"Miggy naman ! Anong dika makakasama ? " Inis kong wika natutulog pa kasi ako tumawag si Miggy. He said that he had a sudden urgent plan and he can't come with us. "P-paano to ? "
"Callalily kasama mo naman si papa Cloud . Parang di naman kayo close. Sorry na it's urgent talaga "
I rolled my eyes and bid my goodbye to him. Ano pa nga ba ang magagawa ko ? Hindi naman pwedeng hindi matuloy dahil naka set na ang plano. Bahala na mamaya !
Inis na tumayo ako sa kama at nag tungo sa banyo. Matapos maligo ay nag suot lang ako ng short at V-neck shirt. I went out of my apartment to buy a food. Kulang pa kasi ang gamit ko sa apartment dahil sa medyo gipit pa ako.
Habang nag lalakad ay napapaisip na ako sa magiging lakad namin ni Cloud mamaya.
"Haist ! Calla naman walang ibig sabihin yon okay ! Saka si Miggy talaga may kasalananan nito ! " Pakikipag usap ko sa sarile ko.
Why am I so affected about Cloud ? I mean he's my friend and we're close so why do I feel awkward whenever he's around.
O baka hindi lang talaga ako sanay dahil lumaki akong walang kaibigan. Ni mga pinsan ko nga ay hindi ko kilala.
Sa lalim ng iniisip ko ay hindi ko sinasadyang mabangga at matumba ang bike na nasa gilid ng daan.
I didn't even notice the beautiful motorcycle on the floor.
"Hala ka ! " I flinched. Agad akong lumpit sa Big bike na naka tumba sa daan kahit mabigat ay dahan dahan ko itong inangat at inayos and suddenly a man came running towards my direction and helped me up. "Salamat " I said and smile to him.
"You're welcome 1006 "
I frowned at him. 1006 ? Anong ibig sabihin non ? And as if he read my mind ay ngumiti ito at kumamot sa kilay.
"It's your Apartment number , I was resided in 1005 I tried to greet you the other day when i went out to jog but you kinda ignored me " He said and look away.
When did I ignored someone ?
Hello ! Calla , sa sobrang pag ka friendly mo wala kang kaibigan! - My mind said.
Well it's my step-mother's fault though. And ofcourse Tiffany was a big part of my miserable life.
"Really ? I-Im sorry about that " I said still hesitant. Hindi naman sa nag mamaganda ako , siguro naman kahit sino magugulat na may taong di mo kilala ang nakakaalam ng inuupahan mo.
"It's okay to be hesitant 1006. But trust me I'm not a bad guy , If I am I will sue you for breaking my bike " He said.
Nanlaki ang aking mata sa narinig ? Breaking his bike ? Sakanya to ? Pero OA naman parang nabagsak ---
"Putek ! " I gasped when i saw that the big bike i was talking about is a freaking ducati ! At ang masakit basag ang headlight nito!
Gaano ba kalakas pag kakabangga ko dito ?
"I'm really sorry , K-kung mag kano man ang pag papagawa sasagutin ko nalang " I said.
Gusto kong maiyak for christ sake it's a freaking ducati! Iilan lang ba ang taong may ganito sa pilipinas ? At isa pa ! Alam kong mahal ang aabutin kapag pinaayos ito.
"Bakit kasi dito pa pinarada ? " Naiiyak kong wika habang nakatingin sa ducati.
I heard him chuckled kayat nag angat ako ng tingin.
"I'm sorry if i park it here. I was about to go to a grocery store but i left my wallet so yeah "
Anak ng ! Anak ka ng sabon ! Napaka daldal mo talaga Calla ikaw na nga naka sira ikaw pa nagalit ! Gusto ko na talagang kaltokan ang sarile ko dahil sa kadaldalan.
"But don't worry I won't let you pay for this " He said and smile at me.
Nanlaki ang aking mata. For real ? As in totoo ba ? Kung totoo man pag palain nawa !
