Love

"Basahin mo nga. Sabi ni Mavric at Rick iba na raw typings sa gabi eh," I said to Ron, showing the whole conversation.

Alam naman naming lahat ang password. Pero ako yata ang madalas na gumagamit at nakikipagchat since most of the typings were mine. Si Ron, madalang dahil may kinababaliwan na namang babae.

Meanwhile, Brent has never participated since day one since he didn't buy a phone yet. I don't know what's up, but it's definitely because he thinks it wasn't a good investment to spend too much on mobile phones. Burara siya eh. Nababasag agad ilang araw lang.

Ron, who's smiling from ear to ear while he's busy on his phone, glanced at my phone. Hindi ko nga alam kung binabasa niya habang iniscroll ko lalo na't hati ang atensyon niya.

Pauwi na kami. Everyone is too tired and taking a nap on the plane. Si Ron ang katabi ko, sa gilid ay si Con na idlip at nasa tabi ng bintana.

"Baka jejemon lang siya sa umaga, sa gabi, seryoso na. Maraming gano'n eh," si Ron sabay tawanan naming dalawa.

I nodded cuz that's what I'm thinking too. It's impossible that this is not Kael. I mean, he sent a voice message and also some photos.

"May iba nga, tao sa umaga, aswang sa gabi," I added, which made us laugh even more, na kahit si Con na tulog, natatawang nailing.

"At nagsesend naman siya ng voice message at pictures..." I voiced out what's on my mind.

"Si Kael 'yan. Halata naman. Sino pa bang baliw na baliw kay Verena? Nasa bio niya pa nga," said Ron who supported my claims with definite evidence.

Tumango ako. "Oo. Tugma rin 'yung sinabi ni Mic Mic na perfume niya at nagsend agad siya ng picture na hawak 'yon," I added.

"I video call mo kasi nang magkaalaman na," he suggested without glancing at me.

I paused for a bit and laughed. Nah... It's too early to cut something this fun. Nagsisimula pa lang eh. I want to see his reaction once he realizes that the one he's sending those cringe messages to is none other than us. Imagine his reaction and his rage...

"Pero what if hindi si Kael? Tapos isa pala sa girls natin na circle 'no?" natatawang si Ron.

That's impossible. The girls don't have an idea about it. Wala namang snitch sa boys. Mavric is too secretive. Brent doesn't really care. Con would rather keep his mouth shut instead of telling something nonsense. Ron is entertaining girls all the time. Ako naman, kung alam kong hindi agree ang girls at sisirain lang ang fun, I would rather shut up. Unless it's about love life. Doon ko ikukwento sa mga girls para maasar din nila.

This is our little payback to begin with. But I don't even think the boys see this as a serious game. Baka nga nakakalimutan na 'to ni Brent dahil abala siya sa pagbabantay kay Shiloh.

But what if...it's not Kael? The question stayed on my mind for too long, but I couldn't answer it.

Masyado nang pagod ang lahat noong pauwi na kami na nagkanya-kanya na agad dahil babawi ng tulog. I was a bit sleepy too since puro inom kami noong gabing iyon pagkatapos manood ng fire dance. Tatlong oras nga lang yata ang tulog ko.

I yawned while putting a story on my Instagram account. It's a video of Shiloh who cried when we sang him a happy birthday and Brent hugged him. Meron ding video na nalaglag kaming lahat sa banana boat. I even sent a lot of pictures to my mum so she would see how fun my newly found circle is. My mum saw the pictures, and she only liked them.

Remembering Verena's account, I opened it sleepily. Kael didn't message me, actually. Consistent 'yung update ko sa kanya para sana mapagtripan siya kaso hindi nagsi-seen. When I checked, he only seen it five minutes ago.
