"Dude, yung crush mo ‘yon ‘di ba?" bulong ni Mateo.
I glance at the group of girls coming our way, they sit on the couch near us. One of them caught my attention, it's her again, the only woman that caught my attention. I didn't respond to Mateo, nanatili akong nakaupo roon habang pasimpleng nakatanaw sakaniya. But damn, hindi nakakatulong ang ingay ni Paul at Davis.
"Sino bang type mo dyan, bro?" Paul asked, he's not yet wasted, they are in their usual self, mahilig mangolekta ng babae.
I shoot dagger-like stares at them but it seems like they didn't even care. I don't know why we ended up being friends, si Mateo ang pinakamalapit sa’kin at nakilala ko lang si Paul at Davis nitong college na. Nakakasundo ko sila sa ibang bagay pero pagdating sa trip nilang manggago ng mga babae, iwas ako sa gano’n. I even stopped them but they didn't listen to me.
"Yung naka black, pare, yung labas yung likod. Kaso.. mukhang masungit, e. Baka hindi ako pansinin nyan,” Davis said, he looks nervous.
That's Treia, si Treia yung babaeng tinutukoy niya. I laughed in my mind, hindi ka talaga papansinin nyan. Ako nga, hindi tumalab.. Ikaw pa kaya? Paul gave him advices on how to win a girl's heart. Hindi pa rin maalis sa isip ko ang pagkabahala dahil sa plano nila. I cannot let them hurt the girl that I love, kahit pa kagat ng langgam lang 'yan, magkakamatayan kami.
"Dude, kahit anong sungit nyan, bibigay rin 'yan. Kailangan cool ka lang, 'wag mong ipahalata na gustong gusto mo siya dahil kapag nahalata niya ‘yan, wala na bro, olats na!" Paul said before drinking the remaining liquor on his glass.
Hindi ko na kaya pang pakinggan ang mga sinasabi nila. I stood up and walk my way up to the smoking area. Narinig ko pa ang pagtawag ni Mateo pero hindi ko ito nilingon. I'm expecting Treia to notice me but she didn't even glance at my way. Wala masyadong tao sa smoking area kaya roon na muna ako tumambay. I already quit smoking years ago, thanks to her.
I sat on the long chair and lean my head at the back of it. Pumikit din ako para magpahinga, it's been a tiring day because of exams, kung hindi pa 'ko pinilit ni Mateo na sumama ngayon, hindi ko pa makikita si Treia. I should thank him for that.
After few minutes, I heard someone opening the glass door. I didn't bother to open my eyes, nanatili itong nakapikit at hindi na inalam kung sinong pumasok.
"Nagkayayaan mag bar sila Ken, ihahatid naman ako ni Mads pauwi don't worry."
I gulped the moment I heard that voice. That is her voice, hindi ako pwedeng magkamali. Naramdaman kong umupo siya sa tabi ko, the distance between us isn't helping, alam kong medyo malayo pa kami but this is the third time we've become this near.
Gusto kong matawa nang marinig sa kabilang linya ang sigaw ng kapatid niya, mabuti at napigilan ko. I just listened to them while my eyes are still close. I never knew she has sense of humor, akala ko parati lang siyang seryoso at hindi nagbibiro. Naramdaman kong gumalaw ng konti ang upuan, sumandal din yata siya. I badly want to open my eyes but I stopped myself from doing that, ayokong makita siya dahil hindi ko alam kung ano ang iaakto ko sa harap niya.
Nakilala niya kaya ako? I hope so.. It's getting a little harder not to open my eyes, ramdam kong tinitingnan niya 'ko ngayon, wala naman akong magawa kundi manatiling nakapikit dahil baka malaman niyang alam ko ang ginagawa niya. Somehow, I feel happy. She's paying attention to me now, improving na ba 'ko?
After few minutes, I heard her coughing. I was eager to open my eyes so I did. She's coughing intentionally to get the attention of the other man standing on the side, naninigarilyo ito at lahat ng usok ay napupunta sa banda namin. She doesn't like the smell of smoke coming from the cigarette, alam kong gusto niya lang patigilin yung lalaki kaya nag fake cough siya and she get what she wants. The guy throw his cigarette on the floor, stepped on it before he went out of the smoking area.
I closed my eyes immediately after that, I don't want to see her eyes, baka manlambot ako bigla rito.
"Ang baho, amoy usok, nakakainis!" she ranted.
She stood up, I heard her footsteps.. Teka, aalis na ba siya? No way, I want to talk to her. I think of right words to say para manatili pa siya rito at kausapin ako.
"This is a smoking area, miss. Kung ayaw mong maka-amoy ng usok, then this place isn't yours. You shouldn't be here..” shit. Fucking shit!
I think I picked the wrong words, hindi siya nagsalita at narinig ko nalang ang pagsara ng glass door. I shouldn't said that, mas lumabo yata ang tiyansang mapansin niya 'ko.
Bumalik ako sa table namin, she noticed me. She looks irritated because of me, mas lalo tuloy akong nainis sa inasta ko. My friends aren't helping, Davis stood up and offered her a glass of liquor. I looked away, I know she wouldn't accept his offer.. But I guess I'm wrong, napatingin ako sakanila nang maghiyawan ang mga kaibigan ko. She fucking took the glass, they fucking shook hands! I saw her glance at me so I shot my brow up and looked away.
"Bro, easy ka lang. Baka mabasag mo 'yang baso..” Mateo said mockingly, he isn't helping!
Kalaunan ay nagpasya kaming umuwi na. We are with them the whole night because my friend, Paul, is hitting on one of her friend, Kendall, she's one of our schoolmate. I gazed at her the whole time, she's standing next to her friend while waiting outside the hotel. She looks tired..

