Chapter26 - A.B.C.

Start from the beginning
                                        

Napaisip ako sa sinabi niya at may punto siya. On the other side, hindi ako ang tutulong kay Andrei. “That’s a great idea.” Sagot ko kay Bianca at ngumiti ng bahagya.

 “Drei, tutulungan ka ni Bianca sa kusina.” Pasigaw kong sabi kay Andrei para marinig niya. Then I heard Vince chuckled pero hindi ko ipinahalata na narinig ko ‘yun.   

“What? Bakit ako? I’m a visitor here same as Andrei and don’t you think it’s your responsibility to cook for us?” bulalas sakin ni Bianca na halatang hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi ko.

=_+

“Well, I’m not the hospitable type and you’re not a guest here and if you do, you’re the uninvited one.” Tugon ko sa kanya. Hehe. Ang sarap niya asarin pero kahit asarin ko siya hindi na kami ganun katindi magbangayan tulad ng dati.

“Aissh. You’re so mean Cha.” Asar na tugon ni Bianca. Napansin kong nakatingin na samin dalawa si Vince at hindi na sa pinapanood. Ekkk. Ilan pang segundo ay napansin din ito ni Bianca. “How about Vince? What is he in this house?” turan niya at tumingin sakin.

Saglit akong natigilan sa sunod niyang tanong. Naramdaman ko ding parehas nilang iniintay ang sagot ko at kung bakit ba naman kasi nagtanong pa si Bianca. Aissh.  Humarap muli ako sa pinapanood namin para mawala ang atensyon ko sa mga titig ni Vince. Uggh.

“Vince...is my uninvited and unwanted tenant whose residency is going to end sooner or later. Now go before I kick you out of this place.” Walang ekspresyon kong sagot sa tanong niya na para bang hindi namin kasama ang tinutukoy ko. Then I saw Vince’s lip twitched a little and looked back again to the screen.

“Arrgh. This is unfair. I've never been treated like this before.” Nagmamaktol na sabi ni Bianca. “My house, my rules. Remember that.” Nakangiti kong tugon sa kanya showing my supremacy in this place, in my own house. Tumayo  na si Bianca and shot back a glance at me at nagtungo na sa kusina. At nang mawala na siya sa paningin ko, bumalik ang atensyon ko sa panonood. Bigla namang nagunat ng kamay si Vince and then I thought forcing Bianca to help Andrei in the kitchen isn’t a good idea after all. -_-“

“So.. I’m an uninvited tenant and... unwanted?” Vince said in a low voice that brought chills to my spine. I really don’t want to talk about it. What I said before, I don’t know where it came from. But I know it’s not a lie.

“Yeah..?” I told him but it sounded more like a question. I keep my eyes on the screen but I can sense he’s not watching the movie anymore.

“Uninvited? It can be, because your brother invited me and handed me the keys to your house and not you but unwanted..? Hmm, let me think of that.”- Vince said.
