Nung nag-start yung third year second sem ng med, ang bilis ng lahat. Dahil siguro wala ng orientation or dahil araw-araw talaga yung exam. Lahat kaming magbabarkada ay panay review yung ginagawa namin.


"Are you and Gab, okay?" I asked Gino nung nauna kami sa auditorium ni Clark. Wala pa sila.


"Yeah, why?" Gino asked without looking at me. Busy pa din syang nagbabasa sa ipad nya.


"Totoo ba? I mean hindi ba kayo nag-away may naka-tag sayong picture nung medical mission?" I curiously asked. Kase parang aloof si Gab. Or dahil lang kaya sa lolo nyang kritikal sa US.


"What picture?" He asked confused.


"Your ex tagged you in a post. So hindi nyo nga napag-usapan?" Tanong ko tapos tumingin ako sa kanya.


"No. We are not talking actually, I'm not sure what's the problem." He said truthfully.


"Maybe that. When was the last time you actually talked?" Mahinang tanong ko kasi napupuno na yung auditorium.


"US pa. I kept texting and calling her. Pero wala. I'm trying hard to understand her, lalo kritikal daw yung lolo nila." Malungkot na sabi nya.


"Bakit hindi mo puntahan sa condo nya. Kasi dito malabo mo maka-usap laging nakadikit yun kay Trish." Sagot ko.


"Her brother is staying at her place. After exam maybe, I'll talk to her." He simply said tapos dumating na silang lahat. Tumabi sya sa gilid ni Marco. Nakatingin lang si Gino kay Gab, pero si Gab sa ipad agad yung focus nya.


After ng first LE namin ay hindi namin nayaya magbar yung magpinsan, dumiretso kasi sila ng condo kasi may flight pa sila. Si Trish din may aayusin daw sa condo. Sila Marco ata may gagawin din, kaya umuwi na lang kami ng condo.


"Will they be okay?" I asked Clark nung kumakain kami ng dinner.


"I'm not sure. When I asked Gab, parang naghihintay na lang syang sumuko si Gino." Sagot nya sa akin.


"Baka naman pagod lang sya, or malungkot kasi dahil sa lolo nila." I said sadly.


"Maybe. But, there's nothing we can do about that, baby. Sila lang makaka-ayos nun. Let them fix things. Baka lalo lang tayo makagulo." Malamyang sagot nya sa akin.


"I just hope for the best. Okay yung exam mo?" I asked to change the mood.


"Okay naman ata. You?" He asked.


"Okay ata. Maglaba tayo, tambak na." Sabi ko. He just laughed at me.


"You're that occupied? I already load our clothes, darling." He said laughing. I just looked at him and pout.


"Baby, it will be fine. Matanda na sila. It's not our story to be so involved with." He said then hugged me.


"I just can't stop worrying. They are like my siblings already. And I really like Gab for Gee." Sagot ko. Pero niyakap nya lang ako ng mahigpit.


"You're a good friend, baby. Ngiti na, I don't like seeing you sad. What can I do to cheer you up? Should I dance or sing?" He asked all serious.


"Just hug me. Let's watch big bang later." I answered.


"Sure, anything you want. Should I order nachos and fries?" Nakangiting tanong nya. I just nodded.


After naming kumain ay nagligpit lang kami sa condo tapos nag-hang ng mga damit namin. Panay yung ngiti nya sa akin. He even sings habang inaayos yung laundry area. He did all things, ngumiti lang ako. Naligo lang kami ng sabay after namin sa lahat ng gawain sa condo. Tapos nag-order sya ng kakainin namin habang nanunuod kami ng big bang. He keeps caressing my shoulder with his thumb nung nanunuod kami.
