"Bikini? No."
"Bal.."
"Kathryn hindi pwede."
"Edi ba nga, private naman yung island. Safe naman siguro na mag bikini ako? Like nung we travelled to Subic. Tayo ni Arisse, di ba naka one-piece ako nun? Bakit ngayon, you're not allowing me?"
"Kase ayoko. Tatlo kayong babantayan ko dun! Bal naman konting concern naman saken. Saka sa tingin mo ba, porque private wala ng kukuha ng picture? Kathryn, sa ibang bansa lang tayo pwede maghappy happy dahil walang 'paparazzi'. Hayaan mo, sa Barcelona kahit buong trip natin dun magbikini ka.. But tomorrow, it's a NO. Big NO." Seryoso na niya yang sabi meaning I can't change his mind na talaga. It is fixed already! My gosh.
We are having this conversation again. I thought that he would consider na the island is private he would allow me na to wear bikini, and yet he's so pissed bc we're having this conversation again daw. Whuuut?
"Bal.. Please? Anong gusto mong isuot ko, pants and long sleeves?"
"Gusto mo ng seryosong sagot? OO." He rolled his eyes on me and continued watching the game replay of his biased team in NBA.
"Are you serious? Gusto mo bang pagtawanan ako sa beach??"
"Nope."
"Ayaw mo pala eh why don't you just allow me? Si Mama nga pumayag eh. For what daw ba ang pagggym ko kung tetengga lang?"
He looked, and glare at me.
"For show pala yang paggym mo, edi sana nagpose ka nalang sa mga magazines! Ayon. Sige nalaman ko nga pala na may botohan na naman sa FHM. Sigurado ako binoboto ka nila! Kung mag number one ka man, gawin mo na yung gusto mo. Huwag mo na ko masyado intindihin kase, diba? Hindi naman masyadong IMPORTANTE yung side ko. Sige!" Nagkikibit-balikat lang siya while proving his point.
"Bal.. You're not making this easy.."
"And you're not making this easy either! Tapos na tayo sa diskusyon na 'to diba, mahal? Bakit pinipilit mo na naman??"
Papaling paling lang siya ng lingon. He will look at me then back to the game on tv, then back to me again. Cycle.
"I just want to wear that could make me feel proud sa pinaghirapan ko.."
"Mag two-piece ka dun sa kwarto mo, sa bahay niyo. Doon."
"Tsk! Ang hirap mo naman i-please eh! Bakit si Arisse sinusuportahan pa nga siya ni Pat sa pagsuot ng swimsuits!"
"Don't start with that, Kathryn."
"Kausapin mo ko ng ayos, DJ."
"I made up my mind. No one can ever change it. Period"
"Ah talaga?" Sinamaan ko na siya ng tingin. Naiiyak na ko. Naffrustrate pa 'ko dahil sa argument na 'to. What's with him ba? Why can't he be like Patrick?
"Yes."
I walked to his bedroom door. "Okay. Tomorrow, don't expect me to talk to you or even look at you! I will go there just for your sisters and others BUT not for you! Don't ever, ever talk to me!" THIS IS MY LAST CARD KAPAG DI PA GUMANA 'TO, I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE.
Napakabalikwas siya sa pagkakaupo. Nagulat yata sa outburst ko. Lol buti nga sa'yo!
Lumabas na 'ko ng kwarto niya ang hide inside Jordan's room. Nandun si Tita Ann, Jordan, and Jordan's yaya.
"N-ang!! Kath! Ni-nang!"
"Hello Jordan! Hiiii."
Nakipaglaro lang ako sa kanya. Tita Ann didn't even bother asking question kung bakit ako nandito kaya hinayaan ko nalang.
Jordan is currently showing his singing and dancing talent to me, when an annoying person interrupted us.
"JORDANN! DO YOU SEE NINANG KA-- Andito ka lang pala! Nahihilo na ko buong bahay ang inikot ko kakahanap sa'yo.."
"Tse. Diba sabi ko don't talk to me ever? Now go! Shuu." I whispered to him so Jordan won't hear my kinda 'bad' words for babies like him.
"Ouch!!!" Overacting niyang drama. "Jordan! Ninang Kath is pushing me away!! I'm hurt. Huhuhu"
Dumalo naman sa kanya ang bata and held his hand. Jordan checked his face I think naghahanap ng sugat kase wala daw "ouchy"
"Meron akong ouchy, Jordan! Dito, dito sa heart! Ouch!!!"
Tumawa lang si Jordan sa drama ng kuya DJ niya. Napatawa nalang din kami nila Tita Ann. Suddenly, DJ and his mini me laugh so hard. Yung tipong sila lang yung nakagets ng joke. Umm?
"Why?" tanong ko.
"Wala. S-si Jordan manang-mana saken, m-may saltik 'tong batang 'to." He said in between laughs. Ewan ko sa'yo Daniel John.
Later on, humupa na ang tawanan ng mag mini me. Hingal pa si DJ while Jordan is still smiling. Ay! Lokong bata nga. He's still young pero ang sense of humor, iba.
Tahimik na nang biglang hampasin ni Jordan si DJ sa mukha. Umaray naman ang huli pero ikinatuwa lang yon ni Jordan.
**
Itinuloy namin ang kulitan with Jordan. Iniwan pa samin ni Tita Ann and ng yaya niya si Jordan. After ng laro, pinainom namin ng gatas at pinatulog. When all is well, bumaba na kami ng dahan-dahan.
"Bal.." tawag niya.
"Galit pa din ako."
"Sorry na. Kase naman prinoprotektahan lang naman kita. Ayoko lang talagang binabastos ka, Bal.."
Naiintindihan ko naman siya since kanina nung mag away kami, pero gusto ko kaseng matry.
"I understand, love. Sige, let's compromise nalang. I think that's the only thing that could solve our problem." I suggest
"Sige. Anong naisip mo?"
He held my waist while we were looking outside. Mukhang uulan kase. The sky's dark..
"Okay, here it is. I will wear rashguard.."
"YES!"
"-- BUT I will wear bikini bottom."
"WHAT?!?!?"
"Oppps! You can't say No!"
"Pero Bal.."
"No buts. I'm sorry, love but it's compromising."
He let out a deep sigh and nod at me.
"Okay fine. Rashguard on top but bikini bottom.. Okay na yan kesa malala pa!"
"Okay? Are we good?"
"Yeah.."
"Yey!" He sighed and smelled my hair.
"Hindi talaga kita matiis.. Talo ako pagdating sa'yo."
"I know right! Thanks for admitting." I gave him a wide smile and saktong the rain started to pour after a bright thunder.
Napabalikwas ako sa kidlat. Nakakagulat.
"I think I wanna have fun.. with rain." He dragged me to their basketball court outside and we started to get wet. Thank god we're wearing black. Is it bad to wear dark colors outside when raining and there's thunder? Or is it just me?
Anyways, I think it's fun to be with someone you love under the rain. Especially when he's teasing you about the romantic kissing scenes he had watched on movies. 💙
