CHASING TWENTY FIVE

"XAY? YOU okay?"

Natauhan ako ng magsalita si Kein sa tabi ko tumango naman ako. "Oo, may iniisip lang" sabi ko pero mukhang di siya satisfied sa sagot ko.

"Is something bothering you? Care to tell me?" tanong niya napabuntong hininga na lang ako. I can't lie to her. I look at her and she look so woried.

"Kein..." sabi ko at hinawakan ang kamay niya na nakapatong sa island counter ng kusina ng bahay namin.

"I'm okay, and I'm alright, ikaw? Is something bothering you? You look pale" sabi ko nag-iwas naman siya ng tingin sakin "I'm okay too, Xay and no one bothering me or things" sagot niya.

"Okay ka lang ba sa ginagawa mo? I heard you continue your career?" tanong ko dahil itinuloy niya ang modeling niya after ng nangyari sa kanya.

"Yeah, and sorry kung di ko agad sinabi sayo, that is the easy way to make my own name in industry Xay, para pag naging designer ako ay makilala agad ako, hope you understand me" nakayukong sabi niya.

"Hey Kein, okay lang sakin, as long as your fine with that and you are happy what you are doing, I'm okay" sabi ko tumango naman siya then she hug me tight.

"Thank you, dont leave me okay? Again, please Xay stay" nakiki-usap na sabi ni Kein I scrub her hair then close my eyes, naramdaman kong humikbi siya.

For the second time, someone told me to stay, and never leave them

"I can't promise, but I'll stay I'm here Kein, I'll never leave you" sabi ko tumango naman siya at kumalas sa yakap, she wipe her own tears. "Kamusta naman kayo ni Evance? Still strong?" tanong niya tumango ako.

"Okay lang naman, ahm his grandmother just came home now so he leave early" sabi ko nanlaki naman ang mata niya "What?! Grandmother?!" tanong niya sakin at napahawak pa sa bibig niya.

"Oo, yun ang sabi niya sakin kanina bago siya umalis" sagot ko pero ganun pa din ang reaksyon niya, talaga bang nakakatakot yun? Terror?

"Xay, Evance's grandmother is scary as hell, promise napaka supistikada nun and take note, she's so perfectionist"csabi niya kaya napalunok ako sa sinabi niya.

"Nakwento sakin yan ni Evance, His grandmother didn't like Laineth so, they end up but Evance fight for her, and Laineth betray him so they totally apart" sabi ko tango-tango naman ang sagot niya.

"Elaine Del Luna Bautista, yan ang pangalan ng Lola nila or Mamita nila, and Xay if haharap ka sa kanya you have a good and high background you came from rich and powerful family" sabi niya

"Natakot na tuloy ako" sabi ko at napahawak pa sa dibdib ko "Bakit? Kailan ka ba ipapakilala? Oh my gosh Xay, tell me okay? So I can help you choose what is the best suit for you" exited na sabi niya na akala mo ay ipapakilala na ako.

"Kein, Kein, easy we didn't talk about that okay? We never plan that" sabi ko tumango naman siya at magsasalita na sana siya ng tumunog ang phone niya.

"Wait lang sis" sabi niya at sinagot ang tawag. "Oh? Harry? Need anything?" tanong niya madali ko lang nahulaan na si Zach yun, her bestfriend.

"Nasa bahay — Wala naman, having talks with my sister" sabi ni Kein at binalingan ako, kaya kumunot ang noo ko "Nyeta ka — Stop pestering me Harry — You scumbag — Okay fine" irap na sabi ni Kein.

"Just fetch me — Of course, dinner yan so dapat by 6:30 ay nandito ka na — Yeah whatever Harry" sabi ni Kein pinagmasdan ko siya she smiled, she looks happy with her bestfriend.
