"Opo tito wag ho kayong mag-alala pangako iingatan ko po si Kabi, di'ba bunny head" sabi ni Bryan sabay hawak sa kamay ko, napatango nalang ako sa mga sinasabi nang lalaking to, pano ba naman Kasi nung nakita kami ni tatay sasabihin ko Sana sa kanya na mag kaklase lang kami pero itong Bryan nato sabi ba naman na girlfriend niya ako.
"O siya at kumain lang nang kumain ayaw ko nang payat na son in law" sabi ni papa
"Papa naman!" Sabi ko dahil sa hiya tinawag ba namang son in law si Bryan.
"Sarap talaga magluto nang Bunny head ko" sabi ni Bryan habang nginunguya ang pagkain sabay ngiti Kay papa.
"Kabi anak, wag muna kayo mag madali ha e-enjoy niyo nalang muna ang pagmamahalan ninyong dalawa maliwanag ba? Bryan, Kristen?" Sabi ni papa na seryosong nakatingin sa aming dalawa ni Bryan. Naku papa Kung alam mo lang na di totoo lahat nang pinagsasabi nang Bryan nato I'm sure masusuntok mo Ito.
"Opo tito" tugon naman ni Bryan.
"Oh siya at magpapahinga na ako kayo na bahala dito ah Bryan, Kristen yung bilin ko"
"Opo pa"
"Opo tito"
Tumayo na si papa at hinalikan ako sa ulo bago umukyat papuntang kwarto niya.
"Ano bayang na isip mo ha, bat mo yon sinabi kay papa na girlfriend mo ako?"
"Ayaw mo pa nun may gwapo kang boyfriend?"
"Ilang ulit ko ba sasabihin na Hindi ka gwapo sa paningin ko?"
"You know what just keep quiet and go with the flow, you understand" sabi ba naman niya sa akin, ano yun ganon ganon nalang hindi pwede no! Dalagang pilipina to, tsaka gusto ko, bago ko sasagutin ang lalaki gusto ko paghirapan niya ang panliligaw sa akin at pag angkin nang puso ko, bago ko siya sasagutin...
Call me old fashion if you want, pero dun mo kasi malalaman na totoo nga talagang mahal ka nang isang tao kung pag hihirapan niya lahat para lang sagutin mo siya.
"So pano bayan Bunny head ma una na ako ikaw na maglinis dyan ah... Bye"
Nasa kwarto na ako ngayon nag iisip kong totoo ba lahat nang pangyayari kanina, kanina ko pa sinasampal ang mukha ko hanggang sa itigil ko na ito kasi namamanhid na ang mukha ko.
Hanggang sa di ko namalayan na nakatulog nalang ako matagal akong gigising bukas kasi sabado walang pasok.
"mauna na ako ha, paki sabi nalang kay Kristen na pumasok na ako sa trabaho" yun ang narinig ko habang natutulog ako imumulat ko na sana ang mata ko nang may kamay na humawak sa ulo ko at marahan itong henehele ang ulo ko hanggang sa makatulog ako muli.
Nagulat ako sa tunog kaya nahulog ako sa sahig " Gising Weirdong Pangit!!!" sabi ni Bryan na naka microphone at ang speaker nasa bandang ulohan ko.
"Ano ba!!! Ang aga-aga nambibwesit kana!"
"Pasalamat ka nga at ginising ka nang gwapo mong boyfriend" sabi Niya sa mikropono habang nakangiti, suot niya ngayon ay red polo shirt na naka tuck in sa slacks niyang itim.
"Pwede ba hindi kita nobyo okay!!"
"Tumayo kana diyan Pangit gutom na ako, magluto kana!!" Sabi niya sa mikropono
"Magluto ka kung gusto mo, may kamay ka gamitin mo yan para makaluto ka"
"Ah ayaw mo akong lutuan sige tatawagan ko nalang si tito at sasabihin na ayaw akong laglutuan nang pangit niyang anak"
"Ikaw na nga ang makikikain may gana kapang mag gagaganyan" bumangon na ako para magluto nang pagkain namin nang pangit na to..
