**START**
"Sa balcony sana tayo," Pablo said.
Hindi na nagsalita si Ken, he just nodded. Hinintay niyang mauna si Pablo na pumunta ng balcony, then he followed after him. He left his bag on the studio floor at isinampay ang hoodie sa balikat niya.
Pablo sat down on a chair while Ken leaned on the railings.
Iginala ni Ken ang paningin niya sa paligid; it was a windy afternoon, and it kinda giving him chills dahil naka suot lang siya ng muscle tee. He tilted his head upwards; the cloud looks peaceful; nagsisimula na ding maglabasan ang mga bituin. He closed his eyes and spread his arms, feeling the cold breeze.
"This is the best ginataang crab I ever tasted, Ma! Promise!"
He instantly opened his eyes at automatiko siyang napatingin sa ibaba. There, he saw Josh teasing Justin; ginagaya nito ang sinabi ni Justin sa video. He let out a chuckle, for a moment nakalimutan niyang nandun si Pablo. He continued watching the three.
"Mali 'dre, may kulang! May kasama pang atungal yung kay Jah eh!" natatawang sabi ni Stell.
Justin jokingly pushed Stell. "Grabe sa atungal! Ano yun, ano, appreciation cry," he defended.
"Ay?! Imbento! Pero yieee!! May surprise pala sa kanya si Ken!" Stell pushed him back.
"Heh! Hindi yun para sakin, para kina mama at papa yun!" tanggi niya.
Ken continued to chuckle while watching them. Matagal nang wala sa paningin niya ang tatlo, pero nanatili siyang nakangiti.
Pablo cleared his throat. "Ken, kumusta view dyan?" tanong nito.
Knowing Pablo, alam na ni Ken na double meaning na agad ang tanong nito. So he faced him.
"Masaya, maganda, masarap tingnan," he answered directly.
A moment of silence enveloped them, then Pablo leaned on his chair.
"I'm sorry," he sincerely said, looking straight into Ken's eyes.
Ken quietly wore his hoodie, covering his face, tumalikod siya kay Pablo and he faced the balcony view. "Para saan?" tanong niya.
Pablo smiled bitterly, "For meddling between you two. I was blinded; I was only looking at one side. Nasobrahan ako sa pag-iisip na maisaayos ang lahat, without knowing na may nasisira na pala ako."
"Wala ka namang nasira, Pau," he replied.
Pablo shook his head, "Pero muntik na."
"Hindi rin, hindi ko naman kasi hahayaang may masira, Pau. Hindi ko hahayaang masira ang grupo natin, lalong hindi ko hahayaang mawala sakin si Justin," he smirked.
Pablo curled his eyebrows; he was just staring at Ken; he is puzzled. All this time he thought that he had finally taken control, pero mukhang mali ata, all the while it seems like Ken was managing it all along.
"Pinagbibigyan lang kita," he said, nanatili siyang nakatalikod kay Pablo. "Remember the last time we talked about this? Diba sabi ko titigil lang ako pag si Jah yung nagsabi na tumigil ako. And guess what, he did. Sinabi niya yun sakin. Sobrang sakit nun Pau, mas masakit pa sa kahit anong pamba-bash na natanggap ko. Pero may mas malala, alam mo kung ano?" he finally faced Pablo.