"For real !? " I giggled "I-Im sorry. Problemado na kasi ako kung paano ko mababayadan yan "
He chuckled and put his hands on his pocket.
"Don't worry . It's just a little scratch ? " Napangiwi pa siya sa huling sinabi. Well that is definitely not a scratch. "But i can handle it so it's fine"
"Salamat talaga ! Salamat talaga apartment 1005 ! " Masigla kong wika jusko ! Mabuti nalang talaga may mabait pang tao sa mundo .
"Call me Lance "
I chuckled. Yeah ! May pangalan nga naman siya , well to my perspective Lance is hunk with a handsome face. He was like a god from Olympus who roam the earth to find a woman who will carry his offspring! Well marami ang mag kakandarapang babae kung ganito kagwapo ang kaharap mo . I sighed and shook my head ! Hobby ko na talaga ang mag rate ng itsura ano po ?
"Seriously Lance. I'm really sorry and thank you " I said and sighed. I actually felt relieved.
"That's nothing Ms.1006 ---"
"Calla nalang " I said cutting his words.
"All right! Well see you around Calla" he said bago sumakay sa kanyang ducati and minutes later he speed away.
At ako naman ? Eto nag patuloy sa pag lalakad papunta sa malapit na Convenient store. Bumili lang ako ng cup noodles at kanin bago bumalik sa apartment.
When I'm done eating ay agad akong bumalik sa higaan sabay palakda sa aking kama. My eyes we're heavy and was about to give up when suddenly a loud knocked wake my sleepy head.
A groaned in frustration and standup! Lintik naman na buhay ito. Inis na nag lakad ako palabas ng kwarto.
"Sino yan !? " I said not hiding my irritation "Walang tao dito ! " Gigil kong wika at nag lakad oalapit sa pinto waiting for the response of the people outside.
"It's me!" Sigaw nito pabalik.
Padabog kong binuksan ang pinto just to see a not so good visitor infront of me !
"Ano nanaman bang ginagawa mo dito ? Wala pang linggo ! " Inis kong wika
"I know alright it's just that it's so sudden ! Akala moba gusto ko ding makita yang pag mumukha mo " Balik angil no Adam.
Kung legal lang talaga ang manakal malamang hinaltak kona ang leeg ng lalaking ito at pinag laruan.
"What do yoi want ? " I boredly said " Alam mo bang gusto kong matulog ng mataimtim ngayon ? Sabihin mona kung anong kailangan mo dahil nandidilim na ang paningin ko !" I said
He sighed and rolled his eyes. Leche talaga !
"I need you to accompany me tonight "
"I can't. May lakad ako ! " I boredly said bago siya iwang nakatayo sa labas ng pintuan ko. I never bothered asking him on how did he know my address cause I know that he's supportive bestfriend will definitely help him with his wicked plan.
"Babalik ka ng bundok ? "
Inis na kinuyom ko ang aking kamao. Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin at nag lakad palapit sa lamesa para kumuha ng maiinom.
Agad kong inilapag ang basong hawak ng tumunog ang cellphone kong di Keypad.
"Cloud ? " I answered him
"Please tell me na tuloy tayo mamaya " He said in a sad voice. Siguro ay nasabi na ni Miggy na hindi siya makakasama. I sighed nakakahiya namang hindi tumuloy.
"O-Oo naman" I awkwardly said "It's a date diba ? "
Ilang minuto din ang lumipas na nag uusap kami. And i was shocked when my door shut closed creating a very loud noise.
"Is everything okay ? " Coud asked with his worried voice " What is that ? "
"W-wala yung pusa nag dabog ! " Wala sa sarile kong wika " Sige na Cloud mamaya nalang "
Agad naman siyang sumangayon kayat binaba kona ang tawag. Lintik na Adam yan ang lakas ng topak aalis nalang may padabog pang kailangan ?
Jeez ! May sayad talaga sa ulo.

