《Line without a hook || Darlentina》Chapter 22
Advertisement
Pagdating nila sa Tagaytay ay pumunta sila sa Sky Ranch. Sa labas palang ay makikita mo na ang malaking ferris wheel na nagpamangha kay Regina.
"There's a ferris wheel pala here." Sabi ni Regina.
"Oo, sasakay tayo dyan mamaya."
"Eh?"
"Oh bakit may problema ba?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Narda.
"Nothing, it's just kind of scary."
"Scary? Hindi naman sya mukhang aswan-"
"Shh!!" Regina said and rolled her eyes. Napatawa nalang si Narda dito.
Pagpapark ni Narda ay agad syang bumaba ng sasakyan at pinagbuksan si Regina ng pinto.
Regina gave her a shy smile and held Narda hand. Parang bigla namang nabuhay ang mga paro paro sa tyan ni Narda nang hawakan ni Regina ang kamay nya.
"Narda, your fans will see you." Nag-aalalang sabi ni Regina dahil hindi nanaman nagsuot ng mask si Narda.
"Okay lang, makita man nila ako at magtrending pa ako dyan, okay lang. I won't let them ruin our moment." Narda said while looking at her eyes.
Sparkling eyes again.
"What did I do to deserve you?" Nakapout na sabi ni Regina.
As long as Narda wants to kiss that pout on Regina's lips, she can't. Dahil hindi naman sila and hindi sya gusto ni Regina.
"You did great." Narda said and winked.
Namula naman ang mga pisngi ni Regina at nakatungong sumunod kay Narda.
Paglingon ni Narda sa likod nya ay natawa sya. "Hoy! Mukha kang multo, wag kang tumungo."
"If I'm a ghost, then, I'm the most gorgeous ghost to ever exist." Confident na sabi ni Regina at hinawi hawi pa ang buhok nito.
"Agreed, kaya kita naghost-ohan eh."
Kitang kita ni Narda kung paano nagkulay pula ang mga pisngi ni Regina. Tinawanan nya nalang to at maya maya pa ay nakatanggap ng hampas kay Regina.
"Pucha, ang sakit non ah?"
"Hey! No bad words, Narda. Baka mamaya masabi mo yan sa twins and then they will repeat it." Saway ni Regina.
"Okay boss, I am sorry. I will try my best para hindi na ulit makapagsabi ng bad words." Sabi ni Narda at umupo na sa sahig.
"Narda, there's a chair naman dun, why don't we sit there nalang?"
"Mas masarap umupo dito. Humiga pa nga eh." Sabi naman ni Narda.
"Maybe there's a dog na umihi here and then you don't know, edi it's on your shirt na?"
"Hoy wala, halika na. Wala naman aso dito." Pilit na hinihila ni Narda ang kamay ni Regina pero hinahatak sya nito papunta sa upuan. "Uupo tayo dyan kapag nagstraight tagalog ka ngayong araw, ano deal?"
Nagsmirk naman si Regina. "Okay, but, I also want you to speak in English, straight din dapat."
"Sige, intindihin mo nalang kapag mali ang grahams ko. Hindi na nga ako straight pagsasalitain mo pa ako ng straight English."

"Wait." Regina said and looked at her confusedly. "Grahams?"
"Ah! Grammar yun." Natatawang sabi ni Narda.
"Loko loko ka talaga!" Sabi ni Regina at hinampas ulit si Narda.
"Aray!" Sabi nito habang hinihimas ang braso nya. "Ano deal?"
"Deal." Regina smiled and finally helped her stand.
"So what we will do?" Natatawang tanong ni Narda.
Bigla namang napaisip si Regina. I wish I can take my words back. This is pahirap sa life lang.
"Wait, ano pala yung punishment?" Tanong ni Regina.
"Uhm, every tagalog or english word will be 1000 pesos each."
"Ang mahal naman."
"A-ah, y-you yes to the deal." Sabi ni Narda na ikinatawa ng dalawa.
"Nagstay ka-"
Bigla naman napatawa si Narda dahil nakarinig sya agad ng english word.
