CHAPTER 4

"That would be your spot starting from today, huh?" Kuya asked, probably talking about what he witnessed at the coffee shop earlier.

Kunot ang noo, nilagpasan ko siya at dumiretso sa kusina para kumuha ng tubig. Nararamdaman ko na naka-sunod siya sa akin. "That's my spot since then."

"Sus," he said, with a smirk. Probably.

Hindi ko matiis si Arnel sa mga pangangasar niya buong araw. Simula ngayong araw naisipin ko na lumipat na lang sa condo ko kasi mukhang hindi niya ako titigilan. Deserve ko ata 'to kasi ganinto ginawa ko sa kaniya sa tuwing sumasagi sa isip niya si Zoe.

Bakit hindi ako kinikilig? Bakit naiinis ako?

I don't know what's wrong with her... Why she acted that way?

I went inside my room and tried to read some notes just for the sake of me doing something. But I always drift back to Abreu. Then I realized... That is really how she acts. Like... Ma-attitude.

Maybe I expected something different because we were something back then. Yeah, like she told me things I really wanted to hear that's supposed to be making me happy but it only broke me.

I guess she didn't mean those words anymore. That was in... high school. And same goes to me. I told her I'll wait for her but then I had Elaine. It doesn't matter anymore, though. Maybe she already forgot that I ever said that.

After spending hours inside this house with an annoying brother and an annoying cousin, I didn't even have to think twice that I'll move in my condo.

"Ang pikon naman," natatawang sabi ni Percy. Nagtatawanan na sila ni Arnel. Kanina pa sila suggest nang suggest nang mga bagay na pwede ko raw gawin para maging close ulit kami ni Abreu.

"Ang sipag naman niyan," sabi ni Arnel nang makita ako sa hagdanan na bitbit 'yung mga libro ko na dadalhin ko palang sa kotse ko. "Papasok ka talaga sa med school?"

At first I wanted to ignore them and just drive away from this big house with two assholes. But when I came back to get some of my stuffs, Kuya asked me again about the med school shits.

Napagod ako sa pag-aayos para sa pag-lalayas ko kaya na-upo muna ako sa sofa sa sala kung nasaan rin sila.

"Ayoko. Hindi ko kaya 'yon. That's a serious world out there... My brain can't do that," I replied when they asked me about med school for the third time. "Kailangan do'n ng pera, talino, tapos 'yung kagustuhan mo talaga sa field na 'yon. Ako pera lang, eh."

"Then, tell mom. Papayag naman 'yon. Sa tangin mo mag-sasayang 'yun ng pera kung ayaw mo naman?"

"I don't think she'll agree... When I first mentioned that I wanna take medtech, the first thing that she thought was med school. Kaya lang siya pumayag dahil do'n."

Kuya scoffed. "And you did that because of—"

Tumango ako. "Abreu," tinignan ko sila tapos ayan nanaman 'yung mga punyeta nilang ngisi. "But I told you... That doesn't matter anymore 'cause I like what I'm doing. Hindi lahat dahil sa kaniya."

"Pero naiinis ka ngayon dahil sa kaniya," natatawang sabi ni Percy.

Umiling ako at tumayo. Natatawa nila akong tinawag pero hindi na ako lumingon. Tangina niyo.

I was about to get in my car with my annoyed look. I halted when a motor stopped in-front of the gate.

"Aalis ka?" Tanong ni Julian nang matanggal niya 'yung helmet niya. Tumango ako. "May naiwan lang ako. Kukunin ko lang."
