HATE THAT I LOVE YOU Ch 20

"Hello, Mommy!"

"Hi, Tita!"

"Marami ata kayong kasama ni Pretchie ngayon," magiliw na sabi ni Tita Lyn. "Tamang tama at nagbake ako ng cake at cookies."

"Wow! Thank you po, Tita."

"Aba! Mabait ata tayo ngayon, Eslove!" We all laughed.

"My, kukunin ko po yung mga photo albums, ah."

"Baka ayusin ninyo lang."

We nodded.

"Samahan na kita," DD said.

"So, hanggang dito kailangang mag-moment kayo," pambubuska ni Yong. Buddy made a "shh!" action.

"Nagkabalikan na ba ang anak ko at si Daniel?"

"Hindi po namin alam." Shey answered the query. "Ahm, tita, boto po ba kayo kay DD?"

"Stop it, Shey!" namumulang saway naman ni DD.

"Oo nga naman. Namumula na si DD, oh!"

"Must be the heat," pang-aasar naman ni Blet.

"Kayo talagang mga bata kayo," Tita Lyn shooked his head. "Siya, kukunin ko muna ang meryenda ninyo."

"Thank you po."

“Asus! Akala mo, kababait ng mga ire!” Then, bumaling si Buddy kay DD. “Stay here. Ako na ang bahalang kumuha ng mga photo albums.”

“Walang moment, walang Nescafe!”

“So, anong ibig sabihin nun, Kyra?”

“Wala lang. Naisip ko lang.”

“Hindi mo n asana isinatinig.”

“Naks! Tagalog na tagalong ah! Pa-burger ka naman!”

“Burger! Burger! Burger!”


“Eto pala si Kuya Kean nung highschool,” comment ni Shey sa isang litrato. Agad namang nagsisuguran sina Papa Bear, Eslove at Yong sa tabi nito upang masipat ang larawan.

“Rock n roll na rock n roll nap ala siya dati pa,” komento naman ni Papa Bear.

“Nakahiwalay pala ang mga class pictures,” I said when I opened one photo album. Class picture namin ang andun nung first year kami.

“You really looked like you will kill someone in your pose, MM,” comment ni DD. Hinampas tuloy ito ni Buddy.

“Well, cousin MM, it’s true,” ayon naman ni Lyan. Ang pose naman kasi ni Buddy nun ay tila maton ang dating.

“And you’re really thin back then,” comment pa ni DD. “You’re appetite doesn’t really show. Ang takaw-takaw mo pa naman noon.”

“Bakit? Close na ba tayo nun, impakto?” mataray na sabi ni Buddy.

“Well, if you must know, MM, this dude was eyeing on you way back then,” pag-re-reveal naman ni Blet.

“Akalain mo ‘yun! Torpe ka pala, Daniel!”

“Obvious ba? Ganyan kasi pag true love.”

“Shut up guys!”

“So, kailangan sabay kayo ng pagkakasabi ng ‘shut up!’”

“At parehong namumula.”

“Duh?! Sinong namumula?” ani MM na grabe ang pagka-hyper. “Ang kagandahan ko? Excuse me!”

“It’s your fault, Blet!”

“Maya Maldita, may dalaw ka!” Nagulat kami nang biglang umeksena si kuya Kean. Napakunot tuloy ang noo nito. “Bakit parang shocked na shocked kayo? At bakit namumula ang kapatid ko at si Daniel.”

“I-I’m not blushing, kuya Kean,” biglang sabi ni Buddy. “Puntahan ko lang ang dalaw ko.”

Then umalis si Buddy sa sala. Si kuya Kean naman ay naupo katabi nina Yong.

“What’s with the pictures nga pala?”

“Ahm, wala lang kuya Kean,” I immediately said. Alangan namang sabihin naming naghahanap kami ng evidence to prove our theory about him and ma’am Alex.

“Jenny, Jack-Jack! Buti at napadalaw kayo!” We heard Buddy’s voice.

“Well, someone here misses you,” narinig nilang sabi ni Jenny.

“Guilty as charged!” narinig nilang sabi ni Jack. We gasped. He’s straight forward.

“What the – ” tila gulat na gulat si DD.

“Here comes the rival,” Blet lazily chanted.

“What rival?” clueless na tanong ni Lyan. “Is that by any chance – ”

“Hi!” That was Jack. Apparently Buddy and the siblings have come to the sala.

“Hi, Jenny!” Biglang nagpa-cute si Lyan.

“Mukhang matindi ‘yan, DD. Ingat, pare!”

“Shut up, Yong!”
