Chapter 04

"I'll call you, we'll talk when I get there ."

That's what he said before he left pero hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin sya tumatawag, it's been a day since he left. Direct flight naman yung travel nila so it'll take 24 hours and 35 minutes for them to get to California pero hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin sya tumatawag.

'The heck? He left here at exactly 9 p.m. in the evening now it's 10 p.m. ano na Ang ginagawa nya? Inip na inip na Ako, Sabi nya tatawag sya pero wla pa rin Hanggang ngayon?! Dapat nga mga 9:40 p.m ay tatawag na sya 9:30 arrival nila kaya dapat kanina pa... Ehhhh... Ikaw kasi Khem eh ba't sinabihan mo pa ng I Love You 'yan tuloy umiwas na Sayo! Tanga Tanga mo kasi.'

Sa sobrang pagiisip at paghihintay ay nakatulog na pala Ako, nabigla na lng Ako ng marinig ko Ang pagvibrate ng cellphone ko Mula sa'king dibdib napa upo Ako dahil sa nangyari. I saw the time through my phone 12 a.m. in the morning.

'Sino bah Ang tumatawag?!'

Naiinis akong sinagot Ang tawag, "Hello? Sino ka bah at ba't ka tumawag ng ganitong Oras? Natutulog ng mahimbing Yung tao tatawagan mo ng madaling Araw, istorbo."

"Gano'n bah?", I heard the deep voice respond in the next line, "Nakakaistorbo pala Ako?"

I almost choked my own saliva when I recognized the voice, I checked the number whose calling and I panicked, "Bukas na lng Ako ulit tatawag, I'm sorry for the disturbance I've caused."

"Teka... Mark... I'm sorry, akala ko kasi kung sino at nagulat Ako sa biglaang pag vibrate ng cellphone ko." I explained.

"It's fine, I'm sorry kung ngayon lng Ako nakatawag sa'yo, nakatulog Kasi Ako ng makarating kami dito sa hotel."

'Hotel? They're staying in the hotel?', tumikhim Ako, "Bakit kayo sa hotel magsta-stay? Wla ba kayong Bahay d'yan?"

"Meron, mahaba pa Kasi Ang byahe kaya nagpasya si dad na mag hotel kami Muna ngayon."

"Gano'n bah?"

"Yes... I'll cut the call now, matulog ka na lng Muna."

"No," I felt guilty, "Can we talk? Please?"

I heard him chuckled, "Mmm okay pumpkin we'll talk."

From his voice I could tell that he's sleepy, pero Hindi ko pa gusto matapos Ang pagkukwentuhan namin. I missed him already.

"Kamusta Yung flight?"

"Fine, nakakapagod pala mag byahe ng Isang Araw."

"Auhmm, Mark..."

"Hmm? What is it pumpkin?"

"Well, it's about what I said last day."

"Khem," may diin sa kanyang boses.

"Hmm? Yes?"

"Goodnight."

"Oh, are you sleepy? Okay, tatawag ka ba bukas ulit?"

"Yes, I'll call again tomorrow."

"Mmm okay, goodnight. I miss-"

I didn't finish what I was about to say because the line has already been cut off.

'It's fine, he's probably just tired because of the flight. Pero bakit pa rang iniiwasan nya ako? O baka Naman siguro Hindi, yes he's just tired. But it hurts...'

"Kamusta na kaya Sila?", tanong ni Mika sa'kin.

"Sinong Sila?", I asked confusely.
