He sighs with disbelief. Tumingin si Kei doon sa katulong naming si Maya.

"Sino bang naghahanap sa akin?"

Napataas siya ng kanyang kilay. Matino rin naman pala 'to kausap minsan, kailangan lang din pala supalpalin minsan para tumino ang utak ng pagiging abnormal. She smirk.

"Sally daw po, Sir," sagot naman ni Maya.

"Oh s**t!" he cussed.

"Patay!" segunda naman niya nang marinig ang pangalan ni Sally.

Si Sally ay isa sa mga istudyante niya at kaklase ito ni Kei sa kanyang subject.

Tumayo siya at kumapit sa sandalan ng sofa.

"Nasaan ba siya?" tanong niya habang paika-ikang lumakad papalapit sa pintuan.

Muntikan pa siyang matumba, mabuti na lamang at maagap siyang nasalo ni Kei. Kinabig nito ang kanyang baywang. Napalunok siya roon at biglang nailang. Mabilis siyang umayos sa pagtayo. Binitawan naman siya ni Kei.

"Be careful," he said calmly.

Natigilan naman siya sa kanyang narinig. Now he's caring. Tipid lamang siyang ngumiti rito.

"Nasa may gate pa po," sagot naman ni Maya.

"Stay here," Kei said to her.

"Pero?"

"I said stay!" mariin nitong wika ulit. Nakagat niya ang kanyang ibabang labi.

Talaga sinabihan pa siya nitong stay. Ginawa pa talaga siya nitong aso.

"Ugh! This is unbelievable!" anas niya at padabog na lamang na bumalik sa sofa at naupo rito.

Mabuti na lang at nasa bulsa niya ang kanyang cellphone. Hindi siya mabuburyo rito sa study room. May pagkakaabahalan siya habang naghihintay kay Kei.

KEI immediately went outside the study room after knowing that Sally was outside, searching for him.

When he was about to go outside their house, he suddenly heard someone scream.

Nagulat naman siya sa kanyang narinig nang mapagtanto niyang si Kristina pala iyong sumigaw.

He stepped back and run to the study room.

"f**k! What happen?" he blurt out when he stepped into the study room.

"My god Kei 'yong picture natin sa sala itago mo," she said in panic.

He was like... Huh?! He rolled his eyes. Akala niya kasi kung ano nang nangyari rito.

"I won't let her get inside in our house. Enough panicking," he said.

Pagkatapos niyon ay agad din naman siyang lumabas ng study room. Diretso siya sa pinto, palabas ng bahay.

Sumalubong sa kanya ang guwardiya nilang si Mang Jose.

"Where is she?" tanong niya agad kay Mang Jose. He noticed he looks afraid to him. He smirk. Pasalamat 'to at mabait si Kristina riro dahil kung hindi, tuluyan niya na dapat itong pinaalis.

"Nasa labas po sir," sagot ni Mang Jose sa kanya.

Tumango lamang siya at lumapit sa gate. Lumabas siya.

Nakita niyang nakasandal si Sally sa kotse nito. When she noticed him. Napalingon ito agad sa gawi niya.

"Hi Patrick!" nakangiti nitong bati sa kanya. He just look at her plainly. No emotions at all.

"What are you doing here?" he asked calmly.

He don't want to be rude but he hate girls who's flirting with him and Sally is one of them in their class.

"Visiting you," she says, smiling where he can see her good set of teeth.

"How did you know I live here?" kunot-noo niyang tanong.

"Source," proud nitong sagot sa kanya. He smirk.

"So? What for?"

"I heard you left school. Nag-cutting classes ka na naman."

"I have my own privilege to do it that doesn't work on you."

She cross her arms.

"Alam ko but I can skip my classes too for you."

He smirk again with disbelief in his face.

"Want to go out with me?" yaya pa nitong bigla sa kanya. He slightly scoff.

"Sorry but I'm busy, excuse me I have to go because my sister is sick," pagdadahilan niya kay Sally.

When the truth is, Kristina is her wife and not her freaking sister. Whatever! His goal was he don't want anybody would know that Kristina is his wife, besides pinilit lang naman silang ipakasal sa isat-isa.

"Hey? I thought you don't have any siblings."

Oh s**t! Bakit ba hindi siya puwedeng magkaroon ng pribadong buhay.

"I'ts my Dad's adopted," pagsisinungaling niya.

Damn! He hate this woman. Naiirita na siya rito.

"Oh? Can I come in?"

"You know what Sally? I don't befriend with strangers. Yes, you're my classmate but I still see you as a stranger. We're not even friends. Not even close. So excuse me I have to go because honestly, you're wasting my f*****g time," he says bluntly.

He walks out. Bastos na kung bastos but he don't want any girls attached to him.

"Patrick wait!" Sally shouted.

Hindi niya ito pinakinggan at pumasok agad sa loob.

"Don't let her in and don't say anything," bilin niya kay Mang Jose.

Bumalik na siya sa loob ng bahay at pinuntahan muli si Kristina sa study room.

This was the first time Kristina entered his study room. He just don't know why he brought her there. Nagtataka siya sa kanyang sarili. Kahit kailan naman ay hindi siya nagpapapasok sa study room simula nang magsama sila ni Kristina sa iisang bahay. He sighs. He must be crazy. Nailing na lamang siya at kumatok na lamang sa pinto.

"Kristina?" tawag niya rito ngunit wala siyang makuhang sagot dito.

He open the door wide enough and he saw her sleeping on the sofa. Pumasok siya at isinirado ang pinto.

Lumapit siya kay Kristina at inayos ito sa paghiga sa kama. She looks tired. He stared at her. She's like an angel but he know part of them were dangerous. All of them, like what that woman in his past did to him.

When he was sure enough that Kristina is sleeping sound like a baby, he immediately stepped outside of the study room.

Pagkatapos niyon ay pumunta siya sa mini-bar ng kanilang bahay. Sa first floor pa rin at katabi lang din ito ng study room. He went inside. He close the door and his eyes were searching at the shelves. He was searching for a whiskey.

Nang makita niya ang bote niyon ay agad din naman siyang lumapit sa island bar at umupo sa high chair.

He sip some whiskey. He sighs then and he's thinking something deep.
