"Oy, nandito pala si Von," mapang-asar na sinabi ng magaling kong kaibigan.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBKnoCDCPh
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge2eYrRSn3
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9snaYdDBG
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcnEOaWvNT
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVzQQliOSg
"I never thought Khan would show that kind of thing," Roxianne says and continued, "did he tell you about it, didn't he?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZG7uNneiV
I shake my head. "Let's just forget it. Besides, hindi naman kami. At hindi magiging kami."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgzDIR8cuG
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."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr35uMpkXD
"What feelings?" I laugh.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUD7t8zM2z
"Surely, you're fond of secluding it," she says, disappointed.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3QyKgg5pH
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Lcag3s2J
"Kumain ka na?" he asks.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEW44yvFAc
"Tapos na," I lie.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88X2WY6Pb5
But my stomach growls. Darn it.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBHfhQGyTW
He sneers. "Hey, follow me."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmd6tWFxCr
"Wait—" He grabs my hand and drag me into the kitchen. "You can take it off."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyZYtGhpxV
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GldiyJzKZ
"Khan texted me yesterday..." he begins.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1vBuYzJ6U
The fork hang in my mouth. I leer my sight at him, waiting for him to proceed. My neurons are alive again.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l73zLw011
He prances a few feet, and leans in the sink. "Sinabi niya sa akin na pupunta raw kayo ng Bohol next week."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJvjHtoJCs
Nabitawan ko ang fork. "What?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAqwYPt6Q3
He chuckles. Jerk.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk5C0tX1nZ
"I wouldn't thought you will get this far..." He swallows a raspberry, staring at me in a mischievous way.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiofMZxZnez
I just gave him a flaming glare before I proceed swallowing my food.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtLT95UqhZ
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmTddE8Mu0
"And Khan said..." he manages to even look at me in the eye. "Doon daw muna kayo for a couple of weeks."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVNnByXniV
Lumuwa ang panga ko. Bigla tuloy akong nabilaukan. The words aren't processing well.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0TxcTKbU5
He smirks. "You okay?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgVAYzKFWn
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGcm1y6Ftd
"Hoy, hindi mo na tatapusin ang pagkain mo?" mapang-asar niyang tanong.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM97ScNNwA
"Swallow them! I don't buy it," iyamot kong sinabi, at kapagkuwan ay mabilis na tumulak papunta sa loob ng aking silid.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd330hR8dgb
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylXvZ7hXel
"Hey. 'Sup?" he greets.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatggmaBXJT
'Sup your ass.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r8Q2Xj8ND
"Khan, what are these informations you told about my brother?" I ask.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5M586fwaS
"What information?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrZiQrd8y1
"Neil told me about the trip. And there's something you forgot to tell me about."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreeIm7YY92
"Huh? I-I'm confused. Enlighten me."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbNRUtQIwy
"You told him that we'll stay there for weeks."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp6OwIXQFl
He laughs. "Oh, is that it?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlKLGqonmQ
"Yes," I bark.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsdWdeXQzv
"Honey, I said "I am," I didn't say you'll stay with me. Unless you like it."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStUVBfiyeQ
Ugh! I'm going to beat that asshole.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDpop5xNph
"Ah, gano'n ba? I'm sorry for the misunderstanding," I apologize.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGFO4xa6GQ
"It's fine. Just tell him about it," he replies.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZHpYRS1gr
"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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3D8YkpfEQ
"Neil. You can't play your PS6," I yell.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoWXGk8qf0
"I have it in here," he says through the intercom.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfJoGXkHzo
Ugh! Such a lunatic.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD8TNhPXh6
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2radK1des
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDrTddVNbi
"I think she already knew about us..." I overheard from the lady.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5ISdjKr9j
Khan chuckles. "She knew nothing. Trust me."
