"I know exactly who she is." sambit ni Vaughnn sa isang seryosong boses.

Kahit kinakabahan ay sinagot ko siya.

"Ako? Then who am I?" I asked and looked at him.

"Menida Delos Reyes Lee. Lost your mom at your birth. Lost your father at the age of five. Got adopted. By the one and only Andrejs Lee. Who sent you to a boarding school in Zambales at the same age. You came back to Manila after 10 years, yet stayed separate.  After graduating high school at 18. Started to college at 19, which you are now. But your Dad wanted you to married. He dropped you out. You left your wedding which was yesterday. This is where Naston comes. Who was working part timer with you, and seem to had taken an interest. So he helped you, by bringing you here. Naston was going back to gang activities anyway, so he left the part time as well."

There was a awkward silence. Blaise had his mouth open as he understood everything. Rashid was also surprised as he didn't know much about it. 

My god.... That was too close!

Tumawa ako ng hilaw at tumingin isa-isa sa kanila.

"Sa tingin ko mas marami ka pang nalalaman sa akin kaysa sa sarili ko." I joked.


But it was serious. Ang lalaking ito na nakilala ko lang kagabi ay  marami na agad nalaman tungkol sa akin. There was a chance that he could find out my real identity.

"Menida, I didn't know more than half of this." usal ni Nashton.

Tumingin ako at ngumisi sa kanya.

"Hindi ka naman nagtatanong e," pangbabara ko sa kanya.

Ngumiwi siya sa akin kaya natawa ako.

"You could've just told me." pagmamaktol nito.

"Akala ko ba, you have your ways?" nanunuya kong sambit.

"Tss.." sabi nito kaya lalo akong natawa.

"Hey, I'm not an open person, you know that." pagdadahilan ko nalang.

"I assure you that. She didn't even open up to her middle school bestfriend Trisha." sabi ni Vaughnn.

Nabilaukan ako sa kinakain ko matapos marinig ang sinabi ni Vaughnn. Nashton passed a bottle of water to me. After recovering from the shocked, I looked at Vaughnn. 

"Pati 'yon alam mo pa?" nanlalaking matang tanong ko.

"Alam mo rin ba kung sino ang crush ko noong high school?"

"Hindi ba iyon yung English Teacher niyo? Or it could also be the senior who played basketball. " sambit nito.

Nalaglag ang panga ko.

Wow....

"Menida, you had a thing for a teachers?" magkasalubong ang kilay na tanong ni Nashton sa akin.

"N-no, just basketball players. " sabi ko at humarap muli kay Vaughnn.

"What else do you know? My biggest enemy?"

"Kimberly Roxas when you were in high school."

"Favorite shop?"

"Tokyo's sweet. Malapit sa apartment mo."