"Maligo ka nga ang pangit mo!"
"Pwede umalis ka nga dito! trespassing ka!" Sabi ko sabay turo sa kanya
"At least gwapong trespasser" sabi niya sabay kindat sa akin "Ah by the way good morning bunny head"
"Ahhhh..bwesit ka talaga kahit kailan!!"
Dali dali na akong naligo at nagbihis bumaba na rin ako, naabutan ko pa siyang nag basa nang mga libro 'kala mo smart tskk' sabi ko sa isipan ko. Tumungo na ako sa kusina para tumingin Kung ano Ang pwede magluto dito bat ba Kasi andito tong bad boy nato mayaman Naman sila pwede Naman siyang mag take out or mag pa luto sa sarili nilang chief.
"Oh ayan Kain ka kana bad boy" sabi ko. Tosino lang at fried rice at fried egg ang niluto ko. Breakfast pa naman.
"Hindi ako bad boy no! Baka si Nathan ang bad hindi ako"
"Hoi, wag mo nga idamay dito si Nathan mas mabait siya kesa sa'yo noh! Tsaka hello!! Mas gwapo siya kesa sa'yo" sabi ko Naman
"Alam mo Kung ako sa'yo hindi ko mamahalin si Nathan"
"At Sino ka naman para pagsabihan ako, aber??!"
"Well ako lang naman ang gwapo mong boyfriend na pinagsasabihan ka" sabi niya at binaling na Ang atensyon sa pagkain niya.
Natahimik ako sa sinabi niya..oo nga pala no may pekeng boyfriend na pala ako ngayon. "Gusto mo bang subuan pa Kita?" Napabalik ako sa wisyo, hindi ko namalayan na naka tunganga lang pala ako. Kaya umupo na ako at sinimulan mag almusal.
"Hoi pangit, baka akalain mong totoong boyfriend mo na ako, nasabi ko Lang iyon kasi...."
"Kasi ano? Para mambwesit at magsinungaling ako sa tatay ko?" Sabi ko at sumubo nang pagkain ko.
"Kasi.... Wala trip ko Lang" he said while shrugging his shoulder. 'Bwesit talaga tong lalaking to kahit kailan'. Sabi ko sa isipan ko, Kung nakakamatay lang ang tingin matagal na guro tong inaamag.
"Ako na ang mag huhugas iwan mo nalang dyan pag tapos kana" nabilaukan ako sa sinabi niya na nagpataas nang kilay ko.
"Ikaw!! Marunong mag hugas nang Plato..butiki lang maniniwala sayo" di makapaniwalang sabi ko. At ininum ang tubig na inabot niya sa akin. Mabait lang guro tong lalaking to kapag nakakain?. Tapos na pala siya sa pagkain niya gutom talaga siguro tong lalaking to.
"You don't trust me?" Pag c-challange niya sa akin. Sabi niya at tumayo na para simulan ang paghuhugas nang pinggan kaya binilisan ko na ang pagkain ko at nang matapos na ako binigay ko na sa kanya ang Plato ko at umupo sa sala para hintayin siyang matapos.
Habang busy siya sa paghuhugas ay kumuha ako nang candy sa garapon at bumalik sa sala para manuod nang tv lumipas ang ilang saglit narinig kong tinawag niya ako kaya pumunta ako sa kusina para i-check Kung totoo bang magaling siyang manghugas nang plato.
"Wow malinis at hindi amoy sabon, marunong ka nga talagang mag hugas nang Plato" Puri ko sa kanya habang ina amoy at tinitingnan ang mga hinugas niya nakakamangha meron parin pala talagang mayayaman na marunong gumawa nang linising bahay. "At dahil diyan may award ako sa'yo..Tadann!!"
"Lollipop? Ano akala mo sa akin Bata?" Nagkasalubong ang kilay Niya nang makita Ang lollipop sa kamay ko na iibigay ko sa kanya.
"No choice ka Ito nalang natira sa candy na kinain ko kanina eh at tsaka bata ka pa naman talaga ah"
"20 years old na ako" sabi niya at kinuha sa kamay ko Ang lollipop tsaka binuksan Ito.
