First day of the month November and I'm here in our house in Manila. I want to see Darko.

We don't have anything to do here but Darko is in Pampanga with his brother. They're probably visiting their parents. I am sad that I can't be with him right now.

We texted every day and see each other every Sunday. I watch myself fall for him. I didn't stop my feeling and I couldn't.

"What's your plan after you graduate?" Tanong ni kuya Joseph dahil narito siya ngayon.

Mom and Dad are not here, working again. Nothing's new here.

Kami lang tatlo nila Kuya Adam at Joseph ang nandito. Babalik din daw agad si Kuya Adam dahil may kailangan pang ayusin.

"I will study more while I'm teaching," I answered.

"Why did you leave the house?"

He sighed, "I don't want to be controlled, Heaven,"

"I left the house and I didn't regret it," Pain crossed his eyes.

"I met someone and that someone became my home," He whispered with a smile, "And now, I'm looking for her,"

"Who is she?"

"You'll know her soon,"

What does that mean? I trust Kuya Joseph and I hope he finds her soon.

Kuya Adam went back to Pampanga at night, he said that he has things to work on. Kuya Joseph said that he wants to visit tito and he'll drive me there tomorrow morning.

Darko and I talked a little at night but it ended sooner than I expected because he said he's tired.



I felt agitated while Kuya Joseph is driving. Ang bilis niyang magpatakbo.

Nickname niya lang ang Joseph dahil Josniel Xephier talaga ang pangalan niya.

"Adam told me that he went there to look for you,"

"I want to meet your boy," Dagdag niya at liningon ako.

"He's already 24, kuya. Magkasing edad lang sila ni kuya Adam," I said to stop him from saying 'boy'.

It irritates me, I'm usually calm but things changed when it comes to Darko.

"Where did you met him? I'm just 1 year older!" Aniya at mukhang nagulat sa edad ni Darko.

"You're still young, is that your sugar dad?" Natatawa niyang biro.

Hindi na ako sumagot at umayos na lang ng upo. Inayos ko pa ang black leggings ko para pantayin.

Kuya Joseph's car is clean, I guess it natural for a man to be clean. Though, I'm not sure if it's still a boy. There's a big difference between a man and a boy.


Nagpahinga muna ako at tinext si Darko na nakarating na kami.

I want him to be my boyfriend already and I'm planning to say it later when he comes here. I missed him already.

He's keeping his boundaries and we didn't do it since he started courting me. It's been months already and all he did was to eat me.

I wanted to return the favor but every time I'm offering, he'll jut sleep. I guess he doesn't want that. But what about what Hazel said? Never mind.
