Mahina akong natatawa sa mga messages niya kaya napapatingin sa akin si ate at pinanliliitan ako ng mata dahil sa ngiti ko habang nag-ce-cellphone.
"Sana all may kalandian," pagpaparinig niya sa akin at sarkastikong umirap. "Ang tagal ng atty ko hintay ka lang." pagyayabang niya at nginisian ako.
"Kailan kayo nag-start mag live-in?" tanong ko bigla.
Hindi ko naman kasi alam basta nalaman ko na lang live in na sila ni kuya Stephen.
Pinanliitan niya ako ng mata at may mapang-asar na ngisi sa labi niya, "Bakit?" tanong niya pa parang tanga lang.
Kumunot agad ang noo ko sa tanong niya, "Anong bakit? Bawal ba magtanong?"
Malakas siyang tumawa, inaasar ako. "Wala, baka tinatantya mo kung pwede na kayo mag live-in." sagot niya at nakangisi sa akin.
"Gago! Tanong nga lang parang tanga." sabi ko at inirapan siya kaya mas lalo siyang natawa.
"Hindi naman ganun katagal, after we graduated college lang." sagot niya.
Tumango ako at inubos na ang noodles na kinakain ko, "You guys are sure about it? Or gusto niyo lang?" tanong ko pa.
Nakita ko kung paano nag-iba ang ekspresyon ng mukha niya— nagtataka. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, why did you guys decide to live-in? Is it because y'all are sure about your future— like that you guys would marry each other ganon?" tanong ko pa, parang kahit ako naguluhan sa sarili kong tanong.
"Ah.." sagot niya at tumango-tango. "Actually, we've been together for like almost 7 years already and before kami mag-live-in I think we were 5 years? It was him who asked me about it and we planned and agreed. He's serious about it, kilala mo naman si Stephen." pagpapaliwanag niya.
Ilang taon na lang pala almost 10 years na sila. Sana all. Ala una kaming natapos ni ate sa pagassemble ng cake. Sila na raw bahala sa paglalagay non sa box. Gusto nila na doon na lang ako sa isang guest room nila matulog pero nag insist na ako na wag na lang dahil sabi ni Lucas susunduin niya ko.
