~REUNION~
I'm now walking towards my classroom.
"Bumalik na pala sya. Ang tagal nya ring nawala no. Ano kayang nangyari sa kanya?"
"Ano kayang magiging reaksyon nya sa mga nangyari?"
Tuloy-tuloy lang ako sa paglalakad. They're meddling with someone's life again. They really can't do something valuable with their own lives.
It only took a while bago ako makarating sa room ko. I just sat on my chair. Napaaga ata ako. I looked outside the window, then I remembered what Ella asked me yesterday.
...Flashback...
"Napapadalas ka ata dito sa opisina Lein."
Tumigil lang ako sandali sa ginagawa ko but I did not answer her.
"May problema ka na naman ba?"
Binitawan ko yung ballpen na hawak ko and I stared at her.
"Is that a part of your job?" I coldly asked.
She just sighed.
"Yeah I know. I'm sorry, I crossed my limits. I'm just concern." Then I heard her walked out.
Napasandal na lang ako sa upuan ko at napapikit.
What a mess!
...End of Flashback...
I just closed my eyes at umubob sa desk ko.
Kailan ba 'ko nawalan ng problema?
***
Nagising na lang ako when I heard the bell rang. Wala man lang gumising sa 'kin? Dumako ang tingin ko sa board. I saw nothing. Wala ba kaming professor?
Lumabas na lang ako ng classroom and I'm heading to the rooftop. I'm just walking when I felt their presence. Napabagal ako sa paglalakad. We're going on opposite directions. I did not bother to threw them a glance. Tuloy tuloy lang ako sa paglalakad. They just did the same.
I'm about to pass them when I heard a voice.
"Len!"
Then I felt someone ran towards me. Napatigil sila sa paglalakad.
Iniangat ko ang tingin ko and I'm right. It's really him. Kumunot ang noo ko.
"Kamusta na?" He asked me na ngiting ngiti habang nakatayo sa harapan ko.
I just stared at him with question written all over my face. After a while, he chuckled at ginulo ang buhok ko. Then, he stopped.
"Nandito rin pala kayo. Long time no see."
And I felt him pulled me.
What's up with him?
"Tara cafeteria," aya nya kila Ina.
Hindi naman sila umangal but I felt their cold stares at me.
Sinadya kong magpabagal maglakad para makausap ko sya. Then nung nahuhuli na kami...
"What do you think you're doing Ian?" I whispered at him. I swear I sound pissed. Alam nya naman kung ano ang nangyari but still he's doing this silly thing.
He looked at me at biglang napakunot ang noo ko. I saw how he smiled sadly at me.
"It's for your happiness." Then he got his hand off me saka nagpatuloy sa paglalakad.
I don't know how I'm going to react with what he said.
I just found myself following their direction.

We're just silently eating around a table. Ramdam ko rin ang tingin ng ibang estudyante samin.
"Ang tahimik nyo naman."
Napatigil kami sa pagsubo at napatingin sa kanya.
"What? Your silence today is not like the usual. Actually, if I'm just a common person, I would think that you're strangers sitting around one table. Parang hindi naman natin kilala ang isa't isa."
Hindi lang kami sumagot sa sinabi nya. We just stared at him. He's really looking for a trouble.
"Teka...wag nyong sabihin sa 'kin na magkakaaway kayo? Ina?"
I saw how she stiffened with his question.
"H-ha? Ahm e, n-no." At umiwas sya ng tingin.
I looked at him.
"What will you expect? We are eating. We're not suppose to talk." I interrupted.
"B-but---"
"Stop asking nonsense things."
Hindi naman na sya nagsalita pa ulit. We just continued eating.
After a while natapos na rin naman kami at pumasok na sa kanya-kanyang klase.
No formal goodbyes between the four of us. We just separated ways.
I just stared outside the window until all my classes are done.
He's making it complicated. We're already fine with the set up. Yung hindi nagpapansinan. At least, hindi nagkakasakitan.
Hindi nga ba?
I smirked at the back of my mind.
I'm starting to fool myself.
I went straight to my house. I changed my clothes and just layed myself on my bed.
I'm about to sleep when...
DINGDONG!!! DINGDONG!!!
Kumunot ang noo ko as I looked at the time.
7:30 p.m.
Who could that be?
I went downstairs to ease my curiousity.
I heard my doorbell rang again before I could open my gate.
And when I did...
Mas lalong kumunot ang noo ko. Inilibot ko ang tingin ko sa kanilang lahat.
What are they doing here?
