Sandro

I am walking on the hallway when someone bumped on me at nahulog ang mga dinadala nito. It's already 3pm and I'm excited to go home because I want to see her and to check if she's okay.

"I'm sorry, Miss." I told her as I helped her to get the papers on the floor. I gathered the papers and gave it to her. Kanina pa ako nakakabunggo ah, is it me na tanga or sila?

"Sandro! Hi, thank God nahanap din kita." she said and hugged me, I was confused so i pushed her carefully because I don't even know her. I mean, she's familiar.

"Excuse me?" I asked and she smiled.

"Tricia. Tricia Robredo. You know? the one of the daughters of Ex VP Leni Robredo." she said so I nodded and inayos ang buhok ko.

"Ahh! Yeah! Hi, it's nice to meet you. I've met your sister a while ago eh." I told her, I talked to her casually because I don't feel anything about her. Like her sister, for sure magkaiba sila.

"Ayun na nga, kaya nga din kita gustong kausapin eh." she said as she sighed. I stared at her and crossed my arms on my chest.

"Sorry about her, she likes you ever since talaga eh, kaya nung nakita ka niya, ganun yung pag-arte niya. Dala na din siguro sa stress sa pag-aaral at pagttrabaho niya." She said calmly with full sincerity on her voice. She sounds like Mrs.Robredo din at the same time eh.

"Did she mention it to you?" I asked her and she nodded. Sabagay, she's the Ate.

"Kaya nga hiyang-hiya ako habang kinekwento niya 'yun sa akin. Anak pa naman ng presidente ang ginanun nun. Sorry talaga, Sandro." she bowed her head so I held her arms para patigilin siya dito.

"No. No, it's okay. I understand na. I'm sorry also because I said some blunt words to her a while ago. Dala din siguro ng irita." I said and she nodded.

"Uhm? Do you want to have some dinner? As a peace offering about my sister, I will take the blame nalang talaga." I sighed and smiled at her awkwardly as I shake my head.

"It's okay, pag nagkita tayo sa susunod, I'll treat you okay?" she said so nagaalangan ako kung tatango ba ako o hindi. Is it so harsh if I reject her offer or.

"Sige, sa susunod nalang. Got to go! Thank you and sorry na din." Sabi pa niya and nagmamadaling umalis. I didn't even answer her question. Well, I Left with no choice.

I went on my car and drive pauwi na sa Condo, Hindi ko na nga natitirahan ang Condo ko dahil doon na ako kay Chantall nakatira eh. But I called the maintenance naman para malinis ang Condo ko.

I arrived home and I heard them laughing from the kitchen.

"Kadiri naman, Si!" rinig kong saad ni Vincent and Chantall just laughed. I think she's okay, she can laugh right now na oh.

"Oh, Lovey! Hi!" she let go of her piping bag as she saw me, she hugged me so tight and gave me kisses on my face. They're baking, huh?

"How are you? How was the hearing?" She asked as she hugged my arms and iginiya ako sa table.

"It's good, nakakaantok at nakakapagod, nakakastress din but it's okay. I'm already home." I told her and she chuckled, I pinched her cheeks and kissed her lips.

"Guys! We're here okay? Mamaya na kayo maglipchulelak pag wala na kami okay?" Sabi ni Vincent and I saw Simon shake his head as she's mixing something.

"Come join us, we're baking some Brownies." She cheerfully said and kumuha ng isang apron at inilagay ito sa akin.

Parang kanina lang siya umiyak dahil sa sakit ah.

"Hindi na masakit yung puson mo?" I asked her and she made a 'little-bit' hand sign to me as she puts some chocolate chip sa hinahalo ni Simon.

"Did you take care of her very well?" I asked them.

"Yes, Sir!" Vinny and Simon answered na magkasabay so I planned to put some money on their bank accounts or should I just give them cash. Cards sila eh, so I will give them cash later before they go home.

"Ginawang babysitter ang kapatid," Chantall said and she laughed.

"We've seen a photo of you with the Ex Vice President's daughter on the twitter." Napatingin ako kay Simon and Vincent, Vinny is staring at me and Chantall is quietly eating the chocolate chips, I sighed and hugged Chantall because I know na iooverthink niya yun.

"Love, we just met. Natapunan niya kasi ako ng kape so she invited me to drink some coffee and have a small chitchat. Ayun lang." I said, I don't want to tell her that Jillian told me she likes me baka ano ang isipin nito, I don't want her to overthink nor cry.

