It was Saturday, birthday ng bebe ni Tati na si Geo. At ang gaga binobomba ako ng tawag, yawa.

Tati:Anong di ka susunduin ni Kiel, LQ *3*?

Kia: Hindi, pinagsasasabi mo.

Tati: E bakit di ka niya susunduin? >_<

Kia: Hindi naman ako lumpo, Tatiana Isabelle. I'll be there in thirty.

Tati: Haynako, ikaw bahala. Chat ka na lang pag malapit ka na. :3

----------------------

The trip to Geo's subdivision went a lot quicker than expected, siguro kasi medyo mababa traffic levels pag Saturday. Buti na lang pinayagan ako ni tita Astrid magpagabi, basta wag lang daw ako uuwi nang gutom amp.

"Kiana Rae Dela Vegaaaaa!! You cameeeee T_T" Parang tangang sumalubong sa akin si Tati, napapailing na lang ako sa kagagahan ng isang to.

"Makangawa kala mo sampung taon di nagkita, gaga lang bhie?" Nagpout pa ang sira, aysus.

It didn't take long before geo showed up in front of me, which I gave a small gift and some birthday wishes. He then proceeded to leave us be because he has some guests to attend to. At alam niyang di niya maalis si tati sa akin, para ba naman linta to sa pagka clingy amp.

-------------------

"So bakit nga di ka sinundo ni Kiel?" Usisa ni Tatiana. We're at the mini-bar, hinihintay na magsimula yung program. Buti na lang may drinks na available, di pa daw pwede kumain e haha bwct.

"Mukha ba akong hanapan ng nawawalang tao?" Ismid ko as I downed a shot of vodka, this is pretty calming not gonna lie. Medyo nawawala yung worries ko kahit saglit.

It's been more than a week simula nung encounter na yun, and he hasn't talked to me since then. Kung makikipag-usap man, parang pilit. Di ko naman alam sasabihin ko, I am not a fan of assuming unless directly stated so I pretty much have a hard time of reading things figuratively. Yawa yan.

Tati was busy pestering me about so many things but my mind just wasn't up for it. Takte lumilipad utak ko, di ko na kaya.

I have to get out.

"Tati I-" Natigilan ako nang biglang nasa harap na naman namin si Geo, asking Tati to entertain his parents for a while. Syempre pa-goodshot si gaga at sumibat agad, leaving me and her boyfriend behind. I took another swig of vodka to ease the tension kasi shuta di ko alam sasabihin ko. My friendship with Geo was something civil, hindi super distant pero hindi naman super close.

"Di kayo nagpapansinan ni Kiel?" He asked habang sumisimsim ng brandy, bakit ba andaming nagtatanong ano ba yan. But I can't afford to snap at him.

"Yeah, isang linggo na din mahigit." I shrugged and took another swig of vodka, taena mapaparami ata ako ng inom ngayon.

"Drinking more won't do you any good, ki." He said with a chuckle, as if alam niya iniisip ko. I was about to snap at him pero he just gave me a small smile, mouthing a silent 'go'.

He knows.

I said a small goodbye to him and walked out.

I need air.
