When I got back to the station, they were all waiting outside the kubo except for Yuri. They look at me worriedly.

"Babe? Are you okay? Anong nangyari?" Sunod sunod na tanong ni Riri, naghihintay naman silang lahat sakin magsalita.

"I'm fine guys don't worry, andito tayo para mag enjoy diba? O sge na matutulog muna ako at mag bonfire tayo mamayang gabi!" Masiglang sabi ko at nginitian sila, Lahat sila napangiti at pumasok na sa kani kanilang kubo maliban kay Riri

"Tara pasok ka" When we got in wala si Yuri kaya't doon ko pinakawala ang aking mga luha.

Umiiyak ako ng malakas habang lumuluhod, napaluhod din si Riri at niyakap ako.

"Ba't nagpakita pa siya? Sana hinayaan niya man lang akong hindi siya makita, ilang taon naman na ang lumipas ba't hindi parin nawawala yung sakit na dinulot niya" Pahagulhol kong sabi.

Hinawakan ni Riri ang aking magkabilang pisnge pinunasan ang mga luhang sunod sunod na pumapatak.

"Let it out babe, let it out" her voice cracked still hugging me. She led me to the bed at doon kami naupo, humahagulhol parin ako.

Then I noticed Yuri was there on the couch the whole time looking at us. Ah bahala na basta gusto kong maiyak for todays bidyow.

"I-i think you can go Riane, I'll rest muna" she was hesitant at first but she knows that every time I want space, I super need it.

Alone time has always been my safe space.

"Just call me later for dinner alright?, Don't worry na I'll be fine prinactice ko na to ng ilang taon diba, you said I'm strong" She nodded and kissed my forehead she then went out.

Humiga ako sa kama and I heard footsteps coming towards me. I am facing sideways, and small sobs are coming out of my mouth, kaya tinakpan ko ito at pumikit.

I was startled when I felt a hand on my cheek. I opened my eyes and saw Yuri giving me a comforting look.

"I'm here shh...I can be your shoulder to cry on" She said wiping my tears.

At ayun sunod sunod na luha na naman ang lumabas sa aking mga mata. Tumayo ito palayo at bumalik na may dalang tubig. "Here, drink this muna" She motioned me to sit down so I did.

She sat below me at nakayuko ako sa kaniya. Why is she staring, I look like shit right now. Ngumiti ito ng matipid at kinuha yung baso at nilagay sa table.

Humiga ako ulit but this time facing the ceiling. I felt the bed burying down, at doon ko napansing humiga din siya but she's looking at me. I tilted my body to look at her. We're now staring at each other.

She moved closer to me, now I can smell her minty breath, I didn't care I'm tired to object. "You're beautiful" I blurted out, napatakip ako ng bibig ngunit kinuha niya ito at nilagay sa kanyang pisnge.

"You are beautiful" she said softly still holding my hand on her cheek. She then moved closer to me and hugged me tightly. My head facing her chest. Shet ang bango, nakakalimutan kong may pinagdadaanan pala ako. I also hugged her back at di namalayang naka tulog na pala.

"Yes! Mag wawal-wal tayo!" Sigaw ni Levi kasama si Gillian na may dalang tatlong tequila, calamansi, asin at junkfoods.

"Andami naman niyan Levi!" Suway ni Alana at napakamot nalang sa ulo.

Andito kami ngayon sa beach umuupo at nakaharap sa bonfire, katabi ko na naman si Riri at Yuri.

Lumipas ang ilang minuto nakarating na si Cece dala yung mga marshmallows at sticks. Isa isa niya kaming binigyan ng sticks at kumuha narin ako ng marshmallow.
