Nathalia's POV

Today is monday so back to school again. I went with my older brother to school because I didn't expect Adrian to fetch me and bring me to school like what he told me when we were at their house.

Tsaka kung isasabay niya ako edi sana maaga siya diba?

"Nathalia, pwede mo ba ako samahan magpa-print sa labas? Kailangan ko kasi talaga to later." Margo approached me while holding a flashdrive.

"Sure." sagot ko naman. Wala pa yung instructor namin kaya pwede pang lumabas labas.

"Thanks, come on." nakangiting sabi niya saka nagsimula na kaming maglakad palabas."Wala pa naman kasi si Angela eh. Ikaw tuloy na-istorbo ko." dagdag pa niya.

"No worries. It's okay. Besides hindi ka naman nakaka-istorbo. What are friends are for, right?" I smiled.

"Thank you." she smiled back.

Ipinagpatuloy lang namin ang paglalakad hanggang sa makarating kami sa tabi ng gate.

There's a stool here near at gate where you were able to print and photo copy. It is inside the campus.

"Wait lang. Magpapa-print na ako." tinalikuran niya ako saka siya humarap sa shop at nagpaprint na.

I, on the other hand, turned my back on the shop and just looked everywhere. My eyes went to the gate when it opened. Since we were close to the gate I could see the people entering. My attention got caught  by the car that entered the gate. While looking at the car which is just entered there's sunddenly name popped in ny head. 'Adrian.'

Si Adrian ang unang pumasok sa isip ko. Hindi ko alam kung bakit siya ang unang pumasok sa isip ko. Eh samantalang hindi ko naman alam kung sino ang nakasakay sa kotse na 'yan. Also he always use his motorbike when he goes here, not car. So it's probably not him.

My eyes followed the car until it reached the parking lot. The parking lot is just near the gate so you can see from here next to the gate the cars that were going to the parking lot.

That car stopped and I can still see it because it was not covered by another vehicle. From the passenger seat a familiar bulk of woman came out, and if I'm not mistaken it was Lily Camino. Her smile was big and wide when she got out.

My lips parted and my eyes widened at the sight of the next familiar man emerge from the driver's seat.

Parang may kumurot sa puso ko na hindi maipaliwanag dahil sa nakita ko.

'So kaya pala hindi niya ako sinundo kasi iba ang sinundo niya?'

Akala ko ba sabay kami? Bakit iba ang kasabay niya? May pasabi sabi pa siya sa akin ng kung ano anong matatamis na salita tapos ganon-ganun na lang 'yon?

'Isa pa, bakit ba ako naniniwala sa mga sinasabi niya?'

Siguro nga tama ang iniisip ko na si Lily yung babaeng matagal nang gusto ni Adrian. Siya yung sinundan ni Adrian ng course, ang babaeng dahilan kung bakit siya nag business manangement.

'Kung sabagay, ano naman ngayon kung siya nga?'

Tapos kotse pa ang gamit ni Adrian? Para sosyal ang pangsundo niya kay Lily? Samantalang sa akin ay hanggang motor lang ganun? Ganoon siya ka protective kay Lily? Sana all special.

'Hayst, bakit ko ba kinukumpara?'

I shrugged my thoughts 'cause it is starting to pissed me off.
