"Oy, nandito pala si Von," mapang-asar na sinabi ng magaling kong kaibigan.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzYrQ5FjLa
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzioT6AgR4
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPoiHAZoSU
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrMn9vCyi7
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXll5KwcK1b
"I never thought Khan would show that kind of thing," Roxianne says and continued, "did he tell you about it, didn't he?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1ijJSv8TE
I shake my head. "Let's just forget it. Besides, hindi naman kami. At hindi magiging kami."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVg6HM3qgg
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."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn15JAlEn98
"What feelings?" I laugh.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxFAj1CdXs
"Surely, you're fond of secluding it," she says, disappointed.

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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB2EU8gS5v
"Kumain ka na?" he asks.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsEO0ZmNks
"Tapos na," I lie.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4f2Fc0S1D
But my stomach growls. Darn it.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Xw80kvHP
He sneers. "Hey, follow me."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd0iVEaicA
"Wait—" He grabs my hand and drag me into the kitchen. "You can take it off."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f1YZRxao6
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl6qIralcU
"Khan texted me yesterday..." he begins.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9AomvagSE
The fork hang in my mouth. I leer my sight at him, waiting for him to proceed. My neurons are alive again.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGub4H4Hiok
He prances a few feet, and leans in the sink. "Sinabi niya sa akin na pupunta raw kayo ng Bohol next week."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6FjROr0cy
Nabitawan ko ang fork. "What?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJL949BhUR
He chuckles. Jerk.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlbUmpADJ1
"I wouldn't thought you will get this far..." He swallows a raspberry, staring at me in a mischievous way.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeirfEDmgHt
I just gave him a flaming glare before I proceed swallowing my food.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnWuFVOvMk
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP8THhqDnC
"And Khan said..." he manages to even look at me in the eye. "Doon daw muna kayo for a couple of weeks."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSV7v8CBSo
Lumuwa ang panga ko. Bigla tuloy akong nabilaukan. The words aren't processing well.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdJB6GCrRS
He smirks. "You okay?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRRVOh2Qjx
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eI0GKZLYC
"Hoy, hindi mo na tatapusin ang pagkain mo?" mapang-asar niyang tanong.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXOC4EMXYR
"Swallow them! I don't buy it," iyamot kong sinabi, at kapagkuwan ay mabilis na tumulak papunta sa loob ng aking silid.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RrZBCJ779
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrn1aXqQ3B
"Hey. 'Sup?" he greets.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYRMEaGvg2
'Sup your ass.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P6ROrMt27
"Khan, what are these informations you told about my brother?" I ask.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HuBSBrt1G
"What information?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQf4xJPgD4
"Neil told me about the trip. And there's something you forgot to tell me about."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHwF0aWfyl
"Huh? I-I'm confused. Enlighten me."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij2i8VgxQh
"You told him that we'll stay there for weeks."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0GB3hSt2R
He laughs. "Oh, is that it?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK3N5i9q3l
"Yes," I bark.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVzD9B53gx
"Honey, I said "I am," I didn't say you'll stay with me. Unless you like it."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrchPRaZcd
Ugh! I'm going to beat that asshole.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqDXLNYezU
"Ah, gano'n ba? I'm sorry for the misunderstanding," I apologize.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXsO8p8SPv
"It's fine. Just tell him about it," he replies.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEmbQSSijb
"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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHEhwZYgt4
"Neil. You can't play your PS6," I yell.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YjPI8jQyz
"I have it in here," he says through the intercom.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZcYF3m3b4
Ugh! Such a lunatic.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRbIQ7oNre
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxSWVV7j0o
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuNeGLnIwK
"I think she already knew about us..." I overheard from the lady.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLKXDNFoXs
Khan chuckles. "She knew nothing. Trust me."