"Wee di nga?"
"Di halata no, gwapo ko kasi" sabi niya at kinain na ang lollipop na bigay ko sa kanya sabay kindat sa akin.
"Big yakk sa'yo" nakakadiring sagot ko sa kanya.
Pumunta muna ako sa kwarto ko para kumuha nang mga libro at mga papel kasama narin siyempre ang ballpen at pencil. Pagbaba ko naabutan ko siyang dinidilaan na Ang lollipop.
"Kala ko ba ayaw mo sa lollipop bakit parang naubos mo naman ang bigay ko."
"Wala akong sinabing ayaw ko sa lollipop, sabi ko lang pambata, ano yan?" Tanong Niya nang makita Ang mga dala kong libro. Siya ay presentang nakaupo sa sala habang ang mga paa ay nasa maliit na mesa nang sala.
"Ahh Ito di'ba...sabi mo sa akin na ako ang mag t-tutor sa'yo? Kaya Ito....kaya ngayon natin simulan"
"Ano!! Pwede ba ngayong Monday nalang yan total weekend naman ngayon eh" napaupo siya nang maayos nang sabihin ko yun.
"Ako ang tutor mo kaya sa akin ka makinig naintindihan mo ba Mr.Bad Boy?" kayak bumaba na ako at umupo sa tabi niya at nilapag ang mga gamit na gagamitin ko para pang tutor sa kanya.
"So ang ituturo ko sa'yo ay English Subject" masayang tugon ko at sinimulan nang magturo sa kanya.
"Ang hirap naman nito Kabi wala bang mas easy pa dito?" tanong niya sa akin at kinalot ang ulo. Tumingin lang ako nang diretso sa kanyang mata at umiling. Meron kasi akong pinasagot sa kanya para malaman ko kung totoo bang nakikinig to sa akin kanina sa lecture.
"Alam mo hindi mo yan masasagot nang maayos Kung ang nilalagay mo sa isipan mo ay 'ang hirap naman nito' dapat kasi positive lang ang iniisip mo tulad nang 'kaya ko to matatapos ko tong sagutin easy lang toh *inhale * exhale' ganon ganon dapat" pagkumbinsi ko sa kanya.
"Hayss bahala na nga..." napasabunot nalang siya sa buhok niya bago sinimulan ang pagsasagot sa papel, seryoso ang mukha niya habang binabasa at sinasagot ang bawat tanong sa papel.
Naghintay pa ako sa kanya nang ilang minuto hanggang sa ma boring na ako at tumayo para mag inat nang kaunti tsaka kinuha ang phone ko at headset. Umupo ako ulit sa tabi niya at nagpatugtog sa phone ko.
"Bry, kung tapos kana sabihan mo lang ako, okay?" tumango lang siya bilang tugon kaya nag patugtog na ako sa phone ko, napapikit ako nang mag start na ang music.
"When we turn out the lights
The two of us alone together
Something's just not right
But girl, you know that I would never
Ever let another's touch come between the two of us
'Cause no one else will ever take your place..."
Ang ganda talaga nang kantang toh para akong sinasayaw nang imaginary boyfriend ko.
"No one else comes close to you
No one makes me feel the way you do
You're so special, girl, to me
And you'll always be eternally
Every time I hold you near
You always say the words I love to hear
Girl, with just a touch you can do so much
No one else comes close..."
Sa lahat nang kanta Ito yung isa sa pinaka favorite ko kasi para akong sinasayaw nang lalaking mahal ko sa gitna nang gabi na tanging ang buwan at bituwin ang siyang saksi nang aming pagmamahalan. At ang simoy nang hangin ay presko at malamig na parang sumasang ayon sa pagmamahalan naming dalawa.
"Hoii...kanina pa kita tinatawag!.."
"Ay sorry, tapos kana ba? akin na para i-check" sabi ko at kinuha na ang paper niya tsaka tsinek ang papel niya.
"Kala ko nga patay kana eh, may papikit pikit kapang nalalaman" sabi niya naman sa akin bago sumandal sa upuan.
