CHAPTER 8

GD's POV

AT YURI'S HOUSE

"Here, take this. . . Baka kasya sa'yo" Offer nya ng damit nya

Kinuha ko ang offer nyang damit at tinignan ito ng matagal, mukhang bago pa kasi at ang kapal ng cotton. Galante na nga talaga itong si Yuri.

"Salamat dito bae ah. . . Utang na loob ko to sa'yo" Sambit ko

"Nako wala 'yon, para sa'n pa't magkaibigan tayo diba"

"Sige bae bihis na muna ako, by the way sa'n pala dito yung restroom nyo?"

"The door after you reach the kitchen, the one with black door"

Tumango ako at lumabas na ng kwarto. Dahan dahan akong bumaba ng hagdan habang pinagmamasdan ang mala palasyong bahay nina Yuri. At take note, may color coding ang pintuan nila. May stripes ang kada pintuan para alam nila kung para saan iyon. Nadaanan ko ang kitchen nila at nakakita ako ng mga maid na nagluluto ng hapunan nila

"Wow. . . Ang laki ng kitchen nila, ganto lang ata kalaki bahay namin eh" Bulong ko sa sarili ko

Nang narating ko ang black na pintuan, agad akong pumasok at nagbihis. Sinuot ko ang bigay ni Yuri na black T-shirt and jorts. Buti na lang nadala ko pala sa mumunti kong sling bag ang daisy bonet na binigay sa'kin ni bal. Pagkatapos kong magbihis, lumabas na'ko ng restroom at bumalik sa kwarto ni Yuri.

ALEZANDER SZENRI'S POV

When GD went to the restroom to change his clothes, I sit down on my bed and accidentally naupuan ko ang phone ni GD. Of course I felt jealousy when I saw his wallpaper, it was Christopher and him. I felt a little disappointment on myself because I didn't told him my true feelings, siguro hindi sila ni Tobi ngayon. . . Baka sa akin sya ngayon if sinabi ko ang katotohanan. The thoughts of him being with someone else caused silence in my room, that's why I just waited for him to come back. . . To make my room hype again. Pagbalik ni GD, his daisy bonet caught my eyes. Akala ko kasi nakalimutan nya na'ko after all these years, hindi pa pala. . . I knew that he always treasure our memories, and it's a sign that I'm always be on his heart because of that bonet

"You look great" Tanging nasabi ko nung nakita ko sya

"Thank you talaga dito sa damit bae ah. . .wag ka mag alala, kapag bumalik na'ko sa bahay isasauli ko agad to sayo ng walang bahid ng kasamaan HAHAHA" Aniya

"Gusto mo sayo na lang yan, bagay naman sayo eh"

"Huy ano ka? Nakakahiya wag na, isasauli kona lang sayo to"

"Anong nakakahiya? Wala ka namang hiya remember? And I wasn't asking you, I'm telling you na sayo na yan"

"Nakakahiya talaga pero maraming salamat dito bae ah"

I felt the happiness in GD's eyes when I said that, it even made him more cute and adorable. Hindi matanggal sa mga mata ko ang suot nyang bonet kaya I also praised him by wearing my creation

"Na sayo parin pala yang bonet na yan?" Pagbukas ko ng topic

"Yeah, favorite ko nga to eh. . . " Sagot nya

My heart melts of love when he said that, among all of his headwear yun talaga ang paborito nya. Yun kasi yung pinaka una kong ginawang bonet by my bare hands and yes, I only made it for him

"Bigay kasi to ni Tobi nung first monthsary namin kaya sa lahat ng sinusuot ko, ito yung pinaka special para sakin"

Big lang huminto ang mundo ko nang sinabi nya iyon. I feel something's off, Hindi nya ba alam na sa'kin galing yun?

"Uhm bae, nung. . . binigay ba sa'yo ni Tobi yan may sinabi ba sya kung san nya yan binili?" Tanong ko

"Wala naman syang sinabi, and hindi naman na importante kung san nya binili yun eh. Ang mahalaga nag effort sya at galing sakanya" Sagot nya

I feel betrayed. He never know that it was originally from me. How could you do this to me Tobi? How?

*FLASHBACK*

3 years ago

Bago ako pumunta ng states, Christopher and I had met up on a cafe.

There was Tobi, standing in front of the cafe and I'm at the other side of the road leaving off the car and we enter

"Tobi!"

"Zander"

Pumasok kami ng cafe at nag order ng tig isang drinks para saaming dalawa

"So, why did you invite me here?" Tanong ni Tobi

"Bro, may isa sana akong favor sa'yo. . ." Sagot ko

"Yeah sure, what's that?"

I show him a small box with a thing inside

"Bonet?"

