*Allie's POV*

Ikinagulat ko when she pulled her hand away. I looked at her with questioning eyes asking what that was all about. Hindi na siya nakasagot. She was like frozen. So, hinanap ko kung sino mang babaeng tumawag sa akin.

With all her energy, she is waving at us. No, at me. Steph is waving at me. On my right, nakita kong sumenyas na sa'min 'yong ibang mga kasama namin that they'll go ahead sa parking area. The company has offered a shuttle kasi para ihatid kami pauwi.

Before heading towards Steph's direction, I grabbed Aya's hand. She resisted at first na may balak pa yatang makipag-tug of war sa'kin but decided to go with me bago pa maging awkward ang paghihilahan namin. Ayaw niya sigurong makita and maisip ni Steph na kami na.

On our way, parang nag-iba ang facial expression ni Steph. I don't know but it seems that she isn't delighted with Aya being with me. Nang makalapit kami, she acts like Aya's not around and kisses me on my left cheek right away - sa kaliwa, where Aya is standing next to me.

"Hey, na-miss kita, sobra!" sabi niya while hawak ang both shoulders ko.

Halos magkasalubong na ang kilay ko sa confusion wondering why she missed me eh wala namang dapat i-miss sa'ming dalawa. She was about to hug me pero umatras ako.

Like whoa, wait lang, kasama ko nga pala ang girlfriend ko.

Natitempt akong sabihin 'yon pero I'm sure 'di pa ready si Aya. Sa lamig ng kamay niya, I'm sure ayaw niyang magka-idea si Steph about us.

Napatingin ako kay Aya and I realize na sobrang higpit pala ng pagkakahawak ko sa kamay niya and nararamdaman kong she was trying to pull it away. She finds the situation too awkward for sure. I let her go. Napatingin ako sa writst niyang minamassage niya which I notice na namumula.

"Sorry." sabi ko.

"No, you don't have to. I was just carried away." si Steph nagsalita assuming na para sa kanya 'yong sorry ko. She's not looking at me kasi after kong dineny ang supposedly hug niya. Nahiya siguro. She's checking her phone.

"Wait lang! I'm trying to contact the shuttle driver to inform him na sa'kin ka na sasabay." si Steph pa rin.

She really acts like Aya's not around.

"I'll go ahead." biglang paalam ni Aya na ikinagulat ko. Sabay dapat kami eh.

"Sorry Aya! Welcome back nga pala. A lot of work's waiting for you." pansin ni Steph which obviously sapilitan lang.

"I know." sagot naman ni Aya sabay smile but immediately walked out.

"Wait! Sabay na ako sa'yo." habol ko.

Pero 'di na niya ako narinig. Steph already grabbed me. Naririnig ko na lang si Steph na kausap 'yong driver informing him na hintayin si Aya and that 'di na ako sasabay. Sinundan ko na lang ng tingin si Aya hanggang sa matakpan na siya ng crowd.

What a first day back in reality! 😔
