Two Less Lonely Strangers

At the Beginning

Stella's POV

OMG bakit siya nandito? I mean ngayon ko lang siya nakita dito.. Oh my baka naman..

"ini-istalk mo ba ko? " while crossing my arms.

" what are you saying? " natatawa tawa pa siya, haay aga aga mapapalaban na naman ako sa ingles nento.

"im just wondering why you're here?" tanong ko ulit.

"well this is my ninong's house and my family and I were here for vacay. " paliwanag niya.

"how about you?" tanong niya naman.

"ahm wala it's none of your business." sagot ko at wala akong balak na mag-explain.

"hey hey excuse me and you are? " sabat ni tita Alex na medyo nahawa na din ng pagi-ingles.

"My name is Dominic Pascual." nagpakilala siya kay tita at nakipagkamay sabay baling ng tingin sa akin.

"ah ano may nakalimutan ako saglit." palusot ko na kunyari papasok ulit ako sa loob.

"destiny. " i heard him saying something pero di ako sure kung tama ba narinig ko nacurious lang ako kasi medyo nakakaloko yung ngiti niya eh.

" anong sabi mo? " nakakunot noo kong tanong.

"ah-ano wala ahm sorry i guess i have to go. By the way.. nice seeing you here." lumakad na siya palayo.. ang conyo niya talaga di naman cool tssk sarap konyatan..

"huy ano na nakalimutan mong kunin sa loob? " tanong ni tita Alex bigla naman akong natauhan.

" ah nakalimutan ko na kung ano yun.." wala naman talaga akong kukunin eh hays..

Dominic's POV

Flashback..
"ayos mukhang destiny kayo ah. " Jon teased me when he told me that Stella is her name.

Back to reality..
I remembered that night when Jon called me.

" destiny. " i did not mean to say it out loud.

" anong sabi mo? " she looks mataray na naman hehe.

" ah-ano wala ahm sorry i guess i have to go. By the way.. nice seeing you here." and I finally decided to leave.

I never thought that Destiny is true until what happened earlier. It's obvious that she's living in that house near my Ninong's house.

"what the heck! " i just realized something. Could she be the girl that sang 'Your Universe' last night?
How the hell in the world did I forget about it.

After 2 hours..

"Son good that you're here now. We'll be back to Manila after an hour just take a rest for a bit." Dad said and I just nodded and walked fast upstairs.

After packing my things i thought of checking someone at the terrace baka sakali makita ko siya and I was surprised when i came out.

"looking for someone? " she just popped out of nowhere.

"ahm no ahem so you're living here right?" i said in a cool way baka mahalata ako.

"so what? " she said with a cold tone.

" hmm i knew it.. It's you! " Finally it's confirmed cause she handled a guitar.

" me what? " ang taray talaga niya.

" you're the girl i heard singing last night. " I can't contain my happiness.

"at ikaw yung sumira ng performance ko kagabi." she said and rolled her eyes.

"wow performance talaga concert lang? " I laughed at my joke but she did not.

"ah-ha funny." she mimic my laugh.

"sorry naman. But i must say you're good really. " i smiled at her a bit.

"good lang tssk.." she still looks annoyed but cute at the same time.

Knock knock.. I step backward to see who's knocking at my door.

"Dom they're waiting for us downstairs. " ate Devon says.

" okay I'll be there. " I shouted but not too loud.

" Stella.. " she's gone when i get back to where we were standing earlier.

Lumipad na pabalik ng Manila si Dominic kasama ang kanyang family habang si Stella naman ay abalang abala sa pag-aayos ng gamit.

" Oh anak ang dami mo naman atang dala one day lang tayo dun kailangan  natin umuwi agad dahil pasukan na next week. " ani ng Mama ni Stella.

" ahm ganun po ba. " malungkot na tono niya.

" Stella look at me." her mom cupped her face.

"we will see your Dad to spend time with him so no more running away na okay. " dagdag pa ng Mama niya.

" opo Ma ahm.. " naisip naman niya bigla si Yna.

" o siya sige na pagkatapos mo diyan ay bumaba ka na para sa dinner. We'll leave at 5am tomorrow. " tumayo ang Mama niya at hahakbang na sana palabas ngunit napigilan ni Stella at umakap sa bewang ng Mama niya.

" Ma, alam niyo po ba na may anak si Papa sa iba? " tanong niya pero di agad sumagot ang Mama niya.

" yeah her name is Yna Marie. " sagot ng Mama niya habang hinahagod ang kanyang likod at siya naman napahigpit ang yakap ni Stella sa kaniyang Mama.

" you'll be fine. " dagdag pa nito at humalik sa kaniyang noo bago pa ito tuluyang lumabas.

Bago pa matulog si Stella ay naisipan niyang i-text si Yna, nagbabakasakali na gising pa ito pero wala siyang natanggap na reply mula dito.

" haays. " malalim na huminga si Stella na tila kinakabahan kung ano ang mga mangyayari kinabukasan once na malaman ni Yna na magkapatid sila sa Ama.
