"Oy, nandito pala si Von," mapang-asar na sinabi ng magaling kong kaibigan.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNjjxe0NMx
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQYEEHUCpP
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZyPUyH77A
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocC8Pe0u5S
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnyejXRZs5
"I never thought Khan would show that kind of thing," Roxianne says and continued, "did he tell you about it, didn't he?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp9Hi2rzJk
I shake my head. "Let's just forget it. Besides, hindi naman kami. At hindi magiging kami."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhgJk8ro5C
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."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxAnZezOOk
"What feelings?" I laugh.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj5wpEey3c
"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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRB5ASB5l6
"Kumain ka na?" he asks.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xl5DR0jL1
"Tapos na," I lie.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW1H7Slqhk
But my stomach growls. Darn it.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsySUJQu7am
He sneers. "Hey, follow me."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXdAI64dD3
"Wait—" He grabs my hand and drag me into the kitchen. "You can take it off."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6x0sxlPHB
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QdUWNckw3
"Khan texted me yesterday..." he begins.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIFjTitvSB
The fork hang in my mouth. I leer my sight at him, waiting for him to proceed. My neurons are alive again.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrAVGALVZ5
He prances a few feet, and leans in the sink. "Sinabi niya sa akin na pupunta raw kayo ng Bohol next week."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytjIsQr00M
Nabitawan ko ang fork. "What?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlQpeTGQzM
He chuckles. Jerk.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO90Nu32Vel
"I wouldn't thought you will get this far..." He swallows a raspberry, staring at me in a mischievous way.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtqfXu4dks
I just gave him a flaming glare before I proceed swallowing my food.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMafNoRGuqu
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT2ec8n6lA
"And Khan said..." he manages to even look at me in the eye. "Doon daw muna kayo for a couple of weeks."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRU3msjBSh
Lumuwa ang panga ko. Bigla tuloy akong nabilaukan. The words aren't processing well.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEai3gsSYyl
He smirks. "You okay?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKjgBEqpvt
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8apnWi0i8H
"Hoy, hindi mo na tatapusin ang pagkain mo?" mapang-asar niyang tanong.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLAsun2kO3
"Swallow them! I don't buy it," iyamot kong sinabi, at kapagkuwan ay mabilis na tumulak papunta sa loob ng aking silid.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaFNCDJTnW
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32jS1neteG
"Hey. 'Sup?" he greets.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaIN55b49v
'Sup your ass.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN9R7ugx3j
"Khan, what are these informations you told about my brother?" I ask.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWIY0FDZIQ
"What information?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NaJ4N6EsX
"Neil told me about the trip. And there's something you forgot to tell me about."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLozOK61bm
"Huh? I-I'm confused. Enlighten me."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1znDpJpjpS
"You told him that we'll stay there for weeks."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb4SaAktIH
He laughs. "Oh, is that it?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxzqL0Des1
"Yes," I bark.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAjL52JR31
"Honey, I said "I am," I didn't say you'll stay with me. Unless you like it."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1pXC9hJ95
Ugh! I'm going to beat that asshole.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hj3HpgiF2
"Ah, gano'n ba? I'm sorry for the misunderstanding," I apologize.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQqvp2zrXY
"It's fine. Just tell him about it," he replies.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Oz4RcySH6
"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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjwYOTyx4Z
"Neil. You can't play your PS6," I yell.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pEdujDHvO
"I have it in here," he says through the intercom.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWstc6nwko
Ugh! Such a lunatic.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhKTjwIbPK
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFUdUJGrlV
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwhXRiO26q
"I think she already knew about us..." I overheard from the lady.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1Ntfg7PEV
Khan chuckles. "She knew nothing. Trust me."
