"Oy, nandito pala si Von," mapang-asar na sinabi ng magaling kong kaibigan.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxFsDu3WME
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnOB2oYxVk
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RWeeNp5aO
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm0swEUwVo
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBlgALapgm
"I never thought Khan would show that kind of thing," Roxianne says and continued, "did he tell you about it, didn't he?"
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmzSWN98Ce
I shake my head. "Let's just forget it. Besides, hindi naman kami. At hindi magiging kami."
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcvXkAHrEp
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."
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMGkm3tiwi
"What feelings?" I laugh.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX6rB1YpEN
"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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HpwdzfLKD
"Kumain ka na?" he asks.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD9RBVXOGG
"Tapos na," I lie.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1yjKAnK9Z
But my stomach growls. Darn it.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFF1Rb21Pz
He sneers. "Hey, follow me."
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49waZgqyD1
"Wait—" He grabs my hand and drag me into the kitchen. "You can take it off."
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4PeRVMxcK
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsVtQpovfY
"Khan texted me yesterday..." he begins.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqT5pQYreq
The fork hang in my mouth. I leer my sight at him, waiting for him to proceed. My neurons are alive again.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeFrBgAw8y
He prances a few feet, and leans in the sink. "Sinabi niya sa akin na pupunta raw kayo ng Bohol next week."
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ukni0aZyv
Nabitawan ko ang fork. "What?"
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrMeTE14J1
He chuckles. Jerk.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7onNT8sShn
"I wouldn't thought you will get this far..." He swallows a raspberry, staring at me in a mischievous way.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTfHTwICQD
I just gave him a flaming glare before I proceed swallowing my food.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4J2FzLa9C
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYijEWhB4D
"And Khan said..." he manages to even look at me in the eye. "Doon daw muna kayo for a couple of weeks."
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiUBWIklYw
Lumuwa ang panga ko. Bigla tuloy akong nabilaukan. The words aren't processing well.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEdsxKlqHL
He smirks. "You okay?"
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa01mukvw0
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAcp0jTYnZ
"Hoy, hindi mo na tatapusin ang pagkain mo?" mapang-asar niyang tanong.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwZ8Of2g8K
"Swallow them! I don't buy it," iyamot kong sinabi, at kapagkuwan ay mabilis na tumulak papunta sa loob ng aking silid.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQitc6M66Z
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwFSM3jCad
"Hey. 'Sup?" he greets.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviMgikhyaa
'Sup your ass.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKnR7vAecX
"Khan, what are these informations you told about my brother?" I ask.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSyJRps64y
"What information?"
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg0JkcwAN3
"Neil told me about the trip. And there's something you forgot to tell me about."
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoDVG5SfB3
"Huh? I-I'm confused. Enlighten me."
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XQ8wNeT5J
"You told him that we'll stay there for weeks."
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkUyGAq54V
He laughs. "Oh, is that it?"
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvbL2gt7iP
"Yes," I bark.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS7mpbgRix
"Honey, I said "I am," I didn't say you'll stay with me. Unless you like it."
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXV1a09eCH
Ugh! I'm going to beat that asshole.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Q6Ty6S0U
"Ah, gano'n ba? I'm sorry for the misunderstanding," I apologize.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsyeWIcGV8
"It's fine. Just tell him about it," he replies.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDQFWflHkr
"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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxM5XMDxzX
"Neil. You can't play your PS6," I yell.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RPc0WBkfQ
"I have it in here," he says through the intercom.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BSXymBYeS
Ugh! Such a lunatic.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkqdfEVw6w
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAW0AcXaKe
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4JcQ3lQme
"I think she already knew about us..." I overheard from the lady.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdyaekYEoU
Khan chuckles. "She knew nothing. Trust me."
