I put my bag on my lap then looked at the menu.
We are here in a restaurant for our very important meeting. Elizar made a private room reservation.
It was a japanse style restaurant but they offer different kind of food.
"Of course." He replied.
Ibinaba ko ang bag ko sa'king tabi habang pinagmamasdan ang pagkain menu.
"Really, if not I will skin you alive. I missed our family dinner for this." I said.

PAGKA-UWI agad namin sa bahay nag-umpisa kong maglinis. I was really stressed because of that gathering. Inisis ko ang sahig kahit na ito ay malinis, sa sahig ko ibinunton ang aking galit. Hanggang sa makita ako ni Sergei na kababalik lang mula sa pagtra-trabaho habang si Mancini naman ay nag-iisis rin ng sahig. "Ano nangyayari sa inyo? Ba't kayo naglilinis? Gabing-gabi na." Gulat na saad nito. Ngumiti ako at nagpunas ng pawis. "Bored lang ako." Tinawanan niya lang ako at inabot ang grocery na dala niya.

Pina-upo ako ni Dev sa kaniyang hita habang siya naman ay nakaluhod sa sahig. Pinagsasampal ko na ang pisnge ko para hindi matawa pero sa tuwing nakikita ko si Dev parang sinasapian ako ng demonyo. Ambabaw naman ng kasiyahan ko. "Okay, I'm done laughing. I'll laugh at you later in our house." I said and stood up. Oh, fuck. That was smooth. "Our house, huh." I saw him grinned.

SHE'S there, I could touch her... She's real. I smiled as soon as I saw Elara smile, I unconsciously smiled as well. The cold dusk sky's wind run through our skin.
