After we had dinner, Kuya Jacob and I planned to go for a walk outside, kuya Ash went with us. It's not that dark because there are lights on the street. "Nag-usap na ba kayo ni Uno?" Tanong ni kuya habang nakapamulsa. Tahimik lang si kuya Ash na nakikinig at nakikiramdam. I just nodded and smiled. Why didn't they spare me their questions about Uno? hays!
Mahaba haba na ang nalakad namin at malapit na kaming maka rating sa tapat ng Hacienda Del Alvarejo. We stopped when a fancy car entered Hacienda Del Alvarejo. Three fancy cars, the first two entered. A familiar Ferrari, similar to mine, stopped in front of us. Hindi rin siya nagtagal at sumunod na ring pumasok.
"Kuya, I think I've seen that car before." Sinundan ko ng tingin ang sasakyan. Kuya just laughed.
"Reign, maraming katulad nyan sa San Ruiz." Natatawang sabi ni kuya Jacob, tumango tango naman si kuya Ash. But no, I feel like I've actually seen that car, but I just can't remember where or when.
We walked for an hour until we decided to go back home, because the night was getting late. Nauna na akong pumasok sa loob, dumaan pa kasi sila kuya sa Van kasi may naiwan pa silang gamit. Mom and dad were already asleep so I took a rest in the living room. Hihintayin ko na lang si Kuya Jacob, para sabay na kaming papasok.
I comb my hair with my fingers to avoid sleepiness. I noticed that there seemed to be someone in the kitchen. "Hi?" A woman's voice spoke from behind me. It's Keisha. I looked at her and forced to smile. "Can we talk?" Aniya. I wondered why she wanted to talk to me.
"S-sure, wala naman ako gagawin na, I'm just waiting for kuya." Saad ko tsaka umusog unti. She didn't sit next to me but instead sat on the small sofa. "Talk about what?" Diretso kong tanong. She just smiled and seemed to know all my secrets.
"Uno" Tipid niya sabi tsaka sinulyapan kung sino ang nasa kusina. I was a little nervous and at the same time annoyed. "Anong meron kay Uno?" Taka ko siyang tiningnan. She just stared at me with no expression on her face.
"Hello? may kausap pa ba ako?" I said annoyed but my voice was still calm. "Alam kong matagal si Uno nag trabaho sa inyo, may alam ka ba o kilala na naging girlfriend niya o nagustuhan niya?" She asked calmly. Why are you asking me that, why don't you ask your future husband?.
"Sorry, but- I was in Europe for three years - so I don't know if he had a girlfriend." Nginitian ko lang siya ng pilit. Totoo naman na tatlong taon ako sa Europe at malay ko ba kung may naging syota 'yang lalaking 'yan. "You liar. I know Uno likes you but he chose to marry me because I'm better than you." Aniya na nagpakulo sa dugo ko. Ano ba ang problema ng babaeng 'to?
"Excuse me? You said, he likes me?" I laughed and pretended not to know even though I knew the truth. "Oh com'on, 'wag ka na mag panggap, Reign. Nandiyan na nga mismo ang ebidensya sa dibdib mo" She said and looked at the necklace I was wearing.
"Oh, this? This was a gift from Uno on my eighteenth birthday." I laughed at her as if she was being teased. Are you jealous? Didn't Uno give you a necklace, like this?.
"Actually, may kasama pa itong diamond ring pero hindi ko sinuot kasi hindi ako mahilig sa ganon." I smiled at her in an annoying way. "Kung may balak kang agawin si Uno, sorry to say, hindi ka magtatagumpay" Aniya na mas lalong nagpainit sa ulo ko.
"Seriously, Keisha? Do you think I'm going to take Uno away from you? Excuse me?! Hindi ako tulad mo, I don't force myself on someone who doesn't want me. We are not the same!" I stood in front of Keisha and glared at her. She glared at me too. "Ma swerte ka dahil may respeto ako sayo, at kay Uno, at nirerespeto ko ang kasal nyo! I also respect you because you are older than me. Pero ito ang sasabihin ko sayo, Keisha. If it's true that Uno likes you and that's why he's going to marry you, then why doesn't he give you things like this?" Hinawakan ko ang kwentas na bigay ni Uno.
