"Do you want anything? Tawagin ko na lang si Mama Trina."
"Wag na. Asan ba yung kitchen?"
"Samahan na kita. Nga pala, sabi ni Ian okay lang daw tsaka kakausapin ka rin daw niya tungkol sa pag join sa Soccer Team. Maaga pa naman, merienda muna tayo!" Hinila ko siya papunta sa kusina. Yang mga isip niyo ha! Hindi ako chuma-chansing! I grabbed him by the wrist..
"Let me guess, your mom picked the furniture and desgined the whole kitchen?"
"Actually, ako pumili at nag design ng kitchen namin. Ire-renovate kasi itong part na 'to noon. Eh sabi ni daddy, he wanted me to have a hands-on experience as early as possible since I wanted to be an Interior Designer/Architect. Binigay niya yung renovation project sa akin and luckily, it turned out alright. Ang daldal ko talaga. Sorry!" I giggled a bit. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ang gaan ng loob ko kay Syuichi, kung bakit parang kahit anong sabihin ko okay lang na marinig niya.
Or if I fall by the edge of a cliff, it's okay because I know he'll rush to the bottom and catch me or laugh for a bit but will eventually call 117(Emergency Call). Does that make any sense? That's what Di told me when I asked him kung paano pag nahulog ako sa 42-storey building. Ayos diba, tatawanan daw muna niya ang katangahan ko bago ako tutulungan. Kidding aside, I feel like I've surrendered my 81% of trust to him already. It takes years to earn, right? Sa totoo lang, nakikita ko si Syuichi kay little Andie. Si Shey kasi, we clicked right away because we like and hate the same things. A typical reason, typical story of how we happened. But with Andie, my relationship with him was so sudden and surprising. We didn't click instantly but luckily, we did despite the fact na marami kaming difference(gender pa lang... at height <////3 ), disagreements, clash of opinions and the like. That guy... He helped me grow. Don't get me wrong, I love all my friends to death naman eh.
"The kitchen is always the womans' layer, huh? Parang hindi kusina ang kusina without a woman's touch. You did an excellent job for a 16 year old rookie. Simple but elegant."
I felt a nudge my arm and heard him ask "Are you okay?"
"Oo naman. I was just lost in my thoughts. Oh, what do you have there?"
"Oolong tea. Uyy, Red Ribbon! Anong flavor ng cake?" Is it just me or nag light up/glitterize yung mata niya nung nakita niya yung Red Ribbon?
"Coffee Crumble. Bakit?"
