"Oy, nandito pala si Von," mapang-asar na sinabi ng magaling kong kaibigan.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6YXTbOHqP
It's not that I'm averting to cross our path. I just need peace of mind. But, how can I be able to achieve that, when there's this woman, who puts effort to make a day unusual? Ah! I'm so dead.

"Hi, Ran," he said, hesitant.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHVUl5wy8u
I just nodded. Naupo rin naman siya sa tabi ko habang ang dalagita ay panay ang ngisi habang nakikita akong nahihirapan sa situwasyon. Next minute fled, abala sa pag-uusap ang dalawa at 'di nakalampas sa mga mata ko ang palihim na pagsulyap ng lalaking nasa tabi ko. Hindi ko na lang din inabala dahil baka masayang lang ang oras, I just scrolled down when I saw a photo of Khan having a girl beside him. My heart skipped a bit.

"Ran, you okay?" agad na tanong ni Von sa akin.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjcJqWFr34
I nodded, gingerly. But I doubt they would believe it. Basi pa lang sa ekspresyon ko, ay halata nang hindi talaga ako okay. The audacity of this man asks me if I was okay? How dare him! After he cheated on me for months. Makabili nga ng pagmumukhang iyan. Ang kapal, e.

"Oh, my gosh!" agad na tinuran ni Roxianne, habang abala ako sa pag-divert ng aking atensiyon sa ibang bagay. I think she knew it na rin.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ayzq4Q8L4
I glanced at her. She gives me a teasing smile. I take a deep breath before rearranging my thoughts. Baka kasama iyon ng mga kapatid niya. That was just a picture. A picture. Mas lalo akong naiinis nang maalala ang nakita kanina.

Ilang oras lang ay nauna na rin kaming umalis, agad din namang lumisan ang magaling kong ex. I wonder kung bakit. Sa bagay, ilang taon na rin naman since naging kami. The rest is history.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMGbaNWk1b
"I never thought Khan would show that kind of thing," Roxianne says and continued, "did he tell you about it, didn't he?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7GmxxN4uP
I shake my head. "Let's just forget it. Besides, hindi naman kami. At hindi magiging kami."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRX79UHhRc
She rolls her eyes, sighing. "Ewan ko sa 'yo, Ran. Kung ako sa 'yo, aminin ko na lang ang feelings ko bago pa ako magsisi sa huli."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6LSD5mi5I
"What feelings?" I laugh.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTNKYKwNV6
"Surely, you're fond of secluding it," she says, disappointed.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKr6oB1A0B
Nang makauwi sa bahay, buti at nakauwi na rin naman ang kapatid ko. Unang bumungad sa akin ang nakakainis niyang tingin. Sa inis ko ay naibato ko tuloy siya ng unan. Tumawa naman ang kurimaw. Such a dick.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwXGSFpFWH
"Kumain ka na?" he asks.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNs76w5tXY
"Tapos na," I lie.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifQ68CYb4V
But my stomach growls. Darn it.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjHhH9lmMM
He sneers. "Hey, follow me."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jQGZynvMs
"Wait—" He grabs my hand and drag me into the kitchen. "You can take it off."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VhKwVK6Jw
Agad din naman niyang inalis ang kamay. In fairness, hindi na tamad ang isang 'to. May nakita akong hinanda siyang ulam. He really grown up to be a man. Couldn't be proud of him.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WysyZBD7A
"Khan texted me yesterday..." he begins.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrVOsuQ4P4
The fork hang in my mouth. I leer my sight at him, waiting for him to proceed. My neurons are alive again.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50yjLI2YGP
He prances a few feet, and leans in the sink. "Sinabi niya sa akin na pupunta raw kayo ng Bohol next week."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebRz9J1idT
Nabitawan ko ang fork. "What?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCHw4Noxxp
He chuckles. Jerk.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FSepq1vcC
"I wouldn't thought you will get this far..." He swallows a raspberry, staring at me in a mischievous way.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWDFJYhVvE
I just gave him a flaming glare before I proceed swallowing my food.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDdZhLtByr
The audacity! Bakit next week? Gosh! Next week na ang exams namin. Ang hilig talaga niyang mag-ditch ng examination day. Half-half pa naman ang exam namin. Kainis kasing matandang 'yon, e. Gano'n na siguro 'pag matanda na, nagiging ulyanin. Pero 'di ko naman nilalahat. Just some of them.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv3Okd5JcS
"And Khan said..." he manages to even look at me in the eye. "Doon daw muna kayo for a couple of weeks."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds7b6GutkR
Lumuwa ang panga ko. Bigla tuloy akong nabilaukan. The words aren't processing well.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeVIcyTw2E
He smirks. "You okay?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V7Jf0InwF
Nilagok ko ang isang basong tubig. Halos mahingal na ako pero 'di bale na. But wait—staying? There? For weeks? What got to his mind thinking about it? I need to talk to him.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54ImZVVhZw
"Hoy, hindi mo na tatapusin ang pagkain mo?" mapang-asar niyang tanong.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cOultADfL
"Swallow them! I don't buy it," iyamot kong sinabi, at kapagkuwan ay mabilis na tumulak papunta sa loob ng aking silid.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHcFTOkp4o
I dial Khan's cell. It rang twice. Thrice. And even fourth times, before he picked it up. This man is getting into my nerves.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yky0pC7l3
"Hey. 'Sup?" he greets.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduvZjCP2cu
'Sup your ass.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau6gHdFt0Y
"Khan, what are these informations you told about my brother?" I ask.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLCv7qQ0NE
"What information?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI60ljsdtk1
"Neil told me about the trip. And there's something you forgot to tell me about."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqBYNPby7H
"Huh? I-I'm confused. Enlighten me."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF42PvR3Ob
"You told him that we'll stay there for weeks."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4CT3nOcKf
He laughs. "Oh, is that it?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMDcM0aqPd
"Yes," I bark.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzp7lfTast
"Honey, I said "I am," I didn't say you'll stay with me. Unless you like it."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUd8uOzVqw
Ugh! I'm going to beat that asshole.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbRdHpUHm9
"Ah, gano'n ba? I'm sorry for the misunderstanding," I apologize.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLHyyBK0Zq
"It's fine. Just tell him about it," he replies.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLQgBBigAr
"I will. Sorry again." I hang up the call, and scurry to grab my brother's collar. But he isn't around. I wonder where he is now, after he found out that I will going to know about these misinformations he just gave me.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc2idePNDu
"Neil. You can't play your PS6," I yell.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27DVtTOLPE
"I have it in here," he says through the intercom.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxkNnNbQx1
Ugh! Such a lunatic.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmzNHvBQ19
After my brother ruined my day, I went to UP Diliman. I don't know whether Khan is still in there or he's already got out. But as I caught his car a few feet away, I march onto the concrete floor until I saw him leaning against the tree.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkxNxiXcQv
I was about to speak when I saw him with a girl. I halt as my mouth stiffens. I don't know whether should I run or stay in my position.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjqvIHOy2q
"I think she already knew about us..." I overheard from the lady.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6gyo8gctR
Khan chuckles. "She knew nothing. Trust me."
