Chapter Four

                      Avyanna Elyse

Saturday! And finally walang schedule sa school! I happily opened the windows at my room to let the air enter my Castle.

“Finally, I can go shopping na,” I said while putting some cream into my face.

“Oi, oi, oi, sorry to burst your bubble but shopping plan is now long gone, we’re having our laundry day, so take out your dirty clothes out while shutting your mouth,” Rigel suddenly pooft in while holding a basket full of clothes and walked out.

Laundry? Sounds simple, okay ill cross out my shopping day today.

I immediately did what Rigel said and took my dirty clothes, including my school uniforms and undies to. I really don’tkniw how to do the laundry but I’ll try, for Rigel, Malay mo, dahil pala sa laundry nahulog na ang loob ni Rigel.

**

After I took them in the basket I immediately walked backyard, seeing Rigel wash his clothes with bare hands?!

“Walang Washing machine? Like ilalagay mo lang pagka labas dry na?” I asked.

“Ano? Washing machine? Wala, kamayin mo, Yan sabon, ang kay tanda tanda mo na umaasa ka parin sa washing machine? Damn,” I heard him said that now making myself cry inside.

I don’t know how to do the laundry!! Kahit panty ko di ko na try Ilaba!

“Oi, sige na, habang hindi pa masyadong mainit,” he said again making my fave numb.

“I gotta go, dad’s calling me,” I said making myself escape but Rigel was too smart.

“Really? Kahapon pinatawag ka sa tatay mo ngayon uli? T’ska bat siya di nag text sa’kin kung ganon?” he said while continues to wash his polo.

“I don’tkniw maybe it’s and emergency?” I said making the word emergency squeeze at the spot when I saw Rigel grinning.

“Hulaan ko,” he said now pointing at me.

“What?” 

“You don’t know how to do the laundry?” He asked, now standing up putting both of his hands into he waist.

Because he hitted the bingo, and i didn’t answered nor nodding.

Nakakahiya yon!

“Oi, sumagot ka,” he said spilling water, to make my pajamas wet.

“Fine! fine! I didn’t had the chance to wash it! Because parati yong maids ko ang nag lalaba! Now you can laugh all you want! Fine! I admit it!” I said, now putting my grumpy face now sitting on a huge rock. 

And that made him laugh.

“Seryoso! Nag huhula lang ako pero tama! Alright then, for the record I didn't knew that you we're that pampered” he said while still laughing, sa sobrang tawa niya ata ay napa luha siya.

“I’ m going in,” I said and was about to go inside when he stopped me.

“No, come here, I’ll teach you,” I said, gesturing his eyes to sit besides me.

**

“Like this, syempre iulunod mo muna sa tubig na may sabon, eto yan, ganto, tignan m ng maigi,” he sid washing my uniform blouse, I felt shy watching him dong my laundry, sinosout ko yon tapos sya nag lalaba.

**

When I finally got the hang of it, I washed my dirty clothes while Rigel’s doing hes.

It was quite when he suddenly spalshed me with water, and laughed.

I was schocked at first but I splashed him with water also making his clothes wet.

“Lumalaban ka na pala ah,” he said standing up and turning on the water while holding  hose.

“WAG, OY!!” I shouted and started running.

"

YAHH!! HAHAHHAA!!"sigaw ko nang nabasa nako.

I took a big cup ang filled it with water. But he was fast and springkled me with water making me wet.

And it was fun, I missed doing this with him, With my old Kuya Rigel whose currently my husband.

**

“Oi, Avyanna,” gising na, anong oras na. I woke up with Rigel's voice shouting from outside my room, his daily routine to me.

“Yeah, yeah naka tayo nako,” I shouted back.

I quickly took a bath and ate fast, baka ma late ako.

**

“Oy! Avy!” Kit shouted when he saw me walking the hallway, while waving.

I just waved back running close to him.

“Naks, blooming natin ngayon Avy ah!” he said messing my hair a bit.

“Blooming mo yong bato,” I said while fixing my hair.

“Sus, sungit nito, anong nangyari sayo,” he asked poking his fingers to my cheeks.

“Tumigil ka, dyan masakit na ah,” I said punching his shoulders.

“Oh, wala na, yan usap na tayo ng maayos, nong nangyari sayo? Umiiba na mukha mo oh,” he asked again.

I gestured him to get closer. And he did. I slowly closen my mouth to hes ears.

“Biglang sumakit tyan ko,”I whispered.