Isaiah’s Point of View "I break hearts..” I thought she's just kidding when she said that, never thought it was real. We became close as weeks passed by. It started when I lend her my clothes, I intentionally forget to took it from her so that I could get the chance to be with her again. As days passes by, she became comfortable with me. I worked really hard to gain her trust, it's not that easy but I manage to do it. All my life, I'm so used to be called Nikolai or Niko but here's Treia, she chose to call me Isaiah instead. I really hated that name before but hearing her calling me that way, God knows how much I thank my parents for giving me such name. It is like a music to my ears and everytime she's calling me that way, I felt alive. She's the only one who have the privilege to call me that.

"MAGPAPAHANDA na ba 'ko ng red carpet para sa pag-uwi mo?" malokong sambit nito mula sa kabilang linya. Napairap ako dahil sa sinabi niya, someone's calling me from behind but I didn't dare face whoever that person is. It is still my break time, did they forgot it? "Fuck you, Rio!" tugon ko rito. I heard him chuckled on the other line, kahit kailan talaga, nakakairita pa rin ang tawa niya. "Madame Sage, the boss is waiting for you," wika ng isang babaeng hindi ko matandaan ang pangalan.

"Fuck you, Almario! What's this, huh?" singhal ko rito. Hinampas ko siya sa braso, wala akong pake kung masaktan siya. Mukhang hindi niya naman iniinda yon kaya mas nilakasan ko pa. This jerk planned this. "Chill, Treia.. they just want to surprise you!" aniya, natatawa pa. Medyo kumalma na 'ko at inayos ang sarili. Nagdadalawang isip pa rin kung tutuloy ba o hindi. "Wala siya, I assure you. I even told your sister not to invite or tell him kaya sigurado akong wala siya d'yan," aniya.

Hapon na nang matapos ang exam, walang minuto na hindi sumakit ang ulo ko ngayong araw. Dagdagan pa nitong mga kaklase kong nagbabangayan sa kung anong tamang sagot sa exam kanina. Nagmamadali man ay nagawa ko pa rin silang pakinggan. "B is the right answer, yun ang sinagot ko," sambit nung isa sa top student na sinundan niya ng mga paliwanag kung paanong naging B ang sagot. Agad namang umapela ang President namin na s'yang nangunguna sa ranking. "D ang sagot! Hindi ako pwedeng magkamali," aniya na dinugtungan din ng paliwanag. Nakinig pa 'ko sakanila habang inaayos ko ang mga gamit, inaalala ko rin ang letrang isinagot ko doon sa pinakamahirap na tanong na s'yang pinagtatal