"Yes bro"

"For whom?"

"Favor lang bro pwede bang pakibigay yan kay GD"

He closed the box and put it beside his seat

"Sure bro, para sa'yo. . . Pero matanong ko lang, why bonet?"

"Sanay kasi sya magsuot ng bonet, simula pa nung freshmen year namin so I made him this bonet with daisy on it kasi alam kong favorite flower nya rin ang daisy" Paliwanag ko

"Ahh. . . "

Tobi was silent for a minute and just watching the gift I gave for GD, then he look up to me again and spoke with a smile

"Sure bro, makakarating to kay GD" he gladly uttered

"Thank you bro. . . maaasahan ka talaga" We both stand up from our seats and hug each others so tight

Parang nagsisisi tuloy ako na binigay ko ang tiwala ko kay Tobi nung binigay ko ang regalo kong bonet na para lang kay GD

*BACK TO REALITY*

*snap, snap*

"Bae, okay ka lang?" GD uttered while snapping his finger

Bumalik ako sa ulirat ko nung gawin 'yun ni GD and I shake my head

"Ahh wala bae, may iniisip lang"

"Ahh okay, sabi mo eh"

The room was filled with silence again. . . Napatingin na lang kami pareho ni GD nung kinatok na kami ng isa sa mga maid namin

"Señorito, nakahanda na po ang hapunan nyo pinapababa na po kayo ni señora Margarette" Sabi ni yaya

I offered my hand to GD again para sabay na kaming bumaba at kumain

"Come?"

"Tara"

GD held my hand at tumayo sya mula sa kama. Inantay kaming makalabas ni yaya nang tignan nya ako sa mata na para bang may pagdududa. I stopped for a second and she whispered to my ears

"Señorito, is he your boyfriend?" Bulong nya

"No, so shut your mouth and don't be a chismosa yaya" Hinawakan ko ulit ang kamay ni GD at bumaba na kami ng hagdan para pumunta sa dining table habang si yaya naman ay pinipigilan ang tawa.

"Oh here's my beloved son. . . Come here Szenri and have a dinner. You too little boy" Pagtawag ni mommy

Umupo na kami ni GD and the maid prepared our plate. Habang kumakain kami, hindi ko mapigilan ang mapatingin kay GD. I noticed the maid that called us earlier is also looking at us so I glared at her and she looks like holding her laughter. I only rolled my eyes on her and noticed mommy is glancing at me so I look back at my food and focused on eating. Daddy came home from work and went directly at the dining table to eat

"Hi honey, hi son, I'm home" Dad uttered as he kissed my mom on the cheek

"Hi dad"

"Oh. . . You have a visitor Szenri?"

"Ahh yes dad, he's GD. . . my friend"

"Hi there GD, is the food okay?"

"Ah yes po sir, masarap nga po eh"

"Good thing" Sabi ni daddy sabay kuha ng kanyang pagkain

Mommy breaks her silence and start talking to GD

"So GD right? Why did you ran away from your home?" Mommy asked

"Uhm mag papahangin lang po, medyo nagkasagutan po kasi kami ng nanay ko eh"

"You know it's wrong talking back to your parents. . . You should've listened to them kasi alam nila kung anong nararapat para sayo"

"Uhm. . . hindi po nila ako naiintindihan eh, ni magawang sumuporta po hindi din po"

"Poor child. . .you know if I want to, I will adopt you right away"

I was shocked when mommy said that. Mommy naman, kapag magkapatid na kami ni GD mas malabo na ang gusto kong mangyari T_T. . . Imagine kapatid ko na yung minsang minahal ko higit pa sa sarili ko, wag naman sana~

Nabulunan ako nang marinig si mama at dali daling kinuha ni GD ang tubig para makainom ako

"What happened son? Yaya, get a tissue for Szenri please" Tugon ni mama na agad namang sinunod ng yaya ko

"No no, I'm okay"

"Sigurado ka bae?" Pag-aalala ni GD

"Yeah"

When I finished wiping my mouth, mommy starts talking again

"You know GD, it's okay kung dito ka muna temporarily para naman may nakakausap si Szenri. . . Yaya, prepare the guest room for GD please" Sabi ni mommy

"Nako nakakahiya po ma'am pero thank you very much po" Sabi ni GD

"Just call me tita, tutal hindi ka naman na bago saamin. . . Palagi ka kasing kinukwento ng anak ko eh" Mommy said while chuckled a bit

"Hmm? Ikaw bae ah kinukwento mo pala ako sa mommy mo ba't di mo naman ako ininform" He said while nudging me

I have done nothing but to laugh along with them and saw the happiness on GD's eyes.
