"Oh ano? Ganito na lang ba palagi gaudencia?!"

Jesus! Agang-aga sobrang stress na si althea saken! Its not my fault that I use her shampoo to wash natsu with it— actually it was partly my fault but I have no choice alright!

"Oo na althea! I have no choice but to use it okay?! Idiot danilo let natsu play on the putek thats why shes madumi!" Sigaw ko pabalek habang iniimpake ang mga gamit ko.

Natsu was my dog, a japanese spitz and shes also my child. She was a birthday gift from someone when I was 17.

Someone who used to be special to my life.

I let danilo pet sit her while I was out of town and he just let natsu play with his dog in the mud!

Padabog na lumapit saken si althea habang may chinecheck sa phone ko. Teka bat na sa kanya phone ko?

"Nag chat nanay mo viy."

"Oh tapos?" Barubang sagot ko.

"Pina-papunta ka sa condo mo, saktong 12:30 dapat nandun ka na raw." Hinarap niya pa sakin phone ko.

"Ugh why now?!" Huminga ako ng malalim at kinamot ang ulo ko— andami daming araw para bumisita sila pero bakit ngayon pa!

"Pag 'di ka raw pumunta papaluan ka raw ng tsinelas heh."

Kinuha ko phone ko at padabog na umupo sa sofa.

Gaudencia:
Bakit ngayon? Busy ako ma.

My birthgiver:
Dalian mong bruha ka!,,

"Badtrip.." I whispered to myself.

After maligo ni althea sabi ko sasabay ako sa kanya, pero putcha! Pagkatapos ko maligo 'di ko na nakita sasakyan niya.

I got to my car kahit kaka-11:50 am pa lang at malapit lang ang apartment ko.

While driving, I didn't even know what had gotten into me but I stopped at a certain place.

Marikina Clock Tower Arch.

I don't know why I stopped here. Siguro dahil dito kasi nag-simula ang journey ko from being an artist, at dito rin kami tumatambay nila Dan at Thea nung highschool kami! Plus, matagal ko nang hindi binibisita 'to.

Lumabas ako ng sasakyan at huminga ng malalim. Nakakamiss yung mga panahon namin.

Naisipan kong umikot muna sa fountain. Grabe anlaki ng pinagbago! Inayos nila—nawala yung mga crack ng wall clock at ang ganda ng pagkulay nila!

I sat on the side of the fountain, remembering our memories in my mind.

And besides... parang may naramdaman ako. May naupuan ba 'ko? Tumayo ulit ako at may na-upuan akong folder! Jusko lord patawad sa may ari!

Dali-dali ko itong kinuha at baka mahulog pa ito sa may tubig ng fountain. Sino bang tanga nag lagay ng folder sa gilid ng fountain?!

Habang hawak hawak ko ito napa-tingin ako sa folder. Mamaya secret na 'to ng government 'e.

Binasa ko yung naka-sulat na pangalan— gamit nito ay ballpen lamang ngunit parang familiar sa akin ang pag sulat nito.

'Lucius Kahel Sandoval.'

Lucius.. this folder. It was from him.

That one person who used to be 'special' in my life.

"Miss."I heard someone calling me while I looked at the written name.

That voice, I knew it was him.

It was Lucius.

The clock made a sound.

Twelve o clock.

"Miss, the folder you're currently holding are mine."

Hindi ko na siya tinignan. Dali-dali kong inabot sakanya ang folder at umalis kaagad sa lugar na iyon. 

Hindi ko siya tinignan, kahit na konting silip lang 'di ko magawa kahit gusto ko.

Dahil pag tinignan ko siya—alam kong ka-kabisaduhin ko ang kanyang mukha at hahanapin ko siya. Pero habang naglalakad ako palayo, bumibigat na rin ang aking mga nararamdaman.

Unanswered questions about him flooded my brain.

What does he look like now? Alam kong hindi ko siya tinignan, but how is he? He still smells the same.

I miss the scent that I always smell and treasure everyday.

But that one question made my mind blank.

Why is he back?
