"You're heading straight to my dad's mansion." Malamig kong sabi kay Ivo. Tumingin siya sa akin pabalik ng may pagtataka.

"Yes, it is your home." He focused his attention in the rode.

"Take another route, we are not going to that place."

"George nasa Quezon City na tayo, what do you want? Bumalik tayo ng Laguna? Dumaan ulit ng Edsa? Fuck." Napasuklay siya sa kanyang buhok at nagpakawala ng mabibigat na paghinga.

"Did I ask you to drive me home Ivo? You freaking volunteered, if I just know that this will happen sana tumanggi na lang ako."

"Ano ba ang problema at ayaw mo umuwi don? Its your fucking home." He looked so irritated by my immature whim but I know better.

"It's none of your business Ivo. Stop asking please." I yelled.

"Fine. Babalik tayo ng Laguna, matulog ka muna. Sorry if I go over board masyadong personal ang tanong ko."

I saw frustration in his eyes and how white his knuckles are while holding the steering wheel. I feel so guilty by the sight of his eyes.

"N-no ... just ... just drop me in the nearest starbucks .. in Trinoma ... I need to calm my nerves Ivo. And ... a-and sorry for yelling and shutting you up."

"I'll go with you. This is entirely my fault, if I just asked where to take you hindi sana tayo nagaaway." He said looking straight to my eyes.

"Hagya na nawala ang inis mo sa akin, fuck Ivo." He whispered but thanks to my oh ... so ... clear hearing.

"It's not, I fell asleep kaya alam kong di mo ako magawang gisingin. Did you call Kuya Art? Sinabi mo ba na pupunta ko?"

"Sorry."

I looked at him helplessly. Im left with no fucking choice uuwi ako ngayon o magtatampo si Mama Amanda.

"Drive faster Ivo, sa bahay ka na magdinner. Im sure Mama Amanda cooked my favorite foods."

"Hindi na tayo dadaan ng Trinoma? It seems you don't want to disappoint Tita Amanda to extent na pupunta ka kahit ayaw mo. You're fond of her ... no ... you love her ... damn much."

"I do. She is my Mama." Im smiling ear to ear whenever Mama Amanda is the topic. I just love her so much.

"In all places bakit dito sa northern part ng Manila napili ng Dad mo tumira? Corinthian Garden talaga? Ang bading ng subdivision nyo." Bigla siyang humagalpak ng tawa at asar na asar ko siyang tinapunan ng masasamang tingin.

Bwisit.

"I love his old house in Ayala Alabang mas feel ko yung pagiging home niya. In his new house mahirap magkahagilapan. Love nest nina Mama Amanda ang Eastwood kaya gusto nila malapit doon ang bahay and it happened na Corinthian. Corny."

"Corny? Are'nt you one of those cheesy girls? Fan of romantic novels who believes in happy ending?" He asked innocently and in that I want to wreck his neck.

I rolled my eyes and look at the mirror. "Im not fond of happy endings anymore, it's too childish for me."

We enter the subdivision and maybe his car has the subdivision sticker or he's always here kaya walang hirap na nakakapasok siya.Everything with money is possible.

"But why?-" I interrupted him by pointing my Kuya Lawn kissing a girl in front of his car.

"So gross. My brothers can't live without banging different girls every night." I whispered to my self.
