"Why don't you go out? Hindi 'yung ako ang kinukulit mo dito," Kim blurted out as she rolled her eyes at me.
Prente akong nakaupo sa couch ng condo niya habang nanonood ng tv. Kim has been complaining about my unannounced visit.
"Aww, hindi mo na ba ako love, Kimtot?" I said with a playful pout.
She picked up a pillow at tinapon sa mukha ko, "Huwag mo 'kong artehan, Valdez ha. Alam nating hindi ka bumisita dito para makipag-bonding sa'kin."
"Sus! Gusto mo lang ma-solo si Cyd, eh," I smirked at tinapon pabalik sa kanya ang unan.
Si Cyd ang girlfriend ni Kim, na busy sa pagluluto ng merienda sa kusina.
Kim playfully glared at me but smirked eventually, kilalang-kilala ko ang mokong na 'to at alam kong tama ako.
I am here at Kim's place at the moment dahil gusto ko lang makaramdam ng laya, feel free and stress-free.
Well, honestly, may pinagtataguan ako.
"Oo na, sige na," I said as I stood up lazily from the couch, "Cyd! Alis na 'ko."
"Why? Nag prepare pa naman sana ako ng merienda natin," Cyd shouted from the kitchen.
"Pinapalayas na kasi ako ni Kim! Gusto ka raw niyang ma-solo," I snitched.
Agad naman akong nilapitan ni Kim at binatukan, nakita naman yun ni Cyd.
"Kim!" Cyd scolded and turned her attention to me, "Ly, sigurado ka ba? Ayaw mo bang kumain muna?"
"Busog pa ako, Cyd, pero si Kim mukhang may gustong kainin kaya pinapaalis na ako," I grinned mischievously as I wiggled my eyebrows.
Nakita kong namula si Cyd bago siya nagmadaling bumalik sa kitchen, tiningnan naman ako ng masama ni Kim and I just laughed at the two of them.
I waved my hand in dismissal bago ako nagsimulang maglakad towards the door.
I was about to open it nang bigla akong tinawag ni Kim, at na-sense ko naman that her voice was more serious this time.
"Ly, think about it. Ayokong makulong ka sa relasyong nakakasakal at hindi masaya," Kim said sincerely.
"I know, Kim. Thank you," I said before going out.

I ended up driving circles just to let time pass, before I finally decided where to go.
My phone beeped and rang multiple times and I was just ignoring it.
It all came from one person lang naman, I would just glance at the screen, read the notification and continue driving.
On the last message, tinabi ko muna ang sasakyan at kinuha ang phone ko.
