"It's Thursday," Zea declared as she stares at me. Natigil ako sa pagngiti at napatingin sa kanya, I raised a brow at her.

"What?" I asked, inihilig ko ang aking likod sa upuan. My fingers played with the tip of my hair, I pursed my lips as I wait for Zea's next words.

"Sabi ko it's Thursday," ulit pa niya, kumunot ang aking noo. Anong meron? What is she trying to imply?

"Anong meron?" clueless kong tanong, Zea's eyes widened.

What the hell is wrong with her?

Itinaas ko ang cami blouse ko dahil pakiramdam ko nahihila ito pababa and my chest is showing. My hand found my elephant pendant and I played it as I stare back at Zea's shocked face.

Seriously, what's with her?

"Oh my God!" she exclaimed. Umawang ang aking labi.

"What happened? Oh my God, Kaia! Himala ba ito? You know it's Thursday, right?" she blabbed and I nod my head. My thumb still caressing my elephant pendant.

Malelate na kami pero hindi pa siya nag aayos ng kanyang buhok, water is evidently dripping from her hair. Gulo gulo din ito pero ang kanyang muhka ay ipinagtataka ko. Her face... looks amused.

"Girl! You should be frowning now! It's Thursday and it's your hatest day of the week!" aniya at bumuhos sa akin ang lahat. Oh!

My lips formed a thin line, fuck.

What am I gonna tell her?

I don't hate Thursday already because of... shit! I shouldn't be thinking it right now!

Basta hindi ko na hate ang Thursday ngayon! Sa totoo nga ay dalawang araw ko din itong hinintay na dumating!

"Just shut up, will you?" I snapped at her and looked away.

Pakiramdam ko ay nasusunog na ako sa impyerno dahil sa pagsisinungaling ko sa mismong bestfriend ko. But no one knew. No one knew what happened last Monday. No one knew how I burst into tears while walking my way to Xavier's apartment.

Walang may alam ng nangyari, not even Zea or Rafael or Roseburg.

Hindi nila alam, they don't know what I said to Xavier—okay, Kaia, stop it!

"Oh okay, that's it. I'm used with that grumpy Kaia today.Hindi iyong nakangiting Kaia katulad kanina. Seriously, Kaia? Bakit ka nakangiti?" she curiously asked and I shook my head. She will not get it, of course.

Wala akong planong sabihin sa kanya o ikwento ito ngayon lalo na't hindi pa maliwanag. Xavier and I still didn't talk about us, after my burst out, he just... kissed me and that's all.

We stayed at his sofa and he just held me for hours. Nag stay ako sa apartment niya hanggang hapon at umuwi na rin sa sarili kong dorm, we just talked a little but we never dared to talk about us.

Siguro mahalaga ngayon ay maayos na ang lahat. We figured our heart out and maybe that's everything for us. The moment our lips touched each other, we already know we're back, our hearts connected again. The hearts that long, the hearts that hope and the souls that loves.

Xavier didn't open the talk and I did not, too. Maybe because we don't want to ruin the moment. Our hearts just got back together and that's beyond okay for now.

Huminga ako ng malalim at hinawi ang aking buhok.

"Bawal na ba ngumiti? Seriously, Zea? Magbihis ka na nga, malelate lang ako dahil sa'yo!" asik ko.
