Chapter 6: Jogging
ATHEENA'S POV
Late na akong nagising dahil kahapon, late na rin akong nakauwi.
Buti na lang wala pa sina mom at dad that time. But eto namang si kuya, panay ang sermon sa akin na akala mo, hindi rin sya nauwi ng gabi na. Eh mas matindi pa nga siya sa akin eh, hindi sya uuwi hanggat hindi pinagsasabihan.
Tch! Palibhasa babaero.
Araw ng sabado ngayon at wala kaming pasok. Buti na lang talaga kase gusto kong gumala at mag travel kahit saan hehe.
*~kringgg~kringgg~kringgg~*
Nasusura kong pinatay ang alarm clock ko at napatingin sa orasan.
"Argh! Ang aga pa eh! 5:35 in the morning pa lang oh!" I yawned.
Kahit tinatamad pa, bumangon ako at nag cr.
Pagkatapos kong maghilamos at mag tooth brush. I wear a sports bra and leggings partner with my sketchers shoes.
Bumaba ako at kumain ng light breakfast. Mamaya na ako kakain ng heavy breakfast dahil napag desisyunan kong mag work out muna. It's like my every weekends hobby.
Pagbaba ko, tanging si manang pa lang ang gising at naghahanda ng umagahan.
"Good morning manang!" I energetically greet her while slightly hopping.
"Magandang umaga rin Theena!" Nakangiti niyang bati habang naghahanda ng umagahan.
"Mas maganda pa ako sa umaga manang." I joked and she laughed.
"By the way, asaan po sina mom at dad? Umuwi po ba sila?" Tanong ko nang mapansing wala sila dito sa bahay.
Palagi naman kasi silang nauunang gumising kaysa sa amin ni kuya at imposible namang tulog pa sila.
And speaking of my womanizer brother, oh don't ask. Palaging tulog mantika yung isang yun.
"Ah, hindi sila umuwi kagabi eh, nagka emergency daw sa ospital, Madami rin daw pasyente. Yun ang sabi sa akin ni Lucas. Nag text daw sa kanya sina ma'am at sir." Aniya at napatango tango na lang ako habang umiinom ng gatas.
My mom and dad are both doctors, so that's why they're so busy. May times nga na hindi na sila nauwi dahil sa maraming pasyente.
Iniisip ko rin na, mas marami silang time para sa mga pasyente nila kaysa sa amin na anak nila. But I understand, they are patients and they need to be cured. In other words, they need mom and dad. But hey, they even still manage their time for us even though they're tried from their works. And that is so much enough for me.
After I finish drinking my milk, I walked towards the gate and decided to have a 30mins jogging around our village.
Malaki naman ang village namin kaya sulit na rin ang pagtakbo.
HABANG nasa kalagitnaan ng pagtakbo, may nahagip ang mga mata ko na isang pamilyar lalake at babae na tumatakbo rin.
Wait, is that....Jaspher?! and the.... girl......oh! sya yung girl na hinalikan sa cheeks ni Jaspher sa canteen! I remember her! Psh! How can I forget?they're flirting in public.
Well, everybody does that but not me. Yuck! So yuck! Hehe bitter much lang!
Is this another coincidence? Tanong ko sa sarili ko at binagalan ko ang pagtakbo para hindi nila ako makita.
I put my airpods on and just listen to the songs of BTS.
And when the 'euphoria' song filled my ears, I suddenly remembered something, like I also played this song yesterday.
And then it hit me.
Napatigil ako sa pagtakbo at napaisip. And then I remembered everything it started at the mall up to his car.
Hinatid ako ni Jaspher pauwi kahapon! But I thought it was only a freaking dream! Damn it! Paano ko yon nakalimutan?! And that is why I felt that I just played that 'euphoria' song yesterday because he sang the chorus part.
Napasabunot na lamang ako sa buhok ko nang dahil sa kainisan.
Nang tingnan ko si Jaspher at yung babae, hmm I wonder kung maganda ba pangalan niya sa maganda niyang mukha.
But I doubt that because I'm more prettier than her. Hehe.
"Atheena?"
Napalingon ako sa kung sino man yung tumawag sa akin. At ganon na lamang ang gulat ko dahil ang nagsalita ay walang iba kundi si.......
"J-Jaspher" sambit ko.
Mukang nagulat rin siya na nandito ako.
Malamang nandito bahay namin eh!
Dapat sya ang tanungin ko eh. *tango tango*
"What are you doing here?" Inunahan ko na siya sa pagtanong dahil alam ko na na yun din ang itatanong niya.
Nilingon niya yung babae at tumingin ulit sa akin. "We're just go for a jog until I saw you."
Tumango tango na lang ako. "Ahh, okay then, see you around!" I my wave hand at them to look like that I'm not being rude.
Kahit na naiilang ako kay Jaspher gawa kahapon. Tumakbo na ako papalayo sa kanila para hindi na sya magtanong pa.
