"Hindi ba ikaw ang nagsabi na 6PM" pagpipilit ni Dawn na sinabi ko 'yon, oo, sinabi ko nga yon, pero ang sabi ko 6PM ako sunduin hindi 6PM ang start.

"Kahit kailan ka talaga, kung di bastos sasabihin ko di mo maiintindihan no?" I sarcastically asked her.

Pops is driving for us; she said that Martin will go with his friends, and obviously, those are the boyfriends of these two.

"Mamaya magkasampalan kayo ng talong" pagpigil ni Pops sa sigawan namin.

"Talo si Reg, walang talong yan, eh?" natatawang sambit ni Lea na busy katext si Aga. Can she just shut her mouth if wala naman siyang sasabihin ikakaliit ng away namin or sumbatan?

"Kumain tayo ng hotdog kagabi ah, dalawang hotdog ba kinain mo Lea?" Pagganti ko naman dito at tumingin siya sa akin habang ngumingisi.

"Naiinggit kaba?" Tanong nito habang tinataas baba ang kilay niya. "No! What the fuck? I am my own woman; I can manage. And to answer you, mas gusto ko ng footlong."

"Play with yourself, Reg. We know yan, just don't play with us; we all know you're desperate to have dilig na, wag ka ngang OA dyan."

"Shut it!"

Nanahimik kami na parang may dumaang anghel sa kung naasan kami, sa traffic. Buti mas maaga kaming nakaalis dahil nasa walang hanggang traffic nanaman kami. Buti pa sa traffic may forever.

I become silent for a minute as I think of Ogie. Why would he buy me a pomelo yesterday? He didn't even know it was my favorite, and why does he want me to be with him while he's filming his film? I thought he just wanted to see and read my story.

A strange idea comes into my mind right now—a new idea for my new story.

No one wants to talk and that is because they're texting with their boyfriends while Pops is making a call with Martin. And me, of course, silently sitting feeling nothing, disappearing from their own worlds.

My daily routine includes looking at the traffic light and waiting for it to turn green again and again.

At first I hate to see Ogie but now I like his good company.

Hindi na rin nagtagal ay nakarating na kami sa bahay ni dad, dazzling lights, a lot of people, and pretty good decorations. But where is he? Am I just invited here to worry and be nothing to him on his special day? Okay, fine, I'll find him once we're inside the house.

We are assisted by my dad's good friend. I excuse myself from my friends to find my dad.

And then I go upstairs, trying to find him after three rounds here at the sala.

Nakasalubong ko si Gab na pababa, kaya naman tinanong ko kung nasaan si dad.

"Gab, where's dad?" I asked him.

"Nasa kwarto niya, ask him, ikaw ang kailangan niya ate," he utterly said. What happened now? Kakarating ko palang at mag aalas syete palang, may ganap agad.

As soon as I enter his room, he immediately turns his head toward me and smiles.

"Happy birthday, Dad." I greeted and hugged him; that's the only thing I could do. I didn't even bring any gifts; he doesn't want me to buy gifts for him anyway.
