Alliyah Llye's POV

"Stay there, I'm going to get you something," sabi nya at agad na tumalikod sa akin para pumunta siguro sa kusina.

Hindi ko na sya napigilan at hindi manlang ako naka-sagot sa kanya. Seriously, he's still avoiding me? For what? Again. I just wandered my eyes around their living room while sitted on the long black sofa. The interior design is very incredible. It's in a modern style, and the color suited my taste. Black, white and gold. Unlike ours which is pink. My mom picked that one.

Narinig ko ang yabag nya, kaya naman napa-ayus ako ng upo at tumingin sa hawak nya. It's a. . .

"Have some Ice coffee," he said handing me the cup of ice coffee.

Uminom muna ako don dahil uhaw na ako kakatakbo kanina, bago lumingon sa kanya. "How do you know I like coffee?"

He cleared his throat. "Well, I just know."

Hindi ko na sya kinulit dahil halata namang iniiwasan nya pa rin ako. I just thought about what should I asked next while sipping my coffee.

"Uhm, oo nga pala. Where's Tita Ross?" I asked when I noticed that he's alone.

He crossed his arms, bago sumandal sa sandalan ng sofa, di kalayuan sa akin.
"She's in Bicol right now. Magpapahinga muna raw sya don ng 3 weeks, she's with Ate Linda."

Napa-tango tango naman ako. "Your province is Bicol?"

He nodded and finally glanced on me. "Yeah. Ihahatid ko sana sila kaya hindi ako pumasok ngayon but, hindi sya pumayag. Mapapagod lang daw ako dahil sobrang layo," napapailing na sagot nya.

I put the cup on the top of the coffee table. "They will be just fine."

Tipid syang ngumiti. "Yes. Thank you."

Ilang minuto pa ay wala na kaming imikan, it's awkward. I can't just complain or confront him about him, avoiding me. It's not that it's easy to do so. Pero, kailangan ko ng explanation! I-I think deserve ko namang malaman kung may mali ba o wala, hindi ba? I still need to hear it from him, through his mouth.

"Sorry . . ."

We both look at each other nang sabay naming sabihin yun. Natawa sya nang mahina at sumandal ulit sa sofa. He then tilt his head to the side to see me. We're like two rulers away to each other.

"Hey, I'm the one who should be sorry here. Sorry, Alliyah," he said, sincerely.

"Sorry din. Red told me everything, wag ka sanang magalit sa kanya. I just really want to know," I also apologized and stared back to him.

He shook his head lightly and took a deep breath. "Do you hate me?" he asked, not looking this time.

"No," I answered, not hesitating.

Natahimik ulit kaming dalawa but, this time it's not awkward at all. It's all peaceful and comfortable. We will just steal each other glance then will immediately avoid when we caught each other staring. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ba parang kiniliti ang puso ko, na kahit ang mga balahibo ko ay nagtatayuan dahil sa kuryenteng hindi ko alam kung saan galing.
