THIRTEEN

DANIEL'S POV

"THANKS for dropping me by, Neil, and for accompanying me for this day. Don’t worry I will not bother you while I am here in the Philippines. I think I will just fly back in the States, next week. Bye, see you again."

Ngumiti lang ako kay Faith. I am also thankful that she understand my part and for accepting our relationship to be just friends.

"Still call me if you need a friend," iyon lang at pinaandar ko na ang sasakyan ko. I already want to go home… nami-miss ko na si Ysabel. I'll explain na lang sa kaniya kung bakit hindi ako natuloy sa Batangas.

May naka-park na sasakyan sa harap ng bahay namin. Sino naman kaya ang bisita ni Ysabel this time of the night. Alas-siete na kaya.

Kaya agad akong pumasok sa bahay ng maiparada ko ang sasakyan sa garahe. And I hear laughters in the sala at nakita ko roon si Ysabel at Nica, masayang nagtatawanan while doing some sewing.
