"Ayusin mo naman hair mo, Ate." Mama told me as she's busy finishing her last minute packing.

I had been spending the last two days with my parents here sa Singapore, iwan si Miko sa New Jersey. Aww miss ko na baby brother ko.

They went home kasi last Wednesday to attend to some family matter sa Bulacan and had to go back din agad sa US before mag-Monday. Parang ang lapit lang no? Haha.

They decided to tag me along muna sa Singapore for the weekend. Quality time ba. Ganon.

It's 12PM on a Sunday here, and me and Mama are starting to arrange our luggage because my flight will be later at 2PM, sila 4PM pa.

Ako pa-Manila, sila pa-US.

Jusq sinasama na nga ako papunta don eh. Baliw talaga ni Mama.

"Mama naman eh. Ganyan na sya talaga." I told her, referring to my hair. "Besides I'll be inside an airplane lang din naman later, there's no one to impress." Wala naman don si Kiefer. Hala sige subukan mo yan sabihin sa Mama mo, Mika.

Pero seryoso. Kahit nga siguro kay Kief hindi ko na kailangang magpa-impress. Luh.

But I miss that jitim tho. It's been two days eh.

I was doing some last minute checking sa mga gamit ko and my pasalubongs for my friends, and syempre for the Ravena sibs plus Ate Denise.

May late celebration ng Halloween sa condominium nila Kiefer. It's already mid-November na, ewan ko kung bakit ngayon lang sila nagcelebrate.

Gusto ko sanang umabot kahit late. I want to spend some time sana with Kiefer and Kierra. It has been two weeks na kasi since our Eastwood gala with Kierra. Kami naman ni Kief, halos araw-araw nagkita after that.

He literally is my best friend. The only thing about our relationship though is that I wanted more.

Gustong-gusto ko talaga. Sometimes nga I wonder if I actually love him already eh.

"Saan si Papa, Ma?" I asked.

"He said he'll take a shower daw muna before leaving eh. Baka patapos na yon."

"Okay, sige po. Hintayin ko na lang sya, tapos Ma una na ko sa airport. I have to catch my flight." I said.

I went over sa living room nitong hotel room where we stayed at. We chose to stay here sa Sofitel Sentosa.

I was just fixing my schedule on my phone for the next week when Mama sat down beside me.

"Kanino yang jacket na suot mo? I never saw you wearing that before ah." She asked with that curiosity written all over her face.

I just smiled. "From a friend po. Actually hiram ko lang to."

"Ganong kalaki ba tong 'friend' mo?" She asked, even more curious, since medyo malaki nga sakin tong jacket.

"It's actually from a guy friend. Medyo athletic-built lang yung body nya kaya malaki sakin tong jacket nya sakin."

"A guy?"

"Yes Ma, a guy. Lalaki. Boy. A guy." I said giving her a small laugh.

"Boyfriend mo, anak? Nanliligaw? Teka bakit hindi ko to alam, Potch?"
