Nang makauwi na kami ay walang imik si Saint. Dire-diretso lang siyang pumasok sa loob ng mansyon niya. Pero agad rin siyang nahinto na parang may nakita siyang hindi niya inaasahan.
"Ate?" Agad naman akong napangiti. Ate Mary is back! I missed her so much.
Agad akong napatakbo papasok sa bahay at nakita ko siyang nakangiti at naghihintay sakin. Agad ko siyang sinalubong ng yakap.
"How are you doing? Sab?" Nakangiting tanong ni Ate Mary sakin.
Napansin ko naman ang pag-akyat ni Saint sa kwarto niya kaya napangiti ako.
"I made a friend today!" I exclaimed silently kasi baka makarinig si Saint.
"Talaga? Is it a she or he?" Nakangiti niyang tanong habang sinusuklay ang mahaba kong buhok.
"A he. Ate Mary, actually he's cute and I like him as a friend kasi ang bright ng aura niya!" Nakangiti kong sabi. Kinuwento ko kay Ate Mary kung pano siya nagpakilala kanina sakin.
At nakangiti siya sakin. "May crush na ang baby girl ko." Panunukso niya.
"No Ate Mary, i just like him as a friend. He's a good friend kasi." Nakangiti kong sabi.
"Talaga? Eh bakit kumikislap yang mga mata mo habang nagk-kwento ka?" I immediately covered my eyes and Ate Mary just laughed at me
"It's normal, Sab. You're twenty. Normal lang na magkagusto ka sa isang tao." Napatango ako tama naman si Ate Mary.
Sa kanilang dalawa ni Saint mas paborito ko talaga si Ate Mary kssi ang bait niya. While Saint is always rude to me. As-in, always.
"Pero baka magalit si Saint kung malaman niya kaya dapat ko na siguro tong tapusin." Malungkot kong sabi.
"Why would he be?" Naguguluhan na tanong ni Ate Mary.
"Eh kasi sabi niya huwag daw akong kumausap kahit kanino. At huwag daw akong makipagkaibigan unless pumayag siya." Sabi ko at kinamot ang batok ko.
"Oh c'mon. You two are already in college. Just don't mind him okay? He's just being a lunatic and over protective. Para kana rin niyang kapatid." Napatango nalang ako. Right. Saint is just protecting me
"Tsaka hindi naman niya malalaman kung walang magsasabi diba?" Tanong ni Ate Mary and winked at me. I smiled at her widely.
"Thank you, Ate Mary!" I said and hugged her.
Ate Mary brought me a cellphone galing sa U.S. It's my first one, dahil Saint never gave me one kasi daw baka ma-trace ako ng mga taong gustong kumuha sakin.
But now I have it! I am so happy. Ate Mary helped me create a instafaca account, it's a soicial media. At dahil hindi ko naman pwedeng gamitin ang totoo kong pangalan. I used danica.sy as my username.
Ate Mary even helped me to take a photo and made me beautiful. Ilan sa mga kaklase ko ay nag follow sakin, karamihan naman ay mga school mates ko na
Even Psalm followed me. Napangiti ako and I followed him back. And after that he dm me immediately.
psalm.axe: Wow. May social media kana ngayon? Sabi mo kanina bawal kasi strict parents mo?
Napangiti ako ang I replied.
danica.sy: they realized na masyado na silang mahigpit kaya pinagbigyan nila ako.
And he replied immediately.
psalm.axe: Nice to know! Have to go nice talking to you for a short time. G'night ♡
My face burned when I saw the heart emoticon at the end of his message. I immediately typed back.
danica.sy: goodnight : )
Buo na sana ang araw ko ng biglang may lumabas na notification sa phone ko.
r.ozen just followed you.
