YUAN

"Lt. Bustamante on the line, good afternoon Sir."

"Yuan!"

"Sir? Dad?"

"Nasan ka?"

"Dito sa Villamor. Bakit Dad?"

"Nandito ako ngayon sa Opisina ni Gen Malvar, punta ka dito"

"Sir? Eh..... Sige sir."

"Dalian mo huh!"

"Yes Sir."

Pucha! Bakit na naman? Umiiwas ako diyan kay Gen Malvar eh. Ang dami naming pupuntahan si Dad diyan pa sa kanila.

"Oh Bustamante, para kang pupunta sa giyera huh. Ano problema?"

"Tangina, yung tatay ko pinapapunta ako kina Gen Malvar eh."

"Waaaaah! Patay ka ngayon. Nandun pa naman si Honey. Baka nagsumbong na ginalaw mo siya."

"Bok! Hindi ko siya ginalaw. Ang ikinagagalit nun hindi ko siya pinapansin kasi."

"Halla! Baka ipapakasal ka na kay Honey ng Tatay mo ngayon hahaha."

"Anong gagawin ko?"

"Eh di umayaw ka."

"Hindi naman ako ipapakasal ng tatay ko. Makikialam lang yan. Parang, let's have dinner etc...."

"Malamang. Alangan naman humindi ka di ba?"

"Teka Tawagan ko muna si Mommy at siya ang magsabi kaya sa Tatay ko na may pupuntahan ako?"

"Ungas para ka namang nagsumbong sa Nanay mo para isave ka niya. Isip ka na lang ng ibang paraan."

"Bakit ba naman kasi sinabi ko na nasa Villamor ako eh."

"Nasan ba siya ngayon?"

"Nasa quarters ni Gen Malvar nga."

"Tangina Bustamante, patay ka ngayon. Bakit ba ayaw mo kay Honey?"

"Tignan mo naman yun. Ikaw kung ibibigay yun sa iyo, gugustuhin mo ba siya?"

"Hindi! Tatandang binata na lang ako no!"

"See that! Ikaw nga ayaw mo eh. Ako pa kaya?"

"Teka, mas guapo naman ako sa iyo ah."

"Hahahahahaha oo nga! Tulungan mo ako!"

"Hmmmmm eh di tawagan mo si Nina para isave ka niya. Sabihin mo kayo ni Nina."

"Ungas, kilala ni Dad si Nina alam niya na friends lang kami nun."

"Ipahiram ko sana ang girlfriend ko sa iyo kaya lang alam naman ng mga tao na girlfriend ko yun hahahaha."

"Gago ka talaga."

Riiiing! Riiiiiing!

"Tangina tumatawag na naman yata ang Tatay ko eh."

"Sagutin mo."

'Lt Biustamante on the line, good afternoon Sir."

"Yuan?"

"HUH! Yes Ma'am. May I know who's on the line?"

"It's Janelle. Can we talk? Are you free"

"Yes! Yes I'm free. Where are you?"

"Uhm.... Well.... Oh damn! I am just outside your quarters. They told me that you're here."

"Huh! Wait. Don't go away, I'll come get you. I'll just put on a shirt."

"Okay."

"Sino yan?"

"Si Janelle. Sagot sa problema ko Bok!"

"Pano ang Tatay mo?"

"Punta muna kami dun."

"Ano gagawin mo?"

"Basta. Teka lang at papasukin ko muna siya dito."

"Sige, nang makilala ko din siya."

JANELLE

Am I doing the right thing? I asked my detail if it's okay to come here and talk to Yuan and maybe they saw what I feel for him, they allowed me to come. But, he sounded strange on the phone. He does not seem mad at me anymore. When we parted last night he was mad at me. I know he was so pissed but then we had to talk and get this thing over. If he does not like to see me after what I will tell him, then so be it. If it's over, then it's over.

"Erika!"

Oh man, why does he look so hot and sexy? Oh damn! How will I be able to tell him what I have rehearsed to tell him? Oh damn. Yuan don't smile. Wait, he's smiling and he does look relieved to see me. Why?

"Yuan."

"Come in. I'm just getting prepared to go out."

"Oh! you're going out? So it's a bad time for me to be here."

"No. Not really. I am glad you came. But if you don't mind you can come with me first and we'll say hi to my Dad and then we'll go somewhere to talk. Is that okay?"

"your Dad?"

"Yes."

"Oh my! Maybe we'll talk some other time?"

"No! You're more im[portant than anything my Dad has to tell me. Will it be okay if you come with me?"

"Okay."

"Are they coming too?"

He looked at my details.

"They have too. But they can stay outside."

"okay. This is my classmate from PMA, Mark, Bok si Janelle"

"Hello Miss Maxwell."

"You may call me Janelle or Erika"

"Nope. He calls you Janelle. I call you Erika or Baby."

Damn this guy. He's really playing with my heart strings. Aaaaahhhh. I just wish you are not joking Yuan. You just don't know the effect of what you said. Oh My!!!

"Whatever Yuan."

"Hahahahahaha! okay wait for me. I'll put on some pants. Hahaha"

"Hahaha, funny!"

I talked to his classmate who was just dropping by his quarters cause he needed to crash in since there are some upperclassmen in his quarters who would be sleeping there tonight and tomorrow. Yuan looked at me as he retreated in his room. I looked at him and I saw the concern in his eyes. Maybe he is not so confident at all about us. About what is going to happen when we talk.

YUAN

Bakit siya nandito? Anong ginagawa niya? Anong sasabihin niya sa akin? Huwag naman sana niyang sabihin sa akin na huwag ko na siyang guguluhin. Oh damn, why the hell na parang minamalas yata ako sa araw na ito ah. NAndiyan si Dad na gustong makipag kita sa quarters ni Gen Malvar. Andun yung anak niyang kung makapulupot sa akin parang anaconda pati pagmumukha niya anaconda. Pati ugali niya ang sama. Kung kausapin niya ang mga tropa parang siya ang upperclass, parang siya ang opisyal. Pano kung nagging kami eh di kung umasta na baka mas malala.

Si Erica, bakit siya nandito? Pero ang ganda niya. Ang ganda ganda niya. Ano kayang sasabihin niya sa akin? Pero before that, kahit ngayon lang maipakita ko sa tatay ko na gusto ko siya. is that wrong?
