"Sync?" I uttered.

"I'm sorry. I know, I looked stupid now." he chuckles slightly.

I stared at him, confused. He covered his face by his hands. I wanted to say something but nothing came out.

Magsasalita na sana siya pero bigla ding napatigil dahil may tumawag sa kanya. Sabay kaming napalingon kay Jazz na naglalakad papalapit sa amin. She was smiling widely at Sync.

"What are guys doing here? The party is over." she looked at Sync, and then to me.

"Hinahanap ka ni Hanna, Ailey." sabi niya, tumango lang ako.

Before I walked away at them, I smiled at him. I want him to know that I'm not mad at him nor I can't be. No hard feelings at all, when I saw him, I can't feel the angry anymore.

"Hey, Ailey! Where have you been?!" salubong na sigaw ni Hanna sakin.

"Nagpahangin lang ako." I answered.

"Hindi mo man lang nakitang nagtwerk si Hanna sa dance floor." tawang sambit ni Eon.

"You can't believe it. Jiro was standing there while he's staring furious at Hanna." sabi ni Karen.

Nakitawa na din ako kasi naiimagine ko ang mga sinasabi nila. After our conversation, nagsibalikan na din kami sa mga hotel rooms namin. Nag-quick bath lang ako at nag-night skin care dahil madaling araw na, it's 2 am. Pinatuyo ko lang ang buhok ko bago matulog at ganoon din si Hanna.

-10 AM @CAFE BEAN-

"How dare that Drake Panillon told you like that? He must be crazy, sis." Eon mumbles while sipping her favorite Watermelon milktea.

"Duh, alam naman nating obsessed yun kay Ailey. But you know, he's a totally a fuckboy." Karen said, rolled her eyes at us.

"And I hated him." dagdag pa niya at saka nagkibit-balikat.

"Sus, napakabitter mo naman. Hindi mo lang talaga tanggap na hanggang fling ka lang niya." Hanna teased her.

"Hoy. FYI, siya nga 'tong gustong-gusto akong maging kafling niya kahit ayoko naman talaga. Duh, that freaks me out, Hanna." Karen point a middle finger at Hanna.

"Why are you so defensive, huh?" Hanna grinned.

"Shut the fuck up, Hanna. I'll tell your man that you flirted Sun Asuncion, the successful businessman in PH." Karen smirked at Hanna after she said that lines.

"How dare you to blackmail me, Karen Silva?" Hanna raised her brows at her.

"Hey, girls stop that." awat naman ni Eon.

Napabuntong-hininga nalang ako habang pinapanuod ko silang nagbabangayang dalawa. Ang usapan namin ay tungkol lang naman kagabi. Why is it that pati privacy nilang dalawa nadawit dito?

"Talk to my precious middle finger, Hanna." Karen said and pointing her middle finger at Hanna.

"Hoy, ang bastos mo talaga Karen kahit kailan. Nagmana ka talaga sa nanay mo dancer sa club." sabi ni Hanna.

"Girls stop na. Baka magsabunutan lang kayo dito. Marami nang mga tao ang nakatingin satin." I said, napatingin din silang tatlo sa paligid namin.

And then, all the people here in Cafe Bean are staring at us. Some of them have mad expression, some of them are confused.

"Ito kasing mayamang mayabang na 'to grabe makapagsalita." Karen murmured.

"Naririnig kita." Hanna give Karen a death glare.

After the quarrel, bumalik na kami sa hotel room namin. This is the last day of our reunion, for today's schedule, magtatake pictures lang kami sa dagat pagdating ng hapon. Maganda kasi ang view paglumubog na an araw e.

"Wow. It's too beautiful." puri ni Karen sa palubog na araw.

"Hey, Ailey. Magpose ka at kunan kita ng picture. Hurry up!" utos sakin ni Hanna.

Wala naman akong magawa kundi sundin ang inuutos niya sa akin. Naglakad ako at pumuwesto na.

"What should I do now?" I asked Hanna.

"Any pose basta magmukha kang sexy. Well, sexy ka naman sa bikini mo ngayon but try another pose that will look you more seductive." Hanna said, my brows furrowed.

Am I gonna do it? Seductive?

"Bit you lower lip. Hurry up!" she commanded.

"What?!" I exclaimed.

"Just do it." she said, I have no choice but to do it.

I did what she told me. And it's so awkward, like why am I doing this shit?

"Yan! Another pose!" she shouted.

Some people are looking at me now. Like, hindi naman ako celebrity para tingnan nila. Meron pang grupo ng mga lalaki na kanina pa sumisipol sa akin at ang mga tinginan nila ay sobrang lagkit.

"So sexy!" sigaw pa ni Hanna.

Pagkatapos nun, she showed me the pictures.

"Ako ba 'to?" I asked.

I can't believe it. Ang sexy ko kasi, parang model ako sa calendar.

Calendar girl ka sis?

"Kung naging lalaki lang ako baka nakama na kita." asar ni Hanna sa akin.

"Eww." hinampas ko siya sa balikat niya.

"Just kidding." she fake a cough.

Hanna force me to post it on Instagram. And I did. Wala naman akong magawa dahil pinipilit niya ako. She's doing this para magkaroon na daw ako ng boyfriend. And as if I cared?

"Wow. 4 minutes palang pero may 1k likes kana? How to be you po?" sabi ni Hanna at hinampas ang balikat ko.

"Marami lang yan kasi nakabikini ako." katotohanan kong sabi.

Tumawa lang siya bilang tugon. Mga bandang 8 PM, nagyaya si Hail nang inuman sa may RK Bar dito lang din sa may Resort. Ayaw ko sanang sumama but Jiro wants me to be there.

"Where is Sync and Jazz?" tanong ni Hail pagkadating namin sa RK Bar.

"Dude, mukha ba kaming hanapan ng nawawalang tao?" pagbara ni Clyde kay Hail.

"I thought so." pagtaray na tugon ni Hail.

"Let's start." Jiro said.

Nasa iisang couch lang kaming lahat. Katabi ko si Hanna at nasa pinakadulo ako. Which means, nasa pinakasulok ako at malayo sa pintuan. I thought it was an awkward situation na andito ako pero hindi. We laughed, nagkwentuhan din kami at nagpick up lines pa si Hail sa girlfriend niya.

"Oh, andito na pala ang master natin." Rain shrugged, looking at Sync and Jazz na kakapasok lang.

"I'm sorry. Nagkaproblema lang." Sync mouthed.

"It's okay, dude." Jiro said.

It caught me off-guard when I met his eyes. It was full of desire and he gave me an apologized smile at saka nag-iwas ng tingin. Napaiwas na din ako nang maramdaman kong may nakatingin sakin at tama nga ako, Jazz was staring at me, madly.

"Hey, are you okay?" napalingon ako kay Hanna nang tanungin niya ako.

"Yeah. I am fine." I gave her a small smile, assuring her that I'm okay.

"Tell me the truth, Ailey." she knows when I'm lying.

"I'm not okay." I heaved a sigh.

The truth is, I am not settled yet. I don't know but there is something wrong with me that I can't tell.
