โTruth or dare, Lau?โNapatingin ako sa kaklaseng nangisi sa akin habang hawak ang bote sa gitna ng table.

Wala akong time para sa mga ganitong kababawan.โFine.โ I sighed, rolling my eyes. โTruth.โNapangisi ang kaklaseng nagtanong. โTell us your biggest secret.โMy fingers clenched into fists under the table.

โWeโre playing a game today?โNapangiti ako sa excitement nang marinig ang announcement ng teacher namin. It was the second day of our trip, and they had set up a treasure hunt. Finally, something thrilling. Something worth my time.I glanced around at my classmates, some of them were already pairing up, discussing strategies. Others were groaning, clearly not fans of running around looking for clues. Pero ako? This was my kind of game.โYou all have to find the hidden treasure before sundown,โ our teacher explained. โThere will be clues along the way. Follow them carefully. And of course, stick with your partners.โPartners.I frowned. My excitement immediately dropped.Anak nang patis, bakit may ganon pa?!As if on cue, a familiar annoying voice spoke up beside me.โGuess weโre stuck together, partner.โNapalingon ako kay Cole, wearing that irritating smirk of his.โLike hell we are,โ I shot back. โI can do this alone.โHis brows lifted in amusement. โWow. Ang bilis mong kumontra. B

I woke up to a white ceiling and the cool air brushing against my skin. My forehead creased, my throat felt dry, and I slowly scanned my surroundings. I was in a small, simple room with a thin curtain over the window, an old electric fan whirring, and an IV drip attached to my hand.Rural hospital?Napapikit ako saglit, pilit inaalala ang nangyari. Ang huling natatandaan ko ay ang pagod na katawan ko habang nakayakap sa sarili sa loob ng isang kweba. Ulan. Lamig. Si Cole.Napabalikwas ako pero agad din akong napangiwi nang sumakit ang ulo ko. Shit.Sakto namang bumukas ang pinto, at pumasok ang professor namin, may dalang folder at mukhang nagmamadali.โOh, youโre awake,โ aniya at bahagyang ngumiti. โHow are you feeling?โโBetter, po.โ Kahit medyo paos pa ang boses ko, pilit kong bumangon nang maayos.Tumango siya. โThatโs good to hear.

The house was dimly lit when I stepped inside. The familiar scent of home wrapped around me, but something felt off.As I walked past the living room, I froze.โWhat the hell are you up to?โA voiceโlow, hushedโcame from the study.Edward.I took a slow step forward, pressing myself against the wall as I listened.โYou have to be patient,โ his voice was firm but quiet, like he didnโt want anyone to hear. โI told you, Iโm handling it and I already told you, this isnโt the right time,โMy stomach twisted.May sumagot sa kabilang linya, isang boses ng babaeโmahina, pero sapat para marinig ko ang tono nito.โYouโve been saying that for months, Edward.

“Grabe, Faye, you look like a panda,” Cole teased, leaning against the doorframe of the classroom. His grin was wide, the playful glint in his eyes making my headache worse. “Natulog ka ba?

โHello, excuse me? Is this Laura Smithโs designated room?โ Automatic na huminto ang kamay ko sa pagsusulat nang marinig ko ang isang pamilyar na boses mula sa entrance nang room namin. โYes, this is her classroom, do you need anything?โ Kalmadong sagot ng professor ko na nakaupo at nag di-discuss ng life or Rizal. โUh, yeah,โ nag angat ako nang tingin, sakto naman na umiikot ang mga mata niya tila may hinahanap, at isang nakakasilaw na ngiti ang pinakawalan nya nang mag tagpo ang mga mata namin. โFuck,โ I muttered, โPutangina talaga,โ I added, at pinilit hindi siya pansinin. โWhat is it? Youโre actually welcome to seat in my class, I donโt mind,โ napairap ako dahil sa kalandiang taglay ng propesor ko, ilang taon lang naman kasi ang tanda niya sa mga tinuturuan niya, dahil apparently, she is wway too smart, kaya nag accelerate sya nang ilang taon at naka graduate agad. โOh, no, thanks for the offer,โ ramdam na ramdam ko ang init nang tingin nang mga kababaihan sa loob ng room

โWhat? Mom, are you insane?

The bus finally stopped, and I stretched my arms, relieved to be away from home even for just a few days. The school trip was supposed to be a breath of fresh airโa chance to escape from everything, especially Edward and Cole.Three days of peace. No fake smiles. No walking on eggshells. Just me, my classmates, and a normal school trip.I slung my bag and a hand carry over my shoulder and followed the rest of the students as we stepped off the bus. Hindi naman ako nagdala masyado nang damit, at gamit. This is just a 3-day vacation for me. We were at some nature retreat, the kind with hiking trails, lakes, and a bunch of outdoor activities I wasnโt particularly interested in. But it didnโt matter. As long as I was far from that suffocating house, I was fine.I took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of fresh pine, and let my shoulders relax.โSo, whereโs our cabin?โ one of my classmates asked as they gathered around the teachers, waiting for room assignments.โDapat maganda yung view,โ

Tangina.Parang bulkan na sasabog ang ulo ko sa inis.Sa bawat hakbang ko papasok ng bahay, lalong umiinit ang dugo ko. Punyeta, ang kapal ng mukha niya.I just saw Edward kissing someone inside his car, and now? Nandito siya sa bahay namin, having the time of his life with my momโas if nothing happened?Nakasalubong ko agad sila sa living room.Mom was laughing at something Edward said, her face glowing with happiness. Ang saya niya. She looks so damn happy.And Edward?Nakaakbay sa kanya. Mukhang masaya rin. Parang wala lang nangyari. Parang hindi ko siya nahuling nangangaliwa ilang oras lang ang nakakaraan.Putang ina, ang galing mo umarte, Edward.Napansin ako ni Edward at ngumiti. โOh, Laura! Youโre home early.โNagpanting ang tenga ko sa boses niya.Napakuyom ako ng kamao ko, pilit na kinokontrol ang sarili ko.Wag ka muna sumabog. Wag dito. Wag sa harap ni Mom.Ngumiti ako, pilit at matipid. โYeahโฆ early enough to see things I wasnโt supposed to see.โNagtama ang mga mata namin

Two weeks had passed, pero hindi pa rin mawala sa utak ko โyung narinig ko. Simula noon, hindi ko na kinausap si Edward. Kapag nasa bahay siya, dumidiretso ako sa kwarto, o kaya naman ay kunwariโy busy sa phone ko. Ayoko siyang makita, ayoko siyang marinigโayoko lang talaga.โLaura, can you pass the salt?โ tanong ni Edward habang kumakain kami ng dinner.Hindi ko siya pinansin, bahala ka sa buhay mo.โLaura?โ mas malakas ang boses niya ngayon, pero hindi ko pa rin siya tinignan. Sa halip, ako mismo ang kumuha ng asin at tinaktak ito sa plato ko bago ibinalik sa gitna ng mesa na parang wala akong narinig.Nararamdaman ko ang tingin ni mommy sa akin, pero wala akong pakialam.โLaura,โ mas matigas na ang tono niya ngayon, at nang hindi pa rin ako sumagot, bumagsak ang kutsara niya sa plato. โAno bang problema mo, are you okay?โNapatigil ako. Dahan-dahan kong iniangat ang tingin ko at tinitigan siya. โWala,โ malamig kong sagot.Nagpalitan ng tingin si mommy at Edward.โLaura,โ si mommy n
