'Dong Caloy, si Amara ni. Isuroy unya ni siya puhon. Ubani intawn kay kamo kamo raman ug edad. Basin magkasinabot mo.'
(Young man, Caloy, This is Amara. You show this place to her soon. You might get along because you are almost the same age.)
Aunt Tina addressed Caloy.
'Amara, this is my younger brother Carl. Nanay Tina just said for him to show you around when you want to soon. You might get along because you're almost the same age.'
Spoke Atty. Royale.
I just realized that they are brothers. I caught Caloy looking at me.
I seemed snobbish but I really can't bring myself to smile in this situation of mine.
I didn't say anything after that. I caught Aunt Tina smile to me as if understanding my demeanor. Caloy and Atty. Royale did not talk after that too. We continued our dinner peacefully. Although my heart is drumming. I feel the tension with my next person. I don't know what is it but, I feel weird inside my head and stomach. Oh gosh.
I tried to help myself and not look at him but I did.
He really smelled nice. I closed my eyes and inhaled a bit more. Surprisingly, Caloy seemed to catch me inhaling him! He moved farther away from me. But I almost smiled because I saw him barefoot again! Why is he on barefoot though?
I heard Caloy muffle a cough and got his face inside his shirt. Did he just smell himself?
Oh gosh this guy! He is doing funny things!
'Caloy, naligo man kaha ka?'
(Caloy, you took a bath, right?)
'Oo Kuya. Naniguro ra.'
(Yes, Big Brother. Just made sure.)
Caloy answered goofily.
But I saw his smile and I find it cute.
