Napatingin ako sa likod ko. Ah, the robot, yet again with his criticism. Ano nanaman ba ang problema ng lalaking to ngayon? Pangit ba gising nya? Or baka naman wala nakakain ng kanyang gusto? Akala ko pa naman ay maayos na sya these past few days. Mali ata ak. Or was it one of his mood swings again? Whatever. I sighed, before retorting sassily, "Oh great. At ano pala ang magandang kulay na gusto niyo, mahal na prinsepe?""Blue." Eion the robot shrugged. “At bakit ka andito? You were sick yesterday.”“Gumaling naman ako ngayong araw. And you're an expert at picking colors, huh?" I asked, medyo naiinis na sa kanya.He scoffed, "I was just saying what I thought was best...""Then go ahead and tell it to Tita Maggie. My choice of color is just an opinion. You're making it a big deal." I scowled at him, "Oh wait, lahat ng bagay ay pinapalaki mo talaga.""Whatever," umiling nalang sya at tumingin kung san si Tita Maggie. “Alam mo, gusto ko panamna sanang pasalamatan ka dahil sa pagtulo

"Guys, nakita nyo ba si Eion?" Leroy said after a few days barging in on the door with a troubled look, and startling me, Hannah, and Luke as we chill at the balcony. Hapon na at andito nanaman ako ulit sa bahay ni Tita Maggie, dahil kay Hannah lagi akong iniinvite. Good thing that Tita Maggie summoned us to check out the church and have the rehearsals."Oh, didn't know you two were here," said Dax, appearing behind Leroy. “Hi guys.” "What? Lumayas nanaman ba yung mokong na yun?" Hannah asked. I looked at her. Layas nanaman? Why are they looking for the robot that much? At bakit parang lagi tong nangyayari at ganyan ang kanilang reaksyon? "Does this normally happen?" I asked them."Yes," answered Leroy, "But now, we were looking for him since we're supposed to go to church in a while and we haven't really seen him around...hindi ko sya makita kahit saan kanina pa.” Leroy asked."Doesn't he always stick to you two? You're supposed to be his friend, right? Dapat alam nyo kung saan sya

I nodded, "Yup."Nakapag-isip isip muna sya before he firmly answered, "Then no.” Really? I have to push him further than, mamaya ay mapapa-oo ko rin to sya. “Come on, don't be so hard to get. Just say yes.” Sabi ko pa, with matching ngiti sa kanya."No, Snow. Hindi ako papayag jan. O sa kahit ano pa mang plano mo sa akin.” He said. Napasinghap pa ako, hindi pa rin tumutigil, "Ay sus, nahihiya ka pang umoo.”"Hindi nga,. I said no, no means no.” Fine. since ayaw nya talaga, nakakapagod rin pala tong pilitin. Huminga ako ng malalim, I yelled at him," Just say yes already!"Hindi man lang lumagpas ang isang minuto at knagat nya ang kanyang labi, maraang tumingin sakin, "Okay," he finally said, agreeing to my offer helplessly like he had no other choice. “There, I agreed. Masaya kana? Are you going to stop now?” Tanong nya pa. Perfect. "So, now that we are 'practically friends'", I quote. "Maybe you could tell me the reason wh

"Snow, tulong!" Emma called me in the morning, as it was Saturday and we are off from work."Ha? Ano yun?" Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I yawned. I really hate people calling me by the morning. Ang aga pa naman! "I have...a DATE!" Sigaw nya pa sa akin galing sa phone. I sat up straight, hitting my head on the headboard but that's not what I was worried about."A what?" I asked, "Can you repeat that again?""A date, Snow! And I'm having problems! Come over here ASAP! I need you! Hindi ko alam! I don't know what to dress and what makeup and-""Whoa there, Emma. Do you think I'm the best person to ask for that? Sino ba yang kadate mo? Let me know who the guy is before going-""It's Dax." She cut me off.Wait, narinig ko ba sya ng maayos? "Ha? Sino?"“Si Dax!”I scoffed. "Geez, I know that, but why?" The last time I checked, Emma, diba ayaw mo sa kanya? Hate mo sya?” Napatahimik sya.” Taking a deep breath, I said, "Expla

He was still breathing heavily. Looking at him up close, I watched his chest rise up and down before pushing him away from me. Inirapan ko sya, standing up and dusting off any dirt on my clothes. He looked at me curiously, then looked around. "Tapos na ba ang movie?""Yes," I answered, diverting my gaze to him. "Kanina pa kita ginigising. Ang sarap ng tulog mo ata.""Oh." He said in realization. He brushed his pants and stood up, "Let's go then."“Why did you even grab me?” I said, referring to what he just did. “Nahulog tuloy ako, ang sakit sa likod nun.” “Sorry, that was just a reflex.” He said. Well, I have to believe him for that I guess. Or I would think that he was just teasing me. Nevermind that, nodding at him, he started to walk towards the exit at sinundan ko nalang sya.We finally left the cinema and got in the parking lot, as Dax told me where they would wait earlier."Oh finally, andyan na kayo. Kain tayo," pag imbita p
