''Kuya, limang isaw, apat na barbecue at isa sa diyes niyang palamig'' malakas na bulalas ni Nathalia.

I give Manong may bayad and get my food. We sat there in the vacant table and started eating our food. I can see from afar that my cousins Berenice and Levi is slowly approaching us with there they bought in different stalls. Nandito kami ngayon sa may plaza ng naga para tumambay at mag palipas ng oras, kasama ang pinsan ko na si Berenice.

They sat with us and start eating there food too ''Kamusta na kayo?. Ang tagal na natin hindi nag kikita kita 'a'' Berenice said.

Siya lang yung kasama namin ngayon. Euphrasia and Genevieve daw are supper busy so they can't come with us. Sabi naman sa 'akin ni Kuya ay hahabol daw siya sa 'amin maya maya. I super miss them so much. I miss my bonding with my cousins, all six of them. But all of that change when all of us started college ''Well were fine. How about you?'' I said.

I know all of them are making a way for us to see each other. Pero hindi lang talaga kaya ng mga oras namin. Berenice nodded ''Okay naman na ako bago dumating sa 'akin yang letseng na college na 'yan'' she said and rolled her eyes.

I laughed a bit. I can definitely relate on what she just said. Maybe college life must have been super hard on her. My phone vibrate, so I grabbed it from my bag to see who messaged me. I was kinda hoping that it was the mechanic shop who messaged me, kung saan ko pina ayos ang kotse ko.

KYX AUTO Repair Shop: Ma'am okay na po yung kotse niyo. Pwede na pong kunin.

I put my phone in my bag, at dali dali inubos yung pagkain ko. When I was done eating my food I grabbed my wallet and put my money on the table and stand up. All of them was shock on what I did. Levi frowned at me ''Aalis kana agad?. Hindi pa nga dumadating yung kuya mo'' kunot noo nitong tanong.

I nodded ''Yeah kailangan ko ng kunin yung sasakyan ko 'e'' I said.

Nathalia looked at me and nodded ''Oo nga pala. Hindi ba sabi mo nung mga nakaraang araw na sira yung kotse mo. Pano ka nga pala non naka uwi?. Sino nag turo sayo na mag commute?'' Nathalia asked.

How should I tell her?. Should I tell them na it was Rejanne who teach me how to commute. No. I should just tell them that it was just someone ''A-ah just someone'' I said and leave there already. Baka kasi mag tanong tanong pa sila ng kung ano ano.

Habang naglalakad naman ako papalayo kila Berenice sakto naman na kita ko si Kuya Hugo. He stopped in front, so I stopped walking too. He suddenly frowned at me''Aalis ka na agad?. Kakarating ko pa lang 'a'' he said.

But I just nodded in response and continue walking. Habang naglalakad ako, may na hagip ang mga mata ko, so I stopped walking. Rejanne?. I saw him with hi friends happily eating there in a stall. I bite my lower lip. Should I approac him?. Nah. Kasama niya yung mga kaibigan niya at baka kung ano pa ang isipin ng mga 'yon.

I just continue walking.

''Mj ikaw ba yan?''

I heard a familiar voice screamed. So I stopped waking to find that voice. He run towards me ''Ikaw nga!. Anong ginagawa mo dito?'' Rejanne asked.

I looked at him staright in the eyes ''A-ah kasama ko kanina kumain yung mga pinsan ko'' halos ma utal na saad ko.

Tumango tango naman ito ''Uuwi ka na ba?. Gusto mo samahan kita ulit pa uwi?'' he asked and smiled at me.

I shook my head and look at hi friends who's happily eating there ''Ah hindi na'' sabi ko at umiling pa ''Baka hanapin ka ng mga kaibigan mo'' I said and smile a bit.
