"EUHAN!"
I scratched my name and massaged the bridge of my nose while reading some files.
"HOY BOSS!" Yohan barged into the room with his best friend, Kean.
"What?"
Both of them smiled at me. Mukhang alam ko na kung anong balak ng mga 'to. I gave them my card and told them to leave.
Tuwang-tuwa naman ang buraot.
After i finished reading the files Jahna gave me, i opened my book to study for the exams next week.
While flipping through the pages of my book, my phone suddenly vibrated. When i looked at the screen, agad akong nagtaka.
The message was from an unregistered number.

And that's where I met this interesting girl, Dreia. She's very loud, pero hindi naman nakakainis. Pero may times rin na makikita mo siyag tahimik at parang may sariling mundo.
After that incident sa clinic palagi na rin kaming nakikita dahil sa meetings. Thanks to Yvette, Yohan's sister, I had the chance to see Dreia often.
And because of that, I didn't even notice that this little interest of mine turned into something deeper.
There was only one thing that was holding me back.
My relationship with Alani.
And, she was in a relationship with my brother.
When I felt things weren't right at hindi na katulad ng dati, I decided to break it off with Alani.
She stopped pestering me for a few days. Kaya naman nalipat uli ang atensiyon ko kay Dreia. We became close, at dahil doon, hindi ko na talaga napigilan ang sarili kong bumagsak.
