Fuck.....''.

Tinanggal ko ang helmet ko pagkakababa ng motor ko. I was out with theo and calix. We went racing. Bond time as friends. Sa sobrang init ay sumilong muna ako sa may lilim at uminom ng bottle water na dala ko inside my bag na dala ko. I zipped down my jacket. It was not good idea to do this. Its so hot.

You won this time,'' competitive na sabi ni calix. He walk toward to drink water beside me.

Theo on other side,'' pour water for himself and drink it. Its hot at bakit ba kasi natin to ginawa? Reklamo ni theo while drinking water.

I took off my jacket and its so hot to wear it.

Sumakay na ulit kami sa motor at nag racing na ulit. Muntik pa ko mabangga kaya huminto muna ako. Im also tired. The two are so competitive to each other. They still racing.

Tumigil na din ang dalawa at pumunta sila sakin sa lilim. I hope my back wouldn't hurt on sunday.'' i told them.

Why? Are you going somewhere on sunday? Tanong sakin ni theo.

Im going to play basketball.''

Lets play on basketball,'' then on sunday. Aya ni calix sa amin.

No way,'' i said quickly that both of them stared at me for being so defensive.

Ah,'' date!'' sabay nilang sabi sakin.''

Nilista ko lahat ng sport pero i know ciana are not capable of sport so i just brought canvas and other paint materials for her. We went on the beach in bataan again. I brought food too so in case we feels hungry while painting.

Im good at arts.'' my dad used to paint.'' she told me while doing her own painting.

Really?'' pang aasar ko sa kanya.

Pagkatapos ay nag exchange na kami ng paint na gawa namin sa isa't isa.

Wow.'' is this me? Tanong niya sakin when she saw my painting.

Yes.'' maikling sagot ko.''

Thank you for taking care of me last night.''

No problem.'' how are you? Ok na ba pakiramdam mo? She asked me concerned.

Im already ok.'' sagot ko sa kanya.

I just really like arts.'' she told me. It made me calm.'' she added.

I just listened to her stories about her and her cousin. Pag pe-paint ang bonding nilang mag pinsan nung bata pa sila. I didn’t know her dad was famous painter.

After namin mag paint ay bumalik na kami ng manila. Nang makabalik ako ng condo after siya ihatid, nilagay ko agad ang painting niya sa table ko so i would see it to make me calming.

Kinabukasan ay naglaro kami ng baseball sa gym court ng ust.

Masayahin ako nung bata at may nickname ako na tawag nila sakin sa bataan.'' sa tabing dagat kami naglalaro nila julia para maligo at mag enjoy.'' she told me and smiled.

What nickname?'' i asked her.

''Iana.''

I suddenly remembered the kid who has nickname iana. That kid is the one i helped before when i was a kid. Thats one of my childhood memory i had in bataan.

In bataan?' i asked again.''

Yes in bataan..'' i met a little boy in bataan and he helped me to find my parents.''

My childhood wasn't so great when i was a kid. Flashback on my mind the little girl.

Ta-daa! Thank you!''

Its like the universe was playing with us and we meet again. Like soulmates.

She is the one for me....''
