They just finished making love when she saw him went to the balcony of her condo. Nakatingin lang ito sa kawalan. Tila malalim ang iniisip. Sinuot niya ang robe and decided to follow him…
Mikay: Hey, are you okay?
Nilingon siya nito. Then, he smiled.
Gino: Yeah, I’m fine… Kala ko tulog ka na…
Mikay: Hindi pa ko inaantok eh… Ikaw, bakit ‘di ka pa matulog?
Gino: Just having some thoughts…
Mikay: Let me guess, tungkol sa trabaho noh?
Umiling ito at tumingin muli sa labas.
Gino: I’m actually thinking about you…
Mikay: About me? Why? What about me?
Gino: Wala naman… Just random stuffs…
Na-curious siya bigla…
Mikay: Like?
Gino: Like… you not leaving this place… and just living alone here…
Mikay: Ahh… ‘Yun ba?... Siguro I just don’t see any reason why I need to leave this place… And me living alone here… Well, it’s not like I have a choice, right?
Sinabi niya ‘yon in a factual manner. ‘Yung walang halong sumbat.
Gino: It must be hard for you…
Mikay: Sa una, mahirap. But eventually, nakayanan din…
Hindi nanaman niya mabasa ang emosyong nasa mukha nito.
Gino: So basically… You do everything here?
Mikay: Yup! I do the laundry, ako naglilinis, nagluluto… everything… Lalo na nung nagsisimula pa lang ako sa showbiz… I also have to think of the bills and stuffs…
Hindi pa rin ito tumitingin sa kanya.
Gino: And… you eat alone?
Dahil sa sinabi nito ay naalala niya kung gaano kasakit niyang hinarap ang hapag–kainan nang wala na itong kasabay niya.
Mikay: … Yeah…. I eat alone… Kung minsan, sinasamahan ako ni Mike. But most of the time, I just eat alone… Sanayan lang naman eh…
Nagtataka na siya kung bakit ganun ang mga klase ng tanong nito.
Gino: I thought you’re gonna be with him…
Alam niyang si Jao ang tinutukoy nito. Magpapaliwanag ba siya o sasakyan na lang niya ang tanong?…
Mikay: Let’s just put it this way… If I’m gonna tell you that me and him have never been together, would you believe me?
Lumingon ito sa kanya.
Gino: No…
She smiled.
Mikay: See… So, what’s the point, right? Ang mahalaga kung anong meron tayo ngayon…
Lumapit na siya dito at inilalapit ang mukha niya sa mukha nito.
Gino: And what do we have now?
Tinitigan niya ito ng malagkit.
Mikay: Just you and me… and an experience… we will never forget…
