[b][size=3]FIVE[/size][/b] [i]Cale[/i] Nakakaaliw talaga ‘to. “Uy Cale. Naman oh. Ibaba mo na ‘ko please?” she pleaded for the hundredth time. “Andito na tayo e. Wala na.” I said. She stomped her foot and cursed, “Dammit!” Bahaha. When the car stopped on the driveway, I opened the door and dragged her out with me. She was struggling and protesting pero I was too strong for her kaya successful ako. Haha. “San ba kasi tayo pupunta e?” Ang kulit tlga eh. Di ko kinibo. Hinila ko lang siya papasok ng gate. “Huuuuuy!” sigaw niya. Ano ba yan, magsaskandalo pa talaga e. Tinuro ko ung signboard sa taas. She looked up. “H-home for the aged?” bulong niya. Then she looked at me questioningly. I sighed. “Andito yung lola ko. I visit her occasionally. You know, para lang to see how she’s doing.” I explained. She just stared at me like I said something totally unbelievable. “What?” I demanded. “Seryoso ka?” Inirapan ko siya. “Ay hnde, grabe. Joke lang ‘to.” I said sarcastically. “Tara na nga.” Tapos hinila ko na siya uli. [align=center] [u] [/u][/align] [i]Keenah[/i] Is this for real? May sentimental side nga kaya talaga si kulangot? “Good morning, Sir Cale.” Sabi nung parang receptionist pagkakita niya samin. Aba. Bigatin. ‘Sir’ daw? At hello, andito po ako. Ano ako, anino? “Good morning, Liza. Where is she?” sagot naman ni Cale. “Andun po sa sala, I believe. Nakikipaglaro po ata ng chess.” Cale chuckled. “Si lola talaga.. Sige, mauna na kami. Thank you, Liza.” Tapos hinatak nanaman niya ako. [align=center] [u] [/u][/align] “’la?” Cale said nung may inapproach kaming matandang babae sa may chess table. Her back was to us kaya di ko pa siya nakikita. The old woman turned to us. And she had a very kind face. “Cale! Apo!” she exclaimed. Tapos tumayo siya’t niayakap si Cale. “’la.” Cale said naman. He hugged her back. Ako nakatayo. Parang engot. Smile-smile nalang tuloy ako. Haha. After they hugged, Cale’s granda kissed him on both cheeks and looked at him. “Aba, gumagwapo ata lalo ang apo ko.” Sabi niya. *ahem* Napaubo ako dun ah. Cale looked at me sharply. Ako painosente lang. “Ala’y may kasama ka pala. Di ka nagsasabi.” Sabi ni lola. Wooow, chever. Nakikilola din ako. “Ah, oo nga po pala. ‘la, si Keenah. Keenah, si Lola Angel.” Cale said, introducing us. “Ahe. Nice to meet you ho.” I said, then I went to her and hugged her. I felt a little awkward though. “Nice to meet you rin iha.” She said. “Ang cute naman po ng pangalan niyo. Angel.” I remarked. “Ahaha. Oo nga. Bagay na bagay ano?” “Ahaha. Oo nga po.” I smiled at her. Then she turned to Cale. “I like your taste apo. Pasado.” Then she winked at him. I looked at Cale and Cale looked at me. And I knew yung expression niya was the same as mine. Confusion. “A-ano ho?” I asked. “Aba, hindi ba ikaw ang gerfrien ni Cale?” Huwaaaaaaaaaaat?! Nanlaki mata ko tas mejo nabulunan ata ako. “’laaaaaaaaaaa.” Cale groaned. “Kaibigan ko lang po si Keenah. Nagpasama lang ako.” Tapos si Lola Angel naman ung parang mejo naligaw. “Ay pasensya. Akala ko kasi—“ “Ahaha. Ok lang po.” I said, laughing nervously. “Ah osige ‘la no, alis na kami. May pupuntahan pa ata si Keenah e.” Biglang sabi ni Cale. Thank God! Na-aawkard na tlga ako e. Then he kissed her goodbye on the cheek. “Sige po, lola. I had a great time, kahit saglit lang. Ingat po kayo.” I said. Then I hugged her. Siya naman nagsmile lang at kumaway. Before we were completely across the room, I distinctly heard her mutter something. And it sounded a lot llike, “Sayang naman. Bagay pa naman sila..” [b]I blushed.[/b]
