"Do you know each other, Xy?"

I rolled my eyes to Eunice because she asked me the same question she's asking me since that night. Paulit-ulit at halos paulit ulit ko rin naman iyong sinasagot ng hindi. Ewan ko lang kung anong mayroon sa pinsan kong ito kung bakit ayaw niyang maniwala at patuloy sa pagtatanong.

"No."

Tumingin siya sa akin na para bang hindi naniniwala sa sagot ko. O para bang hindi niya naiintindihan.

"You must be kidding me, Xy! We promised to not keep secrets to each other!"

And there, I rolled my eyes again at her!

Sa hindi ko naman talaga kilala iyon, pinipilit niya lamang.

"Kaya pala hindi ka masyadong nagulat noong kinuwento ko siya sayo," dugtong pa ni Euns.

"What? I am not keeping any secrets to you! And to be honest, I didn't know that man, okay? Actually, nagulat ako nang malaman ko na 'yong kinukwento mo ay siya!" mahinahon kong sabi pero may bahid ng inis.

Tumaas ang kilay ni Eunice sa aking sinabi, and flipped her hair.

"And, I never thought that the man you're talking was him! Kahit na sinabi mo na he's only twenty-four years old, I imagined him being old and has some wrinkles. It seems funny, pero 'yun 'yong naisip ko upon knowing him and his achievements," pagpapatuloy ko sa pagpapaliwanag.

Tumango si Eunice. "So if you did not know him, bakit ka niya kilala?"

And that's the question here. Bakit niya ako kilala?O kilala ba niya talaga ako? God! I should tell it to my parents to ask them. Since my parents are in business too.

"I don't know! Bakit ako ang tinatanong mo at bakit hindi siya? Do I look like I really know?"

"Can you explain why did he called you baby, huh?" Euns said while having a half smile at me that makes me irritated.

"Baby? Because he's old? Or just a playboy," I said without even thinking. I'm just irritated the way Euns reminded me at the word baby.

'I can be your experience, baby'... Damn! It keeps on playing in my mind! Damn!

Bakit niya kailangang sabihin iyon? At sa harap pa ng kaibigan ko, really? Pabida-bida. And I don't want him to be my experience in anything I didn't know from now.

"I can lend you more experience," pang-aasar sa akin ni Euns. "No need for going in places like this. I can be your experience, ba—"

"OMG, Euns! Stop it! Shut up," takip tenga kong sabi.

Tumawa ito dahilan nang pagtingin ng iba naming kaklase sa aming dalawa. Sa kahihiyan ay agad kong natampal ang kamay niya para tumahimik siya.

It's been 3 days, I guessed, when that night happened. That night, pagkatapos na pagkatapos niyang sabihin iyon, may dumating na iba pang mga kalalakihan at tinawag na siya. Elliot was smiling at me that time and all I can give him were sharp looks. Nawala ako sa mood para makapag-enjoy for my first night out in a club dahil sa mga pinagsasasabi niya. His words, eyes, movements makes me irritated! And it's also bothering me, especially his words!

Hindi naman sila tuluyan umalis noong gabing iyon dahil parang nagkayayaan pa sila na tumambay muna sa table nila. At isa rin sa dahilan kung bakit ako hindi nakapag-enjoy ay dahil nararamdaman ko ang paninitig niya sa akin. I didn't look at him, kasi alam kong mahihiya lang ako. And as I remembered, he's with two girls, sitting beside him! At ang nakakainis lang ro'n, tinawag niya pa akong baby even may kasama naman pala siyang babae.
