CHAPTER 18

Understand.


"Hmm?" I responded when Jai called me.


I'm in my car now. I used the backdoor of the restaurant to escape the scene I hate to see. And I thanked Ram for distracting Famie and Jai, I was able to get out of their sight for a moment.


"I'm sorry, I couldn't get in touch with you. Where are you now?" I heard him sighed.


"Nasa bahay na." I lied.


"Ikaw?" I used to have the happy tone just to avoid any comments from Jai. I know. I know that I should understand him also. He has gone through a lot. From responsibilities down to the management of their company.

Bumusena ito at nagsignal gamit ang ilaw.


Hindi na ako nagtaka, it's Jai. Sana naman hindi niya alam na naroon ako kanina sa restaurant.


Bubuksan ko na sanan ang aking sasakyan para lumabas ngunit biglang pumasok sa shotgun seat si Jai. He's holding his phone in his left ear.
