“Caroline, can we go home? My brother texted me. He said I need to go to the coffee shop. I guess something came up.” I told Caroline while she was busy watching the models.

“Oh! Okey. I’ll just call Raphael to pick you. I still need to talk to Faye.” and then she called him.

“Thanks cassanova. Be here now, she really needs to go to there shop. As fast, please. Thanks again.” so sweet of her. “Done! He will be here, any minute now.”

“Okey. Oh! Where’s Zio? I need to thank him for his company.”

“I think he went outside…”

“Yeah, maybe. Please, if you see him again. Please thank him for me. He was so nice to me and oh… about his proposal? I might accept it… in time.” I told her and then smile.

“Sure. I will tell him. I think Raphael is here.”

“So, I will go now? I can see him already. Bye, thanks for what you’ve done.” sabay ikot at hawak sa dress na suot ko.

“Anything for you sweetie. Anything…”

I kissed her in the cheeks and then I left her. I was walking out of the hall when I see Iñigo.

“Hey.! Thanks for fetching me. And sorry… Did I disturb you? Again?” tanong ko.

“No, not at all. Shall we?” sabay bukas ng pintuan ng kotse nya.

“Di ko alam, gentleman ka pala.” then smile.

Umikot na sya ng hindi man lang sinasagot ang tanong ko. Bad trip siguro, inisip ko na lang.

Patungo kami sa bahay, walang imikan. I feel something’s not just right. Parang malaki ang problema ng taong nasa tabi ko. Eh. dakilang chismosa, kaya nagtanong ako.

“Something’s bothering you? Wanna share?”

“You don’t have to know it. I am fine.” sagot nya lang.

“Hindi naman kita tinatanong kung okey ka. Ang tanong ko, may problema bah. Oo at hindi lang naman ang sagot dun ah.” sabay simangot at tingin sa labas ng kotse. Patay, sumobra yata ang nasabi ko. Baka mas lalong magalit ‘to.

“Yeah. But as what I’ve said a while ago. You don’t need to know.”

“Okey, hindi kita pipilitin. Tignan na’tin kaninong laway ang mapanis.” irap ulit at tingin sa labas.
