The whole ride back home was so quiet. Wala talagang nagsasalita samin dalawa. I know mali yung ginawa ko pero mali nga ba talaga? But I think tama naman kasi I'm not sure pa e. I'm not ready pa, I think I have to reevaluate things pa and I'm not liking this Kiefer na sobrang tahimik. Usually kasi madaldal siya, mas madaldal pa nga siya sa'kin pero ngayon he's just driving and driving lang.

"Bye." He plainly said. This is the first time na ganyan yung way niya ng pag-ba-bye. He's really upset.

"Bye." I said and immediately walked inside our house. Bigla kasi ako nakaramdam ng guilt.

Pag-pasok ko sa bahay, they're waiting for me pala. I should kwento what happened kanina because that's the usual drill but parang ayoko i-kwento. Bukas na lang. Sobrang wala ako sa mood.

Nag-bless ako sa kanila then sabi ko punta na ko sa room ko kasi napagod ako but I know they felt na medyo off ako tonight kaya siguro hinayaan na lang nila.

After ko mag-wash up and magpalit ng damit, tinignan ko agad yung phone ko 'coz baka nagtext si Kiefer but I remembered hindi pala siya magtetext kasi nga because of what happened. Hay this is so unusual.

I'll text Jessey na nga lang, I really need someone na makapagpapaintindi sakin sa mga bagay bagay and I think Jessey is the perfect person.

To: BF

I really need her right now kasi I know mas may experience siya sa mga ganito and she's my bestfriend kaya she knows what's best for me. Maasahan naman lagi 'to si bf.

From: BF

To: BF

From: BF

To: BF

To: BF

After nung last text ni Jessey bigla naman sumulpot si Mama out of nowhere.

"Okay ba yung family ni Kiefer?" She asked as she sits beside me. I know this is gonna be a long mother and daughter talk and I guess I am ready to tell Mama everything about what happened earlier.

"Okay sila Ma. Actually tita Mozzy and tito Bong are really accomodating and funny also. His brother naman, Thirdy, sobrang kulit din and his sister, Dani, super cute as in she wants me to be her ate daw. They're really nice Ma tapos nagkantahan kami at masarap din magluto si tita Mozzy and I'm happy that Kiefer brought me to their house kaya lang..." And bigla akong na-sad 'coz naalala ko nanaman what happened.

"Kaya lang?" She asked.

"Kaya lang Kiefer asked something.... Ma, as much as I want to say yes but ayokong maging impulsive kasi di pa talaga ako sigurado." I explained. I'm a person who really thinks twice before doing anything, iisipin ko talaga what will be the outcome or aftermath of that before ko actual gawin.