Wow in fairness magaling naman pala itong lalaking to kahit basagulero eh magaling naman pala.
"Kala ko ba mahirap eh dalawa lang kaya yung mali mo dito"sabi ko sa kanya.
"Tsk.. Baka di mo nalalaman ako lang yung bad boy na matalino na gwapo pa" sabi niya sabay lip bite at kindat sa akin.
"Pupirihin na sana kita eh kaso parang mali, baka kasi lumaki pa yang ulo mo" sabi ko sa kanya at niligpit na ang mga gamit.
"Pwede kanang umuwi tapos na ako sa pag t-tutor sa'yo" sabi ko sa kanya at tumayo na.
"Lock mo nalang ang pinto pag uuwi kana okay?" sabi ko at umakyat na hindi ko na siya hinintay na sumagot.
Pagdating ko sa kwarto ko ay agad akong nagbihis at nag ayos kasi kada sabado ay nag g-grocery talaga ako.
"Hindi ka pa pala umuwi?" sabi ko nang nakababa na sa hagdanan at naabutan siyang naka upo dun.
"San ka pupunta?" tanong niya nang hindi sinasagot ang tanong ko kanina.
"It's none of your business" sabi ko at tumingin muna sa salamin sa baba at lumabas na nang bahay.
"Di ka pa ba uuwi? Kasi kung hindi, hindi ko nalang Ito ilalock" sabi ko sabay turo sa pinto.
"Hindi aalis din ako may sasamahan" tumayo na siya at lumabas na. Ni lock ko na ang pinto pati ang gate nang masigurado ko na okay na ang lahat ay nagsimula na akong maglakad ganun din siya patungo sa kotse niyang mamahalin.
Habang naglalakad ako may bumosena sa akin na sasakyan Jaya nilingon ko'to.
"Hoi Pangit sakay kana ihatid nalang kita sa paruruonan mo" sabi niya mula sa loob nang sasakyan niyang nasa harapan ko na ngayon.
Ako pasasakayin niya sa maganda at magara niyang sasakyan? What a dream it could be!!..
"May pera ako kaya ko ang sarili ko at tsaka puntahan mo na yung sasamahan mo.." sabi ko sa kanya at naglakad ulit.
"Sige na sakay kana ayaw, mo pa non libre ang sakay mo tapos gwapo pa ang driver.." Hindi ko siya pinansin at nagpatuloy lang sa paglalakad hanggang sa naramdaman ko nang wala nang naka sunod sa akin na sasakyan.
"Ahhhh!!!!! ano ba bitawan mo ako!!" sigaw ko nang may biglang bumuhat sa akin.
"Ayaw mong sumakay eh kaya bubuhatin nalang kita patungo sa sasakyan ko"

"ahh is that you? "
"Yes uncle don't worry I promise I'll take care of Kabi, isn't it bunny head" Bryan said holding my hand at the same time, I just nodded at what this man was saying, how come Because when my father saw us I would have told him that we were just classmates but did this Bryan of ours say that I was his girlfriend.
"eat a lot I don't want to have a skinny son in law" said papa
"Papa too!" I said because of shame, was Bryan called son in law.
"It's really delicious to cook my Bunny head" Bryan said while chewing the food while smiling at papa.
"Kabi son, don't take it easy, just enjoy your love first, is it clear? Bryan, Kristen?" Dad said looking seriously at the two of us Bryan. Oh dad. If you only knew that everything Bryan was saying wasn't true. I'm sure you could punch It.
"Yes uncle" Bryan replied.
"Oh he and I'll give you a rest to take care of it ah Bryan, Kristen is my order"
"Yes pa"
"Yes tito"
Dad got up and kissed me on the head before going up to his room.
"What town do you think, did you tell papa that I'm your girlfriend?"
"You still don't want to have a handsome boyfriend?"
"How many times can I say that you are not handsome in my eyes?"
"You know what just keep quiet and go with the flow, you understand" did he say to me, what is that, it's just that it's not possible! This is a Filipina girl, and I want it, before I answer the man I want him to work hard to woo me and take my heart, before I answer him ...
