi ng bata. "Does your kuya likes me ba?"
"I like you so does kuya din po."
