Kinagabihan ay nagdinner kami sa labas ni Ate Agnes with Daddy. It's been awhile since the last time na magkasama kaming tatlo, I mean Ate and I missed Daddy so much,
"Anika, kamusta ang pag-aaral?" Biglangb tanong ni Daddy
"Okay naman Dad, I mean getting busier. Starting to write my thesis." I replied
"Dad, ba't di mo tanungin si Von? Remember him?" Sabad ni Ate. I gave her a death glare!!!
"Ah, what about your BESTFRIEND?" Daddy said emphasizing the word BESTFRIEND. Ugh.
"Nothing,"
"Pakipot," I heard Ate whispered.
We continued chitchatting. Marami kaming napag-usapan, all random stuffs. Just like the old times ika nga nila. 'Yung feeling na you're free, wala kang iniisip, you're happy 'yung ganun. 'Yun 'yung mga bagay na masarap maramdaman. Mga bagay na wala kang iisipin. You just live happily. Busy kaming nag-uusap ni Ate ng kung anu-ano nang bigla ni Daddy maisipan ni Daddy tungkol sa'min ni Von.
"Anika, kamusta kayo ni Von?"
"Dad, we're bestfriends y'know." I said.
"Bestfriends lang ba talaga?"
"Yes, walang something, walang sparks. Besides, may girlfriend na siya. Remeber Gracey Lopez? My bestfriend, she's the lucky girl."
"Psssh," I heard Ate whispered.
"Aw ganun ba?" Daddy said. "Sayang. I want Von for you pa naman, I could really see him as a good boyfriend. Mali pala ang perception ko. I thought kasi you're the lucky girl."
"Daddy, ang bagal naman kasi ni Anika e. Kung inamin ba nman sana niya na gusto niya si Von, e di sana, they're together. Sana hindi iiyak itong si Anika, e kaso tinamaan ng maganda, ayun ayaw niyang aminin. TAKOT SIYA! TAKOT SIYANG MAREJECT!" Ate said in disbelief.
I just shook my head. Wala akong masabi.
"Agnes, don't be too hard. I mean. She's not like you naman. I mean, Anika isn't that strong as you are. Pero tandaan niyo, kahit naman ganyan 'yang si Anika she's strong inside. Right Anika?" Daddy said.
"Siguro po Daddy,"
"Haynako. Don't worry Anika. Andito kami para sa'yo. Para saan pa na naging pamilya tayo diba? Don't worry na. I'll help you." Ate said with a grin in her face as well as Daddy,

I am busy scrolling nang makita ko ang naka tagged photo sa Instagram ni Gracey Lopez. She's with Nathan Esguerra!!!!! Omg, alam kaya ito ni Von?! Mygoshhhh! Nakakaloka. Ang caption pa "A day well spent with this awesome girl" na may couple emoji! Mygulaaay. What is the meaning of this? I leave a comment.
"@nateesguerra: a day well spent with this awesome girl. @grcelopezz"
"@anikadlcrz: di man lang kayo nag aya. Pwe @nateesgueraa @grcelopezz :("
Haynako. May something na ba ulit sila? Ano naman ang papel ni Nathan na 'yun? 'Wag niyang sabihin aagawin niya si Gracey kay Von?!! Nakakaloka!
Pinakita ko kay Ate ang picture. She just shrugged and continued what she's doing, ugh.
"Ate, wala ka bang sasabihin?" I said
"Anong gusto mong sabihin ko?" Balik na tanong niya sa'kin
"Argh. K. Nothing." I walked out. Hmp.

I am busy doing may research nang biglang nag popped out ang panglan ni Von, he left a message pala.