"Hey gorgeous, you just said, stay and that's english. Where is my 1000?" Masayang sabi ni Narda.
Napagroan naman si Regina. "Here."
"WOAAAHH!! Another 1000, you said." Tumigil naman sandali si Narda para gayahin si Regina. "Here."
Umarte namang parang maiiyak na si Regina. "Dalawang libo na ang nabawas sa akin. N-nakakalungkot."
Si Narda naman ay parang batang nabigyan ng lollipop dahil tuwang tuwa ito.
"Narda! Ayaw ko na." Nakapout na sabi ni Regina.
"Oh, the Regina that I know is not.. surrendering agad agad." Nakasmirk na sabi ni Narda at biglang nanlaki ang mata nang marealize nyang nakapagsabi sya ng english word.
"Yeheeey!! You said agad agad."
"Wooaaahh!! You speak in english" Natawang sabi ni Narda.
"Ang hirap pala nito, hindi ko alam na nakakapagsabi na ako ng Ingles." Stress na sabi ni Regina.
"True, I'm happy that I stayed abroad, it helped me improve my english."
"Agreed." Tumatangong sabi ni Regina.
Napatawa naman ng malakas si Narda. "Agreed."
Bumuntong hininga nalang si Regina at binigay ang 1k. Hindi pa matagal ang laro nila pero naka 4k na agad si Narda, samantalang si Regina nakaka1k palang.
"Grabe, ang daya mo. Nakaapat na libo ka na." Nakapout na sabi ni Regina.
"Ofcourse, I'm so happy."
"Whatever!" Sabi naman ni Regina at inirapan ito.
Nagkuwentuhan lang sila ng nagkwentuhan hanggang sa magutom sila at kumain. Pagsapit ng hapon ay napagdesisyunan nila na sumakay na sa Ferris wheel. At natigil na rin ang kanilang laro dahil hindi sila makapagusap ng maayos.
"I'm kinda scared, Narda." Sabi ni Regina at humawak sa braso ni Narda.
Nginitian naman sya ni Narda bago pumasok. "Dun ka sa kabila umupo okay? Yung magkaharap tayo, para mahawakan ko kamay mo."
"It will be easy to hold you if katabi kita."
"Come on, trust me, bae."
At sinunod nalang ni Regina si Narda, at first ay kinakabahan sya dahil baka mahulog sila o kaya naman ay masira ang ferris wheel.

"Narda, it's going up na." Sabi ni Regina habang nakahawak sa kamay ni Narda.
"Bitaw ka sa kamay ko, promise, hindi nakakatakot." Tumingin sya sa mga mata ni Regina at nginitian ito.
Unti-unting bumitaw si Regina sa kapit nya kay Narda at sumandal.
"See, you did great." Nakangiting sabi ni Narda. "Oh eto, pipicturan na kita."
Nagpose naman si Regina na para bang kanina ay hindi sya natatakot. maya mata pa ay pinicturan nya rin si Narda.
Pagkatapos ng picturan ay medyo malapit nang bumaba ang ferris wheel.
"Malapit na tayong bumaba!" Sabi ni Regina.
"Dalawang ikot to." Natatawang sabi ni Narda at nagpout naman si Regina.
"Narda, I want to go down na."
"I want to tell you something." Seryosong sabi naman ni Narda.
Bigla namang nag-iba ang expressions ni Regina. "What is it?"
"Regina, it's been three years, but my feelings for you didn't change. I still feel those butterflies on my stomach and my fast heart beating everytime I see you. I know, you wouldn't someone like me."
Regina sighed. "Honestly, I also feel those butterflies on my stomach everytime you did something that makes them alive."
"And there's also a one time where my heart is beating fast when I took a photo of you sleeping." Dagdag nya pa.
"Baka naman kinakabahan kalang kasi baka mahuli kita?"
Umiling naman si Regina. "I even smiled after and then I felt that. I don't know, sometimes, you're making me feel something that I never felt with all of my exes. I am not sure, but I think I have a crush on you."
Napangiti naman si Narda. "But you're still not sure diba?"
