"She's not here Kief. Nagmamadali kaninang umalis. May problem ba kayo?", Den said.

I went to Mika's dorm after two days of not seeing each other. It's quite normal for us, minsan nga 5 days pa coz of volleyball season. But this one is different. Hindi na nga nagkita, di pa naguusap. We had a fight. Actually, a big fight. And I have no idea how we'll fix this. One thing is sure, it's my fault.

"Ah, thanks Den. Medyo nagkagalit lang ng onti. Pero ayusin naman.", I answered.

"Okay. Pagusapan niyo ha. Si Kiefer talaga. Wag kasi aawayin pag volleyball season.", she added.

Flashback

Mika

"What's with you? Magkasama tayo, but you won't say anything.", I said while he's driving.

"Nothing", he answered.

"I know you. Spill it. I'm ready to listen."

"Really?", he answered in sarcasm

"Ooh, what's with that tone? Ako ba? Did I do something wrong?"

"I told you. It's nothing. And if you think it's about you, wala ka din namang magagawa."

I was shocked with what he just said. Kiefer has never talked to me like this. Never. Ngayon lang talaga. Pero nainis na rin ako.

"Why are you talking to me like that? What the hell did I do? Stop the car and tell me.", I said in a loud voice.

"Iuuwi na lang kita."

"You know what, much better. Coz I don't wanna spend the rest of my time here wondering if ano ginawa kong mali."

Nag U-turn siya. Obviously pabalik na ng dorm. Nobody's talking. Nanginginig na rin ako sa inis. Nasa dorm na kami. I asked him one last time before ako bumaba.

"Are you really sure that you don't want to talk this one out?", I asked.

"I said No, didn't you hear me earlier?"

"You know, that better be something big. Coz the way you're treating me right now, mukhang ang laki ng galit mo. And fine, if you don't want to tell me. Bahala ka."

Bumaba na ako ng car. Sa sobrang inis, napalakas pa pagsara ko. Then lumabas din siya. He took a grip of my left arm at hinila ako.

"Fine. You want to know?"

"Let go of my arm Kiefer", I shouted. Binitawan naman niya agad.

"Now tell me. Sino pinatay ko? Ba't ang laki ng galit mo?"

We were already shouting at each other. Buti na lang walang masyadong tao.

"Wala ka ba talagang clue? Manhid mo naman.", he said.

"Wow. Just because I can't make a guess kung bakit ka ganyan, you'll call me manhid na. The thing is, sabihin mo. I'm not a psychic goodness gracious."

"Sino umaaligid sayo?"

"Say whattt??", I asked surprisingly.

"Do I really have to repeat what I've just said?", he said.

"I mean, you're treating me this way coz of that? And I don't even know where it's coming from."

"Someone from la salle said it."

"There you go. Chismis. How could you? How could you, really? I can't believe we're fighting coz of that stupid chismis. Seriously? You're disappointing me. Ginaganito mo ako dahil lang sa narinig mo?"
