A month has passed, I found a part time job at a fast food restaurant, I got used to living with my housemates, at medyo nakapag adjust na ako sa roommate ko. Nasa sala kaming lahat. nag aya kase makipag inuman si Rocel at kapag si Rocel ang nag yaya, bawal tumanggi. That has been automatically a house rule and nobody can tell me when it started. It's already late at medyo lasing na ang lahat then conversation got a little serious. Rocel: so Akhi, magkwento ka naman about yourself para makilala ka namin.
Akhi: well my life isn't really exciting. I live with my grand parents, father side. My mom and dad got separated when I was just 7 and then my grand parents took me in cause my dad is just too depressed by the time. eventually nagkaron na sila ng sarili nilang mga families (my mom and dad) and seemed to have forgotten about me but It wasn't really a big deal for me cause my lolo and lola took good care of me at sobrang bait nila sakin that I couldn't ask for more. We're not rich so everyday was a struggle. Hindi nagpapadala ng suporta ang mga magulang ko so kinailangang magtinda ng lola ko ng mga kung anu anong pwedeng ilako at ang lolo ko naman ay nag da drive ng tricycle. I love them. they did their best to raise me good. pero minsan naawa ako sa kanila kaya ang ginagawa ko hanggat kaya ko, nag woworking student ako para sa pambaon ko, pang uniform, and minsan tinutulungan ko narin si lola maglako. favorite ko tlgang pagkain yung niluluto ng lola na adobong manok and everytime naman na uuwi si lolo pinapasalubungan nya ako ng suman. kahit nga ngayong malaki na ako tuloy parin haha! Hindi naman dapat ako luluwas ng city kase wala silang makakasama walang mag aalaga eh syempre matatanda na sila pero dumating kase ang tita ko, kapatid ni papa galing sa abroad. walang asawa matandang dalaga, but hindi naman ganon katanda siguro nasa 38 na si tita. sya na ang kasa kasama nila lola sa bahay. si lola naman she wanted me to go to the city and find a job, fulfill my dreams here. It was really hard to leave my friends, my home, and especially them pero kase masunurin ako so I did what I was told and now here I am! hehehe.
The whole time na nagkukwento ako, nakatitig lang sakin si Gab. I don't know pero his stare was different this time. hindi sya nakakainis. parang feeling ko tlgang nakikinig sya sa storya ko.
Harold: medyo madrama din buhay mo as a child. pero itong si Gab, hahaha! exact opposite. anak mayaman yan. spoiled.
Gab: Shut up Harold! Nobody asked you.
then Gab saw that I was looking at him then he looked away like he was embarrassed. That's the first time that I've seen him like that.
Gideon: You know, what Harold said was true. kaya nga nakay Gab ang pinaka malaking room dito kase he pays double the rent from the rest of us.
Gab: I think I'm gonna go buy some more drinks outside.
tumayo sya at umalis.
we just shrugg off at nag continue ng tagay.
he came back with another bottle and then sit back kung saan sya nakaupo kanina. I had an Idea
Akhi: Guys meron ba sa inyong marunong magluto?
then everyone responded no.
Akhi: so ako lang pala marunong magluto dito? kase may suggestion ako why don't we just share a food budget at magluto nalang ng ulam para mas makatipid?
Rocel: That sounds like a great Idea but, gaya ng sabi mo, ikaw lang ang marunong magluto.
Akhi: *sigh* I guess I'll take one for the team. ako na bahala sa pagluluto basta kayo na bahala sa pamamalengke.
Gideon: Deal!
then i turned to look at Gab and asked
Akhi: Ikaw "kapre" game ka ba?
Gab: what did you just say?! "pandak"?!
then everyone burst into laughter including me.
Gab: Ha ha ha. very funny guys. I'm gonna go on and sleep.
Rocel: party pooper!
and that was the first time that I didn't feel annoyed or awkward around Gab.
kinabukasan tapos na mamalengke si Gideon since sya naka sched today. katatapos ko lang din magluto and I called everybody for meal. pinuntahan ko sa kwarto si Gab. naabutan ko sya doon nagbibihis. that time naka brief lang sya at walang damit. ang ganda ng abs ni Gab he looks so perfect then maya maya pa nagising ako sa katotohanan when he started speaking:
Gab: hey pandak, like what you see?
at ayun na naman yung ngiting aso nya. narealize ko naka tulala pala ako sa kanya with my mouth open.
Akhi: What? no way!
Gab: Hahaha you're drooling dude!
tumawa sya and then nag flex sa harapan ko teasing me.
f*** now he's so annoying!
Akhi: hoy tigilan mo ko. naka handa na ang pagkain. kumain kna.
Gab: oooohhh.. you can't stand this, can you? hahaha
Akhi: Uurrrgghhh!!! shut up! Magutom ka jan!
then I slammed the door.
Akhi: that p***k he's such a tease!
nasa hapag na kaming lahat then finally the prince came out of the room and decided to eat. buti nalang hindi ako masyadong badtrip sa kanya para hindi sya pagtirhan ng food.
Rocel: Kala namin di kana lalabas eh.
Gab: hmmmm bango ah? eto ba luto ni Akhi?
Gideon: go ahead tikman mo na.
Gab took a seat and then tinikman ang luto kong sinigang.
Gab: *thinks* (damn! this tastes like my mother's cooking. It's delicious!)
Biglang tahimik na kumakain si Gab.
when he was about to finish, bakas sa mukha nya na bitin pa sya at syempre napansin din ito ni Rocel.
he was just looking at his bowl for a second then I said
Akhi: Gab kung gusto mo pa, heto sa'yo na to.
I offered him my bowl na may kalahati pang laman
Gab: no thanks.
then tumayo si Rocel lumapit sakin, kinuha yung bowl ko at inilagay sa harap ni Gab ng padabog at isang kamay nakapamewang.
Rocel: Hoy Gab wag ka magpanggap jan at tanggapin mo to! Alam kong nagustuhan mo, kase masarap ang luto ni Akhi. Wag ka ngang maarte jan! nakakairita.
then she looked at me and winked
Gideon and Harold was holding back their laughter that it's obvious.
walang nagawa ang aming prinsipe kung di sundin ang reyna ng bahay si Rocel *evil laugh*
Night has come, we were in the bedroom, nakikinig ng music si Gab and ako naman I'm about to go to sleep na. 30 minutes have passed nakapikit ako pero di parin tulog.
Gab: hui, pandak. gising ka pa?
Akhi: mmmm bakit? (semi whisper voice)
Gab: sa totoo lang ang sarap ng luto mo. salamat. you'd probably think I'm exaggerating but it made me feel like I was home.
Akhi:......
I didn't answer na kase natuwa ako sa sinabi nya and I don't wanna ruin the mood kase baka asarin nanaman nya ako. deep down medyo kinilig ako. I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
