Rain woke up in the morning feeling well. She keeps on circling her room. Hindi pa rin ito makapaniwala na nasa bahay siya nila. Kinuha niya ang kanyang telepono at sinubukan ulit na tawagan si Ian.
Sorry, the number is out of reach
She sighed and threw her phone on the bed.
Ano kaya ginagawa ng taong yun? Sabi niya sa sarili niya.
Talking to yourself, miss? She immediately turned her head and almost slapped Mike.
Mike! Are you trying to kill me?! Naiinis na sigaw ni Rain.
Sorry, you shouldve seen your face! Tawa ni Mike na mukhang nag-eenjoy sa pag-aasar niya kay Rain.
Di ka ba marunong kumatok? Tanong ni Rain na nakapamaywang. Mike started knocking the door, teasing Rain.
She rolled her eyes at lumabas na lang ng silid niya. Hindi niya maitago ang inis niya kaya dali-dali siyang pumunta sa kusina at kumuha ng tubig.
Hoy, kumatok kaya ako kanina, pero busy ka yatang kausapin ang sarili mo. Pinipigilan ni Mike ang pagtawa at mas lalong nainis pa si Rain.
Where is my Kuya? I need to talk to him. Seryosong tanong ni Rain.
Uhm, nasa work niya? He left early. Why? Nandito naman ako. He winked and laughed again.
Nakakainis ka na talaga Mike, She took a deep breath and leaned on the sink. Marami akong tanong sa Kuya ko. Im so confused. Sobrang gulo. Ahh! Di ko maintindihan.
Well, hintayin na lang natin siya. Ako nga din, sigurado ako na di ko rin masasagot mga tanong mo kayat kumain na tayo. Umagang-umaga, high blood ka. Tatanda ka ng maaga niyan.
Rain calmed herself and joined Mike on the table. Her mouth watered when she saw their breakfast. Chicken Takoyaki!
It was still your favorite, huh. Hindi ka ba nagsasawa niyan? Tanong ni Mike habang nagsasandok si Rain ng pagkain sa plato nito.
It will always be my favorite! At matagal na din akong di nakakakain nito. She admitted. Simula noong umalis siya sa bahay nila hindi na siya nakakapag luto o makakain man lang ng paborito niya. She prioritized her needs.
Like, what do you mean? I thought youre living your life to the fullest when you left? Napatigil bigla si Rain sa sinabi ni Mike.
Huh? She tried to formulate what was Mikes point. But he spoke again.
Your brother told me that youre living the best in Spain, isnt it?
Rain took a deep breath. Nadagdagan na naman ang mga tanong niya sa kapatid. What is he planning? Does he really care for me? Mas lalo siyang nainis at nalungkot. Pero di niya iyon pinakita kay Mike.
I have no time na kasi to cook. I wasbusy. Sinabayan niya ang sinabi ni Mike.
Ah, you never talked to your brother since you left? He told me that you abandoned him. You left with money and then you came back, and he still welcomed you. Her jaw dropped at what Mike said. Liar. She controlled her tears and clenched the utensils she was holding.
Why is that look? You okay? Rain continuously put food in her mouth and ran to her room. Narinig niya na tinatawag siya ni Mike bago niya ilock ang kanyang pinto. Her tears began to fall and she felt her stomach churning up.
She went to her bathroom and kneeled down the toilet. Hindi niya naiintindihan ang nararamdaman niya. She sobbed and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand when she felt someone held her hair.
Leave me alone. She said. But she remembered that she locked her door and looked up to the man whos holding her hair.
Ian? Hindi siya makapaniwala. She wanted to hug him but he signed her to keep quiet.
