Gab's POV

I woke up with a really really bad headache. Di ko na matandaan kung anong nangyari kagabi. What I can only recall is I think, I saw Krystal last night. Di ko alam kung totoo but it was like a dream.

Lumabas naman ako ng kwarto ko, hay salamat buti wala si mama ngayon kung hindi napagalitan na ako. But on the other side, wala si mama so, wala ring magluluto ng sabaw para sakin. Kahit kasi galit sya na umuuwi ako ng lasing, ginagawa nya pa din ako ng sabaw.

Wala na rin kasi kaming katulong, we don't need one since dalawa lang naman kami dito sa bahay. Pumupunta na lang si Nay Tessa dito kapag weekends para mag laba.

But what's this smell? Ang alam ko, next week pa ang uwi ni mama eh.

Lumapit naman ako sa kitchen and to my surprise, it's Krystal.

"Hey" She said as she pour her now done soup.
"I had to get you something since grabe yung pagsusuka mo kagabi" Ako? Nag suka?
Lumapit naman ako umupo.

"How.." She chuckled then sat infront of me. Nilagyan nya naman ng sabaw yung mangkok ko.
"I was also in the bar last night, nakita kita accidentally. Natutulog ka dun eh and as far as O know, bawal dun matulog" Natawa naman ako. Malay ko ba.

"And why I'm here? Tita is not here so, walang mag luluto sayo and I know you need that" Napailing na lang ako. She knows me too well. Tinikman ko naman yung soup and it's masarap.

I looked at her only to find her looking at me.

"How is it?" Ah. She wants to know kung masarap ba or nah.
"It's fine" Ngumiti naman sya.
"Good then" Tumayo naman sya at she then got her bag.
"Aalis ka na?" She nodded.
"I still need to go to school. Dinaanan lang kita" Tumayo naman ako at hinatid sya sa labas.

Grabe yung liwanag, nakakasilaw. Totoo ang Diyos.

"I remember, Aira was there too. Your teacher from high school. She helped me with you. Thank her when you see her" Then sumakay na sya ng sasakyan nya.

Aira was there?!?!

Aira's POV

Even though it's saturday, pumasok pa din kami sa school because of a meeting. And finally, natapos din after a very long session with the principal. Ewan ko ba, may gusto na namang ibahin dito sa school so, of course kaming mga teachers yung mag fafacilitate nun.

Pag labas ko ng school, Pancho was waiting for me. Hindi ko alam kung pano nya nalaman na andito ako but he managed to find me.

"Come on, let's talk" Hahawakan nya sana ako pero lumayo ako agad.
"Don't be like this, please. I said sorry already. Nadala lang ako ng damdamin ko" Eto na naman sya.
"Saying sorry won't fix it. You could've just called me out that night. No need to shout and cause a commotion" Di ko naman napigilang magalit sakanya. Nasira yung gabi ni Migo dahil sakanya.

"I'm sorry, hindi ko na uulitin yun. Now please, come with me and let's talk" Pinipilit nya pa din ako.
"Give me time Pancho. Yung mga pinaranas mo sakin, hindi yun madaling kalimutan" I told him.
"You said you will never hurt me pero ilang beses mo na akong sinaktan. Pinapabayaan ko lang kasi sabi mo mag babago ka. I never once doubted na magbabago ka pero you kept on doing it" Nilabas ko na lahat. I'm so sick of this kind of treatment.

"Yung pagiging the over protective mo din and yung pagiging seloso mo. Pancho, you're over thinking things" Huminga naman ako ng malalim.

"I'm sorry, Aira. Pasensya ka na. Babawi ako, just please don't leave me" Nagmakaawa sya.
"Let me just remind you, we're not together Pancho. You're not my boyfriend but you act like own me. What you did that night was too much. You ruined my friend's birthday party" He looked at me.
