My Favorite You

Chapter 7

Diana's POV

  Nagluluto ako ngayon ng agahan namin dahil wala lang. Maganda lang ang gising ko kase sa wakas ay makikinabangan ko na rin ang pagiging isang architect. Kahit pinagod ako ni Franki kahapon sa paglilibot ng mall dahil hindi ako nainform na magsashopping pa pala siya, kaya pala pormadong pormado. Bumili kami ng mga damit niya, make up, libro, at pati cr ay pinasok pa! Hindi para umihi kundi para mag retouch. Pagkatapos nun ay ang food court naman ang sinakop niya at syempre pati narin ako.  Hindi ko siya magawang hilahin sa grocery dahil ako lahat ang nagbitbit ng pinamili niya. Kaya ayon, sunod ako ng sunod sa kaniya. Hapon na nga kami umuwi eh. Pero okay lang, kase bawing bawi naman ngayon.

  "I got woke up by the delicious smell of your cooking"  Sulpot na wika ni Franki na kinukusot pa ang kaniyang mga mata. Ang aga naman gumising nito. Alas sais palang eh.

  "If you want, I can help you." Pagpipresinta pa nito. Sus, sinabi sa akin ni Ate Mae na hindi ka marunong magluto, tapos may pahelp help ka pa dyan.

"No, thanks. Just sit there." Tugon ko naman at nagpatuloy sa pagluluto. Sumunod naman siya at umupo. Napaka masunurin naman. But, ang awkward ng lagay ko kase I can feel her gaze at the back. Tinititigan niya ba ako habang nagluluto? Nasa likod ko kase siya. Hay, baka feel ko lang to. Feeler ako eh.

  Nang matapos na ako sa pagluluto at humarap na ako sa kinauupuan niya, and there.... She's staring directly at me. Hindi ko alam kung bakit nagsoslow motion ang paligid. Tinititigan niya lamang ako sa mata na hindi kumukurap, at ganun din ako sa kaniya. Lalong bumilis ang pagtibok ng aking puso at parang kinakabahan pa yata ako. Ewan ko ba, parang hindi ako makahinga. Pero salamat nalang at umiwas na siya ng tingin, pero kung hindi, siguro nalagutan na ako ng hininga.

  Kinuha ko na ang mga niluto kong pagkain at inilapag sa harapan niya. Kumuha na rin ako ng dalawang plato, kutsara, tinidor, atsaka pitsel ng tubig at baso. Grabe, nagiging kasambahay na ako sa sarili kong bahay ah?

  Dahil gutom na ako at may lakad pa, umupo na ako sa harapan niya at sumandok na. Pero ang kasama ko ay wala yatang balak gumalaw. Wala akong choice kundi nilagyan ko na ang plato niya ng sinangag at itlog.

Naguguluhan siyang tumingin sa akin at nagtanong. "What is this?"

At tinuro niya  ang sinandok kong kanin.

"Sinangag." Sagot ko naman habang kumakain na.

"See nuh ngag?" Ulit nito. Pero hindi pa rin siya kumakain. Inuuna na naman ang pagtatanong eh.

"Yes, sinangag." Sabi ko naman at sinubuan pa siya. Yan naman pala eh, kumain na rin naman. Gusto pang subuan.

"The Tagalog of delicious is masarap. So, it is masarap?" Taas-kilay kong tanong dito. Tinignan ko siya dahil naghihintay ako ng kaniyang sagot. At kita ko rin ang pamumula ng kaniyang mukha.  Hala! Baka may allergy siya sa sinangag?

"Yeah, it's so masarap." Sagot nito ng nakangiti. Ngumiti naman ako dahil sa sagot niya. Hindi ko na namamalayan na kanina ko pala siya tinitingnan kung hindi pa niya ako sinubuan. Gahd, nabigla ako dun ah?

"You're so cute while smiling alone there, Diana."

Franki's POV

I was in the middle of fixing  my brows, because I'm the queen of brows on fleek, when suddenly I heard a doorbell rang. I'm alone on this house because Diana have some business to do, so probably I must check who's this visitor of her. Heller, this is Diana's house and I expect no one but her visitor, and not mine. And whoever is this! She or he must be the most disturbing species in my beauty session.

  I scornfully go outside but just kinda, because I don't have the right to haul at Diana's unexpected visitor. I open the gate without showing any interest to meet her. Yes. Her. The visitor of Diana is a woman. A beautiful woman. I looked at her blankly so that she will notice that her ass, disturbed someone's beauty. Lol! Just kidding.

  "Sino ka? At bakit ka nandito sa bahay ni Diana? Kaano-ano mo ba siya?" She asked me while crossing her arms. This girl is surely a b***h. I don't know what she's asking about, but the way she's speaks, shows.

"I said, who are you? And why are you here at Diana's house? Are you one of uoo relatives, or.....".  And she's looking at me from head to toe.  "A maid?"

  Her last question made my blood slightly boiled. Is her eyes a beautyproof? Or she doesn't check her eyesight on EO? In this kind of beauty,  she will just mistaken it as a maid? Do I look like a maid? But I need to calm down. Still, she is Diana's visitor. That doesn't worth a stress.

  "No, I'm not a maid, nor one of her relatives. I am Franki, and I am living with her in this house."  I answered while still blocking the way. "So what about you?" This time I'm the one who is asking.

"I'm Gazini, her college friend, and also her past lover. I'm here to surprise Diana something. Is she's here?" She asked while looking at the house already. So. This woman is Diana's ex- girlfriend? She got a height, a beauty and all, so I can't doubt that. But I doubt in someone that still surprising their ex.

  She's not here." I replied coldly as my system get weak. I don't know, maybe I don't have the mood to deal with someone today.

  "Oh, where is she? And by the way, if you and Diana are not blood-related or her maid, then what's your role in her life and why are you living with her in the same house?" She asked me again and this time her face got serious. Ugh. This girl doesn't ran out of questions. Can you please leave my face alone? But I'm so kind, so I'll just answer it. But I can't tell her that I'm Diana's new housemate because I don't want to explain again. I know she's going ask me why. I'm already living here for three days, so..

"I'm her new jowa." I simply answered. Kuya Bry told me yesterday that jowa means friend. Since I'm living here in three days, already, I must say that me and Diana are now friends.

"What!? Her new jowa!? For how long!?" She exclaimed. Another questions again!? She's really stressing me out.

"Three days" I said while giving her a boring look.

"Ano!? Tatlong araw palang!!? Pero dito ka na agad pinatira!?"

Oh, gawd! This girl is really a crazy! My blood is now boiling at the highest level!! By her infinite questions!!
