Akesha POV
"Ito insan, matinong tanong. Mahal mo pa ba yung lalaking yun?"
"Ano bang klaseng tanong yan Lan. Hindi na ko magpapakatanga pa para sa isang lalaki. Lalo na sa parehong tao. Im not that stupid."
"You didnt answer my question." Tumayo na sya sa pagkakasalampak sa sahig tsaka bumaba ng hagdan. Ako? Naiwan. Tulala.
Esha. Binabalaan kita. Wag. Tama na.
Iniling iling ko ang ulo ko tsaka tumayo narin at pumunta sa kwarto ko. Napagod ako kakahabol sa hayup na yun. Haysss. Tinignan ko ang oras. Its already 5:30. I took a shower then change my clothes. Lumabas ako sa veranda saglit.
I look up at the sky. This is what I love about my room. Kitang kita ang magandang view mula dito sa kinatatayuan ko. Kitang kita ang malinaw na dagat mula sa malayo. Ang papalubog na araw. Its just so perfect. Reminding me about my past. A beautiful goodbye. The pain of letting go. The pain that I did not regret to be felt.
"Kesha?" I suddenly came back to my senses. I wipe my tears as I turn around. Hindi ko namalayang lumuha na pala ako. I smiled seeing my Mom.
"Mom. Youre here."
Lumapit sya sakin. I turn my gaze to the view as I felt her going towards me.
"You know what I love about sunset?" She suddenly ask to start our conversation
"Hmm?"
"I always remember your dad. Our past. How it all started." I smiled. A pale one. Me too mom. I always remember him. Our past. How it all ends.
"Magkatrabaho kayo Dad way back then right?"
"Yeah. Im the boyish type of a girl back then. Ang akala nga ng lahat babae ang makakatuluyan ko sa huli. Pero sino ba namang magaakala na ang Daddy mo ang magugustuhan ko. I like the way he reminds me of my own Dad. Sabi ko nga sa kanya noon, I wish to have a man like Dad. Because I witness how he loves my Mom morethan anyone in this world. And God gave him to me."
"Sana all" I suddenly blurted out.
"Are you saying something?" Napatingin ako sa kanya bigla.
"Am I? Ha.ha. Im just saying na how I wish to also have a man like Lolo and Dad."
"Ofcourse magkakaroon ka din. Someday but im warning you sweety, not today. Masasaktan ka lang. Masyado ka pang bata. " I smiled bitterly.
I know rigjt. But still, I fall for him. And Im so stupid to make the biggest mistake of falling in love with a man like him. But whats more stupid is that, if I could turn back time, I still want it to happen again. Because no matter what I say, He makes me feel happy. He makes me feel how to love and be loved. Even for a short time. Even if its.... fake.
"Cmon, lets go downstairs. Im sure the dinners ready." Tinapik nya ko sa balikat. Narinig ko naring sumara ang pinto ng kwarto ko. And I sighed. Its still coming back to me.
Again I wiped my tears but before I could turn my back, I saw a built of a man standing near our place. I tried to look and stare at him to know his face but he suddenly turn around riding his motor. He looks familiar. I shook my head as I turn around. Bumaba na rin ako para maghapunan.
Right, kesha. You will never let that happen again. Not even in your wildest dream. Dont you dare.

"Mom, where's lolo?"
"Nangangampanya. Alam mo na ilang araw nalang botohan na."
Nagkibit balikat nalang ako.
"Kasama sina Lan?"
"Oo. Pagala yung pinsan mo yun eh. Walang kapaguran."
Tumayo bigla si Mommy.
"Ikaw Mom? San ka pupunta?
"May work ako ngayon. Ikaw na muna dito sa bahay. Bye sweety" sabay halik sa pisngi ko.
"K Mom. Bye ingat."
Umakyat nalang ulit ako sa kwarto ko pagkaalis ni Mom. Walang magawa. Umupo ako sa harap ng study table ko at binuksan yung laptop. Magfefacebook nalang ako.
Pagkaopen ko ng account ko sunod sunod ang notif sakin ng message. But only one message caught my attention.
