Tanghali na nang magising ako and I don't know if there are anything strange happened last night that made some changes towards the people around us. I mean, Matt and Jac are happily speaking each company's side. Iris and Kean, they're well, I guess? Chezca, she seems so... I don't know. Basta, galing siya sa labas. Ano bang nilalabas niya roon? Simula nang dumating kami rito, palabas-labas na 'yan. Si Cara, she looks pissed, and Diane….
“Oh, my! Are you okay?” Agad ko siyang inalalayan papunta sa kusina nang makita kong muntik na siyang matumba at hindi makalakad nang maayos.
“I'm o–okay,” she uttered.
I frowned after hearing the tone of her voice. Para itong tensed na nagulat na natatakot na may tinatago. Basta, gan'on, alam niyo na 'yon.
“Bakit ka sumisigaw?”
“Huh? Ako? Hi–Hindi ah,” tensed na sagot niya.
Hindi raw, sige, but the fact that we're too close for her to speak louder than enough is unacceptable. She can't fool me, I'm not a kid kaya alam ko kung ano at paano siya mag-react ngayon. She looks frightened after seeing me. I mean, after knowing to herself that I noticed her.
“Okay,” sabi ko saka tumango-tango na lang.
I wonder why the hell is she acting strange. She is not like this.
“God!” she muttered like stressed after we reach the kitchen.
Umupo siya sa isang stool habang ako naman ay kumuha ng tubig.
“Here.” Inabutan ko siya ng isang basong tubig.
“Thanks,” she mumbled before drinking.
Now, she's almost voiceless?
“Ano bang nangyari sa'yo?” I asked while standing in front of her.
“Wala, masakit lang 'yung ano ko....”
“What? 'Yung ano?” tanong ko sa kaniya out of curiosity and impatience.
I look at her face as if I am reading her expression and my eyes widen in realization of one thing, “Don't tell me, hin—”
“Mumsh, kumain ka na muna!” she cut me off.
Lalo namang kumunot ang noo ko. Something is really up.
“Oh, you'll love what Iris had cooked. Thanks for the water,” she said as she tried walking away as quick as she could.
“What happened to her?” I asked myself.
I watch her walk out of the kitchen and my eyes fell on her butt and thighs. It looks…. Is it possible that she's no longer a... but with who? When — Oh, boy!
“Babe, you're awake.” Matt pulled me for a kiss.
“Why are you so serious? What's bugging you?” he asks as he, I mean when we both noticed that my mind was not with me.
“Wala, si Diane kasi. Anyway, have you all eaten?” I asked back.
“Yep, and you, Miss Fortalejo, you should be eating right now. Unless…,” he said as his eyes fell meaningful to something which is I know, inappropriate at this moment.
I'll chuckled before saying, “I'll eat na, puro ka kalokohan.”
“Sit here,” he said, pulling out a chair for me. “I'll serve my queen.”
Am I allowed to scream? He's making me blush, ang landi niya talaga.
“By the way, babe, Jac and I have talked,” he opened up while preparing my meal. “You know what, I guess he's alright and contented. He said, he thinks he moved on, and I also think that he is. He's blooming differently today. Mukhang nauntog kagabi eh, hahaha! Sa kama.”
