Twenty Third Chapter //
The Worst Invitation

"Where have you been yesterday?"

'Yan ang bungad na tanong sa akin ni Janessa pagdating ko sa classroom.

"Our section's class president finally cut her classes for the first time yesterday." dagdag pa ni Ashley.

I just smiled weakly at them at dumiretso na ng upo. I'm not really in the mood. Masyado ko pang nararamdaman 'yung sakit.

Lumilipad 'yung utak ko. Pakiramdam ko ay wala rin namang saysay ang pagpasok ko dahil wala namang pumapasok sa utak ko.

"Excuse me," sabi ng isang babae na kumatok sa pintuan namin, "saan po ang room ng sectio-- Ellice?"

Oh, shoot.

"A-Ate O-Olivine."

Why? Of all people to see today, why her?

"Ma'am, may I excuse Ellice, please? Important matters." she said politely sa prof namin.

Our prof just nodded, so wala akong choice kundi tumayo at puntahan siya sa labas ng classroom namin.

"How are you?" she asked me immediately after giving me a peck on my cheek.

"I'm f-fine, Ate."

"Kamusta na kayo?" tanong niya sa akin with meaningful eyes.

"Kami po? Nino?" tanong ko rin sa kanya.

"Ng kapatid ko. Ni Oliver. Kamusta na ang relationship niyo? Going strong ba?" sabi niya pa sabay tawa.

Kung nabigla ako sa tanong niya, mas nabigla ako sa biglang dumating.

"Ate! What are you doing here?"

Dug. Dug. Dug.

"Oliver! I miss you," she said, then gave Oliver a peck in the cheek, "I just came home from our business trip. Dumiretso lang ako rito para mangamusta."

"Hindi ba pwedeng pag-uwi ko na lang?" Oliver asked her sarcastically.

"Speaking of pangangamusta, kamusta na nga pala ang relationship niyo?" she said, ignoring Oliver's question, then she looks at me.

"Oka---"

"Wala na po k-kami, Ate," agad na sabi ko bago pa maituloy ni Oliver 'yung sasabihin niya, "I mean, wala n-naman po t-talagang k-kami."

Silence. Awkward silence.

"P-pasensya n-na p-po." I told Ate Olivine sincerely at dire-diretsong naglakad palayo sa kanilang magkapatid.

"E-Ellice!"

I can hear Ate Olivine shouting my name behind me, but I don't care. I just want to escape from them. I don't want to talk about Oliver anymore.
