Chapter 21: Holed Up
“Napaka taray naman ng anniversary niyong dalawa ‘no? Ganda ng celebration, enrolment sa review center for PNLE amp.” Bati ni Lauren na nakasandal sa mustang ng kapatid niyang si Travis nang makalabas na kami mula sa review center.
Estelle hurried to reach her Lauren and pinched her side.
“Gaga huwag kang basher, baka mauwi pa sa wala ang free lunch!”
Sigaw naman ni Sef na nakadungaw mula sa loob ng kotse.
Ewan ko ba sa mga ‘to.
Usapan sila Estelle, at Kyle lang yung pupunta dito para makapag enrol, pero lahat sila nandito. Reilynne and Josef who both came all the way from Laguna na sinundo ni Travis. Jexter, Lauren, Estelle, arrived with Dwight dahil nagbakasyon din siya sa Green Hills. While Nexon took a lift on Kyle’s everest.
Our supposedly night out after our graduation day weeks ago had to be cancelled dahil sa sobrang pagka wasted ng magpi-pinsan.
Kaya naman being complete during this day, the same day that marks Kyle and I’s third anniversary, nag presenta na kaming ilibre sila ng lunch.
“Saan pala tayo?”
Tanong ni Timothy na nakatayo na sa tapat ng raptor niya.
“You guys pick.” I shrugged.
“Kingina mapera ata ‘to si Vanessa eh!” Nexon cheered at talagang napapalakpak pa sila ni Jexter sa tuwa. “Pwede naman kayo magligpit kapag kinulang kami ni Kyle sa pangbayad.” I added, making them give me a disappointed stare.
“Tara kaya sa Rossberg?” Dwight suggested, at tumango naman si Travis.
“I heard there’s a newly-opened seafood boil restaurant.” The latter followed.
Agad naman kaming nagkatinginan ni Kyle.
“Holy shit mapapagastos tayo ngayon, Nessa.” He said, hardly swallowing.
Napakibit balikat na lamang ako, minsan lang naman.
“Don’t worry, Travis and I will also make ambag!” Reilynne said as she hugged my arm, pulling me away from Kyle. “Kami rin.” Estelle said, at marahas namang napalingon si Jexter sa kan’ya na para bang wala naman silang napagkasunduan or napag usapan man lang tungkol sa desisyon ni Estelle.
“Oh ako na lang pala. Ang kakunatan mo na naman Sean Jexter.”
Naiinis na sabi ni Estelle na tumabi na rin sa’kin.
“Oh huwag na umasang mag aambag ang mga single ha.” Timothy intervene.
“Nagsalita ang pinaka kuripot sa lahat.” Irap naman ni Lauren. “At least ako hindi nang s-scam na sa libre na lang nabubuhay.” Tim darted back.
“Shutangina tama na nga ‘yang love language niyo na words of pikunan, okay? Gutom na ang bakla, so tara na!” Reklamo ni Josef na halos ilabas na ang buong katawan niya sa bintana ng kotse ni Travis.
We all already got into our respective vehicles dahil isang oras pa kami mag d-drive and it’s already 12:00 o’clock. I took turn from driving Kyle’s everest dahil si Nexon na ang nag drive kanina mula Green Hills at mula pagsundo sa’kin.
Mamaya naman pauwi ay si Kyle na ang mag d-drive.
Kyle and I remained quiet for the whole time as we let Nexon finally have his slumber form the backseat. Hindi rin naman nagtagal ay nakarating na kami sa Rossberg dahil wala na kaming inabutan na traffic.
The guys helped the staff from preparing the tables here on the restaurant’s porch-like vicinity. Ang init, tabing dagat pa yung restaurant.
“Sir, pwede po magpalagay ng extra fan dito?”
