[i][b]CHAPTER 12

“Whatever, just come in. Basta ‘wag mo ‘ko kainin ah?” I smiled.
And so ayun, pumasok din siya.
Ayos talaga ‘to si Dervin. ‘Kala mo first time pumunta sa bahay eh. Well, sabagay, never pa naman siya pumunta sa bahay ng ako lang mag-isa. Laging nand’yan si Nanay Carmen or mom. To think of it, hindi na rin naman nga kasi kami freshmen or sophomore para maiwan na kaming dalawa lang sa isang bahay nang walang iniisip ‘yung ibang tao at hindi kami nagkaka-ilangan. What do you call this? Raging hormones? Yeah, I think that’s it. However, with the two of us, I don’t think naman ganun pa rin ‘yung situation. He doesn’t like me. I don’t like him… do I?
“Upo ka na. Nahiya ka pa. Kumain ka na ba?”
“Hindi pa eh.”
“Ganun ba. Sige, sabay ka na sa’min ni Nathan kumain. Kaming dalawa lang din naman ditto eh.”
“Hindi na. Wala rin naman akong balak magstay.”
Sus, utot mo. Nahiya ka pa. Kapalan mo na mukha mo. Hindi mo rin naman ‘to first time na kakain dito noh. Ano bang meron sa’yo ngayon at hiyang-hiya ka?
“’Wag ka mag-alala. Hindi kita lalasunin.”
“That’s not what I was implying.”
“I know. Gosh Dervin, loosen up. It’s just me. I was just teasing you.”
“Sorry. I guess I’m just too tired.”
“Ayos lang. Sanay na ako. Anyway, I insist so you’ll eat here, okay?”
“Sure.”
Pffftt… Tingnan mo bibigay ka rin eh. Pakipot ka pa. With that, I added plate and utensils for Dervin. Then, I went to the kitchen. While I was there, I still didn’t take my eyes off of him. He had changed so much since the first time I met him. I didn’t expect that there would come a time that we’ll be close to each other considering my first impression of him as suplado and a bit arrogant.
I was deep in thoughts when Nathan came in.
“Steph, do we still have a room for another person to join us for dinner?”
“Huh?”
“Hello? Earth to Stephanie! Okay ka lang?”
“Uhmm, yup. Sorry,” I smiled sheepishly.
“I asked whether or not we still have a room for another person.”
“Didn’t you see the table? Ayos na kaya.”
“Did you look at the living room? May dumagdag kaya?”
“Kaya nga!”
“Wala ka talaga sa sarili mo noh? Ano ka ba? Nadgdagan nga tayo eh. Ayun oh!”
I looked at the living room. Oo nga noh. Okay, so this place is getting kinda crowded, don’t you think? Apat na kami. Garsh. Kailan pa kami naging apat?
[i]Ako. Si Dervin. Si Nathan. At si… teka, sino ‘to?[/i]
