THIRD PERSON'S POV

the two of them were having a quality time for each other, ngayon lang 'yan, but they didn't feel awkward or anything.

"so, bakit ka nga lumayo?" biglang tanong naman ni Miguel.

"it was a long story, but I'm not ready to tell you yet." Liam answered him.

and then, they filled with silence, sa ngayon naka-upo lang sila sa sala, nanonood ng pelikula. may pagkain sa harapan, may alak, pero hindi naman matapang.

yung naka-kaya lang.

"kaya ka ba umalis kasi nang dahil sa akin?" biglang nagtanong si Miguel. 

"siguro?" sagot naman ni Liam.

at katahimikan na naman, most of the time tahimik lang sila. at, hindi rin komportable si Liam dahil sa pinapanood nilang pelikula. 

taguan din ng anak.

hindi niya alam kung paano na aakto ngayon, dahil part na ng kissing scene.

alam na niya kung saan papunta 'to.

"you're not comfortable?" Miguel asked him.

tumango na lang si Liam, sasagot na sana siya nang biglang tinigil ang pelikula at pinatay na lang ang tv. 

"bakit ginawa mo 'yon?" tanong naman ni Liam.

"kasi hindi ka komportable." sagot naman ni Miguel.

napatahimik na lang si Liam at ininom na yung beer, nabigla na lang siya nang bigla siyang yakapin ni Miguel mula sa gilid.

"I'm being honest right now, Liam." Miguel said. "I missed you so much." Miguel said with firm in his voice.

gusto mang sabihin ni Liam na he feels the same way, pero natatakot pa rin siyang mag-commit. takot siya sa magiging mangyari, pero wala naman siyang mapapala kung inuuna niya ang kaniyang takot.

so...

"I missed you too, Migu..." Liam replied and, "so much." he added.

they've been like that for a minute, a moment later, Miguel started to kiss Liam's neck, his soft spot kumbaga.

Liam bit his lower lip, afraid that his mouth will left some lewd noises, and you know, it's been a while and it was new to him.

nakakapanibago kapag matagal na, and he didn't know if he should control his moans or he should not — but the way Miguel kiss and lick his neck, he was tempted, and there he is, a moan escape to his mouth because he can't control it anymore.

gusto niyang tumagal, gustong-gusto niya. but then, naistorbo sila — a phone call interrupt their steamy session, but not that steamy yet.

"I got a phone call, I guess hindi na muna matutuloy." Miguel says and that made Liam blushed.

'wala naman akong pake kung hindi matutuloy?' - Liam.

LIAM'S POV

after that, hinatid na ako ni Miguel sa bahay namin, tinanong niya rin ako kung kailan ako babalik sa "dati" kong bahay. actually, wala naman na akong balak na lumipat ulit dun at kontento naman na ako, at least kasama ko na si Xander.

I was with Xander right now at ngayon kinu-kwento niya sa akin kung ano ang ginawa nila ng Tito Cho niya, I was happy for him kasi nakalaro niya ang isa sa mga kaibigan ni Miguel.

"do you have fun with Tito Cho, Xander?" i asked him.

"of course Papa!" Xander answered. "but I was confuse po Papa, kasi he's talking to someone else using different language po." he added.

"Tito Cho is a half Chinese, anak." I response.

Xander nodded and he's surprise too, I chuckled kasi napaka-cute ng anak ko kapag nagugulat, and I also saw the amusement in his eyes.

"I want to learn Chinese tuloy!" he exclaimed.

"go baby, I'll support you." I replied.

he nodded and smiling from ear-to-ear, I adore my son so much, kaya susuportahan ko siya sa mga gusato niya hanggang sa pag laki niya.

as Xander is continuing playing, ako naman ay nagluto na ng hapunan namin, nagtataka na tuloy ako kung okay lang si Shiro, hindi ko pa siya nati-text at nakakausap.

sa'n na kaya 'yon?

after I cooked our dinner, hindi na ako mapakali, I was worried for Shiro, lalo na't ngayon ay malaki ang kaniyang problema.

"papa, where's Tito Shiro po?" tanong ni Xander.

"hindi ko rin alam kung nasaan si Tito Shiro mo, I'll try to contact him later okay?" I answered at napatango naman siya.

nagtataka na si Xander kung bakit hindi na nagpapakita si Shiro, para na rin kasing kadugo ni Xander si Shiro.

inabot ko ang phone ko sa tabi ng plato ko, sinubukan kong i-contact si Shiro pero out of coverage siya.

tatawagan ko pa sana si Shiro nang biglang tumunog ang phone ko, akala ko si Shiro ang tumawag, 'yon pala si Miguel.

I answered his call and bumuntong hininga.

"hello Migu?"

"Shiro's here." he said na bigla kong ikina-gulat.

"bakit diyan dumeretso si Shiro?" tanong ko sa kaniya.

"ewan ko sa kaniya, at kasama niya si Jax." sagot niya sa akin.

I sighed in relief, buti naman at ligtas siya, nag-usap pa kami ni Miguel at maya-maya lamang ay ibinaba ko na ang tawag.

I tell Xander that his Tito Shiro is fine, and also he don't need to worry because everything will be fine.

nanood ako ng balita at nagulat ako sa aking nakita, it was Miguel who featured on the news...

paano ko ba 'to sasabihin sa kaniya?

and the news was all about...

him and his Tita?

MIGUEL'S POV

"who the fuck..." I said.

I was surprise when my face, featured on the fucking news. and... it was my Auntie...

"Cho, s-sino... sinong gumawa nito?" tanong ko kay Cho na kakarating pa lang.

"obvious naman na 'yang punyeta mong Auntie ang gumawa nito, just to gain the attention of those fucking bashers of yours." Cho answered.

nanginginig ang kamay ko, hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko. may mukha pa ba akong ihaharap sa mga tao? sa mga nagmamahal sa akin?

kay Liam?

may maihaharap pa ba ako sa kaniya?

napatingin ako kay Cho dahil tumutunog ang kaniyang phone, napatingin ako sa kaniyang phone at nakita ko ang pangalan ni Liam.

I gulped, mas lalo akong kinakabahan.

paano na.
