Nang makabalik kami ni Jillian sa unit, bumalik din siya sa dati niyang energy. Makulit na ulit, parang wala lang sa kaniya 'yong nangyari.
Habang ako, hindi mapakali. Ayoko nang mag isip, pero wala akong sagot na nakuha mula sa kaniya. Jill is my bestfriend, I don't want to hurt her in any way possible.
I tried brushing off the thought at nakinood na lang sa pinapanood nila. Si Ate Aiks ang nasa gitna naming dalawa dahil siya ang may hawak ng ipad.
"Teka," bigla siyang nag salita at pinause 'yong movie. "Mukha akong third wheel dito, ah?"
Natawa naman kami dahil akala namin ay seryoso 'yong sasabihin niya. Mang aasar lang pala.
"Sus, bakit 'di kayo lumabas ni—"
Naputol ang sasabihin ni Jill nang biglang takpan ni Ate Aiks ang bibig niya. "Wala, walang lalabas,"
"No need to keep it a secret," I said while laughing dahil akala n'ya yata ay hindi ko alam. "Sa daldal ni Jill, Ate Aiks nabanggit na n'ya."
Hinampas niya si Jillian. "Ano ba! Sabi ko secret, ah?"
"Ang secret natin," lumipat s'ya ng pwesto at tumabi sa akin. Inakbayan n'ya ako. "Secret din namin ni Y/N, safe naman sayo, diba?"
Tumango ako at natawa kami dahil napagtutulungan namin si Ate Aiks.
"Nag kampihan pa kayo, ah."
Para siyang batang nag susumbong.
E, nasaan ba kasi bebe nito? Paki claim naman, emz.
"Sagana love life, sino ka naman d'yan, Ate Aiks?" asar ko.
"Anong sagana rito? Puro trabaho," reklamo niya. "Ikaw? Kamusta love life mo?"
Natahimik kami.
Kamusta nga ba?
"There's a lot of things na I need to prioritize first before that, pero kung may dadating, why not?"
"Kailan pa dadating?"
"What if dumating na?" Jill said.
"What if dumating nga pero umalis din naman?"
"Umalis pero bumalik naman,"
Ate Aiks raised her hands. "Oh, tama na. Grabeng linyahan, ah? May pinaghuhugutan?"
"Sa The Hows of Us, Ate Aiks," Jill answered.
I remained silent hanggang sa matapos ang movie. Nang magawi ang tingin ko kay Jill, nakatulog na rin s'ya.
Ayoko sana abalahin ang tulog n'ya but it's already 3pm. I need to go back sa house at mag ayos para sa meeting ko. I can't be late. I don't want to be late.
"Ate Aiks," I said calling her attention. "I need to go," I whispered.
Nang makita niya si Jill na natutulog ay agad niyang inayos ang sofa at nag lagay ng unan. Dahan dahan naming inihiga si Jill at kinumutan s'ya ni Ate Aiks.

"Sige na, ako na bahala rito," she said assuring me na hindi maiiwan mag isa si Jill. "Wala akong trabaho today, I'll stay lang dito sa bahay,"
"Thanks, Ate. Tell her I'm gonna text her na lang,"
Niyakap ako ni Ate Aika bago ako tuluyang nag paalam. "Ingat, ha?"
"Copy, Ma'am!" Sagot ko at nag salute pabiro.
Dumiretso ako sa parking lot at hinanap ang kotse ko. Medyo malayo ang naparkingan ko pero katabi lang nito ang kotse nina Tita kanina kaya madali ko itong nahanap.
I was about to enter my car when I noticed something. Yumuko ako para i-check ito.
Flat nga. Bakit ngayon pa?
Tiningnan ko ang oras at mukhang hindi na ako aabot sa meeting, ipaayos ko man o ako mismo ang mag ayos.
Nag isip ako ng pwedeng gawin at isa lang ang naiisip ko. I have no choice. I need to commute.
Damn, anong sasakyan ko? Saan ako sasakay?
Hindi ako commuter na tao, never ko pa natry mag commute mag isa, palaging may kasama. Kaya ngayon, hindi ko alam ang gagawin.
Nakakahiya man pero hindi ko talaga alam at ayoko namang kung saan saan mapunta, I decided to text Ate Aiks.
Lumabas ako ng parking lot at nag abang ng jeep sa harap ng building gaya ng sinabi ni Ate Aika.
