Noong matapos na ang lahat ng gagawin ko sa araw na 'to, nagpaalam na rin ako sa mga kasama ko para umalis. Pagod na pagod ako. I need to go home right away and take some rest.

And well, as promised to myself, hindi ko na nga ulit kinausap si Jordan. I ignored all of his messages asking me to go back to his room. I just texted him once, saying that I'll be really busy so I couldn't attend to his needs anymore. Hindi siya naniwala at sinabing iniiwasan ko lang siya kaya tuluyan ko na ngang inignora lahat ng chats at texts niya sa akin.

I need some peace of mind while I finish my internship and I know talking to him would lead me no good. I'd be robbed of that peace that I greatly want and I don't want that to happen.

I texted Laya telling her that I'll be home soon. She just told me to take care and that she'll be home late. Sa isang buwan na ang birthday celebration ni Dylan kaya mas lalo pa silang naging busy ngayon. Hindi ko nga alam kung makakapunta ba ako ro'n. Well, I hope so. Sana makapunta ako at kahit makinood na lang.

Kahit iyon na lang kung talagang hindi na maaayos ang pagkakaibigan naming dalawa. Kung talagang dito na nagtatapos ang koneksiyon naming dalawa, then I'll let it be. I'm just really grateful that I became a part of his year and of his life even just for a short while. Okay na 'yon. Hindi na ako dapat pang magreklamo when everyone else out there wanted to be in my position.

Noong makalabas ako, I saw how the people are so busy with their own lives. Paroo't parito ang lahat. I couldn't even distinguish the various emotions on their faces. Well, how could I when I was also taking care of my own?

I just heaved a deep breathe. Let's strive to go home and let's make it fast. I just really wanna lie on my bed and drift to sleep. Kahit hindi na ako makakain. Tulog lang talaga ang kailangan ko ngayon.

"Sakay." Napatingin ako sa nagsalita and was surprised to see Dylan. He was on his car and he was just in front of me. Nakababa rin ang bintana ng sasakyan niya that it made me cautious of the surroundings. Someone might recognize him here!

"Ayusin mo nga ang---" Hindi ko na natapos ang sinasabi ko dahil muli siyang nagsalita. This time, nakatingin na siya sa akin and men, that was not just a simple look. It was a glare. Again. Aba, namumuro na ang taong 'to kakatingin nang masama sa akin ah. Hindi na ako natutuwa.

"Sakay at mag-uusap tayo," anito sa akin.

"Just go home. I'm not talking to you," tugon ko at nagbalak na umalis na saka iwanan siya rito. But who was I kidding? He has a car and I'm just on foot. Kahit umalis ako rito ngayon, mabilis niya rin naman akong mahahabol. Tsk, Isabelle.

You're really out of your mind right now.

"Too much of this childish hide and seek game, Isabelle. I'm taking you to my condo at mag-uusap tayong dalawa ngayon."

"Puwede ba, Dylan? I need some rest. Pakiusap naman, tigilan mo muna ako."

"Sasakay ka o ako mismo ang bababa ngayon para isakay ka sa kotse ko?"