Call me old fashion if you want, but then you will know that it is true that you really love someone if he suffers everything just so you can answer him.
"So what about Bunny head, I'll be the first to clean up there ... Bye"
I'm in the room now wondering if everything that happened before is true, I've been slapping my face before until I stop because my face is numb.
Until I realized that I just fell asleep, I will wake up for a long time tomorrow because there is no school on Saturday.
"I'll be the first, please just tell Kristen that I've gone to work" that's what I heard while I was sleeping I would have opened my eyes with a hand holding my head and gently shake my head until I fall asleep me again.
I was shocked by the sound so I fell to the floor "Awake Weirdong Ugly !!!" said Bryan with the microphone on and the speaker on the side of my head.
"What the heck !!! The morning sucks that up!"
"Thank you and you woke up your handsome boyfriend" He said into the microphone while smiling, he was now wearing a red polo shirt tucked in his black slacks.
"Can't you be my boyfriend okay !!"
"Stand there I'm so hungry, cook that !!" He said into the microphone
"Cook if you want, you have a hand so use that to cook"
"Ah you don't want to cook for me all right I'll just call my uncle and tell him that he doesn't want to cook for me because of his ugly son"
"You're the one who can eat with appetite when you do that" I got up to cook our ugly food ..
"Take a bath you ugly one!"
"You can get out of here! You're trespassing!" I said at once pointing at him
"And at least handsome trespasser" he said once winking at me "Ah by the way good morning bunny head"
"Ahgghhh stupid, stupid stupid !!"
I quickly took a shower and got dressed and went downstairs, I even caught him reading books 'kala mo smart tskk' I said to myself. I went to the kitchen to see what can be cooked here. Because our bad boy is here, they are rich. They can take him out or cook for their own chief.
"Oh there you eat that bad boy" I said. I only cooked tosino and fried rice and fried egg. Breakfast still.
"I'm not a bad boy no! Maybe Nathan is bad I'm not"
"Hey, don't touch Nathan here, he's kinder than you! And hello !! He's more handsome than you" I said.
"You know If I were you I wouldn't love Nathan"
"And who are you to scold me, aber ??!"
"Well I'm just your handsome boyfriend who's telling you" he said and turned his attention to his food.
I was silenced by what he said..yes, by the way, I have a fake boyfriend now. "Do you want me to test you again?" I was turned upside down, I didn't realize that I was just staring. So I sat down and started having breakfast.
"Hoi ugly, you might think I'm your real boyfriend, I just said that because ...."
"Because what? For me to cheat and lie to my father?" I said and gulped down my food.
"Because .... I just didn't have a trip" he said while shrugging his shoulder. 'Bwesit talaga tong lalaking to kahit kailan'. I said to myself, If only the thought of a long -time teacher was deadly.
"I'll do the washing, just leave it there when you're done" I was dazzled by what he said raising my eyebrows.
"You !! You know how to clean Plato..only lizards will believe you" I said in disbelief. And drank the water he handed me. This man is just a good teacher when he eats ?. He was done eating, he was really hungry, maybe this man.
"You don't trust me?" When he c-challange me. He said and got up to start washing the dishes so I hastened my meal and when I finished I gave him my plate and sat in the living room to wait for him to finish.
While he was busy washing I took some candy from the jar and went back to the living room to watch tv. After a while I heard him call me so I went to the kitchen to check if he was really good at washing dishes.
"Wow clean and doesn't smell like soap, you really know how to clean Plato" I praised her while my mother smelled and looked at the things she washed. It's amazing that there are still really rich people who know how to clean a house. "And because of that I have an award for you..Tadann !!"
"Lollipop? What do you think of me Child?" His eyebrows met when he saw The lollipop in my hand that I would give him.
"You have no choice. It's just what's left of the candy I ate earlier, and you're still really young."
"I'm 20 years old" he said and took the lollipop in my hand and opened it.
"I'm not believing you?"
"It's not obvious, I'm handsome" he said and ate the lollipop I gave him and winked at me.
"Big yakk to you" I replied disgustedly to him.