PAGKARATING ko sa bahay, dumiretso ako sa kusina para uminom at tubig at laking gulat ko, na makita si kuya na nag aaral magluto.
He's watching tutorials on YouTube while trying to cook an....
itlog?!!
Ngumisi ako nang may pilyang pumasok sa isip ko.
*evil grin*
I tiptoed towards to him, making sure that I didn't make any sound and.....
"Ay itlog nahulog!"
"Ay puta-"
Tawang tawa ako nang napaigtad siya sa gulat ko.
"What the f*ck! Theena! Why'd you do that for? Huh?!" He shouted at me while I was laughing so hard.
"Ano na namang pumasok sa kukote mo at nag aaral kang mag luto huh kuya?" Nakapameywang kong tanong.
"That's none of your f*cking business!" At bumaling ulit sa niluluto "F*ck!" Mura niya sabay turo sa niluluto at tumingin sa akin.
"Look at what you've done! Nasunog na yung itlog!"
Uh-oh galit na talaga sya.
"Hehe sorry kuya! It's just, I've never seen you trying to cook ever since you've born." Pigil ang tawa na sabi ko.
"Well people change Theena and I think I'm one of them."
Tch!
Napasinghal na lang ako sa kayabangan niya. At mukang nawala wala na galit nya hehe.
"Okay change topic, para kanino ba yan ha? Para ba sakin yan kase sinabi ni manang na hindi pa ako nag bbreakfast?" I smiled ear to ear while asking.
"Psh! Hell no! This is not for you! Asa ka!"
Napairap ako. "Ugh! Ang sweet mo talaga kuya! Napaka sweet mo!" I sarcastically said to him. "By the way, ilang itlog na ba naluto mo?"
"Wala pa."
I'm shock. "Huh? Wala pa? E parang kanina ka pa nandito ah, tignan mo nga pawis mo at ang baho muna!"
"At least gwapo pa rin." Taas-nuo niyang sabi.
"But seriously kuya, ilan na ba ang nasunog mong itlog?"
Nakita ko siyang napalunok. "U-Uhh, ika-siyam na itong niluluto ko." Nakatungo niyang tugon.
This time, I was totally shock!
"What the hell kuya?! Ang dami mong nasayang!! Do you how much an egg costs? It's freakishly expensive!" Bulyaw ko sa kanya.
Sana nag patulong na lang siya kay manang o sa ibang katulong dito sa bahay!
Hindi siya sumagot at nakatungo lang nang dahil ata sa hiya.
"Bakit hindi ka humingi ng tulong? O kaya tinawag mo si manang para maturuan ka ng maayos? O kaya naman hinintay mo na lang akong makabali-"
"I don't want to bother you guys on what you've been doing besides, this is what I want. Want to know how to cook for the girl that I courting."
Ohh so that's why he's determined on how to cook.
"Ohh okay I understand, but who is this girl?" I curiously asked.
He looked at me now. "It's for me to know and for you to find out." He smirked.
I murmured while I walking towards to my room.
"May 'it's for me to know and for you to find out' pa syang nalalaman. Tsk. Andaming ka ek-ekan. Pag yan talaga nalaman ko kung sino, humanda ka sa tukso ko kuya. Wahahahaha!
PAGKAAKYAT ko, I took a bath and after that, I decide to have a video call to Bett and Cil.
Namiss ko yung dalawang bruhang yon! Waaaa dami ko pa naman ikekwento!
"Hi bitchesss!!" I wave at them at the screen of my laptop.
[Hello to you too Dyosang bato!] Si Bett.
[Hi Ath! Hi Bett! Wazzup?!] Si Cil.
"Girls! May ichichika ako sa inyo about sa nangyari kahapon sa amin ni Jaspher!" I excitedly said.
And they were both shock at what I said.
[Hala! Anong ginawa nyo ha?! Did you two just...argh! Alam mo na yun!] Nagtataka kong tinignan si Cil sa sinabi niya.
[Did he use condom?] Bett lips rose up and turns into a devilishly smile.
[Spill it up girl!] Cil said. Encouraging me to tell them about what happened between me and Jaspher.
The heck?! Iba talaga ang iniisip nila ah!
And that's it, I told them every detail about what happened yesterday between me and Jaspher.
As expected, they were both shock and giggled na parang kinikilig.
Psh!
"Guys let's go for a road trip!" Excited kong akit sa kanila. And they all agreed.
[Count me in!]
[Oh sure! Where?]
Bett and Cil said.
"Sa Subic, Zambales."
[What?! Ang layo!]
"Tch! Walang thrill pag malapit lang!"
I told them like I'm not the one who's taking the wheel.
Cil sighed. [Okay, fine. I'm in!]
"Great!"
"Anong oras pala, Ath?" Tanong ni Bett.
Napatingin ako sa relo ko.
"Hmm, mga around 1am siguro para marami tayong time together!"
[Great idea!] They both exclaimed.
"Nice! See y'all guys later!"
