Hindi ko alam kung sinong nagtulak sa akin magcompose ng reply pero narealize ko na huli na nang masend na iyon.

And good Lord, he immediately saw it!

Ste Fan
do you know how creepy what ur doing to me?

It sounds like I'm rude but how am I supposed to act then? I don't know him, I only saw him once, he sent me a food, sending messages, liking my posts etc.! And on top of that, hindi ko nga siya kilala!

Ni hindi ko nga sigurado if Trent is really his name, e!

Trent Allsen
Gusto ko lang naman na mag reply ka sa akin.. is that too much to ask?

"Reply? Hindi nga kita kilala," bulong ko sa sarili at pinagsalikop na lang ang phone sa dalawang palad.

I ignored him and tried to focus on what is happening in front of us.

When everyone claps, I do the same thing.

When everyone stand up, I do the same thing, too.

Akala ko okay na, I thought this will really, at least, run smoothly when my phone beeped again.

Agad-agad ko iyon binuksan, kasi baka si Mama or Lola ko lang iyon but the fucking Trent again!

Trent Allsen sent a photo.

Just like the last time, it's a picture of him inside his car. Wearing gray bonet and white long sleeves polo and casually smiling for the camera.

But now, he has no mask under his chin.

Wow. Now you're starting to compliment him, Stefan? Wow!

Ste Fan
stop sending me like that.

Trent Allsen
I will when you introduce yourself to me na

Giving up, I shut down my phone na lang dahil talagang... hindi ko mapaliwanag! Kung katabi ko lang si Nale... oh.. hindi rin siya makakatulong once malaman niya na... there's a guy who is obviously hitting on me.

Mas lalalo ang sitwasyon kung katabi ko siya.

Maybe I did the right decision because when my name was called for having flying colors, nawala na siya sa isipan ko.

After that, all I did was to celebrate and also.. cry because tapos na nga kami pero.. we will start to take a path away from each other.

We did a photo shoot kahit na namumula ang mga mata namin. My jaw felt jumb from smiling for different pictures but the pain I felt today and the happiness.. is invaluable.

Something that I will treasure for the rest of my life.

"Hijo, hayaan ka muna namin na manatili para i-enjoy ang nangyari, sunod ka na lang sa bahay."

Tears formed in my eyes as Lola hugged me again. She didn't say anything but gah... it's really making me emotional.

Mama said the same thing and I agreed to them. Sinabi ko na susunod din akong uuwi kapag natapos na kami rito. They bring the certificate but my medals are still with me.

Pinanood ko muna sila na mawala at dapat babalik na ako sa mga kaklase ko nang mapansin ko ang pamilyar na figure papasok sa venue.

I was about to ignore it because it might be a late visitor but.. "Trent?!" sigaw ko sa sarili nang makilala kung sino nga iyon!

He's wearing the same one from what he sent and now, he's wearing a mask! To hide?! I don't know!

One second and our gazes met. Kahit may mask, his eyes squinted because he smiled behind the surgical mask.
