A/N: omg! We are already half way waaaahhhhh
——
Chase immediately lays down his bed.
He has so many thoughts, he doesn't know which one he'll believe.
Basta ang alam niya, nakita niya ang dalawa, malinaw na malinaw, sila iyon, and he doesn't know what he wants to do or to think.
Chase's mind is in a mess right now. Sobrang magulo, he just wants to punch a wall.
He grabs his phone and texts Ara.
Where are you?
Seconds later, she replies.
Still at home, need anything?
His anger reaches peak.
Nothing, just checked.
You want to play me like this?
It's your mistake, you choose to play me in a game I'm good at, outstanding even. Makikita mo.
Makikita niyo.

"So, nagawa niyo na ba?," tanong nito at sabay tumango ang dalawa.
"Good, anytime now, they'll fight and I'll come to the picture," anito.

Nasa taxi na si Maris noong may nakuha siyang email.
This is the information I promised you, hindi pa full ito, dahil di pa tapos ang kailangan mong gawin. Enjoy.
Binasa niya ang mga sumunod na impormasyon na parehong ikinagulat at ikinagalit niya.
Ganun ba nila ako ka-ayaw na hindi totoo ang pangalang finillup nila? Ganun ba nila ako kaayaw?
Ang laman ng email ay ang impormasyon na ang pangalan ng akala niyang totoong magulang niya ay peke, hindi ito totoo. Bakit nila ito ginawa? Dahil ayaw nila sakin? Para di ko sila mahanap?

Galit na galit parin si Chase, he's stuck between wanting to confront them and wanting to stay quiet and get even so they'll get a dose of their own medicine.
Lumabas si Chase at pumunta sakanyang sasakyan.
Pinaharurot niya ito sa lumang playground.
Kung asan siya dinadala ng kanyang nanay noon.
He needs to calm himself down. He badly needs it.
Umupo ito sa lumang swing.
Sa dami ng iniisip niya, hindi niya namalayang may umupo na pala sa isa pang swing sa tabi niya.
"Long time no see," aniya.
"A-Aileen?," maririnig ang gulat sa tono ni Chase.
"It's good you still know me, pero I assume na, uhm, you're still mad at me?,"
Nagkibit balikat lang si Chase, because to be honest, he doesn't even know if he's still mad at her too.
But he knows that he doesn't want to make Aileen go away, he needs someone right now, a companion so he won't feel lonely, at least.
"You look sad, what's bothering you?,"
"Ara," maikling sagot ni Chase.
"You're girlfriend? Bakit naman? You seem happy, the both of you,"
"That's what I thought too, but it seems hindi na pala siya masaya sakin," ani Chase sabay tingin sa baba.
"How come?," asks Aileen in a more serious and sincere tone.
"I saw her with Hart, a couple times already," he said.
"Tapos? Yun lang? Chase, don't assume things, it can kill, why not confront them? Or ask for explanations?,"
"Ewan ko, I think I'm not ready for answers yet, I'm too scared. Too scared to know that her love faded, ayoko marinig iyon, heck, baka ikamatay ko,"
"Chase, at times like this, there won't be any other guarantee than each other's honesty, alalahanin mo iyon, but, it's always up to you, I'm always here though, if you need someone to talk to, I'll go ahead, I'm needed somewhere,"
"Sige, salamat,"
"Sure, no problem, it's a good conversation naman, bye,"
Tinignan niya lamang si Aileen hanggang humarurot ang sasakyan nito.
She changed. Ibang iba na siya, she seems more genuine, that she ever did.
——
Hart is in a mess right now, he drank bottles and bottles of alcohol but his mind seemed to speak for one person, and one person only.
Her.
Siya lang ang sinisigaw ng puso't isip niya.
Is this some sort of curse?
He fell for her, kahit sila pa ni Chase, hindi nagbago ang pagtingin nito sakanya.
He tried to move on, he tried. God knows he did so hard.
Pero wala eh, sakanya parin ang bagsak niya.
Now, Rachel cries often, she texted him often too, pero ayaw niyang masaktan ito lalo.
He used her. And he's guilty as hell, pero wala na siyang magagawa.
It's all done. He'll explain himself to everyone kapag plantsado na lahat.
Sasabihin niya ang totoo, mula sa simula.
Pero ngayon, he only thinks of one goal, for her to be his.
