Chapter 25

Hindi kami sabay na pumunta sa condo ni Kian ng gabing iyon. Gabi na kami nang makaalis kami sa bahay at pumunta sa condo niya. I have my own car so I didn't bother anymore to ride with him. He gave me the address so I knew where his condo is. Besides, I don't think I can even think straight when I am with him.

When I got there, his condo was silent. Well, I am used to a silent place but the thought of Kian and I under the same roof made me shiver.

He toured me in his condo. His condo was big, it is so big for just two person. Paano na lang no'ng mag-isa siya dito? Sabagay, tahimik naman siyang tao kaya ayos lang sa kanya ang ganitong atmosphere.

Everything in his condo is modernized and I must say he's rich. I mean, he' really rich. Ni wala nga akong condo eh! Iisang anak lang si Kian kaya bakit hinahayaan siya na tumira rito?

"This is my room." iminuwestra niya ako sa isang malaking silid. So?

I roamed my eyes inside his room. It has a minimal design... so very him.

"You always stay here in your condo?" nilingon ko siya at nakita na nakasunod lang siya sa akin. He put his right hand inside his pocket. Sinundan ko siya ng tingin hanggang sa naupo siya sa kanyang kama. Samantalang ako ay nananatiling nakatayo malapit sa pintuan ng kanyang kuwarto.

He shook his head.

"Nope. Sa bahay ako palagi. Mom wants me to be there." he said.

"Then why you bought this?"

"This is my Dad's gift."

"Oh. I see."

He's now staring at me again. I diverted my gaze on something. I feel like... I am suffocating because of his stares.

"Hindi ako masyado nagpupunta rito kasi wala naman akong kasama. My friends don't even know about this."

My eyes widened.

"Why?"

"Hindi naman nila kailangan malaman." sabi niya lang.

So, does it mean...

"Ikaw pa lang ang unang taong nakatapak dito." bahagya akong nagulat sa kanyang sinabi. Then... should I feel honored because I am the first one to be here? Imbes na sabihin ko sa kanya ito hindi na lang.

"Where's my room, then?" nagtaas ako ng kilay. Hindi pa niya pinapakita sa akin ang kuwarto ko.

I heard him heavily sighed after he get up and started to walk outside his room.
