Kei

From Ate Amyra:
Make sure na uuwi ka pa ha? I'll tell Lola nalang na you're with Aeron. Goodnight!

From Kei:
Yes po! Goodnight!

I turned off my phone and quickly put it in my pocket. I decided to go out after a tiring day sa karinderya. The only problem is hindi ko nagawang mag-paalam sa Lola ko at sa mga kaibigan ko. For sure they'll be worried.

It's already 3:09 AM and I am still here, A place where it was full of pretty flowers. Tahimik lang akong naglalakad at sinasamantala ang katahimikan ng buong lugar.

I kept talking to the flowers infront of me, mukha akong baliw but it's fine, wala namang boses ang mga bulaklak hindi naman nila ako gagawing katatawanan.

"When the day comes, I hope I can be just like you." I said. No one answered, no one heard what I said. No one was there to stop me from saying that. It made me feel so happy.

As I was taking a glance of the flowers I heard something. Agad akong lumingon at malayo palang ay nakikita ko na ang anino ng isang lalaki papunta sa direksyon ko.

I wanted to run, I wanted to scream for help but my curiosity is killing me. Gusto kong makita kung masamang tao ba to o katulad ko lang na naisipang lumabas ng ganitong oras.

"It's late, why are you still out here?" He asked as he walks towards my direction. Sumimangot ako nagkibit balikat. Why does he care?

Hindi ko siya sinagot at nagsimulang maglakad. I never wanted to talk to him, I know I should be thankful for what he did before pero sana hinayaan niya nalang akong bumagsak doon.

While walking I could still hear his footsteps, sinusundan pa rin niya ako at hinayaan ko lang siya. He's going to be tired following me around for sure. I'll just have to ignore him and it'll be done.

"Hey! Are you a ghost or something?" He asked me. How I wish I was one.

"Kei, are you going to ignore me all the way?" He asked me again. And still I didn't answered his question.

"I swear, this place and this situation i've had a dream about this." He said. I stopped walking at turned around to face him. He wasn't looking at me but at the flowers.

I looked at him, he was busy examining the flowers infront of him. He smiled at the sight of the flowers. He smelled them making him smile even more, paulit ulit niya itong inamoy bago pinitas at tumayo.

He walked slowly into my direction and gave me the flowers he picked, i looked at stared at it and stared at him too quickly looking at the flower and taking glances at him.

"Hindi pa ako patay, excited ka ba?" I asked him. He laughed before taking my hands and forcing to give me the flower. I kept looking at him with a huge frown on my face.

"First time receiving a flower? You shouldn't accept the flower with a frown." He said. I gave him back the flower.

"I didn't ask you to give me that. I'm going home, try following me and I'll call the police on you." I said before walking away and leaving him there.

"I'll visit sa karinderya niyo bukas! Make sure you're there ha?" I didn't listen to what he said and just continued walking. I don't even know him but I am starting to get irritated.

Gabriel

Nakatingin lamang ako sakanya habang naglalakad siya papaalis. I don't know, I feel so attached to him, hindi ko naman siya kilala.

I looked around, no one was here, i am alone and free. Tanging ang street lights at ang buwan ang nagbibigay sakin ng liwanag.

I took my phone and looked at the time, It was already 3:30 am, I also noticed the notifications and messages sent by my Father. Pagagalitan na rin naman ako,  susulitin ko na.

I gently placed my skateboard down and sat on it watching the field of flowers infront of me, Just like in my dream.

Everything is fine, everything is quiet, everything is calm and everything is making me feel less lonely and worried. I wanted to stay here, I wanted to be here.

"I came back only to say na magiingat ka pauwi." Agad akong napalingon dahil sa gulat. I saw Kei standing there looking at me.

"Oh... Yes, yes. I'll be careful, Ikaw din!" I answered him. He nodded and I waved goodbye to him. He started walking away again.

Hindi na nawala sa isip ko ang panaginip ko mula noong makarating ako rito at makita siya. But something feels wrong, Why does it feels wrong?

As I was about to leave, a car stopped next to me. I turn to look at it and sighed deeply knowing whose car it was.

"Sakay." Hindi niya pa nasasabi ng buo binuksan ko na ang pinto ng kotse niya. I sat at the back seat and took a glance at him. He then gave me a death glare before starting to drive. I hate it here.
