"ASHTON?"

"Jas? I'm sorry, ngayon lang ako tumawag. We got a problem here in Zambales." He said breathless.

"Wait. Y-you're in Zambales? Why?" Naguguluhan kong tanong. I'm confused but at the same time gumaan ang pakiramdam ko.

"I'm really sorry, Jas. I can't make it tonight. Maybe, next Saturday nalang? Babawi ako. I'm sorry!" He then hang up.

Napatitig ako sa number ni Ashton. I think it's a big problem. Hindi niya namam siguro ako papatayan agad ng tawag kung hindi ganoon ka impotante kung ano mang problema nila sa Zambales.

I sighed. Pero sana sinabi niya ng mas maaga. Tumayo ako at tumitig sa salamin. I'm wearing a sequin red short dress. Pinaghandaan ko ang gabing 'to because of him. I'm kinda disappointed.

I was about to undress myself but my phone rang. Binalik ko ulit ang strap ng dress at sinagot ang tawag.

It's Indigo. I think she's celebrating her birthday now. I put the cellphone away slightly because of the sudden loud music in the background.

I smiled. "Hi, Die! Happy birthday!"

"Where are you?! Papunta ka na ba?! I'm waiting, Jas!"

"Die-"

"Shut up and just come over her!"

I gasped. Napatingin ako sa screen ng cellphone ko. The hell with them?

Napagdesisyunan kong pumunta na lamang sa birthday ni Indigo. I also don't want to disappoint her. So I immediately picked my car key and my shoulder bag. I turned off all the lights.

Nang bumukas ang elevator ay agad na tumambad ang kotse ko. It's Chevrolet. Dad bought it for me when i was eighteen.

Tinignan ko ang oras sa cellphone. It's already nine pm. Sana hindi traffic. Mabilis akong pumasok sa kotse atagad na pinaandar.

I opened the window near me. It's refreshing. But suddenly I felt my heart beat faster, causing me to reach for it.

"What's... wrong?" Bulong ko.
