Four years later.
Disappointment.
Akala ni Chase eto na, he came all the way from Spain just to see her, for the second time.
Pero it seems like she didn't came.
Niloko niya lang ba to?
Is he officially ghosted?
Did she do this to give me a dose of my own medicine? Yun ba yon?
"Chase???" isang pamilyar na boses ang tumawag sakanya.
"Uy, Ten!" anito sabay yakap sa isa't-isa.
"Bakit ka nandito bro? Bakit mo kami di sinabihan?" tanong nito sakanya.
"Nah, I came here to meet someone... for business, alam mo na, for dad," ani Chase.
"Ah ganun ba? Asan na siya?"
"Di sumipot eh," ani Chase tsaka nagkibit balikat.
"Ganun ba? Sige, kung di ka busy, sa tambayan muna tayo, andun si Yam at Collin," ani Ten.
"Sige," sagot naman ni Chase tsaka lumabas ng restaurant.
Chase forced his mind to divert its attention to other things.
"Nga pala bro, malapit na maggraduate ang karamihan saatin," ani Ten.
"Oo nga eh, pero review ako agad bro," ani Chase.
"Ay oo nga pala, di pa tayo makapagenjoy ng lubusan," tawa ni Ten.
"Convoy na tayo bro, dala ko kasi car ko eh," Chase said at tumango lang si Ten.
——
Pagdating nila sa tambayan, isang gulat ni Yam ang sumalubong sakanya.
"Chase??? Andito ka pala??? Kelan pa??" tanong ni Yam na gulat parin.
"May imemeet sana siya kaso di daw sumipot eh," ani Ten.
"May kadate ka bro? Hanep ah!" ani Yam na ikinatawa niya.
He missed this, he has friends in Spain pero hindi katulad ng 10 Thorns, they're brothers. Family.
"Hindi siraulo, para sa business," he lied.
Ayaw niyang sabihin sakanila na this is the second time na hindi siya sinipot ni Ara.
He could've gone to Canada where she is, but she insisted that they meet here in the Philippines.
At eto namang uto-utong si Chase, sinunod naman ang sabi ni Ara.
Is this just a game? For her own entertainment?
Fine, so be it.
