Chapter 26.1
Plot twist
I stepped back immediately because we were so close to each other.
"Yeah," I managed to say.
We always, always meet in an unexpected setting.
"Sinong kasama mo?" tanong niya.
"Family," tipid kong sagot.
He nodded. "You want to join me for a drink?" muli niyang tanong at tinuro pa ang table 'di kalayuan. Mayroong isang lalaki roon na sa tingin ko'y kapatid o kapamilya niya.
Seriously, when will he stop inviting me for drinks or coffee?
Umiling ako. Trying not to be rude in the process of declining. I was about to excuse myself to go to Esther when he said something.

Plot twistWe stopped for lunch in a nearby resto then spent the whole afternoon visiting the Spanish Gate, a heritage site here in Subic, and Zoobic Safari. We enjoyed most in the Safari. Mas maganda pala pumunta roon kapag gabi pero hindi na kami pwede magtagal. Ang saya magpapicture kasama ng mga crocodiles pati na roon sa isang tiger. Ang friendly kasi nila ang sarap gawing pet. Pero bawal naman yata 'yon.The safari was our last stop for the day. Pinapauwi na kasi kami ni Lola. I think she's paranoid again that we'll do something crazy or extreme. Grabe talaga ang na-instill na doubt nina Kuya Van at Tyler kay Lola...The ride back to the beach house took almost an hour. Nakatulog na nga ako sa biyahe kahit pa nararamdaman ko na panay ang vibrate ng cellphone ko sa bulsa ng suot kong maong skirt. Gabi na nang makauwi k

InvitationThe first day of the year went well. Nag-stay kami sa Subic hanggang umaga at tumulak pauwi pagdating ng hapon. The ride back home was peaceful. Kami ni Aspen ay parehong nakatulog habang si Kuya Theo ang nagmaneho. Kuya Van can't drive because he was hung over. Ang dami kasi niyang nainom kagabi.Austin Javier Uvero: You got home safe?Message agad ni Austin ang nabasa ko nang makauwi sa bahay at mahiga sa kama. I'm so tired.Georgina Meredith Sy: Yes.Austin Javier Uvero: Good. Inigo and I will pick you up later at around twelve thirty. We need to be at the airport early on. I already talked to your Mom and Dad about it. Rest for now.Nakapag paalam

UnconsciouslyFirst week without Austin went by slowly. Dahil six hours behind ang Serbia, hindi rin talaga kami nakakapag usap masyado. It's either I'm already asleep when he calls or he wakes up really early to talk to me. But during their afternoon break, nakakapag-usap kami through chat. It saddens me that there's still a week ahead before they get back.Grabe, ang attached ko na sa kanya...My cousins, Tito and Tita already went back to Davao. Si Lola ay ganoon din, nakabalik na sa Shanghai. Yesterday, we also drove Kuya Theo to the airport because he'll go back to Ohio. Mom and Dad are both back to work. The whole house has been quiet ever since. Mabuti na lang may Turbo kaya kahit papaano, hindi naman sobrang lungkot.I just did the usual things that I do on a daily basis

UnconsciouslyWhen Saturday came, I'm all nerves. Alas sais ang simula ng exhibit at may after party hanggang alas onse. Maaga akong pumunta kasi alam kong traffic na naman. I asked one of our drivers to accompany me. Hindi rin kasi ako sinamahan ni Kuya Van for an obvious reason. He hates traffic. Well, halos lahat naman yata.It's a formal event. Mom offered to style me. She made me wear a multi-lavender tweed cocktail dress. I paired it with light pink ankle-strap heels. Simple lang ang sinabi ko sa kanya kasi ayoko namang makaagaw ng pansin. Maliit na hikaw at simpleng kuwintas lang din ang suot ko.Pagkarating ko sa venue ay agad akong inalalayan ng isang staff at tinulungan akong dalhin ang paintings ko sa naka-assign na space para sa akin. Ang daming naka-display na paintings... I am so amazed. Manghang-mangha ako sa

JealousI was caught off guard. Hindi ako nakagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko nang marinig ang sinabi niya."Sorry, I shouldn't have said that," Sandro said.Napakurap-kurap ako at napaisip kung ano ba ang gagawin o sasabihin ko. I mean, what was I supposed to say anyway? Thank you for liking me? Sorry but you need to stop it because I'm not interested? I don't know... So I just settled with silence."Will you still offer a ride?" tanong niya.I am this close to taking back the offer. Pero alam ko na hindi ako patutulugin ng konsensiya ko kapag may nangyari pang masama sa kanya. And so I nodded. Inalis ko na ang dalawa kong paintings at binitbit. Ganoon din ang ginawa niya. He even offered to take mine but I declined.

HomeSimula na ng second semester. I have 21 units this sem kaya medyo mabigat ang load. Mayroon na rin akong classes na iba kina Agatha at Inigo. They both major in Information Design. May mga klase na hiwalay na ako sa kanila pero sa general courses ay magkakasama pa rin kaming tatlo."And then? You two were good after you cried your heart out?" Agatha asked. We're currently having our lunch. Kinuwento ko sa kanya 'yong nangyaring pagseselos ni Austin kay Sandro. She seems okay hearing Sandro's name. Bali cleared her mind daw kaya nawala na ang pagka crush niya roon."Not the crying that you're thinking of. More on happy tears... And yeah, we're good.""My gosh! Sa inyo na lang talaga ako kinikilig!" she shrieked. Sinabayan pa ng hampas niya sa braso ko.

No Questions "Javi Uvero with the deadly slam!" sabi ng commentator kasabay ng malakas na hiyawan ng supporters ng team. Nakakabingi ang ingay. Kahit si Iain at Inigo ay pareho ring napatayo dahil sa dunk na iyon ni Austin. Two minutes in on the fourth quarter and the game is tied. Nakalamang lang ang team ng Chanston dahil sa puntos ni Austin. Now that I've seen him play in a real game, I can't help but be impressed. Jaco's the star player of the team but Austin's contribution can't be ignored. Ang galing niyang maglaro... Whenever he makes a point, he celebrates humbly. Hindi siya iyong show-off na ang yabang tingnan. "Well, shit. The koala didn't play shit!" Inigo exclaimed. "Told 'ya, loser!" sigaw ni Agatha. If we want to talk to each other, we really need to raise our

LuckiestTo say that I rushed everything would be an understatement. Ni hindi pa ako naliligo nang makarating si Austin. I asked him why he was so early and he just said he's worried we'll get stuck in the morning traffic. Ayaw niya namang sabihin kung saan kami pupunta. Inaantok pa nga ako kasi tinapos ko kagabi 'yong requirement na ngayong araw ko dapat tatapusin.I felt like I was the Flash when I managed to get ready in a span of twenty minutes. Hindi iyon ang madalas na oras ng pag-aayos ko. I took a quick shower and just got the most comfortable and go-to clothes I first laid my eyes on. Sabi naman ni Austin kahit ano raw suotin ko basta komportable ako. So I settled with a faded maong shorts, a plain black top and I paired it with a black strappy sandals. I also tied my hair in a half ponytail. Hindi ko na na-blowdry pa kasi nagmamadali na.
