Chapter Seventeen: family reunion (truth)

Mayra's POV
"Mayra, is it okay if I asked you something?" Tita Friar asked as we both got into the car and the driver drove us to Papa's company.

I nodded. "Yes po, Tita," I answered.

"Do you, somehow, met a boy named Mare?" she asked.

I frowned. "I have a classmate named Mare Throver, Tita. He claimed himself as my brother but I thought he was just mistaking me as his sister. Why po, Tita?"

She smiled with that knowing look in her eyes. I know she's hiding something that's why she asked that question.

"Tita, are you hiding something from me?" I asked her straight away. My eyes turned into slits. "Did you know something I don't know?"

Tita Friar is the closest auntie I've ever been talk to. She was like my first mother because unlike my mother, Olivia, she is the kindest person I knew and a person I could really trust with.

She smiled widely at me. Her eyes smiled too but it's just hiding something.

"Do you know Mare by any chance, May?" she asked me.

I frowned. That question doesn't make sense. "As a classmate and the stranger I used to met in the store. Why, Tita?"

"Mare Throver has a special connection to you, May-May."

I frowned. "Special connection? What do you mean, Tita?"

"That's for you to figure out, May, and that's for me to just secretly know," she said and crossed her legs as she averted her gaze outside the car's window.

She left me confused. What the hell she is saying?

Tita never left me confused, ever. This is the first time and I'm struck by her. 

This is the first time she hasn't answer my question straight away and just dodging my curiosity.

My mind flew through the window as I keep thinking on what she said.

Mare has a special connection to me? That Mare boy in my school?

Really?

What is that special connection he have with me? Do I really have a special connection with him?

This really gives me a very bad headache. Tita Fri's words is just stuck in my mind.

What's so special about connections anyway?

Maybe he has some connections with me in the past or something.

Mare's POV
I was stunned for a moment as I felt something heavy on my head. My eyes closed automatically as I tried to hold on the pain.

"Mare, are you alright?" Sakura asked and after that, the pain is gone.

I frowned in confusion as I looked at Sakura. Her eyebrows were furrowed in confusion and her eyes are glistening in worry.

I sighed. "I just got a little headache for a second," I told her and go back to what we are conversing. "Mayra seems to be in deep thoughts by now because of our Tita Friar."

Sakura frowned. "Huh? What are you talking about, Mare?"

My head pangs in realization as I recall the things I said. I looked down and scratched my nape awkwardly. "Well, erm... Sakura, umm... What I said, umm..."
