"Baka maging multo ka nanaman, ha?" tugon ni Rose.

"Oo na, I'll keep in touch from now on." I replied with a toothy smile.

"Dapat lang! Kung hindi, sasabihin ko sa Japan na magkaroon ng part two ng Pearl Harbor para mag evacuate ka dito sa Pilipinas at huwag nang bumalik pa sa Hawaii!" Halos mapatakip ako sa aking dalawang tainga dahil sa kaniyang malakas na boses. Nilingon ko naman si Luigi na ngayon ay nakakibit-balikat.

"I'm still disappointed because my sister made you confessed yet didn't made you stay here." Luigi snorted as I glared at him. Paano ba naman kasi, nagulat ako nang pagkaalis ko sa lugar na iyon, ay kinabukasan ay pumunta ang magkapatid na Fajardo sa unit na tinutuluyan ko.

A loud knock was heard from my door as I quickly combed my hair using my fingers before I opened it. Gulat kong nilingon si Lindsay na ngayon ay v neck sleeveless at slim jeans kasama si Luigi na ngayon naman ay nakasuit and tie.

"W-what are you doing here?" Lindsay crossed her arms as she faced her brother.

"Aalis ka pa rin?" tugon ni Lindsay.

"Ayaw mo pa non?" I fired back , only to make her laugh. Siraulo rin to, ah.

"Girl, I thought you already knew. Hindi pa ba obvious that it was all an act? Klarong klaro na sa akin na hindi ako magagawang mahalin ni Nathan." Kunot noo ko siyang pinagmasdan.

"What the hell are you saying?" bulalas ko habang hinihintay si Luigi magsalita.

"I made her do it. Nate told us that he already signed the papers the exact time when he asked our permission to go with you. Kaya kami napapayag. That's why I asked Lindsay to do the role, but hell, you never even mentioned that you were jealous. " Napanganga ako sa sinabi ng aking kaibigan.

"Traitors! Absolute traitors!" I said, exaggeratedly.

"At ikaw naman!" I pointed to Lindsay that made her raised a brow.

"Huwag mo nga akong pinagloloko, alam ko namang gustong gusto mo rin iyon!" I spat.

"Hell yes, I did? Sino bang may ayaw? It's Aeson Nathaniel Vergara." kibit-balikat niyang tugon.

"So, are you going or not?" she asked. Tinuro ko ang aking mga maleta at kinuha ang sapatos na susuotin.

"Eh bakit sinabi mong mahal mo?" Nilingon ko siya nang may matalim na titig.

"Not because you love that certain person, that'll be enough to make you stay. Hindi lang doon umiikot ang relasyon."

"Pero diba, kung mahal mo? You'll be there through the ups and downs. Not just staying because of the heated desire that you want to feel within the relationship?" I exhaustedly faced her.

"I'm leaving and that's final."

Nilingon ko ngayon si Xander na masama rin ang tingin sa akin.

"You guys, really need to calm the fuck down. Ganiyan ba talaga ang ipapabaon niyo sa akin sa Amerika? My conscience will haunt me, geez."

"I'm disappointed with my brother too." Paulit ulit siyang umiling habang nakatingin sa malayo.

"Umiiyak siguro iyon ngayon, no?" Rose told Luigi.
