"Mukhang may nangyaring maganda at ang lawak ng ngiti mo Clay ah." they're talking like I'm not here.
"Psst!" Maka sitsit naman tung si Zeiya akala mo ang layo sakin.
"What?"
"Did you already told him?" Where at the Karaoke room right now kaya nag sisigawan silang lahat dito. Maayos nga at d nila marinig yung pinag uuspan namin.
"Hindi." This is not the right time at aalis pa ako ngayon.
"So bakit Clay is so happy." D ba pwede masaya lang sya ng walang reason.
"I don't-"
"Thea your turn!" I supposed to finish what I'm saying ng hilahin ako ni Candid palapit sa pinsan nya, si Clay naman tudong ngiti akala mo naman nanalo sa lotto.
"Ayaw!" Binaba ko yung mic na binigay nila sa mesa pero kinuha din naman ni Clay at inakbayan ako.
"We should sing this song!" I was stunned, pati sila Zeiya. With a smile is playing right now. Mag proprotest pa sana ako ng simulan na ni Clay kumanta.
His singing like the old times, paano nya nakayanan umakto na parang walang nagyari samin. I never saw him smiled like that this past few days that we met.
Masaya naman sya diba kay Shamai, he choose her.
"It's your turn Ally." I miss him, I can't deny that. I don't want to see him hurt so I sing the second verse like what the old times. Old times.....
"Althea! Someone's calling!" Napabusanggot yubg itsura ni Clay dahil sa tawag ng kung sino man. How can someone ruin the moment dude?!
"Teka lang!" tumalikod ako papunta kay Zeiya but his holding my hands so tight.
"Cla-Cj!" pain, Why do I saw pain in his eyes?
"Okay, but come back." babalik naman talaga ako nu, saan namna ako pupunta!
"Yeah, yeah!" I grab my phone from Zeiya's hand tapos lumabas ng karaoke room.
*Yunjin Calling.....*
Ano bang kailangan ng koreanong tu!?
"Mwo?! (What?!)"
"Woah! Attitude ka ah!" Aba! marunong na syang gumanyan.
"Bakit ka tumawag?!" ruining our moment biatch!
"Daebak! No more Hi, hello na tayo ahh. You should be a good girl sakin Thea. I have a good news by the way."
"Sana sinabi mo nalang yung good news, ang dami mong says Yunjin."
"*Sigh* Your frustrating sometimes you know!"
"Molla-molla! (Whatever!)"
"Bad girl!So bout the good news, I'm already here in Philippines right now right here. Yey!" Ano!? D man lng nag sabi edi sana sinundo ko!
"You didn't even told me!" OA ba? Syempre bestfriend ko yung koreanong yun baka mawala sa pilipinas.
"Basta! I'm with the twins right now so bye-bye!"
"Wait- *toot-toot-toot*" ay tae namang Yunjin tu pinatayan ako. Maspospoil na naman yung kambal dahil kay Yunjin.
Bumalik ako sa Karaoke room para kunin yung gamit ko. They're still singing pero si Clay naka upo na at prang hinihintay ako.
"Where are you going?" nagtatakang tanong ni Clay.
"I'm going home!" They all stop singing ng marinig nila yung sinabi ko.
"Hatid na kita."
"No need Clay. Mag commute nalang ako." Alam ko pa naman yung mga lugar dito nu.
"No! Ihahatid kita sa inyo."
"Thea mag pahatid kana." Pero..
"Ally!" Aish!
"Okay!" Nauna akong lumbas kay Clay at d na sya hinintay pa. Bakit ba kasi d ko dinala yung sasakyan ko.
I didn't wait for him, pumasok na kaagad ako sa sasakyan. I get my phone inside my sling bag and search for my mother's name in the contact.
Nagriring lang at d sinasagot, last time I leave the twins kay Yunjin ang dugyot² nila at ang hyper. He even teach the twins some stuff na dapat hindi nila matunan sa edad nila.
"Hey! Why are you so hurry?!" He look pissed, but a little hurt?
"I need to see the tw-" Oh ghad! I almost say it.
"I mean dadating yung kaibigan ko galing korea kaya I need to see him." I smiled awkwardly. I should put some filter on my mouth.
[Yes Thea?] before Clay can say something nasagot na pala ni mommy yung tawag ko.
"Mom where are they?" sumabay kanalang mommy!
[Who? The twins?"]
"Opo!"
["They're with Yunjin sa playground."] Wooh! Sa playground lang pala akala ko kung saan saan na.
"Okay mom thanks." I sighed.
"Where are you going?" Oh shoot!
"Sa playground nalang Cla-Cj, near my parents house." I can't say that is my house kasi sakanila naman talaga ni mommy yun. I'm planning to find some house na para saming tatlo.
"Bakit d mo masabi yung pangalan ko."
"Nasanay na eh." nasanay ng hindi sinasambit.
"Okay." his turn with his poker face again. Why is he so confusing.
I didn't talk to him again, at parang bumalik din yung Clay na nakilala ko last few days. We entered our village pero d man lang pinahinto yung sasakyan ni Clay. He must be come here a lot. Yeah, magka village lang pala kami ni Shamai.
"I miss the playground." I know, kahit ako namiss yung mga alalang nagawa dito. From a far nakikita ko na yung bulto ni Yunjin at sana lang wag magpakita yung kambal.
"Dito nalang siguro ako Cj."
"I can take you there." Oh please.
"Wag-" too late.
"Is he really your friend?" huh?! Tinignan ko yung tinititigan ni Clay.
"Yeah, Yunjin is a friend, a close friend."
"Okay it's good to hear it." Bakit parang nakuhanan ako ng tinik sa lalamunan. I was to bid my goodbye to him but he's still staring at Yunjin. And fear covered my soul. OA ba? pero yun talaga eh.
"Papa, where's mommy?" I look at Clay with shock. His emotion change into something I can know.
"He looks like you." He didn't break his stare at my boy.
"I need to go Clay and thank you." I hold the car door and ready to go out.
"I won't ask you right now about them but Ally can we go out again?" go out? hang out lang naman yung ibig sabihin nun.
"O-of course wala naman akong gagawin kaya gala nalang." I laughed awkwardly.
"Thank you." Umiwas ako ng tingin sakanya at tinungo yung pwesto ng anak ko. I can't, baka ano pang mangyari dun kung titigan ko sya.
"Mommy!" I wave my hand at Chael. And hug him but a masculine arm hug me and Chael.
"Thea na miss ko yung panget mong mukha." Babatukan ko na sana sya ng d lang ako pinigilan ng anak kong lalaki. Ramdam ko din yung pag alis nung sasakyan ni Clay. Mabuti ng d nya makilala ang kambal baka mabugla lang sya katulad ng makita nya si Chael.
