Claire's POV

"Hello?" I answered Dad's call.

"Thank God you are okay! You made me worry!" Nangunot ang nuo ko sa sinabi niya.

"Huh? Anong nangyayari?" I sat on my bed.

Nandito ako sa kwarto namin ni Ikoy—

Namin..

That sounds weird. And why is my heart beating so fast? Napasapo ako sa dibdib ko.

Why is it like this?

"Claire!" Napa-iktad ako nung sumigaw si Dad sa telepono.

"W-what?...I-Im sorry, I spaced out." I explained at bumuntong hininga naman ito.

"It's okay, as I was saying, there's a typhoon heading there. It's quite strong, so I advice you to be careful. And since you are the one who is in-charge, you will be responsible for any accidents there, you got me?"

Tumango ako, kahit na hindi ko naman nakikita ang kinakausap. "Noted, Dad"

"Good, Im gonna hung up now, take care."

Naalala ko naman bigla ang mga damit ko. "WAIT! DAD!!" Biglang sigaw ko.

"Ouch! Young lady! How dare you shout at me!" Napangiwi naman ako.

"Where's my clothes?" I ask him instead.

"Tsk. Not even paying attention to your daddy anymore..." parang nagtatampo na ani nito.

My eyes shooted heavenwards "Dad seriously, the clothes?" I ask him again

"U-uhmm... About that.." He nerviously chuckled.

"Im sorry sweetie, I cant send my men to bring you the clothes because of the upcoming storm." Paglalambing nito sa akin.

I sight. "Fine, tsk. When will you bring me the clothes then?" I asked him.

"They said that the typhoon will last for 3 days, maybe after a week." Sabi nito, nanlaki naman ang mata ko. No way!

"Dad!" I shouted. "Ouch!" I heard him on the other line uttering a curse, too loud I suppose.

"Im kidding! After 4 days! Jeez! you are getting loud every day. You are usually quite." Naglaho ang emosyon sa mata ko.

"Im hanging up. Bye dad." I retorded nonchantly.

"Wh— " I ended the call.

Napailing-iling ako at napayuko habang sapo ang nuo ko.

What happened to me anyway? Dad's right. I noticed that I bacame animated this past few days. Nagsimula lang naman ito nang maging slave ako ni Ikoy.

Last time I become like this... when was it again?

Fear enveloped my being as I recall the last time I had deep feelings for someone.

Napatayo ako, pacing back and forth. It can't be! Is the history repeating itself?

T-the last time.... I was with.... Jude!

No, No, No, No, No... this is bad.. reallyyy, really bad.

Why did I realize this just now?! I should have known! There's something similar with some stuffs!

I fell on the bed still thinking the consequence for making BBG near me and the gang.

I sighted.
