"Opo." "Trust each other.Dapat intindihin niyo rin ang isa't isa." "Ma,para naman po kaming ikakasal niyan." "Payo lang naman at saka dun rin naman papunta yung eh diba Xian?" "Opo.Bhie,ayaw mo nun,at least alam na natin.That's coming from two people that has been married for 16 years."
"I know.Sinasabi ko lang." "Xian,why didn't you invite your mom over?" "Busy po siya sa work eh." "Ah,sana pagdating ng break niyo sa school,sumama siya." "Sasabihin ko po." "Kim,tumaba ka yata." "Kasi po si Xian kung ano ano ang pinakakain sa akin."
"That's good,just like I asked him too." "Pa!Ang taba ko tuloy." "You're just the right weight.Kailangan mo pa ngang tumaba ng konti." "Don't worry sir,papatabain ko pa po." "Good."Natapos na silang kumain.
Nagpresinta si Kim na maghugas."Bhie,tulungan na kita." "Huwag na,umupo ka na lang duon." "No.I wanna help." "Fine.Ikaw ang maglagay ng pinggan sa lalagyan." "How about this,ako ang maghuhugas at magpupunas at ilalagay mo na lang sa lalagyan."
"Bhie,that's not fair.You took my job." "I don't want your hands to get dry." "But I wanna do something." "Sige na,ako na lang dito." "Pero ikaw ang bisita."she pouted."Sige ka,hahalikan kita diyan." Kim continued pouting.
"Bhie,lalapit na ako."he was about to lean over but Kim put soap on his face."Bhie!"she laughed."Akala mo ha."Naghabulan sila sa kusina hanggang mapagod.Kim sat on Xian's lap."I love you Bhie." "I love you too."Kim wiped Xian's face and kissed his cheek.Tinapos na niya ang mga hugasin at naupo.
Allan went downstairs"Xian,can I talk to you for a second?" "Ah opo."Kim got off of him and he followed her dad."Ano po yun?" "I just want us to have a talk." "Ah..sige po." "Xian,I know you've liked Kim since you guys met.Ang gusto ko lang sanang sabihin ay huwag na huwag mo siyang sasaktan.Sana panghabang buhay na ito.I've never seen her hurt before and I don't want to." "Makakaasa po kayo." "I'll take your word for it.You may go now."Xian got up and was about to open the door."Xian,salamat." "You're welcome po."
Nakita niya si Kim paglabas niya."Oh Bhie,kanina ka pa diyan?" "Hindi naman..teka,bakit parang namumula ka?" "Ah wala,ninerbiyos lang." "Anong sinabi ni Papa?" "Wala,he just reminded me of some things." "Okay ka lang?" "Yup,perfectly fine." "Uwi ka na.Gumagabi na rin eh." "Aww,can I stay here for at least ten more minutes?" "Okay."Kim went downstairs and turned the tv on.
She put a pillow on her lap and tapped it.Xian got on the couch and put his head down on Kim's lap.She played with his hair while they were watching.Nakatulog silang dalawa."Lovebirds,sa kwarto niyo na kayo matulog."Emma said.Both of them woke up and went to their own rooms.Xian was about to sleep when he decided to go to Kim's room real quick"Goodnight Bhie."he kissed her forehead and went back to his room.
Isang araw habang na sa school sila,hindi sila magkasama dahil nga iba ang schedule nila.Nakita ni Kim si Xian na may kasamang babae."Xian." she called.He didn't hear her.The girl,leaned and kissed Xian.Kim ran.She didn't hear Xian getting mad at the girl.Alyssa saw her and followed her."Kim!"she continued running.
"Kim!" "Oh Alyssa.*sniff*Ano,may kailangan ka?" "Okay ka lang?" "Ha yeah.Hey,tapos na ba classes mo?" "Oo." "Ako rin,tara kain na muna tayo." "Saan?" "Chowking."Kim called her driver."Kim,diba usually sa McDo tayo?" "Gusto ko ng iba.I'm craving for siomai." "Kuya,pakisundo nga po kami sa front gate."
She hung up the phone and got Alyssa's hand."Wait Kim,hindi mo ba isasama si Xian?" "Hindi na,busog na yun."While in the car,Xian was calling her.She turned her phone off."May problema ba kayo?" "Wala." "Bakit hindi mo sinasagot?" "Ah..mamaya na lang,girls bonding muna."
"Sinabi mo ba sa kanya?"she shook her head."Baka nag aalala na yun." "Bahala siya." "Kim,magusap kayo.Tell him what's wrong.He can't read minds." "Alam niya." "Ano bang nangyari?" "Nandito na pala tayo,anong order mo?Treat ko na." "The usual."Kim ordered.
