"There's a party at Niel's house. You comin', mate?"

Isinara ko ang laptop at tinaggal ang earphones sa tainga ko. I stood up and gathered all of my things. I am not interested in any party. I won't come.

"Nah.. I have a lot of works to do tonight."

Dustin tapped my shoulders and tried to take my bag away. Pabiro ko siyang siniko saka isinukbit ang bag ko sa balikat ko.

"Chill out, Ayden! Finals is still a month away!"

I shook my head and started walking away. "I'm not interested, Annicka."

Dustin followed me and blocked my way. I sighed and pushed him away. Mahina akong tumawa saka nagpatuloy maglakad palayo.

"You wouldn't want to miss out a party with a lot of hot girls.." he convinced. "I swear, Ayden. Let's have some fun tonight!"

"Your girlfriend is in the Philippines! She won't know!"

If Anastasia is one of those hot girls, then I will come for sure. Ngunit imposibleng makita ko siya rito. She won't come here in Australia because she knows I am here. She hates me to bits.

"I really can't, buddy. Enjoy the party, I'm gonna go home now."

I lied when I said I have a lot of things to do. Ang gagawin ko lang naman ngayon ay isipin kung anong kumusta siya at anong ginawa niya sa mga oras na ito. O kung galit pa ba siya sa akin at mayroon ng iba. Is her eyes still expressive just like before? Is her hair still long just like it use to be?

Ngunit ang isang pinakamalaking tanong sa isip ko ay iisa lamang. Will she ever forgive me? Kahit na sabihin kong hindi ko ginusto ang nangyari at wala akong kinalaman, maniniwala kaya siya sa akin? Kung bumalik ako ngayon mismo at magmakaawa sa kaniyang bumalik sa akin, will she give me a chance?

If she knew that I am still so in love with her after all these years, will she take me back? Pagbibigyan niya kaya ako kahit na hindi ko siya mabigyan ng rason kung bakit nangyari ang gabing iyon?

Why am I even asking? Of course, she won't. She deserve answers. At ang mga sagot na iyon ay hindi ko kayang ibigay sa kaniya. Because I know it will tear her to pieces if she knew who was behind all these.

I know Anastasia more than anyone else. Alam ko kung gaano siya nasasabik sa kaniyang mga magulang gaya ko. She did everything she could to feel the love of her parents. Kahit hindi niya sabihin sa akin ay alam kong nasasaktan siya sa sitwasyong wala siyang kontrol.

"Kuya."

Kumunot ang noo ko. "Why'd you call? I don't want to talk to you."

Atlas is originally Anastasia's fiancé. Hindi ko alam kung tumatawag ito sa akin para mang-asar ngunit wala na akong pakialam do'n. Their engagement is called off but I am still pissed at him.

"Bibitiwan na ni kuya ang VPHI. Are you coming home?"

"Why are you asking? Hindi ako uuwi para sa kompaniya."

Akmang ibababa ko na ang tawag nang magsalita siyang muli.

"Elianna is alive. Kuya found her. Umuwi ka na pagtapos ng graduation."

I frowned with what he said. Iris Lopez is alive? How come that she's alive? She died three years ago!

"Not funny. Ibababa ko na."
