Chapter 10

Pagkadating ko sa condo, agad-agad kong inilabas iyong punit-punit na poster. Noong nabuo ko na using the scotch tape, there's something familiar sa mga mukha ng mga nasa band. Parang namumukhaan ko sila but I'm not sure. It can't be.

Page is not that type na tatahak sa show business naman eh, even Ken and Ulrich. Hindi sila iyong nasa poster, one is missing though, Damian is not in the poster.

*Riiiiiing

"Hello. Who is this"?

[This is Agnes po ma'am.]

"Oh I see. Agnes, iyong kanang kamay ni mom sa condo na ito."

[May sulat po kayo ma'am. Magpapaalam lang po ako at pupuntahan ko po kayo ma'am para ibigay itong sulat.]

"Sure. Sure"

Sulat? How old-fashioned? It's definitely not from my mom kase katatawag niya lang kahapon and absolutely not from my dad too!

Iniabot na ni Miss Agnes iyong sulat.

Pagkabukas ko.

Oh my God. Ang nakasulat,

"...I know where you are. Thank God..."

Goodness gracious! Sino kaya 'to?

Nakakatakot ang dating.

I promise, I'll stay inside the house tomorrow. Hinding-hindi ako lalabas.

Hindi talaga ako lumabas. Nagdonate na lang ako ng pera sa simbahan. It saddens me kase, never pa akong nag-absent sa church!

 

MONDAY...

I didn't bring my car na naman kaya feeling ko, sa second period na ang bagsak ko. Napakaaga ko naman for the second period.

Pagkadating ko sa class namen, I'm fortunate kase wala pa si prof ko sa first period.

Pagkaupo ko, lumapit si James. He's a good-looking pal but not my type.

"Hey Kaylie, do me a favor."- James

"What?!"

"Accept my invitation, here." Kinuha ko iyong iniabot niyang envelope. "Be there, it'll be tonight. You know, you're important to me even though you rejected my love for you earlier."

Naawa ako kaya, "Alright, alright, I'll be there."
