Jaden

I went inside the tent. Soaking as I was, I needed warmth.

I unconsciously moved closer to kyle leaving a centimetre of a distance.

She’s hot.

I mean not “hot” hot. May fever sya.

Ang lakas parin ng ulan.

Ang ingay. Ayoko ng maingay.

Ulan nalang kaiinisan ko pa? haaaaaay.

Nanginginig sya. Sino ba naman di lalamigin eh gabi na, tpos malakas pa ang ulan.

That reminds me. Hindi pa pala kami nakain.

Chineck ko ang bag sa labas at pag kuha ko ng bag ko, agad kong hinanap ang mga cookies na dala ko.

Yes, cookies. How manly.

“kyle, kain tayo.”

Kaso, tulog pain sya. Hope she’ll be fine.

Some snakes only give fever and chills, but nothing really serious. Saka nung na observe ko ung fangs nung snake, seemingly harmless naman sya.

I’ll just save some cookies for her.

Pagka kain ko bumalik ako sa kinahihigaan ko.

Mataas parin ang lagnat nya. At sobrang giniginaw.

I cuddled her to keep her warm.

She feels soft and warm.

Parang konting higpit ko lang ng yakap ko ay mababali sya.

Hindi ako sanay na Makita syang ganito. Kasi kadalasan, ang taray taray nya at parang hindi madadapuan ng sakit.

Suddenly, I felt her hold my hand.

My heart started beating fast.

Damn, this is crazy. I’m stuck here with my brother’s girl, with the most awkward position ever.

But I feel like I like this. To stay close like this. Afterall, this might be the only time I can get close enough to her.

She lay here, holding my hand. My hand.

“Jan ka lang Darren ah, pag umalis ka wag kang magpapakita at lagot ka sakin.”

OO nga pala.

Hindi ako si Darren. Ngayon ko lang gusto maging si Darren.

He’s one lucky guy. Pero parang bakit lahat yata ng babaeng magugustuhan ko, sa kanya na iinlove?

Take camz for example. I used to love her. Pero I let Darren be her suitor. Lagi nalang ako nag bibigay, minsan nakakapagod na.

I felt tired, and all the body pain from this day began to hurt one by one. And I have no choice but to sleep. Knowing that tomorrow, things would be go back to the way it was.

I just wish this could last longer.

Darren

“Anong nawawala?! Saan naman pupunta yun??” tanong ko kay Claire.

“mukha ba kaming close?” sagot nya sakin, sabay taas ng kilay.

“Tayo, hindi close, kaya you’re fired.” Sabi ko

“Sir, joke lang!!!” sabay bawi nya

“Pero hindi ko po talaga alam kung nasan sya. Kahapon pa sya nawawala eh”

**ring**ring**

“Darren, anak! Nakita mo si jaden?? He promised to escort me papunta sa mommy ni camz.”

“sorry mom, I can’t deal with jaden right now. You see, kyle is missing. Kanina pang umaga.”

“baka bumalik sa dad- .. no, I mean baka bumalik na sa day care. Alam ko dun sya dati naka

assign. School nurse sya dati.”

“why do you know so much mom?” pagtataka ko

“Mothers know best. Anyway, I’m sure she’ll be fine.”

“Jaden’s missing too? Tingin ko nag gala lang yun. He’d rather go to a bar that go to that tea party.”

“Just be safe, Darren.. ok?”

“Yes mom.”

Where should I start? Saan ko sila hahanapin?

I went to kyle’s room sa ampunan.

I opened her drawers, shelves, then her desk. I saw a picture.

2 girls, playing at sun flower fields.

I set it aside and looked for other clues. Then I saw her “to do list.”

1.       Get med supplies

2.       Buy groceries

3.       Watch Grey’s anatomy

4.       Write something

5.       Sun flower day. 

Sun flower field+ to do..

She must be there..

I reaserched on the computer on where is the nearest field.

Sa bayan ng Gorbon.

That’s near. I’ll go and find her.

Cause if I don’t I might go crazy.