Matapos naming kumain ay nag-picture naman kami para may remembrance. Nagtagal pa kami roon bago nagpasyang bumaba sa cloud nine na sinasabi nila."Wala ba silang anniversary promo? Ang dami natin tapos ako talaga ang sinabi n'yong may birthday? Mga gaga na 'to!" si Madison. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi niya matanggap na naisahan namin siya. Labag sa loob nito ang mga nangyari kanina kaya kahit ang pagtikim sa cake na yon ay hindi niya nagawa, wine nalang ang nilantakan niya. "Si Treia nga sana, e. Tutal makapal naman ang mukha niya kaso ikaw ang naka red ngayon, mas mukhang ikaw ang may birthday kaya ikaw nalang," sambit ni Adeline na sinundan ng tawanan. Nasa elevator na kami at napaka-inga

Clearance day kaya narito kami ni Madison sa US short for University of the South o mas kilala sa tawag na Silangan. Nandito ako sa isang bench sa tapat ng Engineering Department, hinihintay si Madison dahil may isang subject pa s'yang papipirmahan sa professor nila. White tank top at high-waisted maong short ang suot ko, pinatungan ko rin ng gray cardigan dahil masakit sa balat ang araw ngayon. Tanging black slingbag lang ang dala ko at ang sunglasses ko. Motor kasi ang dala ni Mads ngayon at since nasa iisang subdivision lang kami, palagi niya 'kong sinasabay pagpasok at pauwi.I have a car before but because of one incident, my parents did not allow me to have one again. I understand them naman and I don't think I can drive again after everything that happened in the past. It caused me trauma.&nb

"Busy yan si Chantreia sa theater nila kaya hindi yan makakapunta," sambit ni Adeline.Dahil nabanggit ang pangalan ko, napaangat ako ng tingin at bahagyang napakunot ang noo. Makakapunta saan?"Anong meron?" curious kong tanong.Inirapan lang ako ni Madison na parang sinasabing 'ayan, hindi ka kasi nakikinig, tanga'. Hindi ko na kasi narinig ang mga sinasabi nila, wala rin akong pake sa kung ano 'yon pero dahil nabanggit ang pangalan ko, naisipan kong itanong."Birthday ni Mateo sa Saturday, punta ka," masiglang sambit ni Davis, ibang iba sa energy niya noong nakaraan. Siguro nagbabago ang energy niya tuwing nakakainom, bakit parang mas matino siya tuwing nakainom? Ang daldal niya kapag di nakakainom."Ikaw ba si Mateo? Bat ikaw nag-iimbita," masungit kong sabi sak

Isaiah’s Point of ViewDays went slowly, ganoon yata talaga kapag may inaabangan kang araw, mas bumabagal ang oras. We are here at the plaza waiting for the event to start. I chose the seat near the stage para makita ko siya nang malapitan, I want to see her performing. The other reason is I want her to see me watching and supporting her."Uy, pre! Ayan na yung crush mo, yung crush mo pre! Whoa, go crush ni Nikolai!" sigaw ni Mateo. Sana pala hindi ko na sinama ang ungas na 'to.God knows how many times I cursed Mateo in my mind. Mabuti nalang at maingay ang crowd, natatabunan ang sigaw niya. I'm watching my girl intently as she performed, she act, dance and sang and I can't help but to be proud of her. Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses kong isinigaw ang pangalan niya o kung ilang beses akong napapalaklak. I feel l

I've known them for years because they usually hang out in our house.The girl who was about to go upstairs suddenly stopped walking and faced us.

Wait, is she serious?"Sa tingin mo matutuwa kami knowing na aalis ka?" si Iris. Mukhang seryoso ito at galit na nakatingin sa'kin.Natahimik ako dahil doon. Kakaibang despidida party yata ang napuntahan ko. Magsasalita na sana ako nang maunahan ako ni Mads."Aalis siya? Saan ka pupunta?" inosenteng tanong nito.Napa-face palm ako, binatukan naman siya ni Kendall at si Grasya na nag-walk out ay tumawa ng malakas, rinig na rinig siya sa buong penthouse.

