"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" pigil hiningang tanong ko.

"Ayaw mo ba akong makita?"

"G-gusto pero di pa sa ngayon"

"Kailan?"

"Basta!" tss what's the point of scolding eh nandito na naman yan. "Ano ba kasing ginagawa mo dito?"

"Well nabalitaan kong you came back so I visited."

"Ba't sa kwarto ni Noah?" sabay tingin kay Noah na tahimik na nakikinig. Tumingin naman siya pabalik kaya ako unang  umiwas. Hate eye contacts.

"Nakita ko siya kanina sa reception tinatanong asan yung room mo. So I volunteered na samahan siya since papunta naman ako dito and your room is not registered to your surname, but mine" ano daw?

"Shanelle Liana Monticillo ayieee bagayyy" sigaw ng gaga.

"Shut up Allyssa" and I glared. "Bakit dito mo siya pinasok?" sabay tingin ng masama kay Noah.

"Selos bess?" Napatawa naman siya. Err.

"Papunta na kami sayo" masama ko siyang tiningnan "30 seconds lang kami dito sa loob may kinuha lang ako." tss

"I didn't ask" what is this feeling I hate this! "So why are you here Ally?"

"I just want to see you... hangout?" she said merely. 

"Sorry I came here for business intention only" I looked down, yun lang ba ang dahilan? maski ako diko alam. "Nothing more"

"Besss naman!" pagmamaktol niya "you've changed" as she said then I just smiled bitterly. Alam kong nagbago na ako. I rarely smile and laugh.

"Sorry" I said and held her hand "Don't worry if I have time still, we'll go out"

"Yieee promise??" I nod "Sigee! I'll bring my boyfriend!" ow sht.

Nagkatitigan kami. Awkward gaze. Kakaibang pakiramdam. 

"Okay, I'll bring Noah too" I look at Noah then flashed a smile. 

"Yieeee sige sige babyeee!"she ran towards the door and waved happily. "Call call text text nalang ahh!" I nod then laugh. Those good days, yung dodoblehan pa namin ang mga salita. How I miss those. We were so innocent.

Napapupo nalang ako sa sofa and breath deeply.

"Problem?" sabi ni Noah na katabi ko lang pala.

"Wala yun" I said naturally. Ayaw kong may mabakas siyang lungkot at puot. "Bakit mo iniba apilyedo ko?" pagiiba ng topic ko.

"May discount kasi" he said mischievously. HAHA nakakatawa yung expressions niya. Ngayon ko lang to nakita, and he never failed to amaze me with those hidden attitudes. 

"I didn't know na ang may ari ng the biggest company at UK ay fan ng discounted items" sabay tawa naming dalawa. "Ano pala yung sasabihin mo?"

"Oh that! I wan't you to tour me. Five days palang naman before the meeting. To freshen my thoughts dahil puro nalang tayo stress sa states"

"Well I agree on that" 

"You always do Ms. Bautista" the smirk flashed again.

*TUGUDTUGUDUG*

'Pumasok nanaman tong kabayo'

I am sitting here still sa sofa ni Noah. 

"Noah! How bout we go to Cebu?" I suggested.

"Okay rin, less crowded right?"

"Medyo" I said hesitantly. Ngayong panahon medjo crowded na ang Cebu because of tourists "But we can go to my province sure ako! Makakahanap ka ng peace of mind!"

"Sige! Mag book kana for tomorrow" ay nasan yung private plane niya? Joke lang!!! Nagmumukha akong gold digger HAHA.

So I opened Cebu Pacific-- a online airplane booking.

I printed the itinerary,paid nato using his' debit card.

After ko mag book I opened my Instagram since bored ako and a post caught my attention.

⚫  Allyssa_luv

1/24/xx

⚫ On the way to cebu!!

And a picture of a boy and girl's hand holding hands. 

Ngayon to alam ko, January 24 ngayon. How come bago lang kami nagkita tas ito agad mangayayari?

If this is coincidence I don't want to experience it. 

 Wait! I can't change our flights since bayad na ito.

 At sure ako di kami magkikita nito. Ang laki ng Cebu paano naman kami magkikita.

'Noah is with you no worries.'
