Chapter 18: Pebrero
LARA's POV
"Tita? Salamat sa lahat.." sabi ni Pebrero nang magising siya after the blood transfusion.
Dana, Ian and I are his watchers ngayon kasi mamayang hapon, we'll be going back to UAR already.
"Sheeze! Hindi 'to MMK Pebs kaya wag masyadong OA.."
"Tita naman eh! Dapat mahalin mo ako dahil ako 'tong na ospital!"
"At ano sa palagay mo? Hindi pagmamahal yung ginawa ko? Fine! I want my blood back!"
"Edi kunin mo! Take it if you can.." he said while laughing.
"Moron!" and I rolled my eyes.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit nagiging immature 'tong unggoy kong pamangkin whenever we talk.
Siguro he just wanted to feel the same way back in our childhood years when we both talked about having a big palace, ruling an empire, going to the moon, being a vampire, eating a dozen of pizza, driving a limo and all those silly stuffs.
"Bro! Eunice! Labas muna kami.." pagpapaalam ni Ian habang hinihila si Dana.
"Sungit! Saan ba tayo pupunta?" Dana asked.
"Magdedate.."
Sheeze! Ba't ba pinaparinig ako nito? Kailangan ba talaga e broadcast na magdedate sila? Are they fucking kidding me?
"Tita okay ka lang?" Pebrero asked like he's about to laugh.
"Yup.. I'm fine.." I said habang tinataas ang right eyebrow ko.
"Nasasaktan ka eh! Yehey! Congrats Tita! Normal kana ulit!"
"Sheeze! Stop being so childish! I'm just tired and I don't want to see your leg with disgusting dried blood!"
"Halata naman eh.. You're tired? Tired of being strong for too long?" he asked habang nilagay ang kamay sa dibdib at nagdadramang nasasaktan.
"Urgh! You're so annoying! I heard that quote a thousand times!" sabi ko while turning on the TV.
Now showing: Troy
Good! I'm glad dahil Troy ang movie ngayon at hindi boring love stories. I enjoyed the movie because I admire Brad Pitt so much.
"Tita? Ano nga ulit ang tawag kay Helen of Troy?" he asked.
Akala ko nakatulog na ulit ang echuserong unggoy na 'to pero gising pa pala. Very frustrating!
"A beauty that landed a thousand ships?"
"Yun! Alam mo may description din ako sa Lara of Savanna.."
"Urgh!" I said and gave him a fake laugh.
Here we go again! Pebrero's joke is always either cheezy or corny.
"A beauty that could burn a thousand pancakes! Yehey! I'm a wizard!"
"Bravo! Sabi ko na ngabang double negative kang mag joke!"
"Aray naman!"
"Your super duper corny! Eww! And FYI.. I'm not that worst cook to reach a thousand!"
"I just rounded them off to the nearest thousands.. Anong masama dun?" he said acting innocent.
"It's just five peices of pancakes! Ang layo naman ng agwat! Nine hundred ninety-five!"
Dammit! I'm just thinking of my stupid heartbreak ng mga panahong yun kaya absent minded ako.
Sino ba namang hindi mawala sa sarili? Fate gave you a beautiful first love story tapos biglang tapusin without any reason why?
