Nikki's POV
We're so busy. Last day of campaign na kasi. Nag-ring ang cellphone ko. Si kuya.
"Hi kuya. Napatawag ka?"
"Wala lang, namiss kasi kita. Pwede ba tayo magkita ngayon? Nakuha na namin kasi yung bayad sa gig namin last week, yayain sana kita kumain sa labas, kung hindi ka busy."
"Niks, li kana." tawag na ako ni Princess, secretary ng party namin.
"We're having our campaign kasi kuya eh. Last day na ngayon. Pwede next time nalang? Promise, babawi ako matapos lang tong election na to."
"Ganun ba. Sige."
"Sorry kuya. Have to go. Bye."
*****************************************
Haay.. Kapagod ang araw na to. Gusto ko na magpahinga. I checked my phone, walang text ni kuya. Hala, baka nagtampo yun. Tawagan ko nalang. Nag-ring pero hindi sinasagot. Sinubukan ko uli, hindi parin sinasagot.
"Nicole."
"Uy."
"Pauwi kana ba? Hatid na kita."
"Naku hindi na, susunduin naman ako."
"Sige na, hatid na kita."
"Hindi na, okay lang talaga."
"Halika na."
Bumaba ito sa kotse at hinatak na ako pasakay. I shrugged. Okay, if he insists.
"Sa Forbes Park ang sa amin. Yung subdivision kasunod ng sa inyo."-Dylan
"Talaga? Magkapitbahay lang pala tayo. Hehe."
"Kaya nga. Hay, bukas na ang election."-Dylan
"Oo nga eh. Kinakabahan na nga ako."
"Hindi halata. Hehe. Pero seryoso sana manalo tayo noh."-Dylan
I shrugged. "Manalo, matalo, okay lang sa akin."
"Pero ako, I really have to win this election."
Biglang sumeryoso ang mukha nito.
"Kailangan ko patunayan kay papa na kaya ko ipanalo to. All my life, ginagawa ko ang lahat para ipakita kay papa na kaya kong manalo sa lahat ng bagay. He's never proud of me. Kinahihiya niya na naging anak niya ako."
"I'm sorry." May pinagdadaanan pala ang mokong na to.
"Don't be ridiculous. Why are you saying sorry?"
"I don't know. Maybe nakiki-sympathize lang ako. But if you have to prove your self, bakit pumayag ka na maging vice governor lang? You could have run for the governor position."
"It's because I told them that my girlfriend is running for the position."
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya.
"You what?"
And now he's fidgeting.
"Look, I'm sorry Niks. I didn't mean it. It's just.."
"Just what? Know what Dylan, stop the car. Bababa na ako."
"Niks, I'm sorry." he stops the car. Bababa na sana ako pero pinigil nya ako.
"Pwede ba pakinggan mo muna ako. please."
"1 minute."
"Okay. Can you keep a secret?"
I frowned. "Naglolokohan ba tayo dito Dylan?"
