I went out of my car to confirm it. I bent my knees and lowered my head to check. I shut my eyes tight, causing my tears to fall more.


Ang suwerte-suwerte ko naman! Darn it. Of all days, ngayon pa talaga ako mafa-flat tire?!Okay pa naman 'to kanina, why is it suddenly...


Okay. Okay. Calm the heck down, Jexcy Ann. Maliit na bagay lang 'to. Kaya 'to. Huwag kang mag-panic. Control your emotions.


"Ano'ng nangyari dyan?"


I froze when I heard someone. I don't even have to check to know who it was. Of course, the universe had to show Third how miserable I am here!


Pasimple kong pinalis ang luha ko at sinagot siya nang hindi lumilingon.


"Na-flat.."


Ano'ng ginagawa niya rito? Akala ko umalis na siya? Bakit niya ako kinakausap? Is he drunk? Hindi niya ako pinansin kanina! Can't he just... stand by that? Tangina. Bakit ngayon niya pa napiling pansinin ako? Pwede ba'ng panindigan niya nalang ang pag-iignora sa'kin?!

"Not her. Si Aldrin..."


Napasinghap ako.

"Iniwan ka?"


What the hell?


He sounded sarcastic to my ears!


"Hindi naman kami magkasama,"

"Right."


Ayaw niya maniwala?


Edi, huwag.


I was about to open my car door when he spoke again.


"Flat nga. Imamaneho mo pa?"


Nilingon ko na siya this time. He was starting to annoy me!


Hindi pwedeng sa loob muna ako habang naghahanap ng pwedeng tumulong?
