8:47pm

Breakfast.

Lunch.

Dinner.

He skip it all. Dahil lang sa ayaw nya akong makaharap. Dahil lang sa ayaw nya akong makita.

I don't want him like this. He's being childish. He's being irational. I gave up. Today. But I'm sure be back tomorrow. Coz I am not giving up on you Zach. Never.

Ali knocks on his door.

'Zach! Fine!! You won. I'm going home. Please eat. May mga niluto ako. And - and I miss you.'

I miss you too!

'Bye Zach.'

He hears the front door closed. He steps on the hallway. He cringe as he smells her scent around his place.

Damn it Ali!!

Ali just realized as she sat at her living room,and she hears her stomach growl. That just as Zach,she didn't ate any today because she's waiting for him.

Ali turns on her phone after almost 24 hours of letting it on her backseat. Messages from her mother, Faye and Kaizer's welcomes her.

Her mother checking up on her.

Faye checking up on her.

And Kaizer,not checking up her. No,he was actually checking up on Ali's decision about them talking in person.

In your dreams Kaizer!

She doesn't know why he's so pissed on him. Nung exhbit iba ang pakiramdam nya. Para syang nanghina at naapektuhan sya just by hearing his name. She cried. She's upset and mad at him but he didn't imagine herself shouting and swearing to him. Not until that night in exhibit when he called. And the day after. Galit si Ali because he ruined everything before. And he's ruining it again now,with Zach.

Kaizer's calling again.

Bahala ka dyan! I'm starving.

Ali,picks up the sandwich na tira nila ni Faye kanina.

Mas ok to kesa kausapin ka.

She stares at her phone until it's screen died.

She was busy taking a bite when Zach's name appear on his phone. She throw the sandwich away then answer it.

'Zach?'

'Ali? Kumain ka ba?'

He noticed.

'Ha? Oo naman.'

Best liar ever.

'Tsk! What are you eating?' Ali smiles. Zach knows. Zach cares.

'Sandwich.'

'Ang dami mong iniwang pagkain dito tapos sandwich lang kinakain mo dyan.'

'Ok lang ako Zach!'

Just say you want me back. Just say you want me to eat with you. Juat say you want to kiss me and make love to me. Say it Zach.

'Bye Ali!'

Failed.

Ali was just out from shower. Her hairs covered by a towel. She rush to the window to see someone knocking this late. She opens the door immediately just as he saw Zach standing outside.

'Zach? What are you doing here?'

'Food.' inabot nya dito ang isang bag puno ng pagkain. The one she cooked and some more.
