《Line without a hook || Darlentina》Chapter 8
Advertisement
Nagdaan pa ang mga araw at halos hindi na kinakaya ni Narda ang mga nakikita nya. Habang si Regina naman ay kilig na kilig at laging namumula, kapag nagkakatinginan sila ni Brian.
"Narda, are you free today?" Tanong ni Regina.
"Yes, why?"
"Let's gala na with your bike." Masayang alok ni Regina, namimiss nya na kasing gumala kasama si Narda.
Lagi kasing naglalasing itong si Narda na lagi naman ikinaiinis ni Regina. Ayaw kasi ni Regina sa mga lasing dahil mukha raw itong nags-sleepwalk.
"Aba, himala at sasama ka sakin." Sabi ni Narda at natawa na lamang.
Bigla namang nalungkot si Regina dahil naiisip nya na nawawalan na talaga sya ng oras kay Narda dahil lagi silang lumalabas ni Brian.
"Miss na kita eh." She pouts.
"Tss, alam mo gutom lang yan. Kain kana, nagluto ako."
Bigla namang napangiti si Regina at pumunta sa lamesa. Nanlaki naman ang mga mata nito nang makita ang kanyang paborito.
"Wow! You cooked adobo!" Sigaw ni Regina.
"May jollibee din pala dyan sa ref, go check it out."
Binuksan ni Regina ang ref at nakita ang stuffed toy na jollibee.
Kinuha nya ito ay tumingin ng seryoso kay Narda. Tawa lang sya ng tawa nang biglang binato ni Regina sa kanya ang stuffed toy.
"I hate you!"
"I know you'll hate me." Narda sadly smiled. "Sige na, may pupuntahan ako tapos kapag balik ko dapat bihis kana."
"Okay!" Masayang sabi ni Regina.
Honestly, Regina feels weird. She thinks that some things changed, lalo na yung mga spark sa mga mata ni Narda. Bihira nalang nya yun makita.
Nakikita nya yun kapag bumibili sya ng ice cream tapos kakainin nila ng magkasama. Everytime Narda looks at her, Regina always see that spark in Narda's eyes.
She finds Narda suspicious too, dahil may one time nung medyo nagkatabi ang kanilang braso ay biglang umaray si Narda. Tinanong sya ni Regina kung bakit pero ang sabi nya ay nakuryente daw sya.

Napabalik naman sya sa realidad nang magring ang phone nya. Napangiti naman sya agad dahil alam na nya kung sino yun kahit hindi nya pa tinitignan.
"Hello Brian?"
"Hoy! Anong brian?" Sigaw ng nasa kabilang linya.
"Ay N-narda, b-bakit?" Namula naman bigla ang kanyang mga pisngi sa kahihiyan.
"Pabalik nako, maligo kana, nangangamoy kana oh tagos hanggang cellphone."
"Excuse me?! Maban—"
Biglang pinatay ni Narda ang call kaya napagroan na lamang si Regina at naligo na.
Nag oversized T-shirt lang sya at nagjogging pants, since yun ang damit na komportable nyang suutin.
Nagsusuklay sya nang may kumatok.
"Pizza delivery po, Ma'am."
Kumunot naman ang noo nya dahil wala naman syang naalala na umorder sya ng pizza.
"Magka—" Napatigil naman sya nang makita nya na si Narda pala yun. Binato nya ito ng panyo sa mukha at tawa nanaman ng tawa ang isa.
"Jusko po naman, kahit kailan talaga noh? Lasing kaba o nakahithit ka?"
Marahan namang hinampas ni Narda ang balikat nito. "Grabe ka sakin ah? Di kita iangkas sa bike ko eh!"
"Edi wag, magkokotse naman ako."
"Mahal naman ang gas."
Inirapan nalang ni Regina si Narda dahil tatagal nanaman ang pagtatalo nila na wala namang kamuwang-muwang.
"Hintayin moko, magbibihis lang ako." Narda said at nagbihis na.
Naisipan ni Narda na magcrop top na sando nalang at jogging pants. Kaya naman paglabas nya ay kumunot ang noo ni Regina.
"Bagay ba?" Tanong ni Narda.
"Why are you wearing that?"
"Bakit bawal ba?" Takang tanong ni Narda at sumakay na sa bike.
"Ganyan lang suot mo?" Tanong ni Regina.
"Oo, tara sakay na!"
Regina rolled her eyes. Masyadong revealing ang sinuot ni Narda at mukhang hindi naman bothered si Narda, pero sya nabobother dahil for sure maraming mga lalaki ang titingin sa kanya.
