30.

'Maggie! Let's go na, you're gonna be late for your dance class na!' Sigaw ng mama ko sa labas, it's been two weeks! Two weeks akong nakatunganga, resting and thinking.

'Coming Ma!' sigaw ko at nagmadaling bumaba ewan ko pero excited ako, maybe because I'll see him again. This past two weeks we never contact each other, given na he's busy and me? Uh... I was thinking of something.

'Dalian mo na anong oras na!' She said and pushed me inside the car 'What's with the rush ma?' Tinanong ko sya, fixing my make-up 'may visitor kasi sa kompanya, need ko din mag-ayos no!' She said tuckling her hair behind her ears 'You look gorgeous everytime mama' I said and smiled sweetly.

'May gusto ka 'no?'

Agad akong nasamid 'h-ha? What do you mean ma?' I can feel my sweats building, malamig naman bakit ako pinagpapawisan? 'May gustong bilhin? Kakaiba ngiti mo e' phew! Nakahinga ako ng maayos don, I thought she already knew!

'Wala naman mama! Minsan na nga lang ako maging sweet e!' I said and rolled my eyes 'Sus! Basta if may want ka don't hesitate to tell me ha?' She said and drove off.

'AHHH FRENNY YOU'RE BACK!' Nagulat ako sa pagtakbo ni Steph sakin 'HAHA HELLO!' I hugged her 'Yes! I have kasama na!' After we talked we went inside na 'oh there's new?' Tingin ko dun sa tatlong bagong recruite, they're all boys pa!

'Ahh oo, last week lang yan nagsimula' sabi nya at umupo sa tabi ko 'si Britney?' Tanong ko, himala wala sya? 'Suspended' sabi nya at umirap 'What? Why?' nagulat pa sya sa reaction oo 'anong what? Why? Kadyan? Dapat ang sasabihin mo DESURB! naospital ka kaya ng dalawang linggo dahil sakanya!' She yelled kaya pinagtinginan kami.

Britney's friends were still here, lahat sila ay hindi makatingin sakin. Wala naman silang kasalanan but why do I feel that they also feel guilty? Or baka napag planuhan na nila yon kaya guilty rin sila?

'Good Morning class'

It was Riki who spoke, he was wearing a sweater with a matching pair of sweat pants, he's also wearing a plain pair of shoe. Everything looks simple but he's making it looks so elegant! Ang gwapo and hot at the same time.

When he saw me, he automatically smiled which made me smiled too! While the girl beside me is making a suspicious smile kaya napatingin ako sakanya 'What?' I ask her naguguluhan bakit ganon yung tingin nya 'what-er' she hilariosly laugh, nababaliw na ba ang isang toh?

We started practicing with the song given, Under the influence. Ang dali habang pinapanood namin yung sayaw sa screen! Pero nung trinay na namin mismo it was hard. I was scratching my head the whole time, dissapointed.

'Okay, everyone sit down' Riki said, nung umupo kami he placed himself in the middle, 'let me show you the proper moves for the dance' sabi nya at nagsimula na ang kanta. He's body moves flawlessly with the song, parang basic lang lahat ng galaw sakanya! His emotions also speaks well! Para syang nasa ilalim ng spotlight na kukuhanin ang attention mo everytime he moves.

'Bhe baka matunaw si Sir' Steph giggled 'whatever Steph' I rolled my eyes making her laugh more 'dalawang linggo ka lang nawala parang close na close na kayo ni Coach ah?' She said while her eyes are on Riki 'He took care of me, that's why' I honestly said.

When the bell rang we all went out, di naman ako gutom so kakain nalang ako later. Riki on the other side was ordering his food, halatang kilala sya dito kasi pinagtitinginan sya specially the girls. Can't blame them though.. Riki is like a walking angel.

When he was dancing.. butterflies are building in my stomach. 'Steph, what do you feel if you like someone?' I suddenly said 'Uhm? Kinikilig? Tas parang may paro-parong naglalaro sa tyan mo? Ano pa ba? Want mo sya makita everytime! Na kahit kakahiwalay mo lang sakanya e gusto mo na syang makita ulit!' She excitedly said.

Weird.. I was feeling that for the past weeks.. Do I likes him already? 'Bakit do you like Riki?' She casually said making me swallowed nervously.. 'I don't know? Ikaw nung nakita mo ba si Riki you never had a crush on him?' when I ask her that, para syang nagpipigil ng tawa! 'why? May nakakatawa ba?'

'Pano ko magugustahan si Coach e kuya ko yan?' She smiled 'What?' Naguguluhan akong tumingin sakanya 'kapatid ko yan, half brother'  she said and shrugged! Ah! Kaya pala medyo magkamukha sila.. they have features na magkaparehas sila.. 'kapatid ko sya sa nanay' she said and looked down.

'Hey..' she looked at me and smiled 'ayos lang ako!' She said and looked away 'do you wanna talk about it? I'm willing to listen..' tinignan ko sya, she looks hesitant pero she smiled.

'Sige.. tutal matagal ko na din naman kinikimkim toh.. mas okay siguro kung ilabas ko no?'

She sigh heavily before starting 'My mother.. she cheated on Riki's father, and hanggang ngayon wala silang kaalam alam, or maybe alam nila? Pero wala silang pake. My mother left me with my dad. But he always beats me up, kaya nilayasan ko sya... alam mo? Kaya ako sumali dito sa dancing lesson natoh? Hindi naman para mag improve ako sumayaw e.. dahil gusto kong makita yung nanay ko... kaso never syang pumunta dito.. gusto ko man kausapin si Riki about don pero feeling ko wala syang alam, maybe he would think I'm delusional. Gumagawa ng kwento and stuffs. Ang sakit lang kasi tinapon lang ako ng nanay ko... Maggie all this time I want to meet my mother.. hindi ako nagtanim ng galit sakanila ni papa kasi alam kong may dahilan... even tho im suffering and forcing myself to live? Hindi ko magawang magalit sakanila.. I just want to ask her why?'

Her tears rolled down her cheeks, I never thought that the happy go lucky Steph has a problem like this... I'm used to seeing her smile and laugh.. but she's hurting..

'I-i'm so sorry Steph..' I hugged her, she was just crying on my shoulder 'Do you want me to help you?' Napatigil sya at tumingin sakin 'Pano?' She ask habang pinupunasan ang luha nya 'Ill talk to him.' I said and smiled, Riki needs to know this. I know he would understand, I know he will.

Nung uwian na agad kong sinundan si Riki 'Hey!' tawag ko agad naman syang lumingon 'Maggie! Hi, do you need anything?' Inosente nyang sabi 'Yes. I need to talk to you' I said and smiled, we went to a park nearby and sat at the bench 'So.. what do you need to say Maggie?' He looks so curious, huminga ako ng malalim bago nagsalita.

'Are you aware that you have a sister?'