Muntik na 'kong masamid dahil sa sinabi niya. They doesn't know about what happened to us, wala rin akong balak sabihin sa kahit na kanino. As much as possible, I want to keep our problems. Baka kasi mas lalo lang lumaki kapag pinagsabi namin sa iba, mas maraming nakakaalam, mas magulo.Lumipas ang mga araw, pinayagan nang umuwi si Papa dahil maayos na ang lagay nito ngunit hindi muna siya pwedeng pumasok sa trabaho dahil kailangan niya pang magpahinga ng ilang araw. Isaiah is always sending me a message, tuloy tuloy pa rin siya sa pagpapaalala sa'kin sa mga dapat kong gawin araw-araw. Minsan nga nakakalimutan ko nang kumain pero dahil sa message niya, bigla kong naaalala. Tinupad niya naman yung pakiusap ko na huwag muna siyang magpakita sa'kin at sa ilang araw na 'yon, nakapag-isip isip na 'ko.I already booked a ticket, bukas ng gabi na ang flight namin papunta sa New York, sabay kami ni Ri

I couldn't contain it, I just want to cry and cry all day pero pinigilan ko dahil ayokong makita niyang umiiyak ako. Ayokong makita niyang mahina ako ngayon."You knew yet you didn't even told me? How dare you, Isaiah!" my voice thundered.Agad na napalitan ng pagkabahala ang itsura niya. Lumapit ito sa akin para pakalmahin ako pero bawat pagdampi ng kamay niya sa balat ko, siya namang pag-iwas ko. Panay ang paghampas ko rito, hindi ko na naisip kung nasasaktan ba siya kasi ako, sobrang nasasaktan ako!I told him everything, wala akong nilihim sakaniya. Alam niya kung gaano ko kagustong malaman ang dahilan kung bakit ayaw sa'kin ng pamilya ko, alam niya kung gaano ako katakot makagawa ng pagkakamali dahil baka tuluyan na nila akong hindi tanggapin. Alam niya rin kung gaano ako

Nagpasya akong umalis sa hospital noong araw na 'yon, I drive all the way to Isaiah. Sigurado akong nasa condo lang siya. He's sick, mag-isa lang siya roon kaya walang nag-aalaga sakaniya. I felt bad becase of it, I should be the one to take care of him, ni hindi niya sinabing may sakit pala siya. The hell, Treia, you're out of your fucking mind for the past days!Dumaan ako sa fastfood restaurant at pharmacy para bumili ng makakain at ng gamot. I have spare key kaya madali kong nabuksan ang room niya. I saw him on the couch nakahiga ito at hindi pa nagpalit ng damit, mukhang kagagaling lang sa trabaho. He looks tired and cold, nakayakap siya sa sarili niya at nanginginig pa.My baby's sick.Ibinaba ko ang mga binili ko at agad na nagtungo sakaniya. I held his cheeks, mainit ito.

Kararating lang namin sa ospital, my father is in the ICU, fighting for his life. Sumabay nalang ako kay Isaiah patungo rito, hindi ko kasi alam kung kaya ko bang mag drive knowing that one of the important person in my life is in danger. Iniwan namin ang kotse ko roon, he promised to take care of that. Isaiah never leave my side, my mother is also here with us, nakaupo lang kami sa labas ng ICU habang hinihintay na matapos ang operasyon. Si Ate naman hinatid daw pauwi si bunso pauwi. No one told me what happened to Papa, parang iwas silang lahat sa'kin nang dumating ako, even my mother.Napatayo kami nang makarinig ng ingay, patungo sa'min si Tita at mukhang galit na galit. Huminto siya sa harap ko, akmang sasampalin na 'ko ngunit naiwan sa ere ang kamay niya at dinuro-duro nalang ako nang makita kung sinong nasa tabi ko."You.. this is all your fault!" her voice thundered.