I first went to my room to get books and papers along with of course the ballpen and pencil. When I came down I found him l*****g the lollipop.
"I wonder if you don't like lollipops, why do you seem to have used up what I gave you."
"I didn't say I didn't like the lollipop, I just said childish, what is that?" He asked when he saw the books I was carrying. He was present sitting in the living room with his feet on the small living room table.
"Ahh This isn't it ... you told me I'll be your tutor? So This .... so now let's start"
"What !! Can it be just this Monday, it's a total weekend now eh" he sat down properly when I said that.
"I'm your tutor so listen to me. Do you understand Mr. Bad Boy?" kayak I went down and sat next to him and put down the things that I will use to tutor him.
"So what I'm going to teach you is English Subject" I replied happily and started teaching him.
"The difficulty of it, Kabi, isn't there anything easier here?" he asked me and shook his head. I just looked straight into his eyes and shook. I asked him to answer something so that I would know if he was really listening to me earlier in the lecture.
"You know you can't answer that properly. If what you put in your mind is 'the difficulty of it', you should only think positively like 'I can do this, I can finish answering it, it's easy * inhale * exhale' like that. should "I convinced him.
"Hayss take care ..." he just tweaked his hair before starting to answer the paper, his face was serious as he read and answered every question on the paper.
I waited for him for a few more minutes until I was bored and stood up to stretch a little and took my phone and headset. I sat down next to him again and played my phone.
"Bry, when that's over just tell me, okay?" he just nodded in response so I started playing on my phone, I closed my eyes when the music started.
“When we turn out the lights
The two of us alone together
Something's just not right
But girl, you know that I would never
Ever let another's touch come between the two of us
'Cause no one else will ever take your place ... "
The song is really nice, it's like I'm dancing with my imaginary boyfriend.
“No one else comes close to you
No one makes me feel the way you do
You're so special, girl, to me
And you'll always be eternally
Every time I hold you near
You always say the words I love to hear
Girl, with just a touch you can do so much
No one else comes close ... "
Of all the songs, this is one of my most favorite because it's like I'm dancing with the man I love in the middle of the night when only the moon and stars are the witnesses of our love. And the breeze was fresh and cold as if in harmony with our love.
"Hoii ... I've been calling you before! .."
"I'm sorry, are you done? I'm here to check" I said and took his paper and checked his paper.
"I thought it was dead, there's something sticky when I find out" he said to me before leaning back in his chair.
Wow in fairness, this man is good, even if he's a basagulero, he's good.
"I thought it was difficult, there are only two, so you're wrong here" I told him.
"Tsk .. Maybe you don't know I'm just the bad boy who's smart and handsome" he said with a lip bite and winked at me.
"I'm going to shoot you in case it seems wrong, maybe your head has grown even bigger" I told him and put away the things.
"You can go home right now I'm done tutoring you" I told him and stood up.
"Just lock the door when you go home, okay?" I said and climbed up I no longer waited for him to answer.
When I came to my room, I immediately got dressed and tidied up because every Saturday I actually go to the grocery store.
"You haven't come home yet?" I said as I went downstairs and found him sitting there.
"Where are you going?" he asked without answering my question earlier.
"It's none of your business" I said and looked in the mirror below and left the house.
"Aren't you going home yet? Because if you don't, I won't lock It" I said while pointing at the door.
"I'm not leaving with a companion either" he stood up and left. I didn't even lock the door or the gate when I made sure that everything was okay. I started walking and so did he towards the car he would love.
As I was walking, a car shouted at me. Jaya looked at me.
"Hoi Ugly that's on board I'll just take you to your destination" he said from inside the car he was in front of me now.
Will he take me in his beautiful and elegant car? What a dream it could be !! ..
"I have money so I can take care of myself and then go with the one you're going with ..." I told him and walked again.
"All right, you don't want to ride, you're still free to ride and the driver is still handsome ..." I ignored him and just continued walking until I felt that no car was following me.
"Ahhhh !!!!! why don't you let me go !!" I shouted when someone suddenly lifted me up.
"You don't want to ride, so I'll just carry you to my car"
