"What the hell are you doing here?!"

I felt the searing pain of humiliation when one of his friend whistled. Nakita ko ang mabilisang paglipat ng matalim niyang tingin doon. Just like that, his friend continued with their own world. I was left with Tyron.

"I'm asking you, Nojadera. Why are you here again?" napipikon pa rin ang boses nito.

He didn't went to our side. Naglakad na ito patungo doon sa pasilyo papuntang silid. Mabilis akong tumalima at sumunod sa kaniya. I noticed that this place became spacious, too. Ang dating iisang room ay nadagdagan pa ng dalawa. I can also see from here the renovated kitchen and dining area. May center island na.

Just what changed after two years of my absence?

Tyron opened the door of the new room. I immediately went inside. He shook his head in disappointment when he realized I'm still tailing him.

"I just want to pay you a visit and know how you've been doing after two years," I told him my explanation while holding my breath.

He carefully put down his helmet on its rightful place before he decided to take off his jacket. He revealed a blue shirt that hugs his biceps and muscle in a good way which made me envious.

He then sat on his bed and took off a pack of white powder.

"Leave, Avaya. I'm in the right state of mind," he dismissed me while taking off the lock of the transparents plastic.

Drugs... That is an illegal drug. Cocaine!

Before I could even ask him for confirmation of what he's holding, my body moved on its own. Nakita ko na lang ang sarili kong malalaki ang hakbang patungo sa kaniya at mabilis na hinablot ang plastic na iyon.

His dark eyes grew even darker. Fury consumed him, gloom coiled within his visage, distorting his features into a swollen mask of rage.

"Fuck you, Nojadera! Give me that back!" his voice rang out like thunder.

I shook my head in disagreement. I'm not going to give this to him! My lips started trembling because of the situation. He said he's not in his right state of mind, so there is a possibility that he's drunk by these drugs before he came here and he just wants to have some more.

"A-alam ba 'to ni Tita Alesha?" sinubukan kong tatagan ang boses ko.

I don't want him to smell my fear. I don't want him to tower over me just like what he did before because this is a serious case. He could be in jail if the police find out about this!

"I said leave, right?! And you don't fucking care, Nojadera!" he is gritting his teeth as he said that.

Tumayo na ito kaya humakbang ako patalikod. There is no way I will hand him this. Hindi na ito basta sigarilyo o alak! This is cocaine! He's doing illegal drugs!

He ran his fingers through his hair, gripping the strands as if trying to hold onto sanity. He looked so stressed out.

"Can you not ruin my peace, huh? Disappear like what you did two years ago." His tone turned icy and cutting, each word laced with simmering anger. "I prefer it that way."

With every backward step I took, he mirrors my actions, trapping me against the wall. I futilely tried to conceal the cocaine, but his superior strength allowed him to snatch it from me. In a fit of rage, he forcefully slammed it against the wall. Lahat ng laman noon, sumabog sa pader at sa sahig. Puting-puti iyon at pino.

"Don't use it, Ty..." pakikiusap ko sa kaniya.

Tita Alesha won't be happy to know about this but other than that, I am worried that he will get addicted to this and can't no longer find redemption in the end. Umiling ako at pilit sinalubong ang mata niyang nag-aalab sa galit.
