Ayla's POV
"Dyosa, kamusta Ang school?" Bungad sa akin ni ate Dahlia pagkapasok ko nang kusina.
"Ok, lang po, ate."
"Hmmm, teka lang hah parang iba na yata Ang suot mo ngayon. May nangyari ba?"
"Wala Po." Sabi ko sabay iwas ng tingin sa kanya.
"Weehhhh, ang totoo? Alam mo Ayla Hindi ka magaling magsinungaling. Sabihin mo sa akin anong nangyari sa school?"
Tanong nito at binigyan ako ng mapanuring tingin.
"Oh, Ayla nandito kana pala. Pwede bang pakidala ng meryendang ito sa pool? Nandoon ang young master at Ang mga kaibigan niya." Napabaling Ang atensyon namin Kay manang Sonya.
"Sige po, manang." Sagot ko sabay kuha ng dala niya.
"Naku Ayla kwentuhan mo ako pagkatapos niyan." Pahabol na sabi ni ate.
"At ano nanaman iyan Dahlia?" Tanong ni ante na kakapasok Lang sa kusina.
"Naku, manang Helen. May nangyari siguro sa school. Tingnan mo Ang damit niyan." Sabay turo sa akin. "Iba na. Hindi Naman nila PE ngayon dahil pinakita Niya sa akin Ang schedule Niya noon." Dagdag pa nito.
Tiningnan ako ni ante.
"Ihatid mo na iyan doon at bumalik ka rito." Sabi nito sa akin na ikinatango ko.
Napabuntong hininga ako habang tinatahak Ang daan papuntang pool.
Nang malapit na ako sa pool natanaw ko ang young master na naka upo sa bench at may kasama itong tatlo na lalaki.
"Ali dude, why you didn't tell me na mayroon kayong magandang dyosa na itinatago rito." Sigaw ng isang lalaki na nakatingin habang papunta sa akin.
Napabaling ang tingin nila dito sa akin at ng mag tama ang tingin namin ng young master Hindi ko naman maintindihan Ang aking sarili.
"Akane don't you dare do what you're thinking. She's off-limit." The young master said seriously.
"Hi miss beautiful. I'm Akane Yamashita, the most handsome in our group." Ngumiti siya sa akin sabay kuha ng aking dala at binaliwala Ang Sabi ni Master Ali. "What's your name pretty, lady?"
"Ayla" sagot ko at nahihiyang ngumiti sa kanya.
"Your name is as beautiful as you." He said. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He asks seriously na ikinabigla ko at agad napailing.
Biglang siyang tumawa ng makita ang aking reaksyon.
"Aray! Zeki mahilig ka talagang batukan ako , ano?" Biglang daing nito.
Hindi ko manlang namalayan na nakalapit na pala Sina young master sa amin.
"Huwag mong dalhin Ang kabaliwan mo dito, Akane. Umayos ka." Nagbabantang sabi ng Zeki na tinatawag niya kanina.
"She's Yaya Helen's niece." Pagpapakilala ni Ali sa akin sa kanila. Nasa tabi ko na ito.
"I'm Sage Herrer." Maikling pagpapakilala ng isa sa kanila.
I look at him and he looks intently at me.
"Why do you seem so familiar to me?" He said.
"Hey, Sage don't scare her." Sabi ni Akane.
"Shut up, idiot." Zeki said." Btw, I'm Zeki Montefalcon." Pagpakilala nito NG seryoso.
"Insan, are you sick? Bakit parang ngayon lang kita nakita na nagpakilala at sa isang babae pa." Akane said.
"Just go and put our food on the table, Akane." The young master said.
"You can go back inside, Ayla." He added and turn his back on me.
Bumalik ako ng kusina at nadatnan ko doon silang lahat.
"Dyosa, kwentuhan mo na kami." Sabi ni ate Dahlia habang kumakain ng biscuits.
" Meryenda, Ganda." Alok sa akin ni manang Gregorya.
"Ano ba Ang nagyari kanina sa school, Ayla?" Seryosong tanong ni ante.
Wala akong magawa at ikinuwento sa kanila ang nangyari kanina sa cafeteria.
