"sakit non sa braso ah." saad ko pag ka tapos ng training nandito kami sa restroom sa loob ng quadrangle. "i know right, have you seen saige?" saad nito at isinakbit ang bag nya sa balikat. "i haven't." sana naman ay hindi sila mag kasama ni sean ngayon. I haven't see her yet, simula kanina hindi ko sya nakikita. "di sila mag kasama wag ka mag alala, tara na nga." saad nito at inakbayan ako i hope.

"btw wanna go out?" saad ni fiona habang nag d-drive nasa passenger seat ako naka upo. "saan naman tayo pupunta?" tanong ko rito. "ewan, gusto ko rin mag gala eh." saad nito sa akin may problema kaya tong gagang to?

"gaga ka broken ka ba?" tanong ko dito ewan parang lang eh. "gusto ko lang naman mag gala, at ako ma b-broken in your dreams ria." ilang beses na kaya.

"tnga ka fiona ano nga?" saad ko rito at natawa. "hindi nga ako broken, mukha ba ha ria?" saad nito sa akin.

"you and alexander are good friends huh." saad nito at tinungga ang hawak nyang canned soft drink.

"slight lang, ngayon lang naman kami naging close." saad ko rito, nandito kami sa sea side this used to be our favourite place when our heart and mind searches for peace.

"he's good no?" tanong nito. "oo naman, mabait si alex. Asan nga ba yun ngayon?"

"busy eh, he's one of the student council sa university." saad nito sa akin.

"do you like someone na?" biglaang tanong ko sa kanya, i just feel na meron na ulit syang nagugustuhan. Like she's ready again, to like someone.

"i don't even know if this heart truly likes him, he's giving me mixed signals e. Sometimes i think he likes me too, sometimes naman parang bumalik lang ulit kami sa pagiging friends like that." mahabang paliwanag nito.

"sino ba yan ha, di ako na inform teh!" saad ko rito. "someone."

"madaming someone, tnga ka!" saad ko sakaniya. "Pangalawa na yan ha!" saad nito at binatukan ako, masakit yon ah!

"masakit yon gaga ka!"

Day's goes by, walang araw na di natapos na hindi ko sya naisip. It's really hard to be far away from him, nasanay ako na nasa tabi ko lamang sya. But i can't do anything just to wait until he came back.

Valentine's just passed by, as usual puro lason ang nasa paligid ko ng araw na yon'. Ang sarap nila hagisan ng bulaklak, ang sakit sa mata sa park pa sila nag haharutan. It's just a normal day for me, nothing special.

"hey, you alright?" saad ni alexander at tumabi sa akin, we became a good friends. "yes, what brings you here?"

"nothing just wanna spend time with you." saad nito at inabot ang canned soft drink sa akin. "wala kang class?" saad ko.

"wala, time are so fast. Ilang months nalang malapit na tayong mag graduate." saad nito sa akin, we'll he's right masyadong mabilis ang oras ngayon tila ba'y nag mamadali. "anyway can i invite you?"

"where?"

"at our house, mom wants me to invite you to have dinner with us. Are you free later?" saad nito sa akin. "uh, yes sure. I'm free what time ba?" saad ko, tumingin ito sa kanyang relo. "i'll pick you up at 6:00 in the evening." he said then he smile.

"see you around asteria." saad nito at kumindat bago guluhin ang buhok ko, at umalis. Baliw talaga yun.

"Fiona!" tawag ko sa kaniya ng makita ko syang nasa kabilang gilid ng field, ngumiti ito bago lumapit sa akin.

"are you coming later?" i asked her

"where?"

"didn't alex invite you?"

"oh sa dinner with his fam? i can't come, madami kasi akong inaasikaso. Maybe next time i'll come, tita will definitely understand that."

"sumama ka'na, i'll help you tomorrow sa mga inaayos mo." pamimilit ko rito, im not close with alex's family, she's the one na super close sa kanila. "sige, i'll try."

Sumaya naman kaagad ang mukha ko ng sumagot ito.

Afternoon came all the classes are over, i'll go home right away to choose what clothes im going to wear.

i just wear Long sleeves lace classic maiden top, and black vautheir pants, and a simple black leather high heels. I just tied my hair up and leave some piece of my hair in side of my face. I just put a light make up on my face.

Exactly 6:00 in the evening alex came, "hi tita good evening po. Im here to pick up asteria po." pamamaalam nito kay mommy pag pasok.

"take care of my daughter hijo, don't go home late." saad ni mommy sa kanya. "I will po tita, don't worry hindi ko po sya iuuwi ng malalim na ang gabi." napangiti ako sa sagot nito.

"you look perfect tonight or let me say, you look perfect every day not just tonight." saad nito sa akin nambobola pa sya e.

"you're just joking aren't you? Hahhaa!" saad ko rito at tumawa. "But seriously i'm not joking do i look im joking huh."

"okay I get it, you're not joking. Thank you anyways, you look perfect too." saad ko rito, kahit madilim nakita ko ang pasimpleng pag ngiti nito he's dimples showed up handsome asf!

"Happy birthday, tito." I greeted him pag pasok namin ng bahay nila. Nothing change malawak parin ang bahay nila. "Thank you hija." saad nito sa akin ngumiti naman ako bilang sagot.

"Are you dating with alex?" Nanlaki ang aking mata sa tanong ni tita, kaagad naman akong umiling. "No tita, we're not po." nagulat ang lahat ng sinabi ko bakit?

"aren't y'all? You look good together." saad ng isang babae sa tabi ni tita, she must be alexander's grandmother.

"I agree, mother. Look at them, look cute and expensive couple." saad naman ni tita.

I smiled awkwardly, hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko kung ano ba ang isasagot ko pano nato?

"Aren't alexander courting you?" umiling kaagad ako, "no po tita, Alex and i are good friends right lex?"saad ko at tumingin kay Alexander na kumakain sa tabi ko.

"mom, grandmother, stop asking her. You guy's are making her uncomfortable." saad nito at tumingin sa akin.

"we're just asking her c'mon alex."

"Asteria and i are friends alright nothing more, she has a boyfriend don't ask for more."

"Excuse us." saad nito at kinuha ang kamay ko, "excuse us auntie." pamamaalam ko bago nag patuloy sumunod sa kanya.

Dinala nya ako sa pool side kung saan merong swing open space ang area na ito kaya kita mo ang langit, sumasalubong ang malamig na simo'y ng hangin.

"why did you do that?"

"They're making you uncomfortable, sorry for that asteria."

"that's alright, they're just confused i guess."