Una ay pumunta muna sila sa mcdo para bumili ng makakain. Regina said that she'll be the one to pay for their food.

"Gusto ko ng coffee float tsaka fries." Narda said.
"Yun lang? Sure ka?"
"Oo, large pala yung coffee float."
Tumango naman si Regina, naka poker face lang sya since medyo nakikita nya ang ibang mga kalalakihan na tumitingin sa kasama nya.
"Ganun din ang sakin, Narda. Ikaw na ang pumindot dyan." Seryoso nyang sabi at tumalikod kay Narda.
Nagsimula nang umorder si Narda, since sa malaking screen ang orderan, pinindot nya lang ang mga dapat pindutin at pinlace order nya na.
Nang mareceive na nila ang order ay nilagay na ito ni Narda sa basket ng bike nya.
"Tsk, bakit kasi ganto sinuot." Bulong ni Regina na hindi naman narinig ni Narda.
Nakarating na sila sa kanilang favorite place, which is yung Manila bay.
"Whooaaaa!! Ang relaxing talaga dito." Sigaw ni Narda.
Umiling-iling nalang si Regina at umupo na sa kanilang favorite spot.
Kumain na silang dalawa at bigla namang nanginig si Narda.
"You're cold?" Tanong ni Regina.
"Medyo."
"Come here." Tinap ni Regina ang space sa pagitan ng legs nya at umupo naman don si Narda. Since, nakatalikod sa kanya si Narda, binack hug nya ito and Narda feels warm.
"You're still cold?"
"Medyo." Sagot ni Narda.
"Harap ka sakin." Utos ni Regina at agad naman na sumunod si Narda dito.
Niyakap sya ni Regina and Narda's head is placed on Regina's chest. They both feel comfortable, they totally miss each other.
"Sana laging ganito." Narda said.
Naamoy nanaman ni Regina ang kanyang favorite scent, at yun ay ang scent ni Narda. Ang kinaadikan nya ng sobra, to the point na gusto nyang ilagay nalang sa ilong nya para lagi nyang maamoy.
Pero since laging si Brian ang kasama nya, nawawalan sya ng time kay Narda. Buti na lang talaga ay pumayag itong gumala.
Lilingon na sana sya kay Narda pero lumingon din ito, muntik nang magdikit ang mga labi nila, ngunit umatras agad si Regina.
Ang bilis naman ng tibok ng puso ni Narda, habang si Regina naman ay nakaramdam ng mga paro paro sa tyan.
"Kapag ba may nagkagusto sayong babae, irereject mo agad?" Tanong ni Narda.
Ang random ng tanong nya kaya medyo nagloading ang utak ni Regina.
"It depends."
"Ice cream!" Sigaw ni Narda at tumakbo papunta don.
"Hi! Ano pong sa inyo?" Tanong ng babaeng nagtitinda.
Nagandahan naman si Narda dito, lalo na kapag nakangiti ito.
"T-tatlong vanilla flavor na ice cream." Sabi ni Narda at nginitian ang babae. Nagblush naman ang babae at tumango.
Umubo naman si Regina at biglang nagpoker face.
"Anong pangalan mo po?" Tanong ni Narda sa babae.
"Leslie."
"Hi Leslie, pwede bang maging gusion mo?" Pagbibiro ni Narda.
Tumawa naman silang dalawa habang si Regina naman ay walang kaemo-emosyon ang mukha. Tinititigan lang nito ang babae.
"Ang ganda nya!" Bulong ni Narda kay Regina.
"Ulit-ulit ka?"
Nagulat naman si Narda dito kaya napakamot nalang sya ng ulo.
"Eto na po yung ice cream nyo." Sabi ni Leslie at iniabot ang tatlong ice cream.
"Actually, sayo talaga yung isa. Bawal tumanggi, ang tumanggi kikiss ko."
"Ay ayoko po." Pabirong tanggi ni Leslie.
Regina rolled her eyes. "Just say that you want her kiss."
"Regina." Pagsaway ni Narda.
"Oh, sa iyo na yan ah? Ano palang fb mo? Pakitype nalang dito." Agad na ibinigay ni Narda ang phone nya at tinype na ng babae ang fb nya.
Nagpanic naman bigla si Narda nang makita nyang lumalakad na papalayo si Regina.
"Regina! Wait lang hoy." Sigaw nya, pero hindi parin lumilingon si Regina.
"Sa harapan ko pa talaga kayo naglalandian." Bulong ni Regina at nagpatuloy lang sa paglalakad.
