POV : Bryan and Ella.

"Hindi ba pupunta si Miguel?"

Nagmimistula akong giraffe dito kaka-angat ng aking ulo upang makita sa dagat ng tao ang isa pa sa dalawa kong mga kaibigan sa mundong ito.

"I called him a week ago to tell him I found you. The only message I received from him is telling me how much of a jerk, bastard, asshole and motherfucker I am. He didn't say anything about going here." Sagot ni Bryan sa'kin sabay inom ng alak n'ya.

"Rich?"

He shook his head.

"I haven't had contact with him since the day he saved you from Danica."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil sa sinabi n'ya. Hinawakan ko ang braso n'ya't hinarap sa'kin. His deep set of eyes locked to me.

"I thought tinago mo sila ng pamilya n'ya?"

"Only his family. Hindi ko pa s'ya nakikita."

N-nakita? Six years na ang lumipas simula nang mangyari iyon, p-paano kung nahuli s'ya ng kung sino at s-sinaktan o 'di kaya'y pinatay? Paano kung bago makulong ang buong pamilya ni Danica ay binawian muna siya?! I swallowed the lump on my throat as water began to pool at the corners of my eyes. Bryan seemed to sense whatever's going on in my mind. His eyes started to blink rapidly, he touched my cheeks and planted a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Shh. He's okay."

"H-how do you know? Hindi mo nga s'ya nakikita!"

"Not seeing him doesn't mean I don't know if he's dead or alive. He's somewhere around Taiwan, hiding or living his peaceful life."

"Paano mo naman nalaman?"

"I've had my eyes on him because I know that someday, when we'll meet again, you'll be dying to know about your friends."

I sighed. His hazel brown eyes that are painted with the orange of sunset glisten as he smiled at me. Showering me with his deep affection. Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya't binagsak ito gilid naming dalawa.

"Maraming salamat. Kaya pala may number ka ni Miguel at Chloe sa cellphone mo." I chuckled and he did, too. Nilapit niyang muli ang kaniyang labi sa'king noo.

"Anything for my baby."

His husky voice sent shivers down my spine. My stomach is always bubbling with joy whenever he touches, kiss or say something to me. Para akong bata na tuwang-tuwa tuwing ang crush n'ya ay kinakausap s'ya.

"Hoy, akin naman 'tong si Ella. Um-epal ka lang sa buhay namin nawala na s'ya sa'kin!" Chloe grabbed me on my elbow and dragged me away from Bryan.

I saw the defeat in Bryan's eyes, kukunin n'ya sana ako ngunit kinuntsaba na pala ni Chloe si Tequila at Kuya Darren na harangin si Bryan at dalhin sa umaalong mga katawan ng tao sa gitna ng dance floor. Tequila keeps shouting happily while dancing with his favorite uncle.

"You have a plenty of chismis for me, babae!" She whispered and the taste of wine lingers around her breath.

"I know! I know so stop dragging me!" Natatawa kong sambit sa kanya. Strands of her silky straight hair slapping my eyes and my nose. She smells like lavender.
