"Ma, Pa. Nasan na ba si Kuya?" irita kong tanong kila Mama't Papa.
Paalis kasi kami ngayon. Lilipat kami ng bahay nila Mama kasi malayo 'to sa school na pinapasukan namin ni Kuya kaya naman naisipan nila Mama na lumipat nalang ng bahay.
"Nandito na, panget." biglang singit ni Kuya kaya naman napa-irap ako.
Akala mo naman ako lang pangit sa'ming dalawa. Sakalin ko 'to eh.
"Tss. Tara na. Lakas mo mang-asar hindi ka naman sinagot ni Ate Josephine." pabalang kong sabi sa kanya.
"Aba. Ang yabang netong pangit-"
"Xavi. Ano ba 'yan? Mag tigil na at nang maka-alis na tayo." sabi ni Mama sa kanya kaya hindi ko napigilan ang sarili kong mapa-ngisi.
Nang makasakay sa kotse namin ay tahimik kolang na tinignan ang labas ng bintana. Nilabas ko ang earphones ko at ang cellphone tsaka sinalpak ang earphones sa tenga ko at shinuffle ang kanta.

Darlin' I, I can't explain
Where did we lose our way?
Girl it's drivin' me insane
And I know I just need one more chance
To prove my love to you
And if you come back to me
I'll guarantee
That I'll never let you go
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
Can somebody tell me how to get things backThe way they use to be?
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee
So many nights I dream of you
Holding my pillow tight
And I know I don't need to be alone, yeah
When I open up my eyes
To face reality
Every moment without you
It seems like eternity
I'm begging you, begging you come back to me
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they use to be?
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee
Baby, I'm sorry
Please forgive me for all the wrong I've done
Please come back home, girl
I know you put all your trust in me
