Nilapitan ako ni Rhea at Jen.

"JANINE!" All eyes were on me.

Damang-dama ko ang invisible tension sa pagitan ng mga tao dito. I wonder what happened while Daniel and I were away.

"Hey, ang dami namang artista dito. May shooting ba?" I managed to smile. Then I looked at Daniel. He's still looking at Kathryn. Ouch.

"Daniel, anak! Sabi mo 4 days ka lang mawawala. What happened? You turned off your phone, you refused to answer our calls. Ano bang nangyayari sa yo?" nilapitan si Daniel ng mama niya.

"I said, I need time to relax." sagot ni Daniel. Cold. Hindi siya ang Daniel na kasama ko for the past days, he was the same Daniel who arrived here at day 1.

"We worried a lot you know." sabi ng manager ni Daniel. "You stood up so many mall shows, at may pending guesting ka pa sa KrisTV with Kathryn and Enrique!"

I was just watching them.

"Girl, san ba kayo nanggaling ni Sir?" Rhea whispered to me. Pero hindi ko kayang sumagot. Not with all these people around us.

"So? Kayo narin ang nagsabi. I need to take a rest. Kath can go without me." sabi ni Daniel, still not taking his eyes off Kath and Enrique. Lumapit si Kath kay Daniel.

"Alam mo, kung nagpapamiss ka lang, successful ka! Namiss kita! Kaya pwede ba wag ka nang magdrama diyan!" sabi ni Kathryn, with her usual inis-but-kilig to Daniel tone.

Daniel glanced at me. And my heart stopped.

"Hindi ko kasalanan kung namiss mo ako! Ang lovable ko lang kasi talaga sa paningin ng lahat." sabi ni Daniel. Everybody laughed, and the tension eased. Except for me.

"Janine, inaanak! Hindi mo man lang ba iwewelcome back si Ninong?" sabi ni Ninong. All eyes were on me again. Lumapit ako kay ninong and hugged him.

"Welcome back ninong!" hinug back din naman ako ni ninong with a pat on my back.

"Don't get affected Janine, Rhea and Jen told me a part of you and Daniel." he whispered habang nakahug sa akin. Gusto kong umiyak, for a reason na hindi ko naman alam. Gusto ko lang umiyak.

Na-feel ko ring may ibang nagpat ng back ko. And when I looked, it was Enrique.
