/25/ SLEEPOVER

If My people who are called by
My Name humble themselves,
and pray and seek my face and
turn from their wicked ways, then
I will hear from heaven and will
forgive their sin and heal their land

KHEL'S POV

Exact 7 o'clock pm.

"Halika, tuloy kayo!"

A guy named "Larry" opened the door for us. Pumasok kami sa kaniyang bahay na 'di gaanong kalakihan. Good thing he has a garage's space, at doon pinarada ang camper van ni Brint.

As we walked in to his house, the tidy living room greets us. There are sofas, TV set, center table, displayed guitars, and some paintings on the wall. It's simple but, well, organized. Mahahalata mong musician ang nakatira rito dahil tatlo o apat na mga gitara ang naka-display sa dingding.

"Pasensya na kung masikip, ah?" Nagkamot-ulo si Larry.

Meera shook her head. "Naku! Hindi naman. At saka kami nga dapat ang humingi ng pasensya eh. Sorry sa istorbo, ah? Kailangan lang talaga namin ng matutuluyan ngayong gabi."

The Larry-guy laughed and teasingly tapped Meera's shoulder. "Ayos lang iyon. Libre mo na lang ako sa sunod na gig ng banda!"

"Aba! Sabay gano'n? Libre!?"

"Para kwits! Hahaha!"

Meera and her bandmate laugh out loud. They're so comfortable with each other. Mukhang close na close talaga sila sa isa't isa.

Nag-iwas ako ng tingin at ginala na lamang ang aking mata sa mga paintings sa pader. Ano naman ngayon kung close sila? Stop being unreasonable, Khel!

At bigla kong naalala ang sinabi ni Meera kanina. She's single. Out of nowhere, I smirked like an idiot. Does that mean I have a chance?

"Uy, anong nginingiti mo diyan?" Bigla akong siniko ni Brint. "Tara na raw, sabi ni Larry boy. Ihahatid na tayo do'n sa guest room."

Then I realized that the cousins and Larry were now walking across the living area, then towards another room. Kaagad naman kaming sumunod ni Brint sa kanila.

"Ito 'yung guest room." Thus, Larry-guy opened a certain door revealing an average size room.

The owner, Larry, switched on the lights and the room lit up. Isang mastersize bed lang ang naroon. Walang sofa, walang iba. Isang kama lang at mga kumot, pati unan.

Unang pumasok ang magpinsan sa loob ng kwarto. Brint and I followed, while Larry remained standing on the doorframe.

"Okaaay! Dahil gentlemen kayong dalawa..." Narri said and pointed her finger to me and to my friend. "Kaming dalawa ni Meera ang matutulog dito sa kama. Do'n kayo sa sahig, got it?"
