Narration Ahead///

Demi laughed sweetly as Kaichi licked her face while she was holding her. Such a lovely kitten.

She is busy playing with Kaichi while the others have their own worlds. Her cousins ​​arrived yesterday at about six o'clock in the evening and told them that they will spend Christmas with them, after all their parents are in another country because most of her relatives are working in abroad.

"Ah! Stop na."

She laughed more when Kaichi meowed at her. Mahina pa ito dahil siguro wala pa itong isang buwan.

She shook her head. After a while, she saw one of her cousins walking towards her, Lucas raised his right hand and she clearly saw the cellphone he was holding. Her cellphone. Wait she forgot it?

Inilapag ni Lucas ang cellphone nya sa lamesa at nagsalita. "May nagtext sayo. Nakita ko lang 'yan sa glass table sa living room." Sinulyapan pa nito si Kaichi bago tumalikod at naglakad paalis.

"Thank you!" She shouted praying that he will hear her.

Iniupo nya si Kaichi sa ibabaw ng hita nya at kinuha ang cellphone. Pagbukas nya nito ay nakita nya ang missed calls at messages galing sa isang tao.

Isa-isa nya itong binasa.

Klein 💫:
I want to talk to you, to clear things out.

I'll go there. Let's talk.

She couldn't believe him, like he suddenly disappeared out of nowhere and now wanting to talk to her, at pupunta pa rito sa bahay nila sa Nueva Ecija?!

But she misses him too. She doesn't know why out of all the possible emotions she can feel. Excitement is heavier than her other emotions?

Why?

She took a deep breath before she replied.

Demi 🌠:
Alright, I'll just wait for you. Text me whe you're outside. Ingat sa pag-drive.

Klein 💫:
Can i call? I just want to hear your voice. I promise to be careful while driving. please.

Namula sya sa nireply nito pero agad din na nagtipa ng irereply nya dito.

Demi 🌠:
Wow demanding.

Klein 💫:
hahahahahaha.

Klein 💫:
Please?

Demi 🌠:
Fine.

Ilang minuto ang inabot nila sa paguusap at sya na rin ang nag end ng call nila, hanggang sa marinig nalang ni Demi ang busina sa labas ng bahay nila. Pumasok din sa loob ng kusina ang isa pa niyang pinsan na si Alyssa.

"Someone's outside. Hinahanap ka." Sabi ni Alyssa sa kanya.

Agad syang tumayo at sinundan ito palabas ng bahay. Naiwan si Kaichi na mukang natutulog.

May itim na van ang nakaparada sa harap ng kanilang bahay, halatang bago lang dahil wala pang mga gasgas. Ang mga pinsan nya ay nasa labas din at mukang makikichismis kung sino ang sakay nito.

Naglakad sya palapit sa gate at binuksan ang pinto. Nakita nya ang lalaking kanina ay kausap nya lang na nakatayo sa gilid ng van nito.

Sya lang ba? Wala syang kasama? Hindi nya mapigilang tanong sa sarili.

She relaxed her self secretly dahil kanina pa ito hindi mahinto sa pagkabog nang malakas. Hindi nya alam kung kinakabahan sya o ano.

Internet didn't lie. He looks perfect while standing beside his van.
