Simula kagabi ay hindi ko ginalaw ang cellphone ko. I feel very guilty, I don't know why. The conversation last dinner was a hard take for me. I just wished everyone else except me had received the same feeling at that table the minute I left them. Bakit sa'kin napunta?

Kuya Paco really mastered using the reverse card.

I woke up at five in the morning and tried to wake up Faye on her bed. Sisisihin talaga niya ako mamaya kapag hindi ko siya nagising nang maaga para makapaglinis ng katawan kahit ganito kaaga.

Pumunta na ako sa banyo para mag-toothbrush at maghilamos. I long-pressed the message I got from Ate Penelope last night and now.

From: Pineapple

i'm so sorry about it, i didn't stop them. i know you feel heavy kanina.

rest for now, pat

i hope you feel better. bukas kausapin ko si kuya at hillary.

Pat, six thirty, breakfast

5:21 AM Today

Once Faye got up, she showered immediately while talking to me about last night. I could barely put my sunscreen on while talking.

"Concern ako kasi ang laki ng ipinayat mo these past few weeks, siguro napansin din nila." Napapapikit siya sa blower na binibugahan ang itim niyang buhok. "I think that's their point too."

Napanguso ako dahil alam kong pinagusapan nila ito nang makaalis ak. "Okay, but there's some other way to approach what's up with my life. Why was it my time to be challenged like it was all my fault that I said the truth to Kuya Paco."

"Malay mo baka na-offend?"

"Why would he be offended when I just asked him to balance his life? I'm honestly just making him look for a healthier relationship with his woman."

"Hindi ko napansin kung saan nagmula pinagusapan niyo kagabi. Si Kuya Ulysses at Julio kasi hindi tumitigil kakadaldal." She turned off the blower. "Pero duda ako."

I finished putting some lotion on my body and i put my jacket on.

"Bakit?"

"Why would they interrogate you like that?"

Napatigil ako at tiningnan ito sa replesyon niya sa salamin.

"Anong duda mo?"

"Wala lang. Parang against na against sila."

"That's because they can't stop but to give drama on that table."

"No, there's something... Nung umalis ka ng table para mag-CR, Hillary said you deserved better. Remember when kuya Ulysses said Matt was an asshole ever since? I knew something was wrong. Sorry ha? Kita mo naman kung gaano ako ka-against sa relasyon n'yo noon..." Nilakihan niya ang mata niya.

Natatakot ako sa susunod na lumabas sa bunganga niya. "Please, not now."

"I'm not even kidding. I feel it in him. he's an asshole, and I'm telling you every minute the day you said yes to that guy. I was like 'Why would Patricia let him in her life when he's an asshole? I warned you, Kuya Uly, his best friend warned you and yet here you are." She changed her reaction. "O baka naman you have this thought like you could fix him?"

Napapikit ako sa sakit ng ulo. "I'm still processing, Faye. I don't get anything." Napapikit ako at bumuga ng mabigat na hininga. "Why are you all so interested in my boring relationship with this guy?" I lied.
