ALIENS AND STARS, LIKE YOU AND ME [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 3

Gab confusedly asked her "Huh? Wh-what did you say?" Tita Selene said "I said I loved it." Hindi naman na nakasagot agad si Gab after what Tita Selene said that to him. Tita Selene said "how did you know I've always wanted a moon lamp?"

Gab didn't say anything but only say "ah.. umm." He looked at me slowly habang nakanganga at nakakunot ang noo. I just smirked and said to him "you're welcome."  She looked back at Tita Selene and said "of course I know because you love astrology stuff am I right?" 

Tita said "oh you are surely right sweetie." Bumalik kami sa pwesto nila Ryan at ang sabi naman ng mom ni Ryan "Is that a moon lamp? I like it." Tita Selene "well, it's a gift from my handsome son and I surely really loved it." 

Tumingin siya kay Gab at nginitian niya ito. Mga ilang saglit ay may lalaki na may hawak ng cake at nagsimula naman na kami kumanta ng birthday song kay Tita Selene. After we sang, Gab said to her "make a wish first." 

Tita Selene closed her eyes then she blew the candle. Maya-maya pa ay nagsalita si Tita Selene at ang sabi niya "Thank you so much to my only and tender son, Gab and I am lucky to have him and people na nandito ngayon. oh, you eat already na ha? And enjoy the night okay?" After that ay kumain na kami ng sabay-sabay. 

Seeing the people around here with their parents makes me feel alone even more. Ako lang ata ang walang magulang na kasama dito eh. Well, alam ko na ang iba ay gustong hindi makasama ang magulang nila but I'm not like them. 

Maybe it's because simula palang nung grade 2 ako ay wala na sila sa tabi ko. They all care about is their company. They care as if its their son and not me. Pero nasanay naman na ako, sanay na akong walang magulang. 

After we dine ay tumayo ako sa ikanauupuan ko at kumuha ng drinks. I just stood there and gazed the people around. Habang nakatingin sa paligid ay may narinig akong boses. I heard her said "can I have a tissue please? Thank you." 

The voice sounds familiar. Lumingon ako, at nang lumingon ako, nakita ko na nakatalikod na ito at naglalakad patungo sa table that I assume where she was seated. Hindi ko na lang iyon inintindi at tumigin na lang sa ibang direksyon. I saw Gab with Ryan raising and waving his hands at me. Lumapit ako at biglang na lang niya ako niyakap.

 Gab said "Dude thank you so much." I said habang inialis ang kamay niya sa pakakaakap sakin "Stop hugging me!" He stopped hugging and he said "thank you so much bro." I said "don't thanked me, kailangan mo bayaran yan." 

Gab asked "bakit magkano ba yun?" i said " kukwentahin ko pa." Gab said "kukwentahin?" I said "It includes the gas and the time that I've wasted."

 Natawa si Gab and said "HAHAHAHA bakit magkano ba oras mo?" I said " okay, okay stop laughing, I'm just kidding. Wag mo na bayaran okay? Mom mo naman yun eh. Hindi mo girlfriend, oh wait, wala ka palang girlfriend." Gab suddenly stopped laughing and start glaring at me.

Ryan laughed "HAHAHAHA wala ka palang girlfriend eh." Gab said "I don't have a girlfriend kasi hindi ako makapili dahil sa daming nagkakagusto sa akin."

 I said "really? Baka walang kang pagpipilian dahil wala naman nagkakagusto sayo." Ryan keeps on laughing. Gab said "stopped it! Ikaw nga din walang girlfriend." I said "meron, naging ex lang. ikaw? Ex o hindi, walang pa din." 

Ryan said "HAHAHAHA ano ka ngayon bro?" Gab glared and mumbling at me. Then suddenly he said "Wait! Is it Really?!" 

Napatigil naman si Ryan sa kakatawa at napakunot ang noo ko sa kanya. Ryan asked "oh bakit? Nababaliaw kana ba?" Gab said "is it really her?"

 Ryan and I looked at where Gab was looking and looked back at him. I asked "her?" Gab said "yeah her." Ryan Asked "sino?" Gab said "Kayla."

 I asked "Kayla is here?"  Gab said "well, I'm not really sure." Ryan said "naku gusto mo lang makabawi kay AA." Sabi ni Gab "I'd like to but hindi sa ganitong paraan noh. I'm serious."
