Chapter 17

"I want to cook. Anong gusto niyong breakfast?" I asked at the two people who's lazily doing their things.

Blanche is sitting on the couch while head is languidly leaning on the back rest while Argon is beside me, smiling widely like a mad man.

"Anything." Blanche drawls.

Nilingon ko ang katabi. "Ano gusto mong almusal?"

"Ikaw," he chuckled.

"Putangina. Patawarin niyo po ako pero gusto ko lang pong murahin ang mga tao rito sa bahay." Blanche whispered at herself but we still catch.

"Kanino mo ba natututunan iyan? My God Argon." Natatawang sabi ko.

"I watched some videos on youtube and facebook. But I've heard that from tiktok." Kahit na hindi ko alam ang sinasabi niya ay tumango nalang ako.

I wonder if I have those social media accounts too. I don't remember having one pero pakiramdam ko mayroon. When I was still in highschool, I guess.

"H'wag ka na manood. It's not really... uh.. helpful." I carefully uttered. He loured at me and shrugged.

"The girls are kinikilig with their banats. Bakit pinagtatawanan niyo ako?"

I roamed my eyes on the room and bit my lips. "Manood ka na lang ng movie. Hmm?"

Nakasimangot siyang tumango at umupo sa hapag para panoorin akong magluto.

Pinapagpawisan ako sa init kahit na mayroon namang aircon kaya panay ang punas ko sa noo gamit ang manggas ng suot na damit.

I almost leap over my place when he suddenly showed up behind me. I heave a sigh and pouted when he started wiping my sweats with the towel in his hand.

I unconsciously smile and nibbled the inside of my cheeks.

Matapos kumain ay kagad na kaming nag-ayos para sa pagpasok. Paglabas ko ay nandoon na rin sila at naghihintay.

Days have passed like that. Work. Home. Work. Home. Nothings really interesting happened.

Argon and I are left inside the house. Blanche left with his Korean friend for a date, I guess. Hindi ko na talaga maintindihan ang babaeng iyon. She have Cheveney but she also has that Korean boy, though she told us they're just her friends.

"Bihis ka," ani Argon.

"Bakit?"

"Date tayo," he shrugged and push himself out of the couch.

Even after being clueless at our date, I still stand on my seat and dress up.

"That's too short," singhal ni Argon ng makita ang suot ko.

My forehead automatically creased at that. I am wearing a maong short partnered with a mustard oversized shirt, the hem at the side are tued to make it a little smaller.

His eyes lingered on me before sighing and holding my hand to drag me outside.

"Saan tayo?" I asked for the ninth time.

He rolled his tounge on his mouth and pouted, then held my hand using his right hand before maneuvering the car. Hindi

"What do you think of Blanche and that Korean guy?" I cautiously asked after a long tranquility between us.

"I don't really know." He answered with his furrowed brows. "They're getting along with each other. I think..."

I slowly nodded my head as worriedness filled my mind for Blanche. I know her for being always in a rush at everything. She sometimes forgot to think first before doing something and then regret everything later. Natatakot akong ganoon ang mangyari sa kanya sa pangyayaring ito lalo na't alam kong mayroon siyang naiwan sa probinsiya.