"Why are you explaining? I didn't even asked you to do it." she said kaya nakita ko si Vincent na nag'hala' sign ng daliri.

"Suyuan time!" Simon said and nilagay na ang brownies na ginawa sa oven.

"Parang kahapon lang kayo nag-away ah, tapos away na naman ngayon." Vincent said and sat on the chair.

"Hindi kami nag-aaway and hindi kami nag-away kagabi. Maiissue ito. Sobra pa sa Rappler." we laughed because of the comparison that she used. My God, if we'll be in a reality show about our life, Gosh! Everyone will cancel us out for sure.

"But it's okay, Love. I understand." she said and held my cheeks and caressed it.

After baking, they went home and it's me and Chantall are left on the Condo, watching TV.

"Love?" nilingon ko ito and she's staring at me, so I raised my eyebrows.

"Hm? Why? Are you okay? I will get your hot compress?" I asked her and she shake her head, she sighed and stared at me so I hugged her from the side and kissed her forehead.

"Are you okay? What are you thinking? You're overthinking na naman?" I asked her, for sure she is. It made my heart felt heavy knowing that she's overthinking and all I can do is giving and proving my assurance to her.

"Sands, pano?" She asked and she sighed again. So I stared at her and her eyes are forming tears so I panicked.

"Oh, Jesus! Chantall, don't cry. Walang mangyayari sa atin. We will not break up! Walang maghihiwalay sa atin. Don't cry, Love. Ikaw lang ang mahal ko. I won't leave you." I told her and hugged her, I even give her kisses on her faces.

"I love you always, Chan." I said.

"Sands, pano kung naging langaw ako?" what the freak, Chantall? I gasped some air and let out a sigh.

God! Akala ko kung ano na, ayun lang pala. Jusko, Chantall!

"Sandro, paano kung naging langaw ako? Makikilala mo pa ba ako? Mamahalin mo pa ba ako? Will you still treat me the same if I became a fly?" I stared at the opposite side because I need to think an answer that has sense on her nonsense question. Kasi once na sinabi kong Hindi, magddrama ito.

She really is the best actress. 

"Sandro, hindi mo na ako mamahalin pag langaw ako 'no? Hindi mo ako makikilala? Hindi mo na ako ittreat ng ganito pag naging langaw ako?"  Ganito ba talaga ang mga babae pag may menstruation? They ask nonsense question and when you answered it opposite on the answer that they want, they will get mad? Kasi if oo, Lord, have mercy on me.

"Silence means 'Yes'. So hindi mo ako mamahalin pag naging langaw ako?" I massaged my name and stared at her. She's now furious and about to blow.

"Love, of course, I will love you even you're a fly. If you become a fly, I might not know which fly are you but my heart knows who are you and which fly are you." I answered with sincerity and she pouted. I want to laugh and be cringed because of my answer to her nonsense question. Jesus! Girls will be girls, as always.

"Weh? Totoo?" I closed my eyes and nodded, I need a little more patience to this girl.

"Of course,"

"How will you treat me if I become a fly?" may follow up question pa. Jusko, Chantall.

"I will feed you poop." I answered her casually and she slapped my arms and laughed.

"Hahahahahah! Sandro! Kadiri! Bakit tae? Andaming pagkain, tae pa ipapakain sa akin." she said and she laughed again so I laugh also because of her laugh. Her laugh is way funnier than the joke,

"Because paborito nila ang tae, diba?" I told her so she laughed and rolled her eyes at the same time.

My phone rings on the center table and I saw Mom calling so I answered it.

"Hey, Son? How are you? I heard you are staying on Chantall's."

"Mom, I'm good! I'm great. I've attended Hearing kanina and I'm with Chantall right now, watching tv."  Chantall stared at me so I loudspeak the call.

"Hi, Tita! I missed you so much! How are you?" Chantall cheerfully greeted my Mom on the other Line and I heard my Mom chuckled.

"Chan! Hi, I missed you too. Still pretty as always. Hahahaha!"

"Yes, Tita! You are aging like a fine wine nga eh." my mom laughed, alam niyo na bakit magkasundo sila.

"Oh dear! I know. How are you? Are your cramps bearable now?"

"Yes, Tita. Thank you so much for asking."

"By the way, I called because tomorrow is the birthday of Bonget, so we planned to stay in Okada for a week for his birthday. So you must come okay?" nanlaki ang mata ko dahil nakalimutan ko na birthday na pala bukas ni Daddy and I didn't buy anything for him, nakalimutan ko pa, I didn't even greet him a while ago.

