Sound of Walking Away

Request "Yeah, okay. But damn, man. I can imagine you right now," Inigo said.The suppressed laugh is very evident in his voice. Mukha namang nainis ang nasa kabilang linya dahil mas lalo pa siyang natawa. Hindi na siya sumagot pa at ibinaba na ang tawag."Daan muna tayo sa Southbank." Sinulyapan niya ako na nasa front seat at si Agatha na nasa backseat. Tinanguan ko siya."Why? Bibili ka ng inumin?" Agatha asked."I'm going to pick up some lost dog," he chuckled."Oh... Better be fast, though. Thirty minutes na lang before next class."Iniliko ni Inigo sa tamang daan ang sasakyan para makapunta sa cafe.

Reply Apparently, Kuya Van knew right away that Javier and I became friends on Facebook. How did he know? That, I have no idea of. Seriously, if it came from Inigo, I will conclude na chismoso rin talaga ang mga lalaki. And it's not like it's much of a big deal. Pinagbabawalan lang talaga ako ni Kuya na tumanggap ng friend requests galing sa mga lalaki. E hindi ko naman talaga 'yon pinapansin kasi hindi ko naman mga kilala. I just accepted Javier's request because I kinda knew him.It has been three days since at mabuti na lang hindi naman masyado nagtanong pa ang parents ko tungkol doon. Ang OA lang talaga ni Kuya. Even Aspen argued that it's very much normal to have friends on Facebook.It's Saturday so I'm at home. I woke up late because I stayed up last night finishing a drama series. I'm just grateful na wala ako masya

Picture After classes, nangungulit pa rin si Agatha kung ano ang nangyari at bakit hindi natuloy. Inigo, on the other hand, was busy on his phone."He just said that something came up kaya hindi siya pwede," I explained. "It's fine. Don't make up scenarios in your head.""Oh... Baka nga importante para i-cancel niya. Anyway Gi, I'm sure babawi rin siya. Don't get too sad," she said."I'm not sad," protesta ko."Sure, babe. Tell that to yourself.""Really..." giit ko pero hindi na nakinig si Agatha.Okay. I think I really am just telling that to myself.Pagkarating namin sa baba ng building ay nagul

Fun "Gi, where's your luggage? Dalhin ko na pababa." Kuya Van appeared on my door, hawak sa kaliwang kamay ang isang maleta. Tinuro ko naman iyon sa kanya at nagpatuloy sa pagsisintas ng sapatos na suot ko.Today is our flight. Kaming buong pamilya ay aalis para sa maikling bakasyon. My Lola, who is in China, asked us to be there for her birthday. Which won't be just a one-day celebration because she'll host two parties for it. The remaining days of the trip, she wants to spend with us. It's autumn now in China so I'm thrilled.I asked Inigo last Sunday to pick up the paintings that I'm going to give out for the exhibit. It was my paintings back when I was in my previous university. Medyo gini-guilt trip niya pa ako sa pagtakas

Fixed Pinagpiyestahan nina Kuya Van iyong rebelasyon ni Dad. I have so many questions in my head! How, where and when did Austin talk to my parents?!I finished my food and quickly excused myself. I went to the pool and submerged my feet in the water. I was having my own peace when Aspen followed and sat beside me."You're anxious," he said after a few silent moments.That wasn't a question. Hindi ako nagsalita. Honestly, my thoughts went into a whirl. I mean, Austin's back in the Philippines, probably taking an exam and yet he has this effect on me! I was never the one to think about the future because it's an uncertain dimension but now I'm starting to. Because of what Dad said."He seems like an okay guy, you know."
