CHAPTER EIGHT

#8

Gian's POV

KUMATOK pa ako ng dalawang beses. Nababagot na'ko dito sa labas. I was tapping my shoes on the floor when i heard a foots step. Walking through the tiles.

"Ate!!!" Malakas na bati nya sa'kin pagkabukas ng gate. "Pasok.. Pasok. Yhet, pasok sa loob!" Sigaw ni Ai sa aso nyang nakadamit pa. Tinuro nya ang pinto at tinadyak ang paa sa sahig kaya dali-dali namang sumunod 'yung aso nya.

"Eop, future trainer." Pang-aasar ko. Hindi nya naman na pinansin 'yun at hinayaan akong pumasok bago ni-lock ang gate.

"Hindi mo ata dala ang bike mo, ate?" She asked habang naglalakad kami papasok.

"May nakikita ka bang imaginary na gulong ngayon?" Sinamaan nya ako ng tingin. I chuckled. May naalala ako bigla. "I thought i already told you to stop calling me that shit. Didn't I?"

"Alin, ate? Alam mo naman why I keep on calling you ate, eh." Pumasok kami at sinenyasan nya akong maupo sa sofa. Agad naman hinanap ng mata ko ang remote at sinet ang gusto kong tugtog d'on. Binubuksan nya ngayon ang aircon. "Why are you up this early? Is there a problem?" Natawa naman ako. Not in her question. But the way she talks.

"Can We please stop speaking english now? I just want my ears to rest. I'm tired at talking to an english person." I said. Trying to make her understand na kagagaling ko lang sa mga englishera kong kaibigan.

"Oh, so it was about- I mean, tungkol sa mga kaibigan mo?"

"You know what? I'm confused. You talked like you're 20 years old when in fact you're just younger than me!" Reklamo ko. Totoo naman! Nakikita nyo paano ako kausapin? Pampalubag-loob lang yung kaka-ate sa'kin pero ganyan! 'Yan! Ganyan sya magsalita! Ang mattured!

"Now you're talking." She rolled her eyes on me! "Then, what do you want me to say? Act like you? Pretend to be noisy? Pretend to be childish? Pretend to be ann-"

"Tigilan mo na." I sighed.

"Ano ba kasi ginagawa mo dito? Talk, Ate."

"I just want to rest."

"You have your own bed in your apartment, Ate. Malambot pa nga."

"I'm not talking about having a nap, Ai! My goodness!" Napasapo ako sa noo ko. This kid! Kinalma ko muna ang sarili ko bago nagpatuloy. "I was still being haunted.. even when i was sleeping." Sinabi ko 'yun ng malayo ang tingin.

"Right. Ofcourse. Hindi mo parin sinasabi sa mga kaibigan mo."

My brow furrowed. "Kaibigan kita?"
What does she talking about? That she's not my friend? 

"No, i'm talking about those lady, 'yung mga kasama mo magtayo ng banda."

"Ah." sabi ko. "Ewan. They're facing their own prob, i guess. Ano ba. Kaya nga ikaw ang nilalapitan ko dahil isa ka sa kaibigan ko. Ano ba? Ayaw mo ba? Naririndi kana?"

"Hindi naman Ate.. I was just wondering..  na paanong nagagawa nilang magsabi sa'yo e kung ikaw hindi man lang nila makamusta?"

"Kinakamusta nila ako, Ai. Actually, kagagaling ko lang kila Gwen. I was with Kelsey and Gwen."

"Oh that explain everything. That is why you're up this early. Calling me that you were outside my house. At 4 am." She glared at me. Napaiwas naman ako. "Mabuti nalang at hindi pa ako inaantok."
