He’s gone (Tagalog)

T H R E E ( Roxanne )

Sky

5 p.m kami dumating sa school and I saw kuya Syl and Amber. Bumaba na ako para puntahan sila. May lakad pa kami mamaya.

“Thanks for the free Salazar mansion trip!” I said. Hinintay ko muna siya para buksan ang door para saken pero hindi niya binuksan. Akala ko ba gentleman ang mga Salazar. I waved at kuya Syl at lumapit sila saken. Kuya opened the door for me.

“Where have you been?” Tanong ni kuya habang inalalayan nya akong makababa. O diba mas gentleman pa ang mga kuya ko.

“Somewhere,” I answered. He slammed the door and immediately started his car. “Ang sungit. Hindi man lang nag goodbye,” bulong ko sa sarili ko.

Lumipat na kami sa sasakyan ni kuya Sol.

“Boyfriend mo, Sky?” Tanong ni Amber at sinapak ko siya.

“Luh, hindi noh? Ang weird kaya ng lalakeng yon. Well, to be honest, pwede ko siyang maging boyfriend kasi mayama-“ hindi ko natapos ang sasabihin ko dahil biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang sinabi ni weirdo guy.

“Don’t tell others about my identity, Sky,”

Bakit niya alam yung pangalan ko? Bakit ayaw niyang sabihin ko sa iba yung pagkatao nya? Ahh, kaya pala nakamask sya sa loob ng classroom at hindi namin alam na may anak ang mga Salazar. Pero bakit sinabihan niya ako na may kapatid siya? Bakit niya ako pinapunta sa mansion nila? Bakit hindi nila ako pinatay?

“Sky..Sky!” Amber snapped his finger infront of my face. Nakatulala pala ako. “What are you thinking? Malalim ata yang iniisip mo.”

Nag-isip ako ng ibang paraan para masagot si Amber and I saw kuya smiling.

“Si kuya kase kanina pa nakangiti,” tumingin si kuya sa amin through rear-view mirror.

“Sasama daw kasi si Roxanne.” Amber said.

“WHAT?” Amber dropped her phone.

“Ginulat mo ako yan tuloy, nahulog yung cellphone ko,” reklamo ni Amber.

I heard kuya chuckled.

“Susunduin ko si Roxanne sa park,” hanggang ngayon nakasmile parin si kuya.

“Pero kuya, hindi mo pa kilala si Roxanne. Fake yun,” hindi niya ako pinakinggan at hininto niya ang kotse.

“I’ll be right back,” ani kuya.

“Kainis! Ano bang nakita niya kay Roxanne?” Tumawa si Amber. Sige pagtawanan niyo ko.

“I mean she’s pretty and sexy, Sky. Kuya Syl’s type,” she answered. Her boobs are probably fake too.

“Oo nga pero gold digger yun eh, fake at..basta, ayoko sakaniya,” my day is ruined because of that b***h.

“Kalma. By the way, saan kayo pumunta ng boyfriend mo?” Amber asked at sinapak ko ulit.

“I told you, he’s not my boyfriend! At tsaka bawal kong sabihin kung saan kami pumunta,” tinaasan ako ng kilay ni Amber.

“Hmm sounds suspicious,” she said.

And here comes the b***h. Kuya opened the door for her.

“Hi Amber, Sky,” she smiled at me. Is she trying to annoy me with her intimidating smile?

“Are you ready?” Kuya asked Roxanne and she nodded kaya pinaandar na ni kuya yung kotse. Kainis!

“Kuya can you please play a song and put it in a full volume please,” tinignan niya muna si Roxanne waiting for her permission. “Kuya please,” Roxanne nodded and he did what I asked him to do.

Seriously? Kailangan niya pang magpaalam kay Roxanne?

“How old is she again?” Pabulong kong tanong ni Amber, baka marinig.

“Kaibigan mo siya tapos hindi mo alam kung ilang taon na siya?”

“No, bingyan ko lang siya ng pagkain noon kasi kinuha daw yung pagkain niya tapos ayun, feel niya siguro friends na kami,” yeah I did that. I didn’t know her personality that time kaya tinulungan ko and then Kate told me that she’s just a scholar student and a gold digger.

“I think she’s 18,” Aniya.

Nandito na kami sa isang 5-star restaurant. Sa lahat ng restaurants bakit dito pa pinapunta ni kuya ang babaeng yan. Baka orderin niya lahat tapos it-takeout niya tapos ibebenta niya para magkapera.

Nakahanap na kami ng seat. Pinili ni kuya yung vip seat para maenjoy daw ni Roxanne. Kuya yung kapatid mo hindi nag-eenjoy!

“First time kong pumunta sa ganitong klaseng restaurant,” sabi niya habang tinitignan ang paligid. Kitang-kita ko ang pagkamangha sa mga mata niya. Kuya stared at her as if she’s the most beautiful girl in the world.

“Your first time and your last time,” pabulong kong sabi at tinapik ako ni Amber.

“What did you say?” At nagalit pa talaga si kuya.

“Nothing,” I answered and ordered a food. Wala akong ganang pumili kaya inorder ko yung order ni Amber.

Nandito na ang foods namin at si Roxanne naman, halatang hindi marunong gumamit ng mga kubyertos dito.

Seriously? She used a fork for slicing the steak instead of the steak knife.

“Here, I’ll teach you how to slice a steak. Use the steak knife instead of a fork,” I said.

“Thank you,” she smiled. Wag ka ngang magsmile saken nakakainis!

And she used a regular spoon for the soup instead of the soup spoon.

“You can use the soup spoon instead. You’re just wasting your time putting soup on your plate using a regular spoon,” I added and she looks embarrassed.

“Sky can you please let her use what she wants?” Aww kuya is mad because I’m teaching that b***h how to use those things correctly. What a nice day.

“Kuya, tinuturuan ko lang naman si Roxanne, diba?” Roxanne nodded.

Pagkatapos naming kumain, hinatid ni kuya si Roxanne sa car ni kuya Sol at pinahintay niya kami dito.

“Look, I’ll be driving Roxanne home and I’ll call manong to pick you up, okay? Hintayin niyo si manong Henry,” other girls over sister wow galing. Wala akong magawa kundi maghintay kay manong Henry, driver namin.

“Why did you do that to her?” Amber asked at mukhang nag-alala pa para kay Roxanne.

“I’m just teaching her, what’s wrong with that?” I answered. I mean am I lying though?

“Parang naiiyak na siya kanina. She looks kind naman. Why do you hate her?” Pati si Amber dinedefend niya ang babaeng yon, hay nako. “You should say sorry to her, Sky.”

“Why would I?”

I received a notification from Roxanne.

[Hi Sky. Sorry hindi kasi ako marunong gumamit ng mga pangmayamang kubyertos. Sorry na kung naabala pa kita. I promise, babawi ako sa susunod:>]
