"As the sun set over the bustling city streets, the Sando Gang sat on their favorite rooftop hangout spot, laughing and joking as they always did. But their perfect friendship is put to the test when they encounter a girl from their past, a girl who...

Chris Larry Morrison Pov
Mahimbing akong natutulog ng may marinig akong isang mahinang katok. Pupungas-pungas pa ako at pilit minumulat ang mga inaantok ko pang mga mata. Kunot-noong tinignan ko ang orasan sa wall and it's 8:34 na. Bumalik ako sa pagkakasubsub sa unan at pilit bumabalik sa pagkakatulog.
Wala akong balak pumasok at dahil narin sa may hang-over ako, pagod ako at masakit pa ang ulo ko. Dahil sa nangyari sa pagitan namin ni Bender kagabi ay nagpakalasing ako. I am not a fool to not feel that, Bender was fell in love to Nathalie, but the thing is still messing with me.. why Nathalie is in the bar without telling me? And base on Bender's facial expressions when he saw us is confusing me. Are they.. dating?
"No, I am just malicious. There is nothing with them." Pagkukumbinsi ko sa sarili na walang namamagitan sa kanila. Kung meron man hindi ko mapapatawad si Bender.
"Chris Larry Morrison!"Pasinghal na tawag ni mommy at pagkompleto nito sa pangalan ko.
"What?" Walang gana kong tanong."I'm tired mom-"
"Tired of what, huh?"
Sinabing wala ako sa mood. Ano bang problema nito? Hayst. Tumalikod ako't ibinalot ang katawan sa kumot at nagbingi-bingihan.
Napaigting ako sa gulat. Binuhusan ako ni mommy ng malamig na tubig."Gosh!"
"Bumangon ka na diyan at baka mainit na, na tubig ang ibuhos ko sayo! Magmadali ka at may importantetayongbisita"banta nito.
Bumangon ako na mabigat sa loob. Ano pa ngang magagawa ko eh nabasa na ako specially my bed. Lumabas ng kwarto si mom.
Hindi naman ako ganoon katagal maligo kaya after 30 mins ay pababa na ako ng hagdan. Bumilog ang mga mata ko ng makita ko ang mag-amang Lee.
"What a big surprise!" Bati ko at ngumiti ng peke. I have no choice but to face them.
Pabagsak akong umupo sa couch at tumingin sa labas.
"Kumusta ka iho?"Panimula ni Senior Lee and he give me a bit of smile. Senior Lee is Hannie's father and my dad's busness partner in Morrison's company.
"Ito may hang over and feeling tired." I honestly directly said. Bumilog ang mga mata ni Dad dahil sa sinagot ko at alam kong hindi niya iyon nagustuhan.
"Larry, umayos ka hindi ka pinalaki naming bastos!" Pagtataas nito ng boses. Yung boses na daig pa yung nakamegaphone? Why men's voice was so loud. Tumahimik na lamang ako.
"Eh ano po bang maipaglilingkod namin sa inyo Senior Lee at naparito kayo ng ganitokaaga?" Mahilig na tanong ni mom.
"Frankly, I don't want your son. Besides for his being so unrespectful to me not for because we're business partner, but as an old man." Seryosong saad nito na ikinakunot ng noo ng parents ko.
"What do you mean?" Naguguluhang tanong ni dad.
"My daughter is pregnant."
"And you are here because of my son?.. I mean, do you think that my son is the one who's responsible for this?"
"Exactly," Pagsang-ayon nito. "..and besides I don't want Hanniegive birth without her future husband by her side." Patuloy nito.
I frown and stare to the old man. "Are you kidding me? If I know, your daughter and I has no relationship. So how can I be the one who's responsible for this?"
Mr. Lee stand, chuckle. "We know that my daughter obsessed with you. But I I don't think that she is like the one you think."
My dad face Mr. Lee and look seriously. "Senior, how can we sure that, my son is the one who's responsible for this,"
"I know what you mean." He replied. "But I can't wait for it. I want to make sure that your son will never scape." Paninigurado nito.
Pabagsak kong inilapag ang kamay sa lamesa. "Seriously? I will never scape because even me wants to know the result."
Mr. Lee turn and look to her daughter a second and back to me.
"How many times do I need to tell you Larry? It's our baby!" Singhal ni Hannie sa akin.
"If I, then I will wait for the result and you too and I'd like to say that I have a girlfriend so it is very impossible to happen." ngumiti ako ng matipid.
Kinuyom ni Hannie ang kamay at tumitig s akin ng matalim. "How could you do this me?" Madiing sambit niya.
Nagkibit balikat ako. "If you two done, then you can go. It is my final decision and no one can change it."
Hindi kumilos ang mga ito kaya nagpasya na akong tumalikod.
"I warn you Larry, every time there is someone trying to ruin our family members will regret it." Banta nito.
I turned and face him. "Did I? At first place you came here early in the morning and telling me that I need to get married to your daughter even we don't have any idea if I am the one who's responsible for that." I bend at inilapit ang bibig sa tenga nya. "... So who is the one ruining to us?"
Namumula si Mr. Lee sa galit. Sinusubukan niya itong pigilan.
"How dare you?!"
"I dare you." Nang-aasar kong sabi sa kanya.
He smirked. "You don't know me Larry. Well if that so, your wish is my command. Let's go Hannie." Pagyayayâ nito sa dispiradang anak.
"How could you do this to them?" Panimula ni dad na kanina pa tahimik.
"What? I am not fool to get married with her desperate daughter." Sa galit ni dad ay sinuntok ako. Suntok ng galit at panghihinayang.
"Whether you want it or not you have to marry her daughter."
"What?"
"I'm sorry Larry, I think you need to know it." Seryosong sabi ni mom na nagpakaba sa akin.
