Loving you

"Are you okay, babe?" dinig kong tanong ni Marvin.

"I'm fine, it's just I'm internally exhausted with all the happenings today."

"I know I haven't asked you about that matter ever since she was gone, but I want you to know that I'm here if you want to talk about her. Ruhee's been part of our group and I know you're sensitive with her name being mentioned but I know you miss her big time."

Jesca didn't say anything so I made an effort to look at her. Agad ko ring binawi ang aking tingin nang makita ang luha niya. She's silently crying while being comforted by Marvin.

Sana all.

I wonder how she's taking it all in. Based on their conversation, Jesca didn't know shit about my life. I feel terrible for being her best friend.

I must've had good reason for keeping it to myself, though.

I guess I'm not an open book for everybody to read.

The moment our car stopped, I went out and walked as fast as I can, leaving the two behind.

 Agad akong nagpunta sa kwarto ni Achi pero walang tao doon. Tumingin ako sa orasan at napagtantong alas tres na ng hapon. They probably went out for lunch or something.

Lumabas ako ng kwarto para hanapin sila sa buong cabin.

"Just tell them I'm tired. I'll go sleep in our room so you can hang out with them or just do whatever you want." paalam ni Jesca kay Marvin.

"No. I'll go with you."

Nagkasalubong kaming tatlo, ako pababa habang sila ay paakyat sa kanilang kwarto. I really don't want to involve myself with them at the moment.

Pahakbang na sana ako sa kusina nang marinig ko ang kaunting ingay na nagmumula sa labas. Sinundan ko iyon at nakita ko ang mga itlog na nakaupo malapit sa LAKE.

I can see beers on their table while they're pretty much engaged with their conversation. My eyes immediately landed on someone I'm missing.

I looked at him and stared at him from afar. He's probably lost in thoughts while talking. I wish he can tell me what he's thinking.

But also, I don't think it's me who he needs.

Nevertheless, without a second thought, I went out and walked towards him.

Even if he's not willing to tell me everything, I realized that I'll stay with him. I know I kept on saying this like a mantra, but this is how I really feel whenever I'm near him.

"So hindi ka talaga uuwi, bruv?" tanong ni Lucifer.

"Not until they leave."

"What if they don't leave? Dito ka na lang?" tanong ni Matteo.

"Anong dito lang siya? Dito tayong lahat!" si Bryles.
