The Actual Case (<gxg>complete)

Blast!

Life's has been great to me.

A great family

A good career

A happy love life

A crazy but exceptional set of friends.

I have no more to ask. Tanging pasasalamat lang. I am beyond contented.

I missed my girls.

Im with 3 of them today chilling out in a cafe for saturday afternoon. Yung isa out of the country kaya absent ngayon sa usual weekend bonding moment naming lima, ang magkwentuhan while sipping a coffee.

I have work on saturdays but perks of being the ceo, i can slip away to anywhere at any given time. 'boss tayo eh'

Chismisan na ako ang naging tampulan. Ako ang ginawang pulutan!

"How's your playmate?" malokong tanong ni Jadey. Clay who's sitting beside her did an eye roll as soon as she heard it. She's against it. Kiera on my side didn't give a damn. Ang passive but i know deep inside she listens. Silently attentive.

Hind pa man ako nakakasagot. "Stop it before its too late!" that i didn't expect. Its Kiera talking..but it sounded more of a warning! I know like Clay, she also oppossed my doing but never spoke about it. It was only Jadey and Valentina thats somehow tolerating.

'malaki na yan!'

'Present yan nung tinuro ang tama at mali'

'Matanda na yan!"

'Alam na nya ang ginagawa'

Thats their stands kaya siguro sinasakyan at hinahayaan nalang ako.

Hindi ko nalang sinagot. "Its Tinay's birthday next month, are we going to push through the plan?" tanong ko instead to divert the topic. Umirap lang si Kiera.

"I suggest yes, i need that 1week vacation to get some rest! At walang lalandi!" its Clay who answered. It was obviously a lowkey hit for me. Nahiya pa syang direktahin ako.

"No hindi pwede!" angil ni Jadey kaya napatingin kami sa kanya. Alin dun ang di pwede, vacay o landi? "Imposibleng wala dun ang manlalandi ni Tinay! Manliligaw pala! Yan si Kiera!" turo nito. "Sigurado andun din pinsan ni Tinay na matagal na nyang kahuntahan! So di pwedeng wala ako, lugi! Cannot be!" himutok nya pa.

Napataas kilay si Kiera sa pagkakadamay sa pangalan nya. "At least ako single, both actually! No harm will be done!" sagot nya. Patama na naman.

"Ah, basta i'll tag Leslie along! Wag mo kami idamay sa rest chuchu mo! Umaapaw ang energy ko pag harutan. I need to dispose some..so dont me!" its Jadey again lashing to Clay. Proud malandi ang gaga!

Actually we all are malandi. Just at different level and extent.

"Ikaw?!" Clay pointing a finger at me.

"Anong ako?" inosenteng tanong ko while also pointing myself. Ginaya ko lang baka sakali maasar. Ang sungit eh kanina pa sya.

"Sino isasama mo?" she asked in doubt.

Aba naman, alam ko malandi ako pero never ko pa sinama si Ashley ni isa sa mga lakad namin. I have some restrictions din no. Baka masalvage pa nila.

We've known each other for 7mons? And have been constantly seeing each other for what 5, 6mons? i dont know, I forgot exactly.

I open my mouth to respond when she abruptly cut me off by feeding a spoon of strawberry cake! 'it should taste sweet pero parang ang pait' sing-bitter ng nagsubo.
