I drummed my fingers on the table. I don't have any idea what has gotten into Evankhell. Why is he suddenly acting like this? Naguilty ba ito dahil sa mga binitawan kong salita? Bigla niya ba akong namiss kaya pinapabalik niya ako? Ge, asa pa, Shakia, asar ng isang parte ng utak ko.
Evankhell looked troubled when he came back. "Meet me here tomorrow after class. May lakad tayo." Patalikod na ito at napapihit pa sabay sabing, "Wear a dress."
Napapantastikuhan ko itong sinundan ng tingin. The last time he said something like this was when he unceremoniously took me as his date for the ball.
Is this like last time? Kung ganoon ay kailangan kong maghanda. Ayokong magmukhang basahan sa tabi niya. But other than that concern, I can't help but feel excited.
It feels like finally, my life is back on track, like everything feels right again. It would have been perfect if there's something I could do to help Kien. He must be going through so much right now. I took a mental note of visiting his sister the day after tomorrow.
Nancy's POV
"Tav, your brows are furrowed... again."
He smiled in an apologetic way. Bumuntung-hininga siya bago ibinagsak ang katawan sa kama. He looked deep in thought.
"You better tell me what's happening in that head of yours." Tumayo ako mula sa pagkakaupo sa harap ng salamin. Lumapit ako at naupo sa gilid ng kama niya. We usually hang out in his room after classes. Hang out and well... make out.
"I feel like something's missing." He smiled ruefully. "Something important."
"Was it about that accident?"
"Yeah. I think that's it."
Tav had told me that he got into an accident when he was twelve years old. Nabunggo siya ng kotse, at simula noon ay wala na siyang maalala sa kabataan niya. He had temporary amnesia and I know that's the reason why Tita Anadeth, his and Van's mom, is extra careful with him. He told me it was really bad. Nitong nakaraan ko lang nalaman mula kay tita Anadeth na nag-undergo si Agustav ng facial reconstruction and eye surgery. It was that bad.
Hanggang ngayon ay wala pa rin siyang naaalala at baka wala na nga siyang maalala.
"It's weird but..." He looked troubled again. "... I sometimes feel like mom doesn't want me to remember."
"She just don't want to stress your mind, okay? Huwag kang mag-isip ng ganyan."
"Okay. Okay." Natawa siya sabay bangon. "Family dinner tomorrow night, you coming?"
Nagtaas ako ng isang kilay. "Duh."
Tinatanong pa ba 'yun? I adore Tita Anadeth and Tito Vallel, my soon to be in-laws.
"Is Van coming?" Kaswal kong tanong. Hindi pa rin naiaalis sa isip ko ang nakita ko n'ong huli akong pumunta sa VIP room.
"Ewan. You know him."
I know him indeed. I know how hostile he is to my boyfriend. Maybe it's because he doesn't consider Tav as his brother, since they're not blood-related at all. Naging magkapatid lang naman sila nang ikasal ang mama ni Agustav sa papa ni Evankhell.
Tumango tango ako, my mind drifting to the small photograph of Shakia Melendez in the paper Van was holding.
Shakia's POV
"How do I look?"
Blangkong mukha ni Kreyo at excited na mukha ni Annie ang bumaling sakin.
"Panget/ Ganda!"
