"Sigurado kabang tama 'tong dinadaanan natin? Sa pagkakaalam ko kasi, hindi mo kilala 'yong google map." I sarcastically said on her.

"Grabe ka naman. Wala lang akong load kaya hindi ko kilala si google map." She looked at me. "Do'n na lang tayo magkita-kita nila Vincent sa condo and don't worry, nasa tamang daanan tayo. See this?" sabay pakita nito ng phone niya sa mukha ko. "We're almost there." she added.

I rolled my eyes. "Sinong nila?" Hindi ko alam pero I think meron na akong ideya kung sino. Ang lakas kasi ng tibok ng puso ko e. "On my second thought, h'wag mo ng sagutin." I added.

"Si Paulo 'yong kasama niya. We're gonna lived in one room." she casually said.

Tang-inang puso 'to, ayaw pa awat sa manloloko. Ang bilis ba naman ng tibok.

"The four of us? Really?" I asked.

"Yeah." she smirked. "And don't you dare raised your brows while talking on them later. Talent mo pa naman na itaas ng walang reason 'yong isang kilay mo." Paalala nito sa'kin.

Well, I'm not that maldita but I have this attitude na out of nowhere my brows where gonna raised if I'm gonna talk to someone who's acting weird, saying nonsense things or a redflag.

"Whatever." I replied on her.

Well, I already used to sleepover with some guys pero iba 'yong situation namin ngayon. We're in Pangasinan and it's just our first time to meet each other.

"The condo unit, is it just one room? I mean bedroom." I asked again.

"Nope. Actually, the condo unit was owned personally by Paulo. I think we're gonna temporarily lived in 28th floor, it looks like a house which is merong two bedrooms. Paulo and Vincent will stay in one room, pwera na lang kung gusto mo siyang katabi then I'm fine to stay with Vincent." she smiled.

I raised my brow at her. "I told you. It's just lust Ireña, it's not love. Imagine, we we're just here in Pangasinan kasi tigang ka lang." I teased her.

"Gaga." kinurot nito ang tagiliran ko. "Maybe ikaw 'yong magiging tigang mamaya if you see Paulo. He's not the same Paulo anymore. He's matured and gwapo. I think he's the same man you imagine about.." she looked. "what was this characters name again? Sevi? Yes. Sebastian Vincent Camero, your kinababaliwan."

"Dream on. Sevi is a walking greenflag while Paulo is a cheater. The only thing they have in common was they both passed the examinations for Civil Engineer." I rolled my eyes. "If Sevi really exist here on our world, I'll better choose to admire him until I get old and die than to spend the rest of my life with that so called gwapo of yours."

"Really? Diba you always keep on reminding me to always asked for the whole truth? Seems like you judge him directly. I heard from Vincent that Paolo and Jerome fight that night, and I think, it was part of his plan...to ruined you both."

"Well, he had proof." I answered.

"Well, he succeed."

Hindi ko na lang ito pinansin at hinayaan na lang siyang makapagsalita ng mag-isa. Ginugol ko na lang 'yong atensyon ko sa view na makikita sa dinadaanan namin.

I don't know what will happened in one month. Hindi naman ako statue para hindi makaramdam ng kung ano-anong damdamin lalo't makakasama ko sa isang bubong ang taong  nagparamdam sakin kung gaano kasarap sa pakiramdam ang magmahal pero ayoko namang gawing hobby 'yong pagiging tanga. I actually wanted to confront him before but I was afraid. Afraid that after what we've been through for months, he'd left me for that girl.

I know long distance relationship will work if you two wanted to fight and stay with each other pero no'ng time na malaman kung nakatira na sila sa isang bubong is gradually killing me. I don't want to judge him, at mas lalong ayokong magalit sa kaniya pero tao lang rin naman ako.