"Sure Tita, what time tomorrow?"

"Around 3pm, make sure you're there na. I reserved suite na. Everyone will be there. So it's like a family gathering."

"Oohhh? I see, sige Tita. We will be there tomorrow. See you, God bless! Love you!"

"I love you, Dear. See you and God bless."

I was offended because Mom ended the call, she didn't even remembered to bid a goodbye to me. So I guess, I'm not her child now? I guess it's Chantall. I'm just kidding! Hahaha! It feel so good knowing that your Mom and your girlfriend are comfortable with each other.

We planned to go to room and Continue watching the series on the room while we are packing our things up.

"I can't swim. I have mine. What a bad timing." she said as she's staring on the bikini that she have on the bed.

"It's okay, I won't swim na din. So that may kasama ka." I told her and she giggled.

"But I will bring bikini,  for sure it has a yatch party 'no." I nodded and she clapped her hands. After packing our things, we went to sleep.

Chantall

"Love, what should I buy for Mr.President? I don't have presents for him." I worriedly asked Sandro while we're walking inside the mall, it's already 12 noon and kakatapos lang namin maglunch. We planned to have a lunch here so that we can buy gifts for Mr.President and derecho na sa Okada.

"Let's just get one present. Should we buy him a watch?" Sandro said so I agreed and we went to find a watch.

"I'll just pay this nalang, I'll use my Card." I told Sandro as I get my wallet on my sling bag.

"No, Love. Ako na, it's just Seven thousand." yeah! Ganiyan kamura ang binili namin,  I told him a while ago na parang nakakahiya but he said it's okay, Mr.President is appreciable. It's a Kawayan watch that's why it's quite expensive eh.

"Shut up! Ako na, Kuya! Get my card na!" Sabi ko habang tinutulak si Sandro gamit balakang ko palayo, I gave Kuya the card and he accepted it while chuckling. Si Kuya, ginawa kaming entertainer, tuwang-tuwa sa amin. Kalma kuya! Ako lang ito.

"Ipunin mo nalang yan for wedding." I jokingly told Sandro so his smile became wider. Napairap nalang ako.

The Kuya make papicture with us first before we leave so we bought a gift box pa para mailagay ang regalo dito. Nagtatalo din kami ni Sandro kung sino magsusulat. And ito na yung pinagtatalunan namin na pareho kaming ayaw na magsulat.

"Ate, ikaw na nga lang." I told the cashier and she laughed.

"Hala, ma'am? Sure po kayo?" she asked us and stared at Sandro so Sandro raised a thumbs on her.

"Say, Happy Birthday Mr.President. I hope you love our present. ILY." I slowly tell that on her while she's writing. Infair, maganda penmanship. Ayan ang when.

"From, Mr and Mrs Sandro Marcos." sabi ni Sandro kaya sabay kami napatingin sa kaniya ni Ate. Umiwas naman ako ng tingin at tumalikod kay Ate Cashier kasi hallurr! Kinikilig ako! Effortless talaga magpakilig 'tong si Sandro, kaya madaming nadadali eh.

"Ang sweet at cute niyo po." sabi ni Ate kaya natouch ako. I thanked her and we took a photo with her before going inside the car.

We arrived at Parañaque after 1 hour, because the traffic is so worse right now. And good thing, it's still 2:30pm.

I called Tita from Sandro's phone telling that we're here na.

"I'll wait for you on the receiving area, Darling." Tita said on the other line so I unclasped my seatbelt and went outside the car.

"Sure Tita, we're on our way. Sandro is getting the stuffs na." i said and she ended the call. I don't want to end the call naman no.

"After this vacation, we'll go back to work again." Sandro said as he's pushing our luggages.

I am wearing a wideleg tube jumpsuit in color yellow with my Jentle Home shades and a Chanel Bag, my hair is in a messy bun and a flipflops to complete my look.

We went inside and we saw Tita waiting on us wearing her white dress and a sandals.

"Tita! I missed you!" I said as I ran towards her to aim a hug.

I hugged her and she hugged me back, we're like mother and daughter na matagal nalayo sa isa't-isa.

"Oh dear! I missed you too. You become prettier and more blooming." I smiled and bit my lips because of her compliment.

"Mom? Sino ang anak mo? Diba ako? Why didn't you greet me?" Nagdrama na naman si Tito Sandwo niyo. Me and Tita Liz laughed because of him.

"Hahahahah! I missed you, Son." Tita said and hugged Sandro, He also kissed her forehead.

