'' So tell me about this kababata of yours, might as well , tell me something about you ''. Wika ni Jacob habang uminom ng basong tubig.
'' His name is Drake, sobrang close namin nun, he was a clumsy kid who tries to be brave and protect me from other bullies that ended up na sya na pala prinoprotektahan ko from them'' tumawa si Kaye at nagpatuloy sa pagsalita. '' He's sweet, sobrang crybaby tapos hemophobic pa takot sa dugo , andami naming fun memories together which makes me became nostalgic sa pagbalik ko dito ''.
'' what do you want to hear about me ba ? ''. Dagdag pa niya.
'' anything ''.
'' well, I'm that palaban na person na kakayanin ang lahat , things might not go as I expected it to be pero baka may reason, I want to find answers about Drake kasi I feel like may tinatago yong mama nya sakin ''.
'' fair enough , ako din naman eh , I find myself na may missing pieces kasi di ko alam, di ko alam na ba't feeling ko may kulang , I want to find answers but I don't know where to start, my parents told me na it's not the right time for me to know yet ''.
'' ang lalim ah, that makes it mysterious, buti nakatulog ka pa Jacob '' tumawa si Kaye.
'' Kaya nga eh, parang mababaliw nako sa kakaisip ahahhaa, ikaw ba? bakit mag-isa ka lang pala dun sa resto ''.
'' I found out something kaya kailangan ko munang mapag-isa ''.
'' I'm not forcing you to tell me but, patungkol saan? ''.
'' you already met Lucas, it's about his dad and my mom, pinapamukha nila sakin na they're making a bet kung saan , kailangan nilang pabalikin yong feelings ko for Lucas but I just can't , I also want to give him a second chance sana pero he doesn't deserved it din naman, just what I've thought, he broke my trust for the second time, not to mention mom din .
'' Know what I hate the most? ''
'' Keeping secrets '' sabay nilang pag bigkas nito .
'' I can relate Kaye, something's off about my parents , sabi lang nila sakin na mag-eexplain sila tas sa susunod nalang daw , andaming araw dude , pero wala padin , siguro kung ano man yong sasabihin nila , baka ganyan din ako magreact na kailangan ko muna mapag-isa ''.
'' it makes the two of us pala '' nilagay ni Kaye ang kanyang right arm sa bewang ni Jacob at nag semi- hug sila .
'' I better open my phone'' . Sa pagbukas nya nito ay binasa nya ang message ng kanyang lola.
'' Kaye, kailangan mo ng umuwi, your mom was trying to make things right , she don't want to continue the deal of you being with Lucas , it's literally not what you think , may na misinterpret ka lang , let your mom explain okay? she's waiting for you ''.
'' I'm going home na mamaya, andito ako ngayon kina Jacob, a new friend na nakilala ko, ihahatid nya ako pauwi, wag mokong madaliin and make sure that I don't get to hear lies , tell that to mom ''.
(Lucas' POV)
'' what ? she's with that guy? she barely knew that person, she just met him! I gotta go tita, kailangan kong sunduin si Kaye''.
'' are you crazy? magpahinga ka nalang Lucas please,you still don't know the way towards them ,plus pagod ka na''. Wika ni Tita Medell.
'' Hindi naman ako mapapagod when it comes to Kaye '' he ran outside and drove his car . '' The place is not far from here , konting pagtatanong-tanong lang ako pag malapit nako sa exact location ''.
(Balik kina Medell at Lola Ida)
'' teenagers nowadays '' napatampal noo si Medell habang tumingin sa kanyang ina , '' are they really that rebellious? or hard -headed , buti pa sa time natin dati, pag sumusuway o napapagalitan , we don't react that way ''.
That's all in the past , generation will change, everything has changes that's why there's fads''.
(Jacob's POV)
''What if there's a possibility na ako pala yong hinahanap ng babaeng to, I mean , I don't remember my childhood at all , does things connect to this girl? '' sabi ko saking sarili habang maraming ideya ang pumasok saking isipan.
'' Jacob, I think I gotta go home na , it's almost 6 pm ''.
'' sige , let me just take my keys , naiwan ko kasi sa kwarto ''.
'' mag -iintay ako dun sa labas ng gate ''.
(Kaye's POV)
'' Bakit parang naging comportable ako agad sa kanya , there are some vibes that he was the one I was looking for , but is it? di ko naman alam nyan for sure ''.
Sa paglabas nya dun sa may gate , nakita niya uli yong nanay ni Drake na may dalang bilihin.
Nilapitan niya ito at dineretsahang sabi nya na ... '' tita, alam ko may gusto kang sabihin sakin, I want you to be honest kasi sobrang namiss ko na yong anak mo , asan ba sya? pwede ko ba siyang makita? ''.
'' Gustuhin ko mang makita mo sya eh wala din naman akong magawa, pati ako miss ko narin sya eh kaso...matagal nang patay yong anak ko , oo si Drake , matagal na syang wala''.
'' Huh? anong nangyari sa kanya? wag ka namang magbiro ng ganyan tita ''.
'' diba alam mo na iniwan kami ni Drake ng papa niya, after a week nung nawala ka , yong papa niya nagsimulang magparamdam sakin, akala ko kasi nung time na yon babalikan nya kami , pero nagkamali ako, gusto niya lang na makuha yong loob namin para kunin si Drake, alam mo naman yong batang yong , masyadong nakadikit sakin yun madalas, nung araw na kunin nya na kasi si Drake sakin , galing sya naglalaro nun, pagbalik niya narinig nya kami, di niya siguro nagustuhan yong mga narinig nya sa sinasabi ng tatay nya o di sobrang nasaktan ata sya nun kasi ayaw din naman nya akong iwan, the last time I saw him was that day, he rode on his bike papalayo samin at triny na hinabol ito ng tatay niya kaso di na sya naabutan , pagkatapos nun, di namin alam kung nasan sya o kung anong balita kung anong nangyari sa kanya ''.
Niyakap ni Kaye si tita Joana kasi alam naman natin na ang hirap na mawalan ng anak , sobrang hirap .
Gustuhin man ni Kaye na umiyak pero di niya tinuloy, tumulo lang yong isang luha niya sa right eye at kinomfort si Joana.
'' sorry po , I didn't know ''.
'' This was the worst part for me kasi ito yong sinasabi ko sa sarili ko na baka wala na talaga sya kaya di ko mahanap , maybe it was only bound to be a memory forever back from the past , ano na magagawa ko? kung alam ko lang edi sana di ako umalis, I could have spent more time with him , baka pag di ako umalis , andito pa siguro sya ngayon sa harap ko , ngumiti habang kinakausap ko sya ''.
'' Kaye? okay ka lang? is this your mom? ''.
'' Yeah , I'm fine , si tita Joana, nanay ni Drake . ''
'' Alam mo na ba kung saan sya? ''
Napailing lang si Kaye at nagwika , '' Di rin niya alam eh , naglayas daw , di na bumalik '' pagsinungaling nya kay Jacob.
'' sorry to hear that, tara hatid na kita ''.
'' salamat po tita Joana ha , sana magkita pa tayo ulit '' Kaye waved at her at isinuot na ang helmet.
(Lucas while he's on the road)
'' Kung may ginawa man sya kay Kaye , susuntukin ko talaga yong hinayupak na yon ''.
Binilisan nya ang speed sa kanyang pagdra-drive habang hindi sya kumalma and he breathes so heavily habang napaka-init ng kanyang ulo .
