Always wear mask and practice social distancing!!

Tumakbo na siya papasok sa katapat kong pinto pagkasabi niya noon.

Loren.

The reason why I ran out of the car after kissing him. The reason why I had to put an end on the feelings in my heart. The reason why we missed the five months of our lives which could have turned into the most amazing months of my life.

He is a boy?

I thought Loren is a girl that's why I assumed things!

Hindi na ako nakatulog pagkatapos noon. Noong medyo maliwanag na sa labas ay bumaba na ako para magjogging. Naramdaman ko na nagvibrate ang phone ko.

"Kuya,"

"Hey, Kylie. I heard you're back. I haven't seen you for months and I will leave the Philippines in a week. Can we meet?"

"Aalis ka na Kuya?" hindi ko maiwasan ang lungkot. He has been good to me afterall. He even offered to buy me a house and a car but I declined it because I want to acquire things because of my hardwork.

"Yes. The gallery is not doing good during my stay here so I decided to go back,"

"Will you stay there for good?"

"I don't know."

I ended the call after. I badly want to take the day off today because I want to spend this day with Kuya but I can't because the station needs me.

We agreed to meet at Indira's resraurant.

"Kylie!" niyakap niya agad ako noong makita niya ako.

"Uy may kasama ka pala," sabi niya tapos kumindat.

"He is my brother. Kuya this is Indira, my best friend," pagpapakilala ko sa kanya.

"Oh hello, I'm Lee Zandro." then he offered a handshake.

"Ay parang lizard yung name," bulong niya sa akin tapos tinanggap niya yung handshake ni Kuya.

"Sorry taken na ako," Indira said as she went inside the kitchen area. Nakita ko naman na naguguluhan si Kuya dahil sa kanya.

"Ano raw sabi niya?" tanong ni Kuya na nakakunot ang noo.

"Huwag mo na lang isipin, ganun talaga si Indira," sagot ko.

Naalala ko bigla ang tungkol kay Andrei. I still have no plans on how I will tell her. I saw how happy she is and I don't want to spoil that. As long as Andrei is not hurting her physically, I'm okay with it. But if it did happen, I won't be able to forgive myself because I could have saved her if only I told her.

"What are you thinking?" Kuya asked when the food was served pero hindi ko pa rin ginagalaw.

"None, so are you leaving for good?"

"I still don't know. But if you need me by your side, I'd book a ticket right away, sister." he said smiling at me. He really looked like my dad.

"Thank you, Kuya. I want to spend this day with you but I can't because of work. 9 am yung pasok ko eh,"

"It's okay. You can go to Spain if you want. I swear Madrid is so instagram- worthy," then he showed me pictures of Madrid where he lives. He owns an art gallery there.

"Some other time, kapag nakaipon na ako." Naubos ko halos lahat ng ipon ko noong nagtravel ako. I refuse to accept money from my parents because I'm already a grown- up and I don't want to depend on them financially.

"Are you sure you don't want me to buy you a car?"

"Yes, Kuya. I want to buy a car with my own money."

"Okay," he nodded and smiled. After eating, inihatid niya ako sa bahay.

"Are you alright with living here sister? You are used to a big house," he said. Studio type yung apartment ko kaya maliit lang talaga. Isa rin lang naman ang kwarto. Ako lang naman ang titira eh.

"Yeah, I want to buy a house kapag nakaipon na ako,"

"If that's what you want then I'd gladly support you,"

"Thank you," then he pat my head. He got his phone from his pocket.

"Picture tayo." he said then he arm- locked me while he takes the picture. After that, umuwi na siya. Magkita na lang daw ulit kami kapag paalis na siya.

"Sana all," Kean said as he entered his apartment. Magjogging siguro siya dahil pawis na pawis siya eh.

Ano namang sana all doon?

Naligo na ako at nagbihis pagkatapos. Pagkalabas ko ay nakita ko siya na naghihintay na sa may pinto ko.

"Ang tagal, kung ano ano pa kasing ginagawa pagkaumaga," sabi niya tapos nauna ng maglakad.

What the hell is his problem?

The ride was silent. Hindi siya nagsasalita kaya hindi rin ako nagsasalita. Then I remembered something.

"Nanliligaw ka na diba?" napatingin siya sa akin tapos bumaling agad siya sa unahan. Kitang- kita ko kung paano siya nagpipigil ng tawa.

"Siguro, ewan, baka," sabi niya na nakakunot pa ang noo.

"What's your problem?"

"Tanong mo sa kasama mo kaninang umaga,"

Kay Kuya? Bakit ko naman itatanong kay Kuya? Pero dahil sabi niya ay itanong ko raw sa kasama ko kaninang umaga, kinuha ko yung phone ko para tawagan si Kuya.

"Oh sino namang tatawagan mo?" tanong niya na nakakunot pa rin ang noo.

"Sabi mo kasi itanong ko doon sa kasama ko kaninang umaga,"

"Tatawagan mo nga?"

"Oo, sabi mo eh,"

I pressed the call button as I saw him removing the buckles of his seatbelt tapos unti- unti siyang lumapit sa akin para makinig doon sa tawag.

"Hello, sister. Why did you call?" namilog ang mata niya then he got my phone on my hand at agad na pinatay yung tawag.

"Why did you end the call? I was about to ask him why are you mad at me," sabi ko na medyo naiirita.

"Hala Kuya mo iyon?" he said apologetically.

"Yeah, why? what did you think?"

"Akala ko ano eh,"

"Ano?"

"Wala,"

Nandoon pa rin kami sa loob ng sasakyan. Seconds passed and none of us talked. Tumingin siya sa akin kaya tumingin din ako sa kanya.

Unti- unti siyang lumapit while staring at my lips. He held my chin and when our lips are only a centimeter apart, I moved my head to the side and whispered to his left ear.

"Label muna bago kiss, Kean." then I left him inside the car as I walked inside the elevator.
