Love from Within (A Jeron/Jeric Teng FanFic)

Chapter 33 ~ Bounce Back

“Yes of course. Almira already told me about it.”

“Talaga? Payag ka?” hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Jeric kay Mayerie. They’re talking about the photo shoot of sports magazine at kinukuha nilang magkakapatid si Mayerie as their stylist.

“Ayaw mo ba? About the fee don’t worry hindi muna ako maniningil ng mahal ngayon.” Mayerie jokingly told him.

“Hahaha! I owe you this one, Mayerie.”

“Mukhang nagkamali si Mama ng tawag. Wala naman pala akong bisita.”I interrupted them and they turn around just to see me.

“O, sorry for that sis. We are just having a lil talk tagal mo kasi.” Mayerie taps the seat besides her, gesturing me to sit there at naglakad naman ako papunta sa kanila at umupo.

“Ano atin?”

“Aayain ko sana kayong magkapatid lumabas ngaun.” Jeric smiling told us. Akala ko pa naman ako talaga ang sadya. Anyway, hindi naman masamang magpaunlak dito kay Jeric lalo pa’t galante ito.

“Come on, Jane. Manonood lang tayo ng sine then kakain after. Lagi ka na lang nakakulong dito sa bahay, sige ka mamimiss mo ‘to kapag—“

“ATE!” hindi ko na pinatapos magsalita si Mayerie, naiinis lang ako kapag lagi niya binabanggit na aalis na ako. I know that everybody knows about it kahit sila Jeric pa. She apologetically looked at me.

“Maliligo lang ako.” I stood up and went to my room.

I took a quick bath and dry my hair. I’m too lazy to choose kung anong damit ang susuotin ko, now I’m wearing a short, denim shirt as my top and flat shoes. Hindi ako nakaligtas sa tingin ni Mayerie, she was checking me from head to foot. I just roll my eyes and made my way out the house. Inunahan ko sila at unang nag-antay sa kotse ni Jeric. I saw them seriously talking habang papalapit sa akin at para bang ingat na ingat silang magsalita as if I’m not allow to hear what are they were talking about. Kaya lang sadyang mahaba ang anthena ng tenga ko.

“I can’t believe this. Pwede change location na lang mamaya. Look at her mukhang basahan hindi suit ung place—“

“SSss. Mayerie watch your words baka marinig ka niya.” I heard Jeric murmur to Mayerie.

 

“Marinig nino?” I thought. I realize that maybe they are talking different things hindi na din ako nag-isip ng iba pa. Pinagbuksan na lang  kami ni Mayerie ng pinto ni Jeric.

Habang nagddrive naman si Jeric ay nagtatawanan sila ni Mayerie at naiinis ako kasi bakit pa nila ako sinama kung di naman nila ako i-accompany. Magkatabi kasi sila at ako lang dito sa likod.

“What’s your plan after graduation, Mayerie?” ayan nag change topic na naman sila but this time Jeric is serious at kunyari na lang busy ako sa paglalaro dito sa phone ko.

“I don’t know. But I ask mom kung pwede ako sumunod kay Maddison sa US and she said it’s okay para may kasama siya dun.” Napatingin naman ako kay Mayerie na seryosong nakatingin sa akin through rear mirror.

“What?” she smilingly asked. I just shook my head and smile to her.

“If you are thinking about what I just said, keep this in your mind Jane. Don’t flatter yourself I’m not that sugary sister to go far. I have my plans also if matuloy nga ako, I’m not going there to babysit you lil sis.”
