KAIA'S POV

Hindi ko alam kung paano natapos ang dinner kagabi. Leo walked out, sinundan siya nila Die at Alex, silence followed next, we just finished our food in an awkward atmosphere.

Until Aubrey and Nanay Ceci teased me nonstop after dinner. While Die, Alex, and Tatay Rey interrogated Yra outside the house. Hindi ko na sinubukang sumunod sa kanila hanggang sa umuwi nalang sina Aubrey at Alex sa kanilang bahay.

Umakyat na ako sa kwarto ko para tawagan sila Yumi at Flynn and told them everything. They became emotional and at the same time so happy about what I said.

Sinabi rin pala ni Flynn na kilala niya talaga si Yra dahil nakakasama niya ito minsan sa trabaho na ginagawa nila. Rinig ko pa nga yung sunod sunod na mura niya at sinisigaw pa na uuwi raw ng Pilipinas.

Si Yumi naman sinabi na dito rin sa Pilipinas i-c'celebrate ang birthday ng twins at hanggang manganak siya ay dito na muna sila.

Pag katapos kong sabihin sa kanila ang lahat ay natulog na rin ako at hindi na hinintay si Yra dahil kinakausap pa siya.

~~

I woke up so early kahit na hindi naman ako ganun nakatulog agad dahil sa nangyari sa buong araw ko kahapon.

I made sure to understand and let everything sink in. Pinakiramdaman ko rin ang sarili ko.

Maybe Yra and I feel the same towards each other.

Maybe I fell in love with her long ago before I even accepted that I really did.

I'm just scared to be in a relationship again because of the past. Or takot lang din ako dahil we are both women? Pero walang kaso sa akin iyon dahil tulad ng sabi ko ay open kami nila Yumi at Flynn sa same gender relationship.

But I'm scared that just like them, Yra will leave me too and it will break me more if ever that happens. But at the same time, I want to take a risk....again. Baka sakaling hindi naman siya katulad nila. Baka Yra is different, Yra will stay with me and will never leave me. She won't hurt me.

I really like Yra being with me all the time even if she's so annoying. Nasanay na ako lagi na nandiyan siya not because she's my protector. It's because I feel comfortable, safe, and happy, and I'm being me whenever she's around.

Siya lang ata ang nakakatiis ng kamalditahan at kasungitan ko.

She always makes my heart happy to the point that it hurts in a pretty good way.

I've missed her when she's away for four days. Hinahanap hanap ko ang presence niya, ang boses niya even her pagiging asal kanyo and most of all her calling me 'Darling'. It sounds cringe, pero hindi ko talaga alam pagdating sa kanya ang sweet pakinggan.

For the past four days, I always think about her. Nagtatampo rin ako dahil hindi man lang siya nagpaalam. I even overthink, what if she won't be back again? Just by the thought of that hurts.

No one knows how happy I was when I saw her yesterday. She was back and my heart beat so loud and fast. I know it's because of her because she's the only one who makes my heart beat like that.

I smiled while staring at myself in the mirror. I touched my face because it was blushing. Gosh, after ilang year naramdaman ko na nanamn kung paano ang mahulog sa isang tao. Kung paano magmahal. I almost forgot about it but Yra woke that feeling up.

I love her not because she is a Singh. I love her because she is Yra. My annoying Yra, my happy pill at the same time.

I combed my hair with my fingers once again and decided to go out of my room. I'll cook breakfast for all of them.
