He left to pursue his dream. She tried to stop him but ended up letting him go. The raw familiar feeling she felt when she heard his voice over the phone. That's when inflamed feelings started to rise again.

Irene:
You don't sound sincere
I jumped and my phone almost fell when I saw his number on my screen. My heart started to pound. I took a deep breath before answering his call.
"Hello?" he greeted in his bedroom voice.
I composed myself. Baka mahalata niya na kabado ako! "Hi..."
"I am sorry."
"Really? O baka napipilitan ka lang."
"That's why I called so you'll know I'm sincere."
"Pero bakit hindi ko nararamdaman?"
"Because you're cold-hearted!"
"Excuse me! No, I'm not! Mas cold ka nga sa 'kin."
He scoffed. Gosh! His voice sounds so sexy over the phone. I can imagine him on his bed, staring at the ceiling biting his lower lip to stop smiling. Oh my goodness! Irene, ano ba yang mga iniisip mo?! My face heated.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
Kinagat ko ang aking pang ibabang labi. "Hmm... Talking with you?"
He chuckled. Pakiramdam ko mapupunit na ang labi ko sa tindi ng kagat ko.
"Akala ko si Axel ang tumawag sa 'kin. Yun pala, ikaw."
"Were you disappointed?"
"To be honest, yes..."
"Ah okay... Ibaba ko na para magkachat na kayo ni Axel." he said coldly. What did I do wrong now?
"Teka lang!" but it was too late. He already ended the call. Umiling nalang ako. I closed my eyes and after a couple of minutes my phone beeped again. Agad ko itong tinignan.
Axel:
Good evening! Kumain ka na?
Kumusta ang araw mo?
Ngumiti ako bago nagtype ng aking reply. That went on until summer. Gabi-gabi kaming magkachat o tawag ni Axel. Sometimes, after school or weekends we'd go on a date at kapag sinusundo niya naman ako sa silid panay ang tukso nila Farrah sa 'min. Tumawa lamang ako sakanila.
Hindi na rin kami naguusap ni Ral simula nun. If we see each other in the hallway, we'd just ignore each other unless kasama niya ang dalawa.
Huminga ako ng malalim. I checked my phone again. Malapit na ang pasukan at gusto kong sulitin ang araw kaya nag aya akong lumabas kay Axel. He agreed but it's been two hours since our call time. Ngunit wala pa siya. Kahit anino niya, wala.
Nandito ako ngayon sa Pan De Pugon. The interior of the place was very artsy and aesthetic but I can't appreciate that right now. Umiinom ako sa aking milk tea nang narinig kong bumukas ang pintuan. My eyes immediately flew to the door.