“Bakit?!” he hissed. Now looking worried.

“I don’t know,” I said closing my eyes, sobrang sakit na kasi.

“Ampocha, tara,” He said, pulling my hand.

Luckily the school guard was no whee to be found and quickly ran outside and hoped on to Kits car.

“San tayo?” I asked holing my stomach, ang sakit na talaga.

“Sa bahay, natural,” he said, habang seryosong nag mamaneho.

“Sige, sge bilisan mo,” I said.

Matapos naming dumating kila Kit agad na kaming pumasok sa   nila ng biglang may nakita akong lalakeng naka talikod, familiar siya masyado.

Rigel ba yan?! 

After school go home straight , don’t you ever skip, wag mag lalakad kung saan baka makita ka ng tatay mo na di kita binabantayan, kung may lakad ka text me, if ever I caught you skipping school or going somewhere without my permission, you’re dead to me.

Agad kong naalala ang mga sinabi sakin ni Rigel last time.

Patay!

“Oh, si Rigel oh! Crush mo si kuya dati diba? Yiee kamusta na kaya sya? Tawagin ko ah,” he said and quickly covered his mouth. 

“Wag!” i hissed.

“Gago, bakit? Di ka naman papatayin n'yan kung makikita ka,” he said.

I lightly  punched him.

“ Anong pinunta natin dito?” I asked with big eyes.

“Hah? ano, ay! Pocha! Tara tara!” he said slapping his forehead.

**

After drinking meds I immediately sat besides him, while he’s playing Call of duty.

“Woy, balik na tayo sa school,” I said while pulling his collar shirt.

“Babalik? Late na late na tayo babalik? Sus, bukas na, laro nalang tayo, t’skang text ako sa lay ma’am na absent tayo dalawa, kamusta na lagay mo d’yan? Masakit pa ba?” he asked while still playing.

“Oo, alam ko na ata anong nangyari sa’kin kanina, kumakayako ng mabilis tapos agad na’kong tumakbo papuntang school, ayon,”  I said.

“Oh? Ikaw? Nag mamadali papuntang school? U-utoin moko?”  he laughed.

“Edi wag, loko loko,” I threw my bag at him and lay down on his bed, We’ve been friends since childhood, walang kaso na yon sa’min.

*

While laying down on Kits bed, scrolling on my phone Kit suddenly jumped in the bed making my phone fly.

“Baliw ka ba Kit? Kunin mo yon!” I said pointing my phone.

“Cellphone ko?” He said while laughing.

“Isa,” I said and quickly made him took the phone as speed of light, alam niya na kung anong mangyayari pag nag bilang nako padalawa.

“Oh Yan, ay teka nga, may chika kang di sinasabi sa’kin,” 

“ Eh chika? Wala Naman ah? Tapos nag babaklaan ka na naman Kit? Humanap ka na ng babae oy! Baka matuloyan ka n’yan,” Sabi ko ko dito habang tumatawa, di ko alam kung bakit pero biglang nag iba ang ekspresyon ng mukha niya.

“Ayoko,” he said now slowly closing his eyes.

“Eh? Wag mong sabihin natuloyan ka nga! Bakla ka na?!” Sigaw ko making he’s eyebrows furrowed.

“Gago, ayoko nang mag hanap kasi simula pa lang nakita ko na siya,” he seriously said, at dahil don napatawa ako sa ka kornihan niya.

“Oh! Ikaw Yong may utang na chika sa’kin! Hindi ko! Sino Yan! Maganda ba? Ampochi ka Kit kit korni!” Sabi ko nito habang tumatawa, pero ang ekspresyon naman nito ay wala parin.

“Soju,” sagot nito.

“Soju?” I asked making him sigh.

“Soju, but Soj is silent,” he said making me quiet.

“Wag mong sabihi—,” agad naputol ang sasabihin ko nang tinakpan ni Kit  ang bibig ko.

“Alam ko, Alam ko dapat matagal ko na tong sinabi pero, eto na eh di ako makahanap ng magandang tim—,”  agad ko ring pinutol Ito at sumigaw.

“SOJU? TAPOS TAHIMIK SI SOJ? BAT NAMAN SIYA TATAHIMIK?!” I shouted making him stop, and laughed all the sudden.

“Ampoca, slow, nevermind that, d’yanka lang kukuha ako ng kakainin,” he said smiling, na biglang pinitik ang noo ko. 

** 

“Kit,” I called him while kumakain kami. 

“Yep?” sagot nito. 