"Opo." Sabi naman ni Regina na nakapagpatawa kay Narda.
"Regina, I want to ask you something." Kinakabahang sabi ni Narda.
"What is it again?"
Huminga si Narda ng malalim at tumingin sa mga mata ni Regina. "Can we like date for 3 days and after 3 days kapag may naramdaman ka, you will let me court you and if wala, it's okay, atleast you tried."
Napaisip naman bigla si Regina. Alam nyang masasaktan nya si Narda kapag halimbawang wala syang naramdaman after 3 days. Pero gusto nya ring iconfirm ang nararamdaman nya dahil andaming nangyayari sa kanyang weird everytime na kasama nya si Narda.
"Okay, deal." Sabi nya at ngumiti.
"Are you sure? Baka napipilitan ka lang?"
Hinawakan nya ang kamay ni Narda. "I am sure, Narda."
Ngumiti naman si Narda at niyakap ito. After ng yakapan ay saktong nasa baba na sila, kaya naman lumabas na sila at napagdesisyunan na umuwi na sa condo.
Pagdating nila ay nakita nilang tulog ang apat. Naisipan munang picturan ni Regina ang apat at habang pinipicturan nya sila ay niyakap sya ni Narda sa likod.
"They're so cute." Mahinang sabi ni Regina habang nakangiti.
"True, I want to carry Max pero baka magising sya kaya mamaya nalang."
Ginising nila ang dalawang nag-alaga at pinakain muna ito nila Narda.
"Salamat sa pag-aalaga sa kambal ah?" Sabi ni Regina.
"Nako wala yun ate Regina, hindi naman masyadong mahirap alagaan yung dalawa dahil higa lang ng higa at naglalaro lang silang dalawa." Sabi ni Ding.
"Ang cute nga po nila." Sabi naman ni Carmela.
"Mas cute ako." Nakasmirk na sabi ni Narda at nagpogi pose.
"Ay, bigla naman humangin." Umiiling na komento ni Ding.
"Tss to-" naputol ang sasabihin ni Narda nang tignan ito ni Regina.
"Shh! Ang ingay mo kasi." Sabi naman ni Narda kay Ding, habang si Carmela naman ay tawang tawa.
Sila ay nagkukuwentuhan lang nang may yumakap sa binti ni Narda, dahilan para magulat ito pero hindi naman nasipa.
"Oh, hi baby! You're awake na po pala." Masayang binuhat ni Narda si Maxine at hinalikan ang pisngi nito, habang si Maxine naman ay nakasimangot na isiniksik ang ulo nya sa leeg ni Narda.
Regina looked at them with a heart on her eyes. Invisible man pero kitang kita ito nila Ding at Carmela sa mga mata ni Regina.
"Ang sweet nyo talaga." Sabi naman ni Regina.
"Dada." Mahinang sabi ni Maxine.
"Bakit po dada yung tawag ni Max kay ate Narda? Si Florence din po ba dada din ang tawag?" Tanong ni Carmela.
"Hindi kasi nila mabanggit ang Narda, kaya yung last two letters lang ang binabanggit nila and yes, Florence is also calling her dada." Paliwanag ni Regina.
Tumango naman ang dalawa habang kumakain.
"Max and Dada will go out?" Malambing na tanong ni Narda at kinuha ang sumbrero ni Maxine.
"Dada."
Niyakap ni Narda si Regina at nagpaalam, "We will go out muna, mommy."
"Okay, take care you two." Sabi naman ni Regina at nakita nyang nagpabango muna si Narda bago umalis.
"Uy, mukhang maghahanap ng chicks, nagpabango." Sabi ni Ding, hinampas naman sya ni Carmela pero nang tignan sya ni Ding ay nagets nya agad.
Kumunot naman ang noo ni Regina. "Subukan nya lang, baka dun ko sya patirahin sa bahay ng chicks nya."
Natawa naman si Ding. "Oo nga tama yan."
"Hindi, joke lang. Hindi ko yun magagawa noh!" Sabi naman ni Regina.
Pero subukan nya lang talaga, baka isako ko silang dalawa.