Alas singko na ng hapon nang matapos akong mag ayos. I just wear a very simple peach off-shoulder top and white rip jeans na pinarisan ko ng puti kong rubber shoes. Buti nalang talaga at napag pasiyahan kong bilhin itong off-shoulder na ito kung hindi ay wala akong panlakad ngayon.
When im settled ay lumabas na ako sa apartment. Sakto naman na nandoon na si Cloud at nag aabang. My cheeks redened when i saw woman's looking at the almighty Cloud leaning on his Ferrari wearing a black poloshirt whit Khaki short. Naka salamin pa ang loko na mas lalong nag pa gwapo dito.
"Hey ! " Cloud said and walked towards my direction.
Agad naman akong tumungo sa hiya. Lintik bakit ba nandito ireng mga babaitang ito ?
"H-hi " i awkwardly said and smile " k-kanina kapa ? "
"Not really " he said and look on his wrist watch " mga 10 minutes siguro"
Tumango tango nalang ako bago siya niyayang umalis na. Malapit na kasi kaming malusaw sa kinatatayuan namin.
"So , Where do you want to go ? " He asked.
Saan ba ? Kung nandito lang sana si Miggy edi sana di ako nahihirapan diba ?
"Kahit saan ? I really don't know Cloud " i said
"Okay , do you wanna watch a movie ? May bagong show ngayon ?"
A movie is a good thing too. Matagal nadin simula nung una kong makapanood sa sinehan.
"Ayos yon ! " I said cheerfully. I chuckled ganito naba ako kababaw ? Na maski mga simpleng bagay ay natutuwa ako.
I sighed and shrugged that thought off. You're better of without them Calla. Pwede mo nang gawin lahat ng gusto mo. No one will forbid you dor doing things you like. No one will control your life.
Agad akong mag angat ng ulo ng maalala ang mga iyon. That was in the past and i should move on. Malaya na ako pero bakit hindi ako masaya ?
Maybe because you loved them that much.
Yeah I definitely loved my step mom and sister. Kahit ni minsan ay hindi nila ako tinuring na kapamilya.
"Are you okay ? " Cloud whispered that sent me back to myself.
"Ayos lang. May naalala lang " i said at pilit na ngumiti.
Nag pasalamat nalang talaga ako ng hindi na muling nag tanong pa si Cloud.

"Hey bud ! " Lash said and path his shoulder " What's up ? "
Mahigpit ang hawak ni Adam sa baso. He's pissed for no reason!
Kanina pa siya naiirita at naiinis ng walang dahilan simula ng umalis siya sa apartment ni Calla.
"What's the problem ? "
Umiling iling lang si Adam bago muling lumagok sa iniinom.
"We've been friends since were kids Adam. I know if your pissed or not . So what makes you pissed ? "
He sighed. Lash really knew him well
"Where is your brother ? "
Lash sipped a liquor before answering him.
"He took a day off. And that's weird ! He never took one since he worked here."
Mas lalong sumiklab ang inis sa pag katao ni Adam , si.Cloud ba ang kasama ni Calla ngayon ? That woman choose Cloud over him !?
"Why did you asked ? "
"Nothing " Adam replied and pit out his phone. "It's me. Find Calla now ! "
"Wait is something going on ? "
"Your f*****g brother just took my girlfriend for a date ! " Gigilal na wika niya
Lash was just looking at him boredly.
"She was not your girlfriend Adam. She's your hired/Fake girlfriend."
Matalim na tinignan niya ang kaibigan na bigla nalang malakas na tumawa.
"Don't tell me your f*****g jealous Harris ? "
Hindi siya nakaimik at nag iwas ng tingin. He's what ? Nah ! Walang halaga sa kanya ang babaeng iyon !
"I-Im not ! " Mariin niyang wika " Paano kung malaman ni Abuela na mag kasama sila ? Paano na ang plano ko !? "
Lash chuckled and tapped his shoulder. Hindi talaga siya naniniwala na iyon ang dahilan.
