NOPI 34: Charles' jealous of Sephine's brother!

And oh, he can cook and bake too. A total package.

"When are you leaving?" tanong ko

"Next week. I'm staying at a 5 star hotel not far from Royal Academy" sagot niya kaya naman tumango na ako't hinarap niya na ang mga pinsan namin

"Nga pala, I brought you guys some souvenirs. How about you come with me at the hotel?" tanong niya kaya naman agad na nagsi-ingayan ang mga pinsan namin

Ed's POV

Nang mag-ingay ang table nila Sephine ay patuloy lang sa panonood ang mga estudyante sakanila. Habang sa table naman namin on the other hand... *sigh

I'm LITERALLY shivering because of the cold aura emitting from a certain SOMEONE's jealousy. Hays.

Everyone obviously saw how Charles was eating with his brows meeting each other and was non-stop mumbling about something. Who knows? Maybe he's cursing or maybe complaining that Sephine's not paying attention to him.

Nang mag-"Tss" nanaman si Charles ay nagkatinginan na kami nila Ken, Rico at Rod at sabay sabay na bumugtong hininga. Anyways, kahit gustuhin man naming asarin siya't pagtawanan ay pinili nalang naming tumahimik.

Bakit? Dahil ang pinagseselosan lang naman ni Charles ay si Kuya Joseph na halatang napaka-sweet at napaka-maalaga kung kausapin, ngitian at tignan si Sephine. 

Sino si Kuya Joseph? Well, aside sa part na siya ang number one sa list of Bachelors everyone wants to marry in the country, siya rin ang nakakatandang kapatid ni Josephine. 

Well, sino nga ba si Josephine? Si Corazon Josephine C. Falcon. She was Charles' first love. 

At sino ang main topic natin dito? Si Sephine, Charles' second love. 

LOL. It's like a love-web! HAHAHA. I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE. THIS IS SO FUNNY.

Bakit nakakatawa? Dahil nagiisa lang 'yung babaeng dating gusto ni Charles' at babaeng gusto niya ngayon!

At ano pang mas malala? Pinagseselosan niya ang kuya ni Sephine! HAHAHA. Thehelltoeverything. Ang sarap lang asarin ni Charles dahil napaka-babaw niya at napakadaling magselos. 

Ang sarap asarin pero wala akong ibang magawa kundi ang pigilan ang pagtawa ko't tumahimik nalang dahil hindi ko pwedeng sabihin sakanila ang totoo. 

Hindi halata pero sa tingin ko'y may mas malalim pang dahilan kung bakit tinatago ni Sephine ang totoo niyang pagkatao. Kaya naman hangga't hindi mismo si Sephine ang sasabi sakanila ng totoo, wala akong karapatan upang pangunahan siya. I sincerely respect all her wishes.

Of course, back to reality.

Nagtatawanan na sila Sephine at Kuya Joseph at halatang konti nalang ay magwa-walk out na si Charles sa cafeteria.

"Charles," tawag ko sakanya kaya naman nagulat sila Ken saka ako tinignan na para bang sinasabi na 'Are-you-suicidal?!' dahilan kung bakit ako natawa

"Nalaman ko kay Stephanie na close si Sephine sa lahat ng magpipinsan. Of course, kung magpipinsan ang pinaguusapan, syempre kasama pati ang mga lalaki sa pamilyang Falcon, right?" tanong ko dahilan kung bakit niya ako tinignan at nawala 'yung kunot sa noo niya

"Really? Like everyone in the Falcon Family?" tanong niya kaya naman napangiti na ako saka tumango

"Really. So could you please stop sulking now? Haven't you already had enough of Sephine earlier? Ang tagal niyo kayang nagsama sa backstage. Pinabantay mo pa nga ako kung sakaling may mag-storbo eh. Just how selfish can you get?" tanong ko dahilan kung bakit siya napabugtong hininga saka sinilip si Sephine kaya naman nakisilip din ako

Napangisi ako nang mag-wave si Sephine sa table namin saka bumalik sa paguusap kay Kuya Joseph. Tinignan ko naman si Charles. Sus. Nakangiti na ang mokong. Hahahaha

"Tsk. I can't seem to get enough of her and just seeing a guy act all sweet and caring to her makes me want to go crazy. Is this even normal?" tanong niya saka niya kami tinignan kaya naman napangisi na ako

"It's completely normal. Anyways, look at the bright side, at least kasama mo siya at nakikita mo siya. Nababantayan mo kung may lumalapit sakanya at kung anu ano pa" sagot ko dahilan kung bakit siya natigilan saka ako pinalo ng mahina sa balikat

"Why don't you be an exchange student in The Elite School as well, Ed? I'll ask mom for it" seryoso niyang sabi kaya naman pinalo ko 'yung kamay niyang hinawakan ako

"Shut up. I can still take it. Babalik din naman siya dito eh. Babalik din siya sa tabi ko" sagot ko pero agad din akong natigilan sa sinabi ko at nagkatinginan kami ni Charles

Seems like we forgot the most important thing here.

Sephine's just an exchange student. 

We're still sophomores in college. 

There's still 4 more years to go before we graduate. 

And the Elite School's a thousand miles away from the Royal Academy, a maximum of 10-15 hour four-wheel ride.

Sht. Babalik din siya sakanila ah? Ba't nakalimutan naming hindi naman talaga siya sa amin in the first place?