Ilang minuto na ang nakakalipas at wala pa rin tumitigil sa harap ko. Baka malate na ako. I texted Ate Aiks again.
Nakakahiya na 'tong ginagawa ko, Lord. Kung hindi lang po ako malalate.
Habang inaantay na makababa si Ate Aiks. May kotse na mukhang titigil sa harap ko. Agad akong tumabi dahil baka mabangga ako.
This car is familiar, parang kina Tita.
Then suddenly bumusina siya and the window of the passenger seat opened.
Si Tita nga, and Tricia sa driver seat.
Lumapit ako at bumati sa kanila. "Tita!"
"Anak, bakit ka nandito?" Tita Vp asked.
"Trish," I greeted her with a smile and she did the same while waving her hand. I looked back kay Tita. "Naflat po kotse ko, mag commute na po ako. Just waiting kay Ate Aiks po, pababa rin po s'ya."
"What? Why naflat?"
"I don't know, Tita. Pag baba ko, ganun na po,"
"Kaya mo ba mag commute, nak?" She asked, worried.
"Nag patulong po ako kay Ate Aiks," sagot ko at napahawak sa batok ko dahil sa kahihiyan. "Pababa na po s'ya,"
"You want me to hatid you?" Tricia suddenly talked.
Lord, ang pafall po, emz.
"That's a great idea, Trish!" Tita said. "Payag ka na, nak. Less hassle rin,"
"Wow, pag ako Trish lang. Pag si Y/N, nak?" reaction ni Tricia sa sinabi ni Tita.
Natawa kami. I also find it funny, na Tita keep on calling me anak kahit hindi n'ya ako anak talaga. While Tricia, the real anak, first name basis.
"Understandable na tampo ka sa part na 'yon, Tricia." pangaasar ko sa kaniya. "Sorry, ako na ang bagong anak,"

She sticked her tongue out at tumawa.
Tita was about to speak when Ate Aiks came.
"Y/N!" She called me.
Ate Aiks is still wearing her pajamas. Halatang dali dali s'ya bumaba para tulungan ako.
The sweetest Ate, hay.
Nang makita n'ya sina Tita ay binati niya rin ito. "Ma! Trish! Nakabalik na kayo agad?"
"Oo, may mga pinirmahan lang kami ang dumaan si Trish sa ospital." Sagot ni Tita at tiningnan ang suot ni Ate Aiks.
"Ma, grabe tingin mo. Judger so much!" Reklamo ni Ate Aiks nang mapansin niyang chinecheck s'ya ni Tita. "Nag madali na ako kasi baka malate 'tong isa,"
"Jessica Marie "nahuling nakapajama sa labas" Robredo." Tricia teased her Ate.
Sinamaan naman s'ya ng tingin ni Ate Aiks. "Lagot ka sakin mamaya, Janine Patricia "naiwan sa party" Robredo."
Kahit na natatawa ay sinaway na rin sila ni Tita. "Oh siya, tama na 'yan. Baka malate si Y/N," binuksan ni Tita ang pinto ng sasakyan at tinulungan ko naman s'ya. "Halika na, Aika sabay na tayo tumaas,"
"Huh? Hindi ba ipapasok ni Trish 'tong sasakyan? Tsaka isasakay ko pa si Y/N, Ma."
"No need, Ate Aiks. Hatid ko na s'ya," si Tricia na ang sumagot this time.
Nakakahiyang tumanggi pero nakakahiya din mag yes.
What if mag lakad na lang ako?
Just by the thought of me and Tricia sa iisang sasakyan, at kami lang dalawa, makes me kaba. Hindi naman sa ayaw ko, pero after what happened that night, somehow I feel comfortable with Tricia's presence. But, still the kaba is there.
Lalo pa't alam kong hindi imposibleng mahulog ako sa kaniya.
Hindi puwede hanggat hindi malinaw ang mga tanong sa isip ko.
"Are you sure it's okay?" I asked, baka may mas mahalaga siyang gagawin.
Tumango tango s'ya. "Okay lang, wala akong gagawin. I can accompany you all day habang hindi pa okay sasakyan mo,"
Nakakahiya man pero wala na akong panahon para mag pabebe. "Thanks, sa bahay lang muna tayo,"
Nag beso kami ni Tita and same with Ate Aiks.
"Ingat kayo, Trish ingat sa pag drive. Dahan dahan lang," paalala ni Tita and Tricia just gave her a thumbs up.
