"Oy, nandito pala si Von," mapang-asar na sinabi ng magaling kong kaibigan.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wz8qTYYSR
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq49KqHyAi
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsNwKWWuB5
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQac02E0u0
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmG37euLG0
"I never thought Khan would show that kind of thing," Roxianne says and continued, "did he tell you about it, didn't he?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKlP3Q4Q13
I shake my head. "Let's just forget it. Besides, hindi naman kami. At hindi magiging kami."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsnuAGLGdf
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTsUfCfyFX
"What feelings?" I laugh.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1EZtYU5N4
"Surely, you're fond of secluding it," she says, disappointed.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3XQGpWNQW
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWER61CrzYZ
"Kumain ka na?" he asks.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RWklcpzgv
"Tapos na," I lie.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD3Ah1P6zC
But my stomach growls. Darn it.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLpzIrPckC
He sneers. "Hey, follow me."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54RaRi7uZO
"Wait—" He grabs my hand and drag me into the kitchen. "You can take it off."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgBXRxONh5
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu3BEw6HK6
"Khan texted me yesterday..." he begins.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsAogl5A68
The fork hang in my mouth. I leer my sight at him, waiting for him to proceed. My neurons are alive again.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRHwTtWXbJ
He prances a few feet, and leans in the sink. "Sinabi niya sa akin na pupunta raw kayo ng Bohol next week."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkefcJenZyK
Nabitawan ko ang fork. "What?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvF4AGREtt
He chuckles. Jerk.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2yArhpCtH
"I wouldn't thought you will get this far..." He swallows a raspberry, staring at me in a mischievous way.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetidYqWbAJ
I just gave him a flaming glare before I proceed swallowing my food.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3qvo8cyBA
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLeSHL8Ul7
"And Khan said..." he manages to even look at me in the eye. "Doon daw muna kayo for a couple of weeks."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqRfUe7Q02
Lumuwa ang panga ko. Bigla tuloy akong nabilaukan. The words aren't processing well.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfARHdfY1il
He smirks. "You okay?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaUMMwkMgQ
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotqfi8NRD9
"Hoy, hindi mo na tatapusin ang pagkain mo?" mapang-asar niyang tanong.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojzmhmKIOJ
"Swallow them! I don't buy it," iyamot kong sinabi, at kapagkuwan ay mabilis na tumulak papunta sa loob ng aking silid.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVQJ2pKYAc
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSvDx18sZk
"Hey. 'Sup?" he greets.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaqw1D95Yp
'Sup your ass.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8AH2pA1zM
"Khan, what are these informations you told about my brother?" I ask.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCauBcYS0Fh
"What information?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tTCiK0dC1
"Neil told me about the trip. And there's something you forgot to tell me about."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWS8JNfKav
"Huh? I-I'm confused. Enlighten me."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnzVlLhxXz
"You told him that we'll stay there for weeks."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl29VQs1NY
He laughs. "Oh, is that it?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtXG7I9K5f
"Yes," I bark.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvPNHdPXuU
"Honey, I said "I am," I didn't say you'll stay with me. Unless you like it."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMbayTx2jh
Ugh! I'm going to beat that asshole.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPkCrSmllO
"Ah, gano'n ba? I'm sorry for the misunderstanding," I apologize.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemZLjJ3nPW
"It's fine. Just tell him about it," he replies.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPJyfsTOc4
"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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0FIrA4tz4
"Neil. You can't play your PS6," I yell.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFGR7GDOzN
"I have it in here," he says through the intercom.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU80L0H0OhX
Ugh! Such a lunatic.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK1FWOhdw9
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe1t52B4Rl
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6TmcNwR4T
"I think she already knew about us..." I overheard from the lady.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1dFavJDmU
Khan chuckles. "She knew nothing. Trust me."
