Jeremiah’s POV
“Jeremiah!”I saw kuya Jav and ate Ave. so I ran to them. I gave ate Ave a long tight hug.
“Ako kaya ang kapatid mo, hindi siya”
“Stop frowning, hindi bagay sa ‘yo”I replied. He just laughed unil kuya Jordan came.
“I’m finally home!”
“After three years!”Kuya Jav said. Yeah, it’s been three years since the last time we came here.
“Tara,”and they are talking about such things that I can’t understand.
“How was your flight?”ate Ave asked.
“I’m tired”I answered.
“Kinausap mo na ba ‘yung pupuntahan ni Jeremiah dito?”kuya Jordan asked ate Ave.
They are talking about Demi. I am nervous, but quite excited. I don’t know what to feel right now. Hindi pa kami naguusap ni Demi, she’s not replying to my messages. Hindi niya rin alam na nandito ako. I’m scared to see her if she's with Jeremy, ayoko makita silang dalawa na magkasama.
I am facing the reality and I think this is not a good idea.
“She’s not replying to my messages, pero sabi sa akin ng mommy niya nasa bahay naman daw siya”sagot ni ate Ave. I just want to know if she’s okay. Iyon naman ang importante do’n.
“Didiretcho na ba tayo sa bahay nila Demi?”kuya Jav asked me.
I looked at kuya Jordan. He just smiled at me.
“Ikaw bahala”sagot niya sa akin.
“No, I wanna rest first”I answered.
Hindi ko rin kasi alam kung anong sasabihin ko kapag nagkita kaming dalawa. Should I say hi first? Should I hug her because I miss her so much? Should I bring her flowers? Chocolates? Or both?
Damn this love.
Hindi ko inaasahan na aabot ako sa punto na uuwi ako ng Pilipinas para sa isang babae.
“Bukas mo na lang puntahan si Demi, sasamahan kita”ate Ave said then I nodded.
“I want to ask something, ate Ave”I hate this silence, it’s killing me.
“Ano ‘yon?”she asked.
“Sina Jeremy at Demi? Hindi naman sila nagkabalikan, ‘di ba?”I asked.
I don’t wanna hurt myself, but that’s the only way to save my heart...
“Hindi,”she smiled at me, I nodded.
Buti naman. It’s better to be sure than to hurt my own damn heart. When we got home, I went to my room. I missed this room. I laid on my bed while scrolling at Demi’s Instagram account.
I’m so close to you, Demi. Finally, hindi lang kita sa screen makikita. Mahahawkan na rin kita. Nandito na ako. Magkikita na tayo.
“If you’re starving, let me know”kuya Jordan entered my room to get some stuff inside my bathroom. And I’m still looking at Demi’s picture.
“Baka matunaw ‘yan”I smiled.
He laughed. “You should go now if you really want to see her"
I shrugged. “Should I?”
He nodded. “Sayang kaya ang oras!”
“What if she doesn’t want to see me? What if she’s with Jeremy? I hate seeing her with someone else”I explained. Tinawanan niya lang ako.
