We spent five days together in this condo. That time went fast, I didn't even realize it. I've learned so much about her, we became closer than I expected. Who would know that my enemy will be my caring and sweet friend?

Parang ayoko umalis sa condo, lalo na kung sariwa pa ang mga alaala sa aking isipan. Pakiramdam ko ay mawawala ang saysay lahat ng iyon kapag umalis ako sa condong 'to.

After the night, I feel like there's a wall surrounding us. It feels like she's preventing herself from saying anything related to that night, so I thought she just really didn't want to discuss that matter again.

But despite that, she's still made me feel that I'm still her friend, she returned to herself, a sweet and funny Leigh. Parang handa siya kalimutan ang lahat ng pinag-usapan namin sa gabing iyon para lang makapag-bati kami.

Napabuntong hininga ako habang nakatingin sa salamin. I just wore a off-shoulder top with a trouser on the bottom.

Binuksan ko ang pinto ng kwarto, at naabutan ko si Leigh na nagpupunas ng kamay. Mukhang katatapos niya lang maghugas ng mga plato. Tumingin siya sa gawi ko, seryoso ang kanyang mga mata.

I sucked a deep breath and went closer. She's wearing a big black shirt and shorts.

"Aalis ka na?" Sinira niya ang katahimikan kaya napaigtad ako. Patuloy lang siya sa pagpupunas ng kamay niya sa twalya.

"Yeah, nasa ibaba na si Apollo." Maikling sabi ko habang iniiwas ang tingin.

"Oh eh ano pang hinihintay mo?" Taas na kilay niyang sabi kaya napa-awang ang labi ko.

"I don't want to go..." Ngusong sabi ko kaya natawa siya nang mahina.

"Then stay." Tumingin ito sa akin kaya kumawala ako ng hininga.

"You know I can't."

"Edi bumisita ka. Bilisan mo na, your friend would be tired waiting for you." Masungit niyang sabi kaya sinamaan ko ito ng tingin.

"Hindi mo man lang ako ihahatid?" Mataray kong sabi.

"You know the answer for that." Sabi niya at tinalikuran ako para asikasuhin ang mesa.

Napangiwi na lang ako. Yeah right, ayaw niya ako ihatid baka raw kasi hilahin niya ako pabalik sa condo kapag nakita niya ako umalis. I thought she was just joking yesterday but I guess she's telling the truth.

Pinanood ko ang kanyang likod habang busy siya sa ginagawa niya. I went behind her and hugged her tightly. Natigilan siya sa aking ginawa pero wala na ako pakialam. I closed my eyes and I snaked my arms around her waist.

"Artemis..." She called me in a low tone.

"Promise that you'll still treat me the same way once I leave this condo." I mumbled while hugging her.

I'm becoming reckless with my actions, I know. But this is the only way to express my... Never mind.

This is the safest action I can do for now. She would not think anything suspicious because this is normal for friends... Right?

I didn't know that hugging her is comfortable and relaxing like I don't want to let go, I wanna stay in this position. She let out a sigh and she turned towards me.

Nagulat ako dahil doon, hindi ko inaasahan ang pag harap niya agad. Aalisin ko sana yung braso ko na nakapulupot sa bewang niya pero binalik niya iyon habang nakatitig sa akin.
