Storm's
Nagising ako dahil sa tunog ng cellphone ko. Hindi naman ako nag alarm ng ganitong oras ah? Tinignan ko yung cellphone ko. Hindi naman pala alarm yung tumunog. Someone's calling me. Unregistered number yung tumawag.
"Who's this?" I said after picking up the phone.
"Autumn." She said. Ah, I remember.
"Why did you call me?" I asked, curious. I met her yesterday at the coffee shop. Wala ng available na upuan kaya she asked kung pwede bang makaupo. Tumango nalang ako since ako lang naman mag-isa.
Then, we started talking. Until pinunta niya yung topic kay Thunder. I didn't know that they knew each other. Hindi niya naman naku-kwento.
Ano nga namang ineexpect ko? Thunder and I stopped talking few years ago. Wala na akong alam sa kung anong nangyayari sakanya. I'm not interested though.
She told me everything I needed to know. Kung sino siya, at kung anong relasyon niya kay Thunder. Which made me want to protect Rain from him.
Because I don't want him to hurt her again.
"I spotted them together at the park. Pick me up at my place. Pupuntahan natin sila." She said and ended the call. That girl is surely cold as ice, huh?

I saw Autumn wearing a plain black cap, and a brown shades. Kailangan niya bang magtago?
Buti naman at nakita niya agad yung kotse, Hindi ko na kailangan pang bumaba para tawagin siya.
"Bakit ganyan ang suot mo? Nagtatago ka ba?" I asked.
She took off her shades and placed it on her lap. Autumn looked at me-emotionless. "Yes, if he finds out that i'm here. Our plan will be ruined."
"What do you mean by 'our'? I'm just helping you kasi gusto kong protektahan si Rain." Once na sigurado na akong okay na siya, Then i'll stop meeting her.
"Whatever you say." She said and shrugged.
Pagkatapos ng ilang minuto, Nakarating na din kami sa park. Autumn stayed in the Car. Lumabas ako para tignan kung nasan sila.
They're at the swing set. I felt a slight pain in my chest. Tangina, bakit ganun.
I saw them leaving the park kaya pumunta na ko sa kotse.
"I think ihahatid niya na si Rain." Sabi ko kay Autumn
"Follow them. Once na makarating na tayo dun, Get Thunder's attention." She said while looking at her phone.
"For what reason?" Kinukwestyon ko na rin yung sarili ko kung bakit ko ba siya sinusunod. Nagmumukha na tuloy akong alalay niya.
"You'll see." Sabi niya.
Sinunod ko naman ang sinabi niya at pumunta na sa bahay ni Rain.
Pagka dating dun, lumabas ako ng kotse. Sakto yung timing ko kasi andun pa si Thunder.
"Rain!" I called her name and she looked at me at kinawayan niya ako kaya naman lumapit ako sakaniya.