“Peram pera,” I said directly, Alam ko naman na hindi to a-ayaw. 

“Pera? Oo, sige pero a-anhin mo? Yong sayo ba?” he said while throwing me his wallet. 

“Nawala ko, alangan naman at hanapin ko pa? Babayaran ko lang” I lied. Yan linya ko dati pag nawawalan ng pera, kaya Alam kong di na to mag tataka. 

“Sabagay, sige kumuha ka d’yan, wag mo na bayaran,” he said while eating. 

“Thankyouu Kit Kit!” I happily said and hugged him. 

“Kumakain ako oy!” he said while laughing. 

**

5k lang ang kinuha ko kay Kit, at ngayon nag sisisi nako kung bat di ko nalang ginawang 10 or 20, di Naman aangal yon. 

Habang naka linya sako sa counter para pick up  ang mga inorder ko sa online site nila kanina ay agad kong napansin na umuulan na pala sa labas. 

“Thankyou Ma’am Avy, “ the staff said and I quickly paid for it and took the taxi. 

** 

Garlic chicken, stew, steak Check! 

Sabi ko sa aking sarili habang inaayos ang pagkain sa lamesa. 

“ Feeling ko may kulang,” I said while looking at the food I ordered. 

“Hala gosh! Ang cake! Importante pa naman yon!” I said and quickly ran out to buy a cake. 

“That will be One thousand pesos ma’am,” the counter said and I immediately took my purse and took 1k. 

Agad akong napatigil nang makitang 1k nalang ang laman ng purse ko. 

Pano ako u-uwi nito?!  Bahala na nga! 

I immediately gave the 1k to the counter and took the cake. 

Buti nalang at balot na balot ang cake, Kung hindi I’ll surely be wasted. 

“What to do what to do?” I said to myself looking to the sky. 

Medyo malayo pa naman ang bahay, it’s alright but the problem is baka magka lagnat ako. 

“Agh, damnit!” I said and ran. 

** 

After having a long run I immediately turned off the lights when I heard Rigel’s car from outside and immediately hid under his bed. I’m sure na didiretso s’ya sa kwarto niya bago ang iba. At para I surprise ko siya. 

I was excited to see his reaction when I suddenly heard a giggle. 

“Oh, Rigel, I love you so much, you know that?” I heard a woman’s voice from outside Rigels room. 

My heart skipped a beat when I heard the door opened. 

What?! What is she doing here?! 

** 

It’s been 30 minutes since I hid under Rigels bed, while crying, while making myself quiet and not being noticed that someone’s hidding under them. 

And I’m sure what they’re doing right now. 

Sex. 

Moans and groans. 

Screams of pleasure. 

And it made me sick and sad. 

**

After minutes of being quiet I heard them both took a deep breath, panting. 

“So? Babe, where’s your little wife?” the girl said. And made my heart skipped a beat again, hearing that someone knows our marriage. 

“I don’t care, nor do you so shut up,” I heard Rigel said and made me more hurt. 

“Oh? Is that it? Okay,” she said and giggled. 

***

2 hours had been past, when the girl said her goodbyes to Rigel and now Rigels quiet on his bed while I’m still here crying. 

“What time is it?” Rigel said. 

“Damn that girl, where is she? It’s already 12 am,  ” he said again. 

Because of the anger I felt I quickly crawled up holding the cake. 

“That damn girl you’re looking for is here, and anong paki mo? Walang pakialamanan diba?” I said looking at him straightly, emotionless. 

“Oh, Happy 2nd monthsarry nalang,” I said  putting the cake to his side table and stormed outside. 

I quickly locked the door to my room and cried to my bed. 

I know, I know walang pakialamanan sa mga ginagawa namin, yon nga eh! Wala akong dapat ikagalit dahil may usapan  pero bakit ang sakit sakit? 

I let myself cry silently until I made myself tired and fell asleep. 

** 

I slowly opened my eyes, when I felt awful. 

Why does my body hurts? At bat may towel yong ulo ko? 

I immediately looked myself to the mirror when I saw my eyes being puffy. 

Grabi ba talaga yong iyak ko kagabi para mamaga ng ganto ka grabi? 

“Sino nag lagay nito?” I said while putting down the towel na nasa ulo ko. 

“Impossible naman kung si Kit,” I said when the door suddenly opened. 

“Hey,” morning agad na lumaki ang mga mata ko ng makita kung  sino ang pumasok sa room ko dala dala ng isang tray ng pagkain.
