I woke up naked. yes, something happen last night. but I didn't bother to elaborate. iba kasi sya sa usual sex namen. ung kagabi hindi sya about pleasure, parang puno ng strong emotions that we both have to release. nagkataon lang na sa sex namen yun naiparating.

and this morning I woke up because of the aroma from the kitchen, obviously he's still here.

"bat nandito ka pa?" tanong ko

"to make you breakfast.." sagot nya habang naghahain

"I told you, wala kang responsibilidad sake--"

"kasi hindi kita boyfriend. I know. I just want to" sabi nya mimicing me

"tsss.. gumanyan ka pa, pag ako natuluyan.." bulong ko

"stop murmuring, now eat up" sabi nya

"opo boss sungit" sagot ko with matching salute

"hindi ako masungit" kalma nyang sagot

"hindi daw pero pag nasa opisina, dedma."

..

break na at pumunta kong 7/11 na katabi ng office. tinatamad akong kumain eh kaya bumili nalang ako ng cup noodles, sa sobrang bangag ko eh ung french vanilla na pindot ko nung una imbis na hot water, buti nalang at narealize ko agad.

I sat there, and yes tama sila that noodles can make you feel better specially the soup.

while eating, I'm contemplating for these past days. mag oone month na tong set up namen. and I know it will never reciprocate. never. as if miracles are going to happen.

"hindi man lang nag aya" napalingon ako. fudge anong ginagawa nya dito? eh di ba mr. sungit ang peg nya sa office?

"masyado kang masungit para ayain" sagot ko

"is it delicious?" pagkasabi nya inagaw nya ung tinidor at kumain. OMG indirect kiss! okay samen walang malisya, eh ilang beses ko nang natikaman laway nya no. pero pano sa co-workers nameng nakakita? fuuudge! issue nanaman!

"huy! may makakita sa ginawa mo! ma iissue nanaman ako!" sabi ko

"its alright, I won't let them touch you" sabi nya

"ewan ko sayo. sayo na yan! ibili mo ko ng bago!" sabi ko

"spoiled.." sabi nya at pumunta sa aisle ng noodles at bumili. haha uto uto.

..

"Hoy landi tawag ka ni Mr. Lopez" sabi ni Celine

I ignore her insult at pumunta sa office ni sir. I knocked on the door

"sir pinapatawag nyo daw po ako?" sabi ko

"yes iha come in, maupo ka" sabi ni sir. umupo naman ako

may inilapit syang brown envelope saken

"tignan mo" sabi nya

I opened it. and it full of pictures, pictures of Lyre and me.

ung tinulungan ako ni Lyre, ung papasok kame sa building ng condo nya, ung sinundo nya ko nung dinalaw ung lola nya, and ang last ung nagkukulitan kame sa 7/11

"Lyre, never socialize since his grandma died. kaya isa lang ang naging kaibigan nya, si Kyla lang ang naging kaibigan nya, pero iniwan din sya nito.." seryoso nyang sabi.

"at ngayon, napapansin ko ang closeness nyong dalawa. may namamagitan ba sainyo?" tanong nya. paghihiwalayin na ba kame ng ama nya dahil mag kaiba ang estado namen sa buhay? haha, nah.. as if may namamagitan samen, saken may something, kay Lyre--Lust, yeah lust lang

"a-ano, w-wala po.. friends lang po kame.." sagot ko. bigla naman syang tumawa. hala, may nasabi ba kong joke unconciously?

"haha, pasensya na. parehas na parehas kasi kayo ng sagot, pati ng itsura ng mukha" sabi nya. pssshh gaya gaya lang yun

"anyway, I wanted to invite you--" biglang bumukas ung pinto

"I'm finding you all over this building, I'm going to ask you something" sabi ni Lyle halatang exhausted

"Lyre its rude to interupt conversations" sabi nung dad nya

"important ba sasabihin mo dad?" authoritive nya tanong na tila pag mamayari nya ko

"I want to invit--"

"wag mo kong pangunahan dad.." sabi nya and his dad just raised his both hands sign of his defeat

"teka teka. bat ba talaga ko nandito?" tanong ko, tumingin ako kay dad este kay sir at tinignan nya naman si Lyre like he's saying sya na bahala mag explain so I looked at Lyre

"uhh.. ehh.."

"ano ba Lyre! ako na nga--"

"can you come with me in our family reunion?" tanong nya. watdapak. f-family reunion? I mean ma-memeet ko na family nya? is this for real?

"ahh.. s-sure.." sagot ko

"yes! now let me drive you home" sabi nya. nagulat ako, the heck. sinabi nya ba talaga yun sa harap ng papa nya?
