Aron Ryle's POV
"Dahan-dahan lang sa pagkain, Crystal. Parang nakakalimutan mo na yatang ngumuya, eh. Wala ka naman sa karera."
She paused and lifted up her head. "Sorry. I am hungry. Wala pa akong pananghalian."
"What? Buang ka ba? Why didn't you have your lunch?"
She went back on eating. "Hindi ko namalayan ang oras."
"Are you so busy that you forget that you need to eat? You really aren't conscious of your health, love. That's not good."
"Wala naman akong masyadong ginawa kaya 'yung kinain ko sa almusal, umabot pa ng tanghali," she reasoned out.
"Umabot ng tanghali pero ngayon gutom na gutom na?"
"Hindi na umabot."
"What did you do that you even forgot to eat?"
"Just sitting at that swing, I guess."
"Huh? You've been sitting there for almost a day?!"
"Yeah."
I was speechless. Ang gara, ilang oras din 'yun pero hindi siya na-bored.
After she ate, she insist that she's going to wash the dishes but I did not let her. Mabuti na lang at tumawag ang mama niya kaya natapos agad ang argumento naming dalawa.
I was looking for her after I wrapped up my task but my ringing phone interrupted me. It was Dale, requesting a video call.
"Iba ka rin Cuego, ah. Lumelevel up ang kagwapuhan," bungad ko. "Siguro marami kang chix d'yan no?"
"Enough with that, Diesma. I already told you."
"You missed her everyday. Lahat din naman namimiss na siya, Dale. Maging dito nga sa Pilipinas hindi siya nagpaparamdam."
"You all tried to contact her?"
"Of course, we did. Through Skype and other platforms but got no response. She's not getting on line," I replied. "Are you this worried about her? Hindi ka na galit niyan?" I added.
"I am not mad at her, Diesma. She did nothing wrong. Besides, what happened was an accident."
"Kapag nagmahal nga naman si Cuego!" I teased. "Subukan mo kayang kontakin siya, Cuego?"
"I always do. In my dreams."
"Kapag lumapag ka talaga dito sa Pilipinas, sasabitan talaga kita ng medalya!"
"Crazy. I don't need that."
He did not get that? Naku, Cuego.
"Tawagan mo kaya. Maybe, she'll answer it if it's you. May mga international roaming services naman ngayon."
"Better not. I won't bother her na."
"Weh? You love her a lot but afraid to contact her? It's a waste of time to dwell on what-ifs, alam mo 'yan."
"You don't understand, Diesma. I felt guilty that I hurt her. You know Zyah, she's fragile inside."
"You sure that you did not underestimate her, bro? If she's that soft, she couldn't be gone for this long."
"Well, maybe she needs a lot of time to digest everything. You know, Diesma, I felt like our path won't cross ever again."
"Buang ka ba? Bakit gan'yan ka mag-isip, Cuego?"
