"Whatever. Iiwan ko na lang 'to rito."

Yumuko siya at umaktong ilalapag ang cam-corder sa sahig kaya pinigilan ko.

"Hoy, ano ba! Tsk! O'sige na! Akin na!" sabay hablot nito mula sa kanya. Mahirap na! Baka maabutan 'to ni papa rito at panoorin niya ang laman!

Umirap ako, iritado.

"Umalis ka na nga!"

He smirked as if he just won a battle. There goes his usual smirk! Anong akala niya? Na ayos na lahat?

"Am I forgiven?"

I made a face.

"Hindi!"

And then I shut the door in front of his face. Hah! Magdusa siya! Papatawarin ko rin naman siya eventually pero sa ngayon, magdusa muna siya sa sitwasyon nila ni Care.

Not long after, Tresh decided to leave. Hindi na siya nangulit pa. Pagpasok ko sa kwarto ay narinig ko pa ang busina ng sasakyan niya, tila sinasabi sa'kin na aalis na siya.

Meanwhile, I placed the cam-corder on my bed-side table before laying on my bed. Tinitigan ko 'to.

Tingnan mo nga naman. Isinoli ko na't lahat, pero sa huli, babalik at babalik pa rin pala sa dati nitong pwesto.

I drew my breath. Should I really check it out?

Para saan pa, Gal?

Uhm... para makita ko kung marami ba akong haggard moments do'n?

O, para makita ko kung maayos ba ang pagkakavideo nang sa ganoon ay makumbinse ko na ang sariling gumawa ng sariling YouTube channel? Kasi baka vlogging talaga ang nakalaan para sa'kin. Mag-vlogger na lang ako.

Ugh. Pero seryoso nga. Para saan?

I spent about half an hour just making up my mind. In the end, I decided to watch it. I mean, ano naman kung panoorin ko nga? Wala namang magbabago.

I grabbed the cam-corder from the table and pushed the 'On' button. Dumiretso ako sa content at tumigil sa pinakaunang video na kinuha namin. Gusto kong panoorin mula sa simula.

I started watching it. At first, I thought it was nothing I haven't already seen or remembered. Lalo na ang mahahabang videos. Little did I know, the one thing that would really catch my attention was the snippets.

Nothing but snippets.

Just snippets of the moments we had.

Just some short, simple shots of me that Ike took. And by the time I finished the last one, I was already crying. That was all it took for me to change my mind.

Nag-uumapaw ako sa sobrang emosyon. I feel like I'm going to burst. At hindi na rin ako nag-aksaya pa ng oras. Sa mga sandaling 'to, isa lang ang gusto kong gawin. Sigurado ako.

I got out of my bed and dialed Ike's number, my hands slightly shaking. I anxiously waited pero mukhang naka-off ang cellphone niya!

Seeking for another way, I dialed up Tresh.

Snippet 1 - Grocery store

*A shot of Gal seriously checking out different products to put on the cart*

"You're ignoring me," puna ni Ike. She didn't answer.

"Aww," he zooms in the camera. "You still jealous, baby?"

She looks at him with a death glare.

"Hello, Tresh? Where are you?" tanong ko, getting straight to the point.
