"Sticky notes?! Pwe!" bulalas niya ng tanggalin ang nakadikit sa bibig niya pati na din sa noo. Joke ba to?! Yung totoo? Nababaliw na kaya siya? Mariing hiyaw ng utak niya.

Holy freaking cow! Punong-puno ng sticky notes ang mukha niya, dahilan para sa lubos na panggagalaiti niya; very much epic, so priceless.

Isa-isa niyang tinanggal ang lahat ng sticky notes na nasa mukha niya. "Funny, isn't it? :P" written on a note that is on her lips. Ano naman ang nakakatawa doon?!

"Chill! I imagine you looking so cute."

Napasimangot siya nang mabasa ang isa pang sticky note. Pinaglalaruan niya ba ako? Stupid.

Nang matapos siya sa pagtanggal ng kung anu-anong nakadikit sa mukha niya, doon lamang niya naisip na nasa ibang kwarto na pala siya. But she is very much sure na hindi iyon ang lugar kung saan siya natulog kanina. Paano kaya ako nakarating dito?  Iniisip niya kung ano ang nangyari; kung nasaan ba siya kanina at kung paano siya napunta sa silid na iyon.

*[flashback]*

 

"Pull yourself together, Xander! Stop messing around. She’s just a poor little girl." mariing sabi niya na kinakausap ang sarili sa tapat ng salamin.Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin niya maintindihan ang sarili, pero isa lang ang sigurado siya, at iyon ay ang gawin ang nararapat. Nag-ayos siya ng sarili at nagbihis. Then he went out to check on Yannah, but he found her on a deep sleep.

 

Pansumandali siyang natigilan sa kinatatayuan at saka inusal, "She must be tired." he whispered, followed with a deep sigh.

 

He didn't hesitate to lift her up, gently leading her head to his broad shoulder and carry her like a bride through the stairway all the way to the guest room. He put her on the bed and treats her like a princess. For a few seconds he's just there, silently looking at his innocent face na para bang sinasabing, Oh, you're such an angel. You don't have to be meddling with these kinds of things.

 

With utmost sincerity, he cares. He doesn't have to be, yet he did. She's like any ordinary girl but why does he give her such exemption? Ewan niya, hindi na talaga niya maintindihan ang sarili niya. There must be something in her that makes him care. No matter what that something is, he’s not really sure; hence, he really doesn’t know. Or maybe he knows but he can’t just think of it this time. Anyway, kung anu man iyon, saka nalang niya iintindihin kapag mas malinaw na ang mga sagot, kapag nag-sink in na sa kanya ang lahat, at kapag lubos na niyang nauunawaan.

 

"There you go." He said as he smirks while sticking the last note. Haha silly, man! He's just so mischievous to put out some acts like that! Andun na sana eh, lam mo yun? Yung moment! But then again, out of his silly acts, he left her with some sticky notes all over her face and a letter on the mini table beside the lampshade. 

 

*[end of flashback]*

Napagod na siyang kaiisip sa kung ano man ang nangyari. Ang huling naaalala niya lang ay nakatulugan na niya ang pag-iyak sa sofa at ang panaginip na humingi sa kanya ng tawad ang binata. Hindi niya talaga alam kung ano ang totoong naganap at paano siya napadpad sa kwartong iyon. She hissed as she sat up and looked around. As Yannah surveyed the area, she then noticed a piece of folded paper with her name on it.
