Seems right, seems wrong

Prologue

Mahimbing akong natutulog ng biglang nagring ang cellphone ko hudyat na may tumatawag. Nakapikit kong kinapa-kapa ang side table ko hanggang sa maabot ko ito.

"H-Hello?" I answered huskily.

"Babe! Bagong gising ka ba?! Anong oras na woi! Bumangon ka na jan! Bored ako dito sa bahay kaya samahan mo ako mag mall," masayang lintaya ng nasa kabilang linya.

Pupungas-pungas akong bumangon at tinignan ang orasan. Sht! It's already 11: 20 in the morning! I slept that long?!

"Anong oras ba?" Tanong ko sa kaniya habang naglalakad paputang banyo.

"Hmm.. I'll pick you up by twelve. Magready ka na, bye," he said before he ended the call.

I sighed as I lazily stripped my clothes before I take my morning bath.

Naabutan ko si mommy sa living room, mukhang paalis na.

"Oh anak, may lakad ka?" My mom asked me as soon as I went downstairs wearing my ootd.

I am wearing a high wasted shorts, black printed shirt with a pair of white sneakers.

"Yes mom. I'll be with Morrise. Nag-aya kasi siyang magmall daw kami because he's bored," I rolled my eyes with the last words.

I scanned her clothes and noticed that she's wearing a simple black leggings and a gray shirt. Mukhang sa plantation ang punta niya.

My mom chuckled. "How cute. Mag-iingat kayo ha? I'll go now," she said and kissed my cheeks.

"Bye mom! Take care, I love you," I said as she made her way to the door.

"I love you too, anak," she replied before she went outside.

I sat at the sofa and made myself comfortable as I waited for Morrise.

Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas bago ako nakarinig ng busina ng sasakyan. Lumabas ako at dali-daling pumasok sa shotgun seat.

"Ang tagal mo naman," reklamo ko sa kaniya.

As soon as i'm comfortable with my seat, I looked at him. He's wearing a dark blue polo shirt, denim short and a pair of white nike shoes.

"Hey! I'm just two minutes late," he chuckled.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Late pa rin yun!"

Eh kasi naman nilamok na ako kakahintay sa kaniya no!

"Yeah, whatever Kelly," ge said as he continue his driving.

Sobrang saya ng hapon namin dahil sa lahat ng pinuntahan namin. We went to cinema to watch a movie pagkatapos ay binusog namin ang mga sarili namin sa Jollibee at pumasok sa iba't ibang boutique sa mall. We even entered NBS to buy some books and other school materials.

"Do you want some ice cream babe?" Morrise asked as we passed by in an ice cream stall inside the grocery department.

I nodded my head. "Yeah, sure. Cookies n' cream akin," I demanded.

Tumango siya sa akin at bumili na. Inilibot ko ang panginin sa paligid, ang daming tao at karamihan sa kanila ay mga matatanda dahil na rin siguro sa grocery department ito. I sighed. Kailan kaya ulit tayo makakapunta sa mall ng magkasama? 'Baka hindi na mangyari yun.'

"Here," napabaling ang atensyon ko kay Morrise ng inabot niya sa akin ang ice cream.

"Thanks," I muttered as I started eating my ice cream.

"Let's go," sabi niya bago hinawakan ang kamay ko at naglakad na kami patungong parking lot.

Tumigil ako sa paglalakad ng makarating na kami sa harap ng kotse niya. Gabi na pala. He was about to open the door when I stopped him.

"Bakit?" Kunot-noong tanong niya.

"Seriously? Ubusin muna natin to! Mamaya magkalat pa tayo sa loob," natatawang sabi ko sa kaniya.

"Oh, sige."

After we finished our ice cream, we made ourselves comfortable inside the car before he started the engine.

"Hindi ka na ba bored?" I asked him.

Bahagya siyang umiling bago ngumisi. "Hindi na, salamat sa pagsama sa akin," nakangiti niyang saad.

"Anytime babe," kinindatan ko siya.

Bumungisngis siya habang umiiling-iling. Ibinaling ko ang atensiyon ko sa labas ng bintana. It's been what? Five years, Ang tagal na pala, kumusta ka na kaya? Haist.

Napalingon ako kay Morrise ng marinig kong tumikhim siya. "Are you okay, Kel?" He asked.

I chuckled. "Of course, bakit naman hindi?"

Lumingon siya saglit sa akin at muling binalik sa harapan ang atensyon niya. "Really? I mean...you know," nag-aalinlangan niyang tugon.

I sighed. "I'll be lying to you when I say yes. It's been years, yes, pero masakit pa rin. But life must go on, right? I'm still healing and I know na unti-unti ng naghihilom ang sugat ng nakaraan, yun nga lang hindi madali."

Tumango siya sa akin at tumahimik na. We were silent the whole ride after that, until we reached my house.

"Thanks for today, babe," I said and kissed his cheeks.

Ngumiti siya sa akin bago ako niyakap ng mahigpit. "No, thank you. Napasaya mo na naman ako. Be brave ok? I'm here for you, no matter what. I love you, bye!" Mahabang sabi niya bago kumalas sa yakapan namin.

Binuksan ko ang pintuan ng sasakyan niya at bumaba bago lumingon ulit sa kaniya. "Drive safely, babe! I love you too. Take care," I answered sweetly before I shut the car door.

Ng nakaalis na ang sasakyan niya ay tumalikod na ako at nagsimula ng pumasok sa loob ng bahay.

"Good evening po, miss Kelly," a maid greeted me and I just smiled at her.

May naririnig akong tawanan sa loob ng sala.

"May bisita po ba ate?" I asked the maid.

Nakapagtatakang may bisita eh wala naman sila mommy at daddy dahil nasa plantation pa silang pareho, isa pa impossibleng bisita ito ng mga kapatid ko kasi may naririnig akong boses ng matatanda.

"Yes po, miss," she politely said.

I was about to asked her again ng tinawag siya bigla ng isa pang kasambahay namin kaya wala na akong magawa ng nag paalam na siyang aalis.

I started to walk. Kinakabahan ako sa di malamang dahilan. Sino kaya ang mga bisitang iyon? Bakit parang pamilyar ang mga boses?

I washed those thoughts inside my head and continue walking while smiling.

"Oh, anak, andito ka na pala," my gaze went on mom as she stood up and hugged me.

"Good evening, mom," sabi ko 'tsaka ginantihan ang yakap niya.

Kumalas si mommy sa akin kaya nilibot ko ang aking paningin. Unti-unting nawala ang aking ngiti ng mapagtanto kung sino-sino ang mga bisita, until my gaze went on him.

"Kythos..." I whispered using my shaking voice.

He sweetly smiled at me. "Hi, Kellyanna! Meet Dior my soon to be girlfriend."