"Wag ka mag alala, Y/N hindi mo na kailangan pumara kay Trish ngayon," aniya at tiningnan ang kapatid n'ya. "Kusa ka nang sinusundo, lakas mo." naramdaman kong kinurot n'ya ang tagiliran ko kaya natawa kami pareho.
"Where's Jillian?" Tita Vp asked nang mapansin na wala ang bunso n'ya.
"Mukha ba kaming hanapan ng nawawalang paboritong anak, Ma?" Pabirong sagot ni Ate Aiks. "Joke, natutulog sa taas."
"Nag paalam ka na ba sa kaniya? Baka hanapin ka,"
"She's sleeping na po bago ako umalis, I don't want to disturb her sleep naman po. I'll text her, Tita."
"Good. Sige na, mag ingat kayo. Update me."
Tumango na lang kami at sumakay na ako sa sasakyan. Nang makaupo ako ay kinuha ko agad ang cellphone ko at tinext si Jill.
Wala akong natanggap na sagot, she's probably still sleeping.
Tricia noticed me texting. "Wow, updated yarn?"
"Jill will be worried, you know your sister,"
"You know what, I don't want na makialam. But I just want to know, ganiyan ba kayo talaga?" She curiously asked. "Even before?"
Why do I feel like.. No, that's impossible.
"Yes," maikling sagot ko, showing signs na ayokong ituloy 'tong usapan. Baka kung saan mapunta.
"I see, it's just that come to think of it. Is that a normal thing with the bestfriend?"
Napatingin ako sa kaniya and she just shrugged. "Random thought,"
May alam ba s'ya?
Sinabi ba sa kaniya ni Jill?
Alam ba n'ya what happened before?
May idea ba siya about.. about what happened to me and her sister?
"What are you saying?" I answered casually, not wanting her to notice na kinakabahan ako.
She laughed. "I was just kidding, masyado kang seryoso kasi, maaga kang tatanda, sige ka,"
Para akong nabunutan ng tinik sa lalamunan.
Grabe ka na, Tricia.
"What? Are you saying something?"
"What? Nasabi ko na naman ba malakas?"
At tumawa na naman s'ya.
Lord, napakamasiyahin na tao. Napaganda ngumiti.
"Sobra ka na nga sa kape, sa lahat na lang kinakabahan ka," she said. "Try mo na kasi yung milk,"
"Here we go again,"
Nag face palm ako. She's at it again, trying to persuade me na uminom nung gatas na gusto nila.
"Sige na, masarap naman ah! You said it's okay!"
"Focus on the road, Trish." saway ko.
She's so kulit. Just for that milk.
"Sungit mo, sumbong kita kay Mama,"
"Go on, let's see sino kakampihan ni Tita," I backfired.
Natawa ako nang wala akong natanggap na sagot mula sa kaniya. "Talo!" asar ko.
She smiled.
"Yay! You're smiling na oh!" she exclaimed at papalit palit ang tingin sa akin at sa daan. "Smile always, you look good pa naman,"
And then I realized, oo nga. I'm smiling. Because of her.
"Kanina lang ang sungit mo, ngayon tumatawa ka na," dugtong niya. "Feeling ko crush mo na ako n'yan."
"Ang kapal mo, ah! Baka ikaw since ikaw nag aya na ihatid ako," pagyayabang ko.
"Mabait lang ako,"
"Sige, sabi mo, e."
Natahimik kaming dalawa. At saktong tumugtog sa radio 'yong "Until I Found You".
I was quietly listening to the song when Tricia called me.
"Y/N,"
Saktong nag red 'yong stop light.
The car stopped.
Tricia looked at me.
Pakiramdam ko, lahat ng bagay sa paligid ko tumigil.
Pero, yung oras, ang bilis.
Ang bilis ng oras kapag kasama ko si Tricia.
Oh, I used to say
I would never fall in love again until I found her
I said, "I would never fall unless it's you I fall into"
I was lost within the darkness, but then I found her
I found you

"We can't do this."

That's why it's so exciting." He replies through kisses. His effortless charm intoxicates me; drowning me; hunting me; devouring me."What if my brother finds out?" The perpetuated patter of the rain unable to subdue my groan as he digs his nails deeper into my skin."Who cares."**********Welcome to my story, where an innocent boy finds a not so innocent boy in his bed; where they do not so innocent things.- YOP
