Iñigo's PoV

I hate being close to someone else. There are many reasons to avoid those people. First of all they will only use you for their own sake, second one they will hurt you, then they will leave you with tears running down to your face. Being close to someone will ba a factor of being vulnerable. Books is enough for me. Someone told me that friends are just excess baggage na makakadagdag pa sa bigat ng mga dindala mo. You will only carry those mess. So why those 'friends' occur?

Few days ago no years na pala. When I started to enter that school a dumb lady always following me, even going home. She's my neighbor so I don't have a choice but to be with her everyday. I hate hiding in a bush para lang makawala sa isang tao, my time was precious enough to waste for hiding. Plus, the thing that her company always bugging me, especially that Mae...isama mo pa yung mahangin na Kiefer. Lee was good along coz he's not talking to me.

I checked out my phone coz someone texted me. Unknown number.

Message received from 09*********.

'Crush pa rin kita kahit aalis na kami! Babalik ako para gustuhin mo na ako.'

I know it's her...but where did she get my number? Tss...

I shut down my phone, I don't want anyone to cross my quiet life. I turn on our T.V. to entertain myself. I don't really watch T.V. but there's no assignment so I should learn how to entertain myself this way. 3 hours passed and I managed to entertain myself by watching some stuffs.

'Breaking news...'

"A plane crashed at the pacific ocean. Wala pa ring nakikitang biktima ang mga rescuer, yan muna ang balita sa ngayon...magandang gabi!"

I open my phone and there's new messages, 3 hours ago.

'Iñigo promise me di ka hahanap ng iba.'

'First time kong sumakay ng plane, dadaan daw kami ng pacific ocean sabi ni Dad.'

'I'm going back para sayo...yiehhhh!!!'

'By the way si Kei pala 'to.'

'Sleep well'

"Shit!" I cursed out of nowhere.

I opened my laptop and search for the plane crash that happened hour ago.

I scroll down and read everything about what happened on that plane crash.

List of victims. Dead on arrival.

'Raul Hernan
Cliff Reyes
Clowe Mir
Celline Davies
Lorenz Davies
Keilly Davies'

'Keilly Davies...Keilly Davies...Keill Davies...Keilly Davies...' No! that's not true! Then the tears suddenly drop from my eyes...Next thing I lay down in my bed and can't help myself but to cry.

A memory cameback...the first time I saw her.

"Iñigo crush kita!"

"Hindi kita gusto."

"Ah...hmmm edi gagawa ako ng paraan!"

"Tss!"

'WHAT A LIE IÑIGO!'

I know when the first time I saw her...there's something. That explained why I get jealous when Kei is with Kiefer.

'Lying is not good. Is it too late?'

I grabbed my phone then replay her voice clips singing. She send it to me years ago...second time we met.

'Wise men say

Only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love.   with you

Shall I stay?

Would it be a sin

If I can't help falling in love with you?'

There are tears running again down my face.

When I read her name on the victim list...it keeps running through my mind. If I can't help falling in love with you Kei...why did you leave me?

I stood up then I headed to Kiefer's place.

"Kiefer!!!" I shouted...

"Kiefer!!!" Please...sumagot ka!

"Kiefer!!!"

"Kakaalis niya lang, may dalang mga bagahe." A middle age lady came up.

"Ahmmm...where did he go?"

"Di ko alam hijo...nagmamadali siyang umalis." I nodded.

Mae's place! I need to ask her!

I traveled all along from Kiefer's place to Mae's place. I tried to hold my eagerness and my emotion, but everytime I remember what happened to her, I just can't help but to let my tears drop.

I arrived here in Mae's place. It's already 12 midnight.

"Mae?" It's almost a whisper. Then rain droplets touched my skin, now its raining. Pati ang panahon sumasabay sa mga luha ko.

"Mae?" Now it's a whisper...I hope she hear me.

"Iñigo?" I looked up to her...

"Kei?" Then suddenly I hugged her.

"No, it's me Mae."

"Let me hug you please. I'm begging you, don't leave me." I hugged her more tight.

"Iñigo, I heard what happened to her. Actually galing ako kila Kiefer at sa place mo...andito ka lang pala sa tapat ng bahay namin." Kumawala ako sa yakap ko sa kanya. At muling tumalikod, naglakad papalayo.

"Wait! I know that you're affected by what happened to her...but please can you be strong for her?" I looked back to her then let my tears drop, once again.

"Is she's coming back?" Out of nowhere, I asked that question...isn't it obvious Iñigo...she's not coming back!

I turned my back then I let feet walk where ever it will go. Then I noticed myself standing in front of their house.

"Kei!" I shouted at their gate. I know she will not answer but...I'm just hoping.

"Kei!" It's more louder. Then the rain becomes storm.

I let myself sit at front of their gate. Basang basa na ako but, I can managed to wait until she comes back. My phone rang...I grabbed it quickly. I'm hoping that it's Kei.

Mom calling...

"Yes mom?" I sounded like I'm crying. Don't fool yourself Iñigo...your crying for hour.

"Are you crying?" Mom, knows me well.

"No, mom...I'm just tired. It's already 5 in the morning...kakatapos ko lang ng mga paper works."

"I know what happened to her. Just please take care yourself I will go there once na matapos ang transaction ng Dad mo...ok?" I know she's worrying about my situation but I can't help myself either.

"Yes mom." 'Di ko alam pero kusa kong pinatay ang tawag.

I look back again to their house and let myself lead me to my house.

'I will wait for you, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it will be. Just come back to me Kei.'
