"I'll pick you up. May girlfriend duties ka." I texted her.
As soon as it sent. Agad akong pumunta sa bahay niya. Just like the old time, she left her door open. Buti nalang talaga, secure ang lugar dito sa kanila eh.
"Ahl?" I called her. "Ahl--" I was stopped nang makita ko itong natutulog sa sofa. Messy hair, open mouthed at malamang di pa ito naliligo kasi Sunday- typical Allen. She always toke a bathe at evening kapag sunday. Kasi whole day itong natutulog or nagbabasa. She still wearing her pajama and plain t-shirt. I was planning to make it up for her today. She was really mad at me after I broke up with my last EX kasi mas pinili ko si Aya. I don't know, I just fall out of love and then Aya came. Alam na alam niya ang gusto ko, we clicked. At the last time I check. Mahal ko si Aya. Sa part na yun ako gago, kasi di ko naisip si Allen. I know she love me, kasi she confessed- well actually, after I read her diary. Napilitan din siyang magsabi sakin. Di ko gustong I-take advantage yun, kaso kailangan ko eh. Without Aya, kung anu-ano na siguro ang pinaggagawa ko. Kasi one time, nung narealize kong wala na talaga akong feelings para kay Cristine, bigla ko nalang naisip na mahal ko si Allen. I don't want her to think na nasabi ko lang yun kasi alam ko na mahal niya ako. So, I busied my self and I met Aya. And I was right. The moment I was with Aya, di ko na ulit naisip yun.
"Allen, wake up." I traced her eyebrow. She really likes it. She, actually can't sleep without playing with her brow.
"Go away.." ungol nito. She pushed my hand and turned to other side.
"C'mon. Lola's here." Of course I lied. If you only know how hard to wake her up. Kung anu-ano na ang masasabi mo.
"Ha?" she asked in her sleepy tone and turned again. This time she was facing me. I smiled, when I saw her trying to open eyes.
"Lola's here. Come. Nasa labas siya." I tried to sit her up.
"Si Lola?" she asked. Nakapikit pa rin ito. But she's opening her eyes a bit and close again.
"Oo, labas tayo." I said.
"Okay." sabi nito. But she was still sleeping.
Lalo akong napangiti. But I hated my self for missing a things like this with her.
I just carried her. At pinasok sa saksakyan.
"San tayo?" she asked sleepily.
"You'll know when we get there. Just sleep." I kissed her forehead and drive.
