Someone she used to love
Kahit anong ingay sa loob ng club ay namamayani ang katahimikan sa pagitan naming tatlo. We're again at the 4H club kasama si Ziah.
"I'll order." Caius excused.  Sinundan siya ng tingin ni Ziah. 
"Gosh, sa wakas wala na siya. Ikaw Phyr, tapatin mo nga 'ko. Ikaw ba may nararamdaman sa lalaki na 'yan?" I chuckled on what she said. 
"I do," Napanganga siya sa sinabi ko. "not." Matalim niya akong tinapunan ng tingin na ikinatawa ko na lang.
"Yez, kasi may ibabalita rin ako sa'yo. And I think 'di naman na kailangan pang marinig ng boyfriend mo ang tungkol sa kaniya." Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. Lumapit pa siya sa'kin at mahinang sinabi.
"Andito ex mo." Napatingin ako sa kaniya. 'Di naniniwala. Tumango ito sa'kin kahit na wala pa akong sinasabi.
"Nakita mo na update niya sa instagram niya? Nandito siya sa Pinas." Hindi ko siya binigyan ng reaksyon. The person's already gone for me. So I care less.
"Hays, bakit pa pumunta ang gago, sana doon na lang siya namatay sa New York." She said.
"Stop Zi–" I was about to stop her as I don't want to talk about it when someone interrupted us.
"New here?" Tanong ng isang lalaki. Umupo ito sa harap namin, or should I say, sa harap ko. 
"No." I said.
"You have an insane eyes." He said. Napataas ang kilay ko. The light is not that bright para mapansin pa niya ang mata ko. 
"They're normal, then they just became insane." I said. 
"Um, excuse me?" Sabat ni Ziah sa usapan namin. Binalingan siya ng tingin ng lalaki.
"What." He said sa pabaliwalang tono. 
"She has a boyfriend." Ziah said. The guy looked at me and smirked. 
"I don't see the boyfriend." Sabi nito.
"Turn around." Napaangat ang tingin ko sa likod ng lalaki. And standing there is the proud councils president, Caius. Nilingon ng lalaking kaharap ko ang nagsalita. "Now you see him." Caius said with a smirk.
"Burned." Pabulong na sabi ni Ziah na nasa tabi ko. Napatayo naman ang lalaki. 
"I'm sorry. I thought she's just a nobody." Tinaasan ko ng kilay ang lalaki. Kapal niyang sabihan ako ng nobody e siya nga itong walang hiyang lumapit sa'min. 
Then the guy walked away. Umupo si Caius sa inuupuan nito kanina. He gave me the drink pati ang kay Ziah.
"CR." I excused myself. 
Naglakad na ako papuntang CR. Nasa hall na 'ko daan papunta doon nang matigil ako. Sa pang lalaking palikuran ay lumabas ang isang taong 'di ko inaasahang makikita ko. He stopped when he also saw me.
"Zephyr, I didn't expect to see you here." He said at lumapit sa akin. 'Di ako makapagsalita. 
"Hey? Cat got your tongue?" He again smirked. Before I could utter a word. An arm snaked around my waist.
"Problem? Fucker." I heard a familiar voice. It's Caius. Kris looked at him. 
"Aw, what a bummer, you already have someone new?Is she your girlfriend dude?" 'Di siya sinagot ni Caius. 
Kris looked at me again. 
"Don't feel so lucky Zephyr. Let's see how far he'll go after he know what kind of monster you are." Kris said. 'Di ako makapagsalita para depensahan ang sarili ko. 
"Are you like that when you two are together?" Caius suddenly asked. Binalingan siya ng tingin ni Kris.
"Yeah." He said. He's not. Well, we used to be okay. Not until he found out my biggest secret.
"Then no doubt you're the ex." Caius said saka ako hinawak sa kamay at umalis doon. 
Nagpatianod ako sa pagkakahila nito sa'kin. I didn't even notice na nasa labas na kami ng bar. 
"Tsk, you can defy me but you can't speak for yourself to that fucker." He said nang makalapit kami sa sasakyan nito. 'Di parin ako nagsalita at nakatingin lang sa mga paa ko.
"Your friend did go ahead. She had an emergency." Tumango lang ako sa sinabi nito. Pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto ng sasakyan kaya pumasok na ako. 
Tahimik ako buong biyahe papuntang school dorm. 'Di rin nagsasalita si Caius and I found it comforting. At least he didn't ask me dahil wala rin akong masasabi sa kanya. 
That guy is not the Kris I know. Kris is a childhood friend of mine. He understand. He cares. He's gentle. He loved me. 
We attended the same school together nung nasa ibang bansa pa ako. He became the most important person in my life. Sunod kay Dad. But everything changed that day. He saw it. The devil in me that I tried to hide, I disguised. 
Zephyr.