"But, come. We'll go to your room." Tita said and held my arms, at dinala ako sa elevator.

"Iisang kwarto ba kami, Mom?" Sandro asked Tita. Baka iisang kwarto lang kami. Para mas comfortable ako gumalaw no.

"Without Vincent and Simon." pagdugtong pa nito kaya tinignan ito ni Tita.

"Yes, you have your own. Ito, takot na takot maagawan ng atensiyon mula kay Chantall." sabi ni Tita and lumabas na kami ng elevator,

"I won't lie on that." sagot ni Sandro.

We went inside the room and we put our luggages and stuffs inside.

"Baba kayo after 30 minutes okay? We'll have a meal and derecho tayo sa yatch. Doon icecelebrate ang birthday. Have some rest muna, okay?" Tita said and kissed our cheeks before she went out of our room.

"Woah! Ang ganda ng view, you can really see the sunset later if we'll stay here." I told Sandro while I'm staring outside from the glass window. Sandro hugged me from behind and kissed my shoulder.

"Mas maganda ka sa view." bwisit! Ang korni niya! Hinampas ko ito and then tumawa nalang. We planned to cuddle before we change our clothes, required ba na white yung isusuot pag may Yatch Party?

I wear a white beach dress that is puffed sleeves, above the knee, and a pair of white flip-flops. I tied my hair into ponytail kasi mahangin sa labas and a white headband. Sandro is also wearing a White polo and a shorts with his flipflops and shades and we're ready to go.

We went inside the La Piazza and I saw the bodyguards, and the Tita's. Well, it's like a gathering na, parang feel ko ako ang sampid.

"Chantall! Hi!" Tita Imee greeted and went on us to give us a hug.

"Hoy! Sandro, kalat na kalat yung picture niyong naglelepchulelak sa airport ha. Infairness." natatawang sabi ni Tita kaya I laughed awkwardly because nakakahiya, Sandro just laughed and hugged her.

"Hahaha! I'm just giving her a peck." he said and dinala na kami sa table.

"Mama Meldy! I missed you, how are you." I went on Mama Meldy and kissed her forehead. She hugged me and also Sandro.

"You are so gorgeous with your white dress, it looks like the two of you are getting married." Mama Meldy said and I bow my head. Nagsikantyawan naman ang iba,

"Happy birthday, Mr.President." I said and he hugged me.

"Oh dear! Mr.President is too formal, you can call me Tito or Pops or anything. Just drop that Mr.President, besides you'll be my daughter-in-law soon." nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi nito. Omg! Pops! Halla!

We started eating and we're waiting Vinny, Simon, Kuya Matt and Kuya Luis because they are late.

They are talking about Tito Bong. Ackk! Tito Bong yarn, they are talking about him, his birthday, his job, about politics overall. And as usual, I am here, silently listening to them.

"Hi, I'm sorry we're late. Sabay-sabay kami dumating." Nilingon namin si Kuya Matt na kasama ang mga late. Vinny waved on me when he saw me.

They went on the elders to gave them kiss and hugged them

"Ohhh? Chantall! It's nice meeting you again, personally!" Kuya Matt said and kissed my cheek.

"Is this the Chantall that everyone is talking of? Oh my God! A goddess indeed! Hi! I'm Jamie. Jamie Herrell!" I smiled at her and hugged and kissed her cheeks din.

"Oh! I know you, hi! It's nice to meet you." I told her and she sat beside me.

"How are you? I always saw you in TV, Billboards and Magazine. I can't believe that I will meet you personally. The Chantall Davis indeed." Omg! Punong-puno na ako ng papuri, hahahah! And from this people pa talaga. Huhu!

"Baka lumaki ulo ni Chantall, Jame." Sabi naman ni Sandro kaya hinampas ko ito sa braso and inirapan.

"Hoi! I'm not like that. My parents taught me to be humble." Sabi ko kaya natawa naman silang lahat.

"Tito Bong, the best talaga mamingwit ni Sandro 'no? Super Model pa talaga." Jamie said to Tito Bong and they all laughed.

Hoi! Para naman akong isda, huhu! Janitor fish yarn.

"New good-looking person in the family was added." Tita Irene said.

Nahihiya na ako, na sa akin na ang spotlight.

"How about Simon, kailan ka magdadala dito?" tanong ni Tita Aimee sa kaniya so all of them looked at Simon so he rolled his eyes and shake his head.

"Woooh! Don't pressure me. I'm not yet ready to have a girlfriend." Sagot nito. Weh ba?
