"Gosh, I’m freezing. The wind is so cold." Reklamo ni tres habang naglalakad kaming anim pataas upang makabalik sa lugar namin. 

The sun was almost saying goodbye to us while the moon on the other side was about to appear. It was a very beautiful scene. Seeing the moon and sun rise and set at the same time and in the same place. I guess I wouldn’t see anything as beautiful as this ever.

We are currently at the side of the mountain, taking a walk to our home. 

"I told you we should eat something hot, but you only insisted on buying a pancake." Napasabunot si Leora sa kaniyang buhok.

“It’s fine, Leora. Mahal ang mga bilihin sa lugar na pinuntahan natin, nakakahiya kung magpapabili kami ng marami diba?" sagot ni Liam. 

Leora gasped in shock and then immediately pointed out Tres. “This guy almost bought the whole pancake house! Sana nilubos n'yo na. " 

Nanlaki naman ang mata ni tres.

"Y-you're so exaggerated, Leora!" Tres was speaking while his lips were slightly pouted. “I just ate two—no, three orders of pancakes, and it’s not that expensive!."

“Yeah, yeah, you ate even Uno's food! How could you do that to your twin brother? " 

Nagtawanan kaming lahat habang ang dalawa ay nagbabangayan. Sa hindi malamang kadahilanan ay napabaling ako ng tingin kay Nero na ngayon ay bahangyang naka ngiti habang naka tingin kay Leora. When I turned my gaze to Leora, she wasn’t looking at him and just continued arguing with Tres and Liam, who were already butt-in. 

In the past few days that I was helping with my mother, I came back to the playground where I first saw him. It was an unexpected meeting that created a space in my heart. I also remember the time I got to know the true color of his eyes, but I haven’t confirmed it yet. I’m still getting the guts to ask. 

Uno is not gentle when it comes to me, but he was not bad. But the thing I realized is that when I was falling, he wasn’t able to catch me. It feels like his strong arms were not meant for me. 

I smiled and looked at the ground. 

"Oh man, I am really starving. The pancakes weren’t enough and it was too cheap." Sabat ni seb. 

Binalingan siya ni leora at sinamaan ng tingin. "Shut up! You’re not officially part of the group, so shut up!"

"Oh? May membership ba? " Sarkastikong tanong nito.

Tumigil sa paglalakad si Tres at naglabas ng ballpen at papel. Why does he have a pen and paper?

"Meron, bro. Put your name and sign here—"binatukan siya ng Liam. 

"Can we just go home?" bagot na usal ni Leora. "Panigurado nag-aalala na sa akin si lolo."

“Right, we should hurry before—" Hindi niya natapos ang sinasabi niya ng may maramdaman kaming malakas na pag-uyog ng lupa.

I felt a strong hand pull my wrist.

“Was that an earthquake?" Liam said. 

"The earth is shaking!" Tres said with a playful tone. Gosh, this is not a time for jokes. 

Tuluyan ng lumubog ang araw at dumilim ang aming paligid. Hindi pa gaanong mataas ang buwan at natagabunan ito ng may kataasang bundok sa gilid ng daan.

“Okay lang ba kayo?" Boses ni Nero. 

"Yes!" sagot naming lahat. 

“Shiro, stay by my side, okay?” dinig kong boses ni Seb. Although I couldn’t see him, I knew he was the one who pulled me. "Let’s proceed," aniya.
