"Ditto Kief. I love you too..."
~MIKA
Hindi ko na halos namalayan kung gaano kami katagal magkayakap ni Kiefer. At this exact moment, it just felt right to hug him.
I'm not really a cheeseball kind of girl and besides, I have never experienced being attached to anybody else, a guy for that matter.
This is all new to me but it felt really good.
Nang magbitaw kami ni Kiefer sa pagkakayakap, ngumiti siya sa akin at inabutan ako ng isang balot na chocnut.
"How did you know I love chocnut?" I was laughing while I asked him.
"Well, honestly, I didn't really know. Suntok sa buwan na lang ang pagdala ko niyan. That is actually Dani's."
"Are you serious? Gusto mo bang lalo akong patayin nung kapatid mo?"
"You see Miks, I know na madami kayong similarities ng kapatid ko. Alam kong magkakasundo kayo sa totoo lang. Someone just really have to give in." sabi ni Kiefer sa akin na napapakamot ng ulo.
Alam ko naman na nahihirapan siya sa sitwasyon namin ng kapatid niya. Who wouldn't be? Blood will always always be thicker than water.
"Kief, I won't promise you anything, but I really want to reach out. Hanggang kaya ko, I will. I want to be friends with your sister."
Kiefer smiled at me and touched my right cheek.
"You're going to be the best of friends kapag naging okay kayo. Maniwala ka sa akin. You see, I see her traits in you as well."
"Stubborn din?" I asked him laughing.
Hindi na namin namalayan ang oras dahil sa sarap ng kwentuhan hanggang marinig kong tumunog ang intercom sa library.
I answered it and mama told me na its late already. I told her 5 minutes na lang at papasok na ako.
She asked me to tell Kiefer na hindi na daw niya ito mahaharap dahil may mud pack pa siya sa mukha at pipino sa mga mata.
Si mama talaga.
I told Kiefer na its late already and I wouldn't want his family to worry. Sinabe ko sa kanya na pwede naman kaming magkita ulit bukas after our classes at hindi na lang ako magdadala ng sasakyan and will just ask the driver to bring me to school.
He agreed to fetch me tomorrow afternoon.

It's exactly 11:30 in the morning and my classes has already ended. Since hapon pa naman ang kasunod na training namin, I decided na tumambay muna sa dorm.
Ara, Kim and Des were all there. Wala na din silang mga klase at nagpapalipas na lang ng oras. Naghihintay na lang din ng training para mamayang hapon.
We decided to watch The Walking Dead first since natapos na daw ni Kimmy i download ang latest episode.
Kianna came barging in habang mga nakasalampak na kami sa sahig.
"Guys! Please, I need your help." pagmamakaawa niya sa amin.
"O anong problema?" asked Des na halatang naiinip na at gusto nang simulan ang panonood.
"May kailangan kasi ako ihatid sa kapatid ko sa school. Hindi madadala ni mama kasi may important meeting. Tapos si papa naman out of town. Ako lang pwede magbitbit e."
"E paano ka naman namin matutulungan?" this time, si Kimmy naman ang nagtanong.
Si Ara, busy pa din sa cellphone niya na kanina pa hawak hawak. Tinitignan lang si Kianna everytime magsasalita ito at balik na naman sa telepono after.
