Winning Hurricane

X - Weeds

His laughter was cut when the door opened revealing Cyclone without Ada. Right there, we already knew what happened. He roamed his eyes around the room as he smile but it didn't reached his eyes.

"Kumain na kayo?" he asked like nothing happened. Na parang wala padin kaming clue.

"Yeah. So how was it?" Cane asked, standing up. Pinatong niya yong beer sa mini table.

He shrugged, "May emergency sa kanila, hinatid ko muna siya bago niya ako pinauwi." It wasn't a lie and I felt relieved. "Babalik din ako don, kukuha lang akong damit."

This thing between him and Ada really scares me. Minsan gusto ko nalang mangyari para tapos na pero minsan ayoko din muna kasi.. matatapos na. Their relationship's really complicated from the very start hindi ko alam na may mas ilalala pa. Hindi pa sila sa lagay na'yan.

"Ansel fell asleep." He noticed. "Dito na kayo matulog, hindi na magigising yan." Dagdag niya.

He went inside his room at sumunod naman si Cane. I looked at Ansel bago siya ginising ng marahan.

"Uuwi na tayo."

She groaned as she turned her back on me. Eto ang hirap sa kanya pag napapasarap ang tulog. Kahit gising na siya di siya babangon kundi tutulog lang ulit.

"Don't bother waking her up. Hurri's sleeping on the sofa, you two in my room." Naka-balik na agad si Cy bago yumuko para buhatin si Ansel. She groaned again before nuzzling his neck.

I know they both love someone else now.. yet sometimes I can't help but wonder 'what if'. What if they didn't got so scared? Siguro sila? Maybe Ansel's not in a long distance relationship with Cy's older brother and maybe Cy's not in a complicated state right now. They sacrificed their possible love story for friendship. I still find it kinda tragic because they're perfect together.. they were once so in love..

I can't still imagine how they moved-on flawlessly..

Argh. Me and my tipsy thoughts.

They're both happy with someone else na.

"It's already late, be careful on driving." I said as I tailed them into his room. He carefully laid Ansel.

"Syempre. Takot ko nalang kay Ada pag nabangga ako." He jested as he winked.

"Can't you go there tomorrow?"

He shrugged, "She needs me now."

"How about our class tomorrow? Absent ka ulit?"

He sighed as he placed his hands on my shoulder, "You're such a mom. Mag-iingat po ako, text kita pag-dating ko."

Tss. He always says it but never texted me. Mukhang nabasa niya ang naiisip ko, mas lumawak yong ngisi niya. "Promise, I will. Allowance ko, mommy?"

Hinampas ko ang kamay niya bago siya tinalikuran. I watched him walked out the door. Nalinis na agad ni Cane ang sala at kitchen but the balloons are still there.

"Anong oras ka gigising bukas?" Cane asked as he settled on the sofa.

"5 sharp."

"Okay."

I turned around and before I could enter Cy's room I heard him saying goodnight.

Nagising ako at exactly 5:00 am. I shake Ansel to wake her up, "What time is it?" she asked habang kumukusot ng mata.

"5 am." I simply answered. Antok na antok padin talaga ako. Parang kakatulog ko lang tapos gigising na ulit.

"What happened to Ada?" her voice rasped.
