Sandro's POV:
"Hey, are you okay?" Agad ko syang tinanong ng bigla nya akong niyakap.
"Hiraya... ano bang nangyari." I asked her again.
She looked up at me habang tumutulo ang luha sa mga mata nya.
I can see how worried she was.
"Akala ko may mangyayari ng masama sayo." She uttered.
"Shh.. I'm okay..Thanks to you." I told her habang nakayakap ulit sa kanya.
Hinimas ko naman ang ulo nya habang nakasandal sa dibdib ko.
"Sandro?" Nagulat naman ako when I saw Simon standing sa may gate ng apartment ni Hiraya.
Bigla din kumawala sa akin si Hiraya at lumayo ng kaunti.
Simon looked so betrayed.
"What is going on?" He asked.
"Simon... I--"
"Are you two dating?" He asked again.
Hindi ko naman alam kung anong sasabihin ko sa kanya.
Natahimik ako.
"Hindi.. we are not dating." Napalingon ako kay Hiraya.
May kirot naman akong naramdaman sa sagot niya.
"Then... why are you hugging?" He asked.
"Um... may nangyari kasi.. tapos.. nakita niya akong umiiyak.. kaya kino-comfort nya lang ako." Hiraya explained.
"Totoo ba yun?" Tanong ni Simon sa akin.
I looked at Hiraya again and she looked at me like giving me signal to say yes.
"Yes." Sagot ko.
Pero masakit.
"Ow.. I'm sorry.. I just thought.. you two were having a moment." He said at lumapit kay Hiraya.
"I heard what happened sayo.. you got suspended daw?"
"Um oo.. pero kailangan ko lang magbigay ng report and explanation bukas." Sagot ni Hiraya sa kanya.
"Ano nga pala ang ginagawa mo dito Simon?" Bigla naman akong nagtanong.
Simon looked at me.
"I was just going to ask Hiraya to dinner..if she'd like to." He said at tiningnan si Hiraya.
Napayuko na lang ako.
"Um.."
"Please? Matagal kitang hindi nakita eh." Simon said.
Hindi ko naman alam kung anong dapat kong gawin habang nag-uusap sila sa harapan ko.
"O sige.." She answered.
"Yes!" Simong exclaimed.
"Sasabay ka ba?" Hiraya asked me at nagulat naman ako na hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko.
I looked at Simon and he gave me this look to say no.
I am caught in between in whether to stop this now or to let this flow.
"Uh.. no.. I still have somewhere else to be." I said at umatras ako.
Hiraya looked at me and I can see in her eyes that she was disappointed.
Or is it just me?
"Ah." She said.
"Sige bro.. I'll see you later." Simon tapped my shoulder at ngumiti lang ako.
"Hiraya.. I'll go ahead." I said and she gave me a subtle smile.
Hindi na ako lumingon sa kanila dahil may kakaibang sakit ako na nararamdaman.
Nasa biyahe na ako pauwi ng biglang pumutok ang gulong ng sasakyan ko.
Mabuti na lang at na-kontrol ko pa ang manebela and I immediately pulled over.
"Fck." I exclaimed when I saw my tires.
Nasa gilid ako ng daanan at kokonti lang ang dumadaan dito.
"I should have learned how to change tires." I said to myself.
I was about to call Via para puntahan ako dito kasama ang security ko.
I don't usually drive alone pag pauwi kaso madami akong iniisip eh.
Dumagdag pa si Hiraya.
Napansin ko naman na may padaan na tricycle kaya agad akong sumakay ng sasakyan ko para hindi ako. makilala.
Via wasn't even answering.
Si Vinny na sana ang tatawagan ko when...
"Sir Sandro?" I heard a soft knock on my window and nagulat ako to see Mirana.
She was still wearing her uniform.
Bumaba naman ako and she immediately greeted me.
"Hi sir!" She was waving her hand in front of me.
"Um hello." I said.
"Anong ginagawa nyo dito mag-isa sir?" She asked and napansin nya yung gulong ng sasakyan ko.
"Hala..." Agad niya naman itong nilapitan.
"Buti hindi ka napano sir."
"Yeah.. Buti nga." Tipid naman akong sumagot sa kanya.
"Ba't hindi nyo pa po pinapalitan? Wala kayong spare tires?" She asked.
"Meron.."
"Pero hindi ako marunong magpalit eh." I said habang nakakamot sa batok.
She chuckled.
She looked cute.
"Buti na lang talaga pogi ka sir." She said.
"What do you mean?" Nakakunot na ang noo ko.
"Wala talagang ginawang perfect si Lord."
"Excuse me?" Medyo na-annoy ako ha.
"Ay... I mean, hindi ka marunong magpalit ng gulong sir pero pogi ka at matalino. Kaya okay na din yun." She said habang nakangiti.
"Whatever... anyways, tatawagan ko na lang si Vinny--"
"Ay wag na sir. Ako na lang magpapalit nito." She immediately said.
"Huh? You?" I raised an eyebrow on her.
"Oh di ba, hindi ka marunong magpalit ng gulong tapos ako marunong."
"Oy match made in heaven" She said smiling.
