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.

Paglabas ko ng bahay napatalon ako nang makita si Ral. He waved and smiled brightly like the morning sun. I waved back and ran towards him.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito?"
"Wala lang..."
"Sus! Aminin mo na kasi na namiss mo ko!"
We both laughed.
"Oh, right! Nakalimutan kong i-congratulate ka kahapon! Congratulations, Mr. Castino! Naks naman road to NATS!"
"Thank you, Ms. Dy!" aniya sabay bow. I giggled.
"Sabi ni Gavin kahapon, ngayon ka uuwi."
"Yeah... Napa-aga eh."
I nodded and smiled. We were filled with quietness until he spoke.
"Are you feeling better now?"
Tinignan ko siya at maliit na ngumiti.
"Yes. Thanks for not leaving by my side last night. Your presence means a lot..."
His eyes twinkled as he grinned.
"You're welcome, Ms. Dy! Call me anytime when you need someone to cry on."
"Uy, ikaw rin! Call me too when things are tough..."
We both smiled genuinely at each other. My heart raced. Sumakay na kami sa multicab at pag dating namin sa school hinatid niya ako sa aking silid.
Pinagtitinginan kami ng mga tao ngunit hindi ko sila pinansin. Wala namang malisya 'to! Mag kaibigan lang kami ni Ral.
"Thanks! Bye!" sabi ko sabay kaway. Nang naka-alis na siya pumasok na ako sa aking silid.
"Hoy! Ano yun?!" chismosang sabi ni Ria.
"Si Ral yun diba?!" si Narumi.
"Sabay kayo pumasok?! Hinatid ka pa niya dito sa classroom!" ani Sanella.
I put my bag on my chair before putting my hands on my waist. Natahimik sila ngunit kita ko pa rin na nagpipigil sila sakanilang ngisi.
"Alam niyo, wa'g nga kayong magisip ng ganyan! Ilang beses ko ba sabihin sa inyo na mag kaibigan lang kami ni Ral?"
"Nagtatanong lang naman kami ah!" Sanella fired back.
"Oo nga! Ikaw 'tong nagiisip ng malisya eh!" si Ria.
"True! Bakit meron ba?!" si Narumi.
I chuckled and shook my head.
"Bahala na kayo kung ano isipin niyo..."
I sat down and grabbed a book from my book. I put in my earphones before reading.
"Her words don't equal to her actions. Tsk." dinig kong sabi ni Ria. Inignora ko siya at nagpatuloy sa pagbabasa.
