“Hey, babe!” tinawagan ko si Ralph around 7am. Parating na kasi sina kuya Aldrin at kuya Allan galing airport. They fetched dad and Alyssa. Hindi na nila sinama si Mang Rene. I don’t know why. Anyway, hindi na din muna ako sumama kasi hindi pa namin alam kung anong magiging reaksyon ko. Ayoko din namang gumawa ng scene sa airport no.

“Oh, babe?” halatang bagong gising pa lang. “..ang aga naman..”

“Labas ka na ng bahay… Dali-dali.” Pagmamadali ko sa kanya. “…may sasabihin ako sa’yo.”

Natawa siya.

“Okay, okay. Toothbrush lang ako..”

“Magbihis ka din ha. Wag yang pinantulog mo.”

“Yes, princess.”

Binaba ko na yung telepono..

I went out and waited in front of our front door.

After a few minutes, I saw Ralph walking towards me. Hindi siya mukhang bagong gising. Gwapo. Haha. Yun nga lang, hihikab-hikab pa habang kinakamot ang ulo.

“Sira ka talaga. Wag ka ngang ganyan.”

“Eh, inaantok pa nga ako. Ano bang meron? Wala namang pasok.”

I grinned.

“You’ll see.” Then, I realized, I left my phone in the living room. Naku, baka tumatawag na si kuya. “Wait here, okay? Pag umalis ka dyan, break na tayo.”

“Hala, ganun?” tawa niya. “Okay, hintayin kita.”

Kinuha ko kaagad yung cellphone ko. 3 missed calls from kuya Aldrin. Then, sakto.. tumawag siya uli.

“Kuya, where are you?” tanong ko.

“We’re here… can’t you hear the honk?”

Narinig ko nga ang busina… shockssss.. I’m so excited.. Dahan-dahan akong naglakad palabas… Nasa tapat na ako ng front door namin. Nakatalikod si Ralph sa akin habang nakatayo. Sinisilip din kasi niya kung sino yung dumating.

Then I heard a shout from a girl.

“RALPH!!!!!!!!!!!”

Teka… how did my sister know about him? Hmmm.. Ah oo nga pala, because Ralph was the kid in my dream. So malamang, kilala siya ng kapatid ko.

Then, my sister jumped on Ralph. She hugged him tight. Halos napaatras nga si Ralph sa lakas ng impact. I can tell that he was really shocked.

“Oh, Alyssa, you should greet your sister first…” Kuya Aldrin said while laughing. He already saw me kasi.

“Oo nga,” dagdag ni kuya Allan.. “..unahin ang kapatid bago sa boyfriend.”

“..boyfriend?” tanong ko..

Nagulat si Ralph…

“Alexis…” bigla niyang nasabi habang nakatingin sa akin.

That must be a joke.

“Ate Lexi!” lumapit si Alyssa sa akin. She hugged me.. I hugged her back but my eyes and heart are fixed on Ralph. Hindi siya mapakali. Hindi din ako makapagconcentrate sa sinasabi ni Alyssa.

She pulled away.

“Ate, are you listening?” nakatingin siya sa akin.

“Uh, sorry.. what was that again?”

“I said, miss na miss na kita!” she grinned.

“Ako din, little sis.. so how are you?” I smiled.

“I’m okay… I’m so happy that you remembered me… Akala ko hindi na kita makikita uli kahit kailan. You know, many things have changed. I’m already a big girl now… far from the Alyssa you knew 5 years ago. Hindi na ako bratty.. Balita ko, ikaw nga daw ang spoiled.” She laughed. “..and yes, sorry, I broke a promise, sis. Di’ba sabi ko dati, ipapakilala ko kaagad sa’yo ang 1st boyfriend ko. Uh.. Ayun.” She looked back at Ralph.

“There he is.. We’ve been going out for almost 1 year.”

Pina process pa ng utak ko ang narinig ko mula kay Alyssa.

Bullshit… are you fucking kidding me?! Nakatingin ako kay Ralph. He looks so guilty. Oh fuck! NOT AGAIN! Itong feeling na naman na ito. I feel so mad… I wanna smash his face on the wall.

“Do you feel something, Alexis?” tanong ni Dad. “…okay ka lang?”

They are all worried.

“I’m okay, dad…”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes,” I faked a smile. “…so Al, let’s talk about stuffs… You wanna sleep in my room tonight?”

“Alright…” ngiti ni Dad. “We’ll have a family bonding later.”
