"Oy, nandito pala si Von," mapang-asar na sinabi ng magaling kong kaibigan.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPj7Ca5QQZ
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLCp1AjAdy
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5NU8MYChj
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbugu7ANyT
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNja2ELwB8
"I never thought Khan would show that kind of thing," Roxianne says and continued, "did he tell you about it, didn't he?"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfRytcm635
I shake my head. "Let's just forget it. Besides, hindi naman kami. At hindi magiging kami."
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qIi8EyQBB
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."
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCmhy1GutE
"What feelings?" I laugh.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF3L9VlC36
"Surely, you're fond of secluding it," she says, disappointed.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGwuLiXHCJ
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG84V6P81Q
"Kumain ka na?" he asks.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhG3hs4l3v
"Tapos na," I lie.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE21cnAcUz
But my stomach growls. Darn it.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUrgeOoLZg
He sneers. "Hey, follow me."
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLybx4PaOLC
"Wait—" He grabs my hand and drag me into the kitchen. "You can take it off."
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81k7XtOGJv
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8b7QABKPz
"Khan texted me yesterday..." he begins.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjyTslmOlp
The fork hang in my mouth. I leer my sight at him, waiting for him to proceed. My neurons are alive again.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gtLPvZUZj
He prances a few feet, and leans in the sink. "Sinabi niya sa akin na pupunta raw kayo ng Bohol next week."
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo2oSwndJU
Nabitawan ko ang fork. "What?"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5hHpUkMPE
He chuckles. Jerk.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAihuO1NRNq
"I wouldn't thought you will get this far..." He swallows a raspberry, staring at me in a mischievous way.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP4j6lkm42
I just gave him a flaming glare before I proceed swallowing my food.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqvO0sPj1s
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejFfqPltsw
"And Khan said..." he manages to even look at me in the eye. "Doon daw muna kayo for a couple of weeks."
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBMe74UsKL
Lumuwa ang panga ko. Bigla tuloy akong nabilaukan. The words aren't processing well.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcNafFAT9R
He smirks. "You okay?"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T7VQbw38G
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1FwxKLzUn
"Hoy, hindi mo na tatapusin ang pagkain mo?" mapang-asar niyang tanong.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt59XRTp5qX
"Swallow them! I don't buy it," iyamot kong sinabi, at kapagkuwan ay mabilis na tumulak papunta sa loob ng aking silid.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnI95vEwle
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8924soLVj
"Hey. 'Sup?" he greets.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWdYcFnzH1
'Sup your ass.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TSynAQEG5
"Khan, what are these informations you told about my brother?" I ask.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilN42oSf5p
"What information?"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7iyoeUu1L
"Neil told me about the trip. And there's something you forgot to tell me about."
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GGmiZ5mOB
"Huh? I-I'm confused. Enlighten me."
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcFFdPwmrZ
"You told him that we'll stay there for weeks."
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt5bO5mn6z
He laughs. "Oh, is that it?"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfboAVR7NG
"Yes," I bark.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqJ14lsIqn
"Honey, I said "I am," I didn't say you'll stay with me. Unless you like it."
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhMyjNXn9w
Ugh! I'm going to beat that asshole.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3xlnlKSPT
"Ah, gano'n ba? I'm sorry for the misunderstanding," I apologize.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKOrWn8ItV
"It's fine. Just tell him about it," he replies.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsyuAmz7mJ
"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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWpGBZyZ6c
"Neil. You can't play your PS6," I yell.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUsrXWrUOH
"I have it in here," he says through the intercom.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJGvuHjU9D
Ugh! Such a lunatic.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmH3sPBYJQ
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL3aqvDXfK
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuK6nL7n2T
"I think she already knew about us..." I overheard from the lady.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6OCYsKPYC
Khan chuckles. "She knew nothing. Trust me."
