Danelle tried to got up from bed. The scent of the room was different from hers and she knew, she’s at Xia’s place. She went to the bathroom and washed herself and using her personal tootbrush, she brushed her teeth. She was still holding her head because it was aching, she has hangover and she needs to get home.

“Argh! I badly want to rest.” She groaned as she took the stair down

Biglang napaatras si Danelle matapos makita ang lalaking nakaupo sa sofa. Nakabuka ang mga hita nito at nakapatong ang mga siko habang magkasiklop ang dalawang kamay at bahagyang nakayuko. Nakatingin ito sa kanya ngayon kaya naman umawang ang labi niya. Umagang umaga'y ang lalaki ang nakikita niya.

Tumayo si Pion. “Good morning. Masakit pa ba ang ulo mo?”

Umatras na naman siya nang naglakad ito palapit sa kanya ngunit nang matamaan ng likod ng paa niya ang isang baiting ng hagdan ay mabilis din siyang tumigil.

“A-anong ginagawa mo dito?”

“Oh! Gising kana pala. Kanina pa rito si Captain, hinihintay ka niyang magising.” Wika ng kaibigan niyang kadarating lamang at may bitbit na tray

“What? Bakit mo siya pinapasok? I told you not to tell him.” inis na sabi niya

“So you don’t remember anything?”

Lumingon si Danelle sa lalaking nasa harap niya. Salubong ang kilay na tiningnan niya ito. “Ano naman ang aalalahanin ko aber? Umalis ka nga diyan, uuwi na ako.” Tiningnan naman niya si Xia

“Uuwi na muna ako, mag-usap nalang tayo sa susunod. Thanks by the way, and congrats to you and architect.” She kissed her cheek and went off

She went outside until she reached for the door of her car but someone stopped her. Mataray niya itong tiningnan.

“What?”

Pion licked his lips, “I’ll wait until you remember what you blurted out last night. And if you still have that issue on the picture, I did not kissed her. I’m not at fault.”

“Bakit ka nagpapaliwanag? Hindi ko naman hinihingi.” She noticed her jaw moved.

“Really? What were you doing the last week? Did you looked for me?”

She raised her eyebrow and crossed her arms. “Hindi. Bakit naman kita hahanapin? Wala naman akong business sayo. And why are you explaining about the kiss, it wasn’t a big deal. It’s not like I am your girlfriend and you can explain to me whatever you felt guilty about.”

“Then okay lang na makipaghalikan ako sa iba? Okay lang na hindi ako magtext sayo? Okay lang na hindi ako magparamdam sayo? Okay lang na wala na tayong pakialamanan? Is that what you want?”

Umiwas ng tingin si Danelle. Ibinaba niya ang kamay niya saka hinarap ang kotse saka binuksan ang pinto niyon.

“Fuck. Answer me.”

She stopped and turned to the man. “Kung sabihin kong oo, gagawin mo?”

Pion sighed, “Your answer is yes, huh? Alright.” Tumalikod ito sa kanya at parang dinurog ang puso ni Danelle. Nakaalis ang sasakyan nito habang siya ay nasa labas pa rin at hindi magawang pumasok sa sasakyan. Sinasabi ng puso niyang habulin ang lalaki at bawiin ang sinabi ngunit pinipigilan naman siya ng kanyang isip.

Hanggang makauwi si Danelle ay tulala siya. Pumasok na siya sa kwarto nang hindi na naman maabutan ang ina. She slept again for hours and woke up at twelve in the afternoon. As she felt hunger, she went down to the kitchen and ate something that filled her stomach.