At lingid sa kaalaman ko narinig iyon ni Lady Zehra.
"Sinong Monique iyan, hija?" Pagtatanong ni lady.
"Monique Sarmiento Po."
Tumango ito sa akin at nagpaalam na umalis.
Nagpaalam din ako kina ante para mag-bihis.
Sage POV
I am thinking deeply right now. She's really familiar but I can't remember where I saw her face.
"What you're thinking, Sage. Parang kanina ka pa tahimik simula ng umalis si Ayla. Don't tell us that you like her." Akane said.
"She's familiar." I said and shrug at him.
"Baka na meet mo Kung saan pero di mo Lang matandaan ." Sabi nito
"I don't know." I said.
Her eyes parang nakita ko na iyon. Napasandal ako sa upuan at pinipilit na alalahanin.
"She's currently studying at MU." Ali said.
"I'm goin' to visit in MU everyday, then." Pabirong Sabi ni Akane.
"Don't add her to your collection, Akane. Don't you dare." Seryosong Sabi ni Ali.
I observed him earlier and there's something in him in the way she looks at Ayla.
"Is she your scholar?" Zeki ask.
"Sort of." Ali said.
"Good afternoon, boys."
"Good afternoon Aunt Zehra." Pag-bati namin pabalik.
" Kanina pa ba kayo?" Tanong nito sabay upo.
"Yes, tita." Akane said.
" You look more handsome now, compared to the previous years." Natatawang sabi nito
"Syempre tita. Hindi namin pwedeng pabayaan Ang aming sarili lalong lalo na ako. Baka maraming umiyak na babae." Pabirong sabi nito na ikinatawa ni tita.
"Sage, is it true that you're going to manage the MU?" Tanong ni aunt Zehra.
"Yes, tita."
" Can I ask you a favor? Can you pls. Look after Ayla for me?"
Napakunot noo ako sa sinabi ni tita.
"What happened, mom?" Seryosong tanong ni Ali at nilingon ko siya.
I don't know if I'm just hallucinating or what. He seems so worried about Ayla. This is the first time that I saw him being concerned about a woman.
"Did something happen at the MU earlier, tita?" I ask.
"I heard that there's a woman name Monique and her group na binuhusan siya ng shake dahil tinulungan nila ng kaibigan niya ang nerd na pinatid nila." Aunt Zehra said.
"And who's that Monique, tita? What's her surname?" Akane asks.
"It's Sarmiento."
"I'm goin' to visit MU tomorrow and I'll check it, tita." I said to her.
"Thank you, so much Sage." Tita said at nagpaalam na Ito.
"How dare them to did it to my baby," Akane said.
" And who told you to call her like that, moron." Zeki ask.
"I don't need permission from anyone cousin. Pagusto Lang ko Kay ako gatawag ND sila o ikaw."
"What did you say?" Zeki ask that looks pissed off at Akane.
"Nothing" Akane said.
"Don't use at me that alien language, again moron."
"Hey cousin, it's a hiligaynon one of the native languages in Western Visayas.
"And where the hell did you learn that?"
"Zeki, your words." Ali said.
"From one of my flings." Pagmamalaki nito.
I smiled while looking at the two of them. Their days won't really be complete without a small fight.
"So, you're goin' in MU tomorrow?" Ali ask paraibahin Ang usapan.
"Yeah, I'm going to check the reports and have some familiarization, there. May itinayo Kasi Sina dad na bagong building." Sagot ko.
"How about you guys?"
"I'm goin', to the office of dad." Kibit balikat na Sabi ni Zeki.
"I'm going to the Yamashita Hotel with Aunt Ayami." Proud na sabi ni Akane.
"How about you, Ali?" I ask him.
"I'm also going to the company tomorrow morning and in the afternoon I'm gonna pay a visit to MU." Ali said.
"I will go there, too" Akane said.
"And what you're going to do there, asshole?" Zeki said.
"Just Gonna pay a visit to my alma mater, cousin." He said.
Napailing at natatwa na Lang ako ulit sa kakulitan ni Akane Kay Zeki.
