After I  took a shower I directly sat on my bed. I put a towel on my shoulder while I'm busy scrolling at my phone. Nakakunot ang noo ko while stalking that particular person on her social media. First time ko 'tong ginawa sa buong buhay ko out of my curiosity.

I still can't get over from what I saw. They knew each other? Coz why the fuck that guy denied they didn't? Are they hiding something?

Minasahe ko ang sintido. My head is hurting from thinking 'bout them. Naisip ko si Rage. Yes, he was the one who told me na someone says she's adopted.

I decided to call him nang mapagtantong wala naman akong makikita sa social media accounts ng babaeng iyon.

It took 2 minutes before he answered that call. Putangina nito busy busyhan na naman. Hindi pa nga sinasauli isa kong sasakyan. Feeling kanya na talaga eh.

"Napatawag ka mama?" Naririnig ko ang ingay sa kabilang linya. Saan na naman kayang lupalop ng Pilipinas napunta 'to.

"Tangina mo!" I heard him laugh.

"Alas dose na bro! Namimiss mo pa ako!". Biro niya. Tumatawa pa rin.

Buti di pa ito lasing mukhang nasa bar eh.

"I have some questions." Sa seryoso kong tono, I heard someone called his name, babae.

"Wait bro, labas muna ako."  Different voices called his name, napapamura rin siya hanggang sa tumahimik na ang linya." What it is?"

"It's about Kathaia. Di ba sabi mo someone from your girls told you na there's a rumor of her being adopted?" Tanong ko agad.

"Yup, di ko nga lang maalala sino sa mga babae ko nagsabi non". Tumawa siya."Bakit?"

"Don't you have any other information? How about a rumor that she has a twin or something like that? Nothing?" Natahimik siya sandali. He's thinking. Maybe there is!

"Wala bro." The fuck, kung katabi ko lang 'to tinamaan na siya sa akin.

"Tangina mo talaga may pa isip isip ka pa!"

"Baki-" I end the call.

I am so annoyed that I can't do my paper works properly. Maybe I need to go somewhere that can drop this.

Kinuha ko ang susi at mabilis na bumaba I brought my laptop and paper works so that I can continue doing it there. Nakasuot lang ako ng hoody at loose pants while wearing a rubber shoes.

Mabilis kong naiparke ang sasakyan ko since it's already 2 am at wala na masyadong tao. And as expected pagbukas ko sa cafe ay kokonti lang naman ang nasa loob. But my eyes stopped when I saw a familiar face that I immediately recognized because it was facing the entrance of the coffee shop. He was sitting alone at the far end, wearing earphones, an unbottoned black and green flannel and a white shirt inside, and seemed indifferent to his surroundings. There were scattered papers in front of him. Was he studying?

Napangisi ako sa sarili. I still remember how Kathaia run after him. It seems like he's lecturing Kathaia for something. Kung ganoon na wala silang tinatago bakit sila magkakilala at bakit niya itatanggi sakin na magkakilala sila, and what's more complicated about them is why the fuck they're almost look like a twin?
I am damn curious and invested with this two now. Well.

Agad akong nagtungo sa counter for my order. I even wait for it so that I can just comfortably sit with him there. I even get an extra one slice of tiramisu for him, I just remembered the last time. I think he likes it.

Mabagal akong naglakad papalapit sa pwesto niya dala dala ang order ko. I thought he wouldn't notice that I'm walking near him when he suddenly stop from reading and turn his head at me. Nang tumama ang mga mata niya sa akin ay agad ko siyang nginitian. Ngumiwi ako. I just received a stare. Kumunot ang noo niya nang marealized na sa harapan niya ako uupo. Na sulyapan ko pa ang title ng librong binabasa niya. It's "Abnormal Psychology". Is he a psychology major?
