Sumama lang muna ako kay Jason matapos naming manood ng sine. We never mentioned Zero to our friends. We just chose not to mention him.

Zero and Jied are together. Confirmed na 'yon and I'm happy for them.

And as for me and Jason, we kept our relationship like it was before he told me he loved me. 'Yan ang request niya, e. My heart's not closed. Sadyang hindi pa ako ready magmahal ngayon. I still need time.

"Sa'n kaya siya nag-aaral?" tanong ko kay Jason.

He glanced at me. "Bakit?"

"Wala. Curious lang kasi umalis siya without a trace. Hindi man lang niya sinabi kina Ashe kung saang school na siya nag-transfer."

He sighed. "Hayaan mo nalang siya. Baka ayaw lang talaga niyang malaman ninyo kung anong school ang pinasukan niya."

"Yeah... So! Anong gagawin natin sa bahay niyo?" I immediately changed the topic. Enough of Zero. May Jied na siya.

He looked at me and grinned. "Ipapakilala kita sa kambal ko."

Nanlaki naman yung mga mata ko. May kambal siya?! Ba't ngayon ko lang nalaman?! Oh gosh! Matagal na kaming magkaibigan ni Jason 'tapos ngayon ko lang nalaman na may kambal siya!

"What?! Ba't ngayon mo lang sinabi sa 'kin 'to?"

He shrugged. "Couldn't find the right time and my twin's annoying."

Huminto na din yung taxi sa tapat ng bahay nila. Nauna ako bumaba at narinig ko pang tumawa si Jason.

Excited akong makita ang kambal niya!

"Girl or boy?" I asked.

"Secret. Pumasok ka nalang sa bahay para malaman mo. Let's just hope na nasa loob siya. Baka kasi naglakwatsa ang batang 'yon." he said, rubbing his nape.

"Tara, tara, tara!" nauna akong pumasok sa gate nila. "Anong pang hinihintay mo?" tanong ko nang hindi pa siya pumapasok.

"Para kang baliw diyan! Ngingiti-ngiti mag-isa!"

He shook his head and walked towards me. He held my hand and I was about to yank it away when he held it tighter.

He smiled at me and said, "Just... let me hold your hand, Niui."

Hindi ko alam kung bakit hinayaan ko lang siya. It felt comfortable-my hand in his. Pero hindi 'to matatapatan ang comfort na nararamdaman ko with-oh fuck. I should stop comparing.

"Problem?" he asked.

"None. Ba't mo naitanong?"

"You're silent. Is it because of this?" he raised our entwined hands. "If so, then-"

"No!" sigaw ko. "I mean, wala naman talaga akong problema, Jace. Ikaw lang ang naga-assume na meron, e."

"Assume?" we stopped walking and he faced me. His face had a soft expression that girls would melt for. "The last thing I want to know right is that you have a problem and that you're hurting badly."

I tightened my hold on his and gave him a smile. "'Wag ka nang mag-alala, Jason. I don't have any problems and I assure you that I've already moved on."

The silence occupied us both and the wind started to blow from the west. I started to feel cold and I couldn't stop myself from shivering. Jason seemed to notice it.
