An Uprising Of Love

12

My weekend was spent at our resort. Mom let me observe while helping to take care of her other business. Mom has already started making success in this sector, but I still have several things to gain knowledge about.

It's a win-win situation for me. There are benefits for both parties. I am gaining in this field of work as well. With every conversation I have, knowledge expands my vocabulary. It's still not bad, right? It's also a free short vacation for me.

"Kaylee, are you listening?" Ate Milan snapped. Umayos ako ng upo. Hindi ko napansin na ako na pala ang kinakausap niya.

"No, sorry. Come again?" We're here sa club dahil may meeting. Excuse ako panandalian because of this matter.

"So back to what I was saying, we will produce a song about love. Do you agree with that?" I nodded. They started to plan things out. Nakikinig lang ako.

After the meeting ay umalis na ako para bumalik sa room. Nag re-review ako habang nag lalakad. Hindi ako nakapag review kagabi ng maayos dahil naglaro kami nila Yvxia ng COD. Anong oras na rin kami natapos that's why wala na akong time para makapag review.

I saw Yvxia walking with Caleb and our other friends. Tumakbo ako kung nasaan sila para sabay sabay na kaming pumasok ng room. Tinago ko na rin sa bag ang reviewer na hawak ko. For sure ay aasarin na naman ako nila Zoe kapag nakita nilang hawak ko ang reviewer ko.

"How's the meeting?" Tanong agad ni Caleb.

"Ayos lang yung meeting, ako, hindi mo tatanungin?" Biro ko. After the exam ay dismissal na. Lumapit agad ako kay Yvxia para ako na ang mag buhat ng bag niya. Back to our usual cycle na naman kami.

Pakiramdam ko ay lalo akong lumalala sa bawat araw. I'm still hurting. The fact that she still likes Caleb made my heart ache. Hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko kapag nandiyan siya. Dahil hanggang ngayon ay umaasa pa rin ako na baka isang araw ay ako naman. Ang tanga lang.

Kamila knew about my feelings for Yvxia, but she's keeping it a secret because it's our deal. I can't even afford to confess my feelings to her. Si Kamila lang naman ang nakakaalam. I'm not sure kung nahahalata ng iba naming kaibigan but if they notice it somehow, then that's fine. Hindi ko naman itatanggi iyon.

"You don't have to pick up my bag every time. I can do it." Ngumiti lang ako at isinuot na ang strap ng bag niya. Wala naman siyang magagawa.

"I know you can, but let me." I laughed at the way she rolled her eyes. Ganiyan siya e.

We made plans to study at my house together. I told Ate Jane via text right away that I was taking someone home with me. They prepared more than I was expecting. They prepared so much food for us that it seemed like there was a festival at home.

"Nakakatuwa naman anak. Ngayon kana lang ulit nag dala ng ibang tao rito sa bahay bukod kila Zoe." Nanay Cecil said. Lumingon pa siya kung nasaan masayang kumakain ang mga kaibigan ko. Ngumiti na lang ako.

"Iyon ba ang babaeng natitipuhan mo?" Nagulat ako. Nilingon ko ang itinuturo niya. Unang hula pa lang ay alam niya na agad na si Yvxia.

"How did you know po? Hindi naman po ako nagsasabi sa inyo about her." Parehas lang kaming naka tingin kay Yvxia. She's eating but you can see that she's listening to others. Wala naman siyang ginagawa pero lalo akong nahuhulog sa kaniya.

"Masyado kang halata anak. Siya lang ang kinakausap mo simula pa kanina. Pati pag sandok ng kanin ikaw pa ang gumawa, hindi mo nga inalok ang iba." Natatawang sabi nito.
