Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang dapat kong maramdaman right after seeing Ybrahim and Leticia’s picture together. They’re keeping in touch with each other samantalang kami, tinataguan ni Ybrahim? Naiintindihan kong he probably needs some time for himself pero bakit parang selective siya masyado, si Leticia lang ba ang kaibigan niya? O baka naman may namamagitan na talaga sakanila and pinili nilang itago ‘yon?

Nagtatampo ako sakanila. Ako ‘yung naghahanap, kay Leticia nagpakita.

Sobrang daming pumapasok sa utak kong posibilidad— baka isa kami sa dahilan kung bakit siya naglaho bigla at ayaw nang magpakita sa amin.

“Kuya.” I called.

“Anong kailangan mo?” Masungit nitong tanong sa akin.

“Can you book me a flight to Bicol? Medyo nakakapagod na ang environment dito sa siyudad.” I asked.

“Do you have a problem?” He looked at me, suspicious about my sudden decision.

“Wala naman, I just need to unwind.” I explained.

“Bakit sa Bicol pa?” Tanong niya sa akin.

Kasi ayun lang ang lugar na alam kong walang makakakilala sa akin bukod sa mga magulang at relatives ni Mommy.

“Just please help me out, gusto ko na umalis mamaya.” I begged. Walang nagawa si Kuya kundi i-book ako ng flight four hours from now.

I prepared my things at nagpaalam na rin ako kay Mommy. They didn’t say anything bukod sa ikumusta ko siya kay Lola. I was planning to stay at a resort room pero dadalawin ko rin sina Lola.

Kasalukuyan akong nakaupo sa loob ng eroplano, naghihintay sa take off nito. I took a selfie before shutting my phone down. Isi-send ko ‘yun kay Kuya mamaya.

When I finally arrived, I messaged Kuya and told him that I was already here. Napansin ko rin ang mangilan-ngilang chats ng friends ko but I chose not to reply and post the selfie I took in my instagram story.

My inbox was flooded with messages from my friends asking where I’m heading to.
