"Umalis na."

Hindi ako makapaniwala sa sagot ni Ace. Matagal ko silang tinitigan at saka ako tumingin sa kanila ng masama. "You guys already knew na siya yung childhood friend ko."

"Mat--" hindi ko pinatapos yung sasabihin ni Vinz. "Why are you guys keeping some damn secrets from us? Ganun ba talaga kami kababa umintindi? I really can't believe you guys!" maiinis inis kong sabi sa kanila.

"And we can't believe your dad!" pasigaw na sabi ni Rj. What's with him and .. dad?

"What's wrong with my dad? Ang alam kong kasalanan niya is that he lied to me!"

"He was the one who gave a motive na umamin si Ian sayo para ikaw mismo ang lalayo sa kanya which is kasalukuyan na nangyayari. Funny, right? Mas may alam pa yung tatay mo tungkol samin." mangisi-ngisi na sabi ni Ace. And what did he just say? Dad gave Ian some motives para umamin siya sakin tungkol kay Mien?

"Alam kong hindi pa siya nakakaalis ng Pilipinas." I said and tumakbo ako palabas. I just heard that they are calling my name pero hindi ko sila nilingon. Pagkalabas ko ng gate ng school, nagpara agad ako ng taxi and went on my way to the airport.

Fucking shit! Bakit ngayon pa natraffic? Medyo malapit na sa airport but I don't want to run using my 4-inch heels. It's gonna be a doom's day kapag natapilok pa ako plus traffic pa naman and so madaming makakakita. Hindi kakayanin ng kahihiyan ko yun.

After 5 minutes, it looks like magagawa ko nga. Lumabas ako at saka nagmadaling tumakbo. I can feel the pain in my feet but still, tumatakbo pa rin ako. I look like a gorgeous detective agent na may mission. Definitely not going to be happen. Sa di kalayuan, I saw Ian--I mean, Allen coming out from the taxi wearing his dashing shades in his eyes. He is freaking handsome, I realized. But still, masyado pakong malayo. I speed up at nakita ko siyang patawid. Nang makarating ako sa crossing line, I stop at kumapit sa poste na nasa tabi. All I have to do is call his name para lingunin niya ako.

"IA--" Huwag yun. Masyado nang familiar sa kanya. If I will call him in that name, matutupad na ang hiling niya na naalala ko na siya.

"ALLEEEEEEEEEEN!!"

And there, he stopped. I watched him slowly turning his head to me. Tears broke out from my eyes. Hindi ko mapigilan yung nararamdaman ko. It's like... I met this very special person in my life. Finally, I see him smile as I see him as 'Allen'. He was my only cure back from the past kahit ngayon. I run towards him to hug him and tell him I miss him. Tell him that I remember him. Tell him that he's my Allen. Tell him that I love him.

But I can never tell those words because I heard a screeching sound from my side and in a second, I felt someone hug me and everything turn into black. Unconsciousness.

I approach the librarian as I return the book that I borrowed. Pagkaikot ng katawan, I saw Vincent standing not too far from my point. I always have a hint kung sino si Vincent or Vinz. Nilapitan ko siya dahil for sure, kakausapin niya ako.

"What? Kung sasabihin mo nanaman sakin na kausapin ko yang magaling mong kambal, please Vincent. Stop it. Mas pipiliin ko pang matulog kaysa makaharap ang isan---"

"Naguusap na tayo."

It took a long time bago magloading sa utak ko yung sinabi niya. Don't tell me I got a wrong person here? Bago ko pa talikuran tong' lalaking to which is nabasa niya ata yung nasa isip ko, nagsalita siya ng mabilis while grabbing my arm.
