CHAPTER 1

Chapter 1: Preparation

Airah

Inilalagay na namin sa compartment yung mga pinamili kong gamit. How stupid of me, sana diniretso ko na to sa condo namin edi hindi na sana kami naghahakot pa ngayon. Hindi na sana nakasimangot 'tong kasama ko.

"You're not that excited naman noh? Gosh! I guess you bought everything what you see in that mall." He rolled his eyes and his forehead creased. No one can paint his face right now.

"I embrace freedom. And I am free to buy whatever I needed." I replied as a matter of fact.

Mas kumunot pa ata yung noo nya sa narinig. Ang daming problema nito.

"Needs? Seriously? Then how can you explain this make up set, useless accessories, junkfoods and whatever all of this are?". He argued as if ipinaglalaban niya ang sanlibutan laban sa mga masasamang nilalang.

I just shrugged at hindi nagpatalo .
"Well, It's for general purpose so I considered that as my needs and besides, naroon na ako kaya binili ko na lang lahat ng pwedeng bilhin. Kapagod kapag pabalik-balik pa ako doon".

I can see that he's about to give up na. Hah! Kailan ba sya nanalo sa digmaan namin?

"You know what? You're the only one I know who got very excited for college. Like gurl! Don't you have any idea what might happened? It might stress you, Gosh! or worst..." He stopped for awhile as if it's a very serious revelation so I lean closer"...it might end your whole existence. Unless you are as smart as me". Ayon nasapak ko pa pero slight lang. Ang hangin talaga nito. But it's true though. He is the current Albert Einstein.

Hinawi ko yung buhok ko and cross my arms. "I am Airah Zuiney Dela Vega, and I can do whatever it is, don't you trust me?. And know what? Malapit na akong magtampo. Don't you like the idea of going to school with me?." I said and pouted.

I can't understand him. He's the one who used to begged at me to go wherever he is as if he can't stand against this world without me.

He look at me as if he's caught off guard. So I raised my eyebrow on him.

"H-hey! It's not like that". Hmm? Something's fishy.

"Are you keeping a secret with me?". Naningkit yung mga mata ko sa kaniya. Saktong tapos na kaming dalhin yung mga gamit ko sa compartment ay nauna na akong pumasok. For drama effect.

Nataranta siya n'ong tumalikod na ako at binuksan yung kotse.

"No I didn't. I never kept a secret from you. You know that Aih!". He reasoned out at pumasok na din sa kotse.

"Okay". Tipid kong sagot.

We are both heading to our condo. Our parents bought a condo for the both of us noong nag 18 na si Zach as a birthday gift habang turning 17 naman ako. Noon pa lang planado na yung papasukan naming college university at malapit lang ito sa pinagplanohan namin which is the Aniston International University so binilhan na kami nina dad.

It's big enough for the two of us. Not to brag but everything of it shouts expensive, as expected. Besides puro babae naman kami according to Zach's view about life so okay lang din for our parents na sa iisang condo nalang kami.

No malice at all like duh. Every since ay close na kami. Honestly, there are things that seems not normal for anyone that is natural for us.

We sleep in one bed most of the time, kiss each other as a friend of course. I guess it's normal for everyone? I'm not sure though since ganito na yung nakagisnan ko. And we even take a bath together, pero before 'yon. That's how close we are.

I even teased him sometimes, nilalandi ko siya. But of course, it's nothing. He completely considered himself as a gorgeous lady and I am very comfortable around him. Actually hindi ako komportable kapag wala siya. Nasanay na ako sa presensya niya.

"Hey! Are you listening? Look, trust me okay. You know me so well and you know that I never kept a secret from you not even once and I will never do it". He assured me and he acted as if he's convincing me to trust him.

I rolled my eyes. Of course I know everything about him. I trust my bestfriend more than anyone, even myself.

I remained quite. Just to watch his funny reaction.

"My Ghad! Believe me Aih please! I'm telling the truth. I will never ke-". Paulit-ulit 'tong baklang 'to.

I laughed so hard just because of his reaction. Like he's about to cry because he thought I didn't believed what he said.

"Wait." I can't stop laughing. "Paulit-ulit ka". Ang babaw ko, I can't help but to laugh pero natahimik din ako dahil sa masamang tingin niya.

"It's not funny, tss. I told you not to stress me out Aih." He just flipped his imaginary long hair.

Maya-maya pa ay dumating na rin kami. Ito na naman, ipapasok pa namin yung gamit ko. Itatapon ko nalang siguro yung mga luma na at ipapalit ito.

Tahimik lang na naglilipat si Zach or Zandra nga daw. I bet nagtatampo 'to. Hanggang natapos ay wala siyang imik na umupo sa sofa.

I sit next to him. "Friendship! Uy friendship naman, I'm sorry okay?". Mas lumapit pa ako at patagilid na niyakap siya.

"Tss, I don't want to see your face". He said at medyo lumayo pa.

Hindi naman ako namimilit, madali naman akong kausap. I never beg, never force, never chase. Ehem! Except for this b*tch. Alam ko namang nagdadrama lang 'to.

"Okay. Fine!". Then tumayo ako to get something to drink.

"You're so unfair! Like.. Arghh! I always explain myself and almost kneeled down whenever you're mad or pissed even though it's not my fault most of the time and showed some efforts but you always just simply said fine, okay or alright when it's me who got mad". He dramatically said.

I just chuckled at him. That's the fact. I guess his greatest fear is when I get mad at him. Madali akong mapatawa pero madali din akong mag-inarte with valid reason.

"You know I love you Zach and you love me more" I playfully laugh. "And when did you got mad at me? Hmm?. Anyways thank you for the help. Muah" I gave him a flying kiss before I went to kitchen.

Aih- pronounced like letter "i". Zach's nickname for Airah.
