RJ keeps looking at the hut from his tent. It was already dark and yet there's still no light from the lamp inside the hut. They should have been here by now. He saw her walking with the two girls earlier. Alam kong nakita niya ko kanina. Eh sa ang init talaga! Hindi lang naman ako yung walang shirt, pati yung mga Mangyan!
Sige pa RJ, convince yourself! Admit it, you were provoked the minute you knew she's determined to resist you. Bipolar ka rin eh! Ayaw mong mahulog ang loob niya sa 'yo pero ayaw mo ring mawala atensyon niya. Ayaw mong mabura ka sa isip niya. At kumusta naman ang biglang himbing ng tulog mo nang aminin niya na attracted siya sa 'yo? Ikaw lang ang nasigawan na, nakangiti pang natulog!
'Crush' lang uy! Pareho na rin yun. Ano ka High School?
He looked at the hut again. Bakit wala pa sila? Mag-oorganize na ba 'ko ng search party?
--------------------
Kuya Jose was returning from the makeshift toilet when he noticed the lamp still on in RJ's tent.
He looked inside and there his boss is, sitting with his knees up. The front flap of the tent open, enough for RJ to see outside.
Kuya Jose looked at him, then at the nipa hut which is on RJ's direct line of sight, then at RJ again, then back to the hut again. That's when Kuya Jose noticed that there is no light inside the hut.
"Dalawa lang yan, Tisoy. Tulog na at binabantayan mo o wala pa at hinihintay mo. Alin doon?"
"Hindi pa bumabalik.... Teka! Hindi ko alam at wala akong pakialam!" He denied when he realized what he absent-mindedly answered the first time.
"Alam mo, may tawag diyan." too late, Jose already saw through him
"Ano na naman?" RJ asked trying to sound uniterested.
"Tulak ng bibig, kabig ng dibdib. Ikaw ang sociologist, hindi mo alam? Ingat ka brad, walang gamot yan!"
Jose's attention was caught when he heard sound of footsteps and laughter. "O, ayan na hinihintay mo."
He saw Meng and Paolo walking from the other side of the hut. Wanting to prove his theory, Jose called their attention. "Paolo! Meng! Kauuuwi n'yo lang?"
"Oo Kuya Jose, sinundo ko lang si Meng. Napasarap ng kuwento doon sa matandang babae." Paolo replied.
"Aaaah!" He looked at RJ. "Meng! May nagpapabati. Magandang gabi daw!" RJ moved further inside the tent 'Ano ba kuya Jose! Wala akong sinasabi!'
"Kuya Jose, pakitanong kung ano ang maganda sa gabi!" Meng shouted in response.
"Teka Meng!" Jose made the motion of talking to RJ inside the tent. "Ikaw daw, Meng! Ikaw daw ang maganda sa gabi."
"Ganon? Puwes, Kuya Jose, pakisabi sa kausap mo, pumangit na dahil binati niya!" she replied and immediately climbed the stairs.
"Makakarating! Sweet dreams daw!"
Paolo followed his cousin inside, silently laughing. This is really getting interesting. He has never seen Meng behave this way.
-----------------
"Kuya Jose ipapahamak mo 'ko! Lalong magagalit sa akin yan e." Siguro nga nadagdagan na yung inis dahil sa ginawa ko kanina.
"Eh sino may kasalanan? Alam mo Tisoy? Ang OA mo!"
"Ako Kuya Jose? Over acting? Baka nagkakamali ka."
