Today

Hannah's POV

It's been a week since Ken and I last talked. Sinasabi ko na nga ba at hindi naman totoo ang mga sinasabi niya. See? Alam niya na sigurong hindi niya talaga ako makukuha kaya tumigil na siya. Damn shit! Ganun naman talaga yun diba?

They would pursue you. Say they love you and shit pero in the end iiwan at papaasahin ka lang. Liars.

"Hannah! Kung san san nanaman nakakarating yang utak mo" Sabi sakin ni Erika. I looked at her and smile.

"Mauna ka na umuwi. May pupuntahan pa ko eh" I said to her. Tumango naman siya at naglakad na palayo. I texted Paul, tinatanong ko siya kung asan siya pero di siya nagrereply sakin. 

Lagi siyang ganito lately. Hindi ko alam pero kinukutuban ako na may nangyayari nanaman. Hindi pa ba sila nagsasawa? Itatago nanaman nila to sakin.

Rex calling...

Tinitigan ko ng ilang segundo ito bago ko pinindot ang answer call. Hindi ako nagsalita, hinintay kong magsalita si Rex.

(Is thia Hannah?)

Napasmirk ako. Something's up. I'm sure. With just the tone of his voice alam kong may secret siyang sasabihin.

"Yes it's me. Why?"

(Are you busy? Where are you?)

Napataas ako ng kilay at lumingon lingon sa paligid. I saw his car sa kalayuan. He can't see me, I'm sure.

"I'm not. I'll be there in 3 minutes. Start your engine."

Binabaan ko na siya at pumara ng tricycle. Binayaran ko si manong at dumiretso na sa loob ng sasakyan niya. Nagulat ako ng makita kong naglilinis siya ng tama sa kanyang balikat. Daplis lang naman ito.

"What happened to you?" I asked curiously. He rolled his eyes before he answered.

"Had a little fight with your lover," nagkibit balikat siya.

"Who?" Nagtataka kong tanong.

"Oh I'm sorry. I forgot you have 3 lovers..." bakas ang panunukso sa kanyang boses.

"Shut up Rex. Sino nga? And who the hell is my third lover? You?"

"Woah. You're hot but no offense, you're not my type." Natatawa nitong sagot sakin.

"Why did you call?" Iritang tanong ko sakanya.

"May nangyayari ba sa mejai's? Are they back to business?" Agad ko siyang tinaasan ng kilay sa tanong niya.

"I think there is but I don't really now. Why?" He sighed at inabot sakin ang isang envelope

"Your clan... it's gaining back its population. Usap usapan na sa mga clans ito."

The envelope was full of pictures of men. Sila siguro and tinutukoy niya.

"Possible reason they say is... you're planning to start a war... again."

Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya. No. This is not possible.

"Nakaharap namin si Paul. They just fired at us." Napailing ako. What have I done?

Paul's calling...

I turned to look at Rex at tumango siya. I answered the call.

(Hannah? Where are you? Go home----)

"I'm still at school."

(Get out of there now. Go home!)

He ended the call. Saktong pagbaba nun ay ang pagtunog ng cellphone ni Rex. Ni loud speaker niya yun.
