[ Hilaga ]
" Arghhh... " Sabi ko pagmulat ng mata ko, shete na yan sakit ng ulo ko, parang mabibiyak,
Kinusot kusot ko mata ko to, bat parang namamaga toh? Agad akong naghanap ng salamin, at buti nalang may salamin dito sa bed side table
Lumaki naman mata ko ng makita ang itsura ko, ang sabog, magulong buhok, namamagang mata,
Teka bat namamaga toh? Eh uminom lng naman din ako kagabi? Diba?
" Take a bath then get down to eat. " Nagulat ako ng may magsalita, agad naman akong napatingin dito,
" M-miss? Ano po ginagawa mo dito? " Taka kong tanong sa kanya, why she's here?
" Should I be the one to ask you that? " She just said and leave me here,
Ano daw? Teka... Wala akong salamin sa bedside,
Iginala ko naman agad yung mata ko, shutangina hindi ko toh kwarto!!!
Is this mean, nasa bahay ako ni Miss Alvarez, on her room to be exact? Inuwi niya ko? Halaaa!!!!
Agad akong pumunta sa banyo ng walang dala, at humarap agad sa sink at naghilamos, is this even real? Uminom lang ako kagabi eh
San ba kasi si Jam? Dapat sa bahay ako ngayon eh,
Naalala ko na naman yung kagabi, what's the reason of Clever dun sa kasal? Hindi ganun sa straight na siya, pero wala kasi siyang nakarelasyon na babae sa talang buhay niya eh,
Pagkatapos ko maghilamos ay lumabas na ako ng banyo, may shirt tsaka short na sa kama, unused undies din,
Hindi na ako naligo like what she said, mahirap na,
Pagkatapos magbihis ay bumaba agad ako, nalula naman ako sa bahay ni Miss Alvarez, bat parang ang tahimik?
" Ahmm, ate, san po si Miss Alvarez? " Tanong ko dun sa nakasuot na maid na busy maglinis,
" Ayy dun po maam, straight kalang po jan tas sa kaliwa.. " sagot niya,
" Salamat po, " Sabi ko dito ng nakangiti tsaka naglakad na dun sa tinuro niyang direksyon,
Pagkarating ko sa dining area nadatnan ko dito si Miss Alvarez na kaharap ang laptop niya, may anti rad sunglasses tsaka humihigop ng kape niya, ang hot shuta,
Napansin niya ata ako kaya nag angat siya ng tingin pagkatapos ilapag ang tasa ng kape niya,
" Are you just gonna stand there or you'll eat? " Tanong niya, napakamot naman ako sa batok bago maupo sa malapit na upuan ngunit malayo sa kaniya,
Bale siya yung nasa center chair tapos andito ako five chairs from her, laki kasi ng table eh tas mag isa lang naman siya
" Come here, there's no food in there Havier. " She said, napatingin naman ako sa hapag, shunga mo talaga Hilaga,
" I said come here. " She said and look at me seriously,
Agad naman akong tumayo at lumipat ng pwesto, three chairs from here,
" What word that you can't understand? " I frowned to what she said, eh malapit na kayo toh,
I sighed bago lumipat ulit, two chairs from her,
" Eat. " Finally, makaka kain na din,
" How did I get here po? " I asked in between ng pag nguya ko,
" Digest your food first before you talk. " Sabi niya lang at yung atensyon ay nasa laptop niya,
I do what she said, mabugahan pako noe, diko pa naman bahay toh
" So pano nga po ako napunta dito? " Tanong ko ulit, tiningnan niya lang ako saglit bago balik sa laptop niya,
" Just eat, " she just said, eh?
Hindi nako umimik at kumain nalang, sayang lang din eh,
Pagkatapos ko kumain ay nagtungo na agad ako sa lababo bitbit ang pinagkainan,
The least thing you can do when in other's house is to wash your dishes after eating,
" What are you doing? " Rinig kong tanong ni Miss Alvarez, hindi ko siya pinansin at nagpatuloy nalang sa paghugas ng pinagkainan ko,
Isinama ko na din yung mga nasa lababo na para isa nalang yung hugasan,
" Leave it in there. " Rinig ko pang sabi niya pero wala parin akong kibo, ayaw niyakong sagutin eh,
" I said leave it in there. " Nabigla naman ako ng hinawakan niya braso ko tsaka pinaharap sa kanya,
Dipa ako tapos maghugas eh,
Inosente lang akong tumingin sa kanya, and her as always the cold stare at me,
" May problema po ba? " Inosente kong tanong,
" Why can't you understand what im saying? " Tanong niya, hindi ko siya pinansin at tinitigan ang kamay kong basa,
Nakahawak parin siya sa braso ko, hindi naman mahigpit, ang lambot din ng kamay niya,
" I'm asking. " Sabi niya kaya napatitig ako pabalik sa kanya,
" Pwede po ba tapusin ko muna yung pinaghugasan ko? " Wala sa topic na tanong ko, bumuntong hininga muna siya bago ako bitawan,
" After that, go upstairs, " sabi niya lang at tumalikod na, kinuha niya muna yung laptop niya sa may table tsaka umalis ng silid,
Pano nga ba ako napunta dito? Hmm...
Itinuloy ko nalang ang paghugas ko,

That kid...
" Elena! " I shouted for her to hear me,
" Yes? " She asked as she gets near on me,
I am now in the stairs and her downstairs,
" Tell Kurt to ready the car, we'll leave maybe in 2 minutes. " I said and walk upstairs,
The heck she's talking to me like I am nothing, if only she knew what she'd done last night,
I don't have the plan to tell her tho, she doesn't need to remember it, it will just hurt her again, and I hate that idea for the reason that I don't know,
I quickly got in to my room and leave my laptop in my office table and walks into my walk in closet to find some clothes to wear
While im checking my outfit I heard the door opens and a footsteps, she's in here,
After I check that im okay now I then walks out, I even saw her shock and was just starring at me now,
" You're drooling Havier. " I said and walks to my mirror, I only put light make up
" Wala naman po Miss eh, scam ka! " I heard her say, I smirked, stupid.
" Are you okay on that shirt of yours? You can borrow mine if you want, " I said while putting my make up on
" Okay napo toh, miss ano nga kasi bat ako andito? " There she is again,
" I mean how? Kala ko si Jam maguuwi sakin eh, " I look at her this time, nakaupo siya sa kama habang tinitingnan ako ng inosente
" I drove you here, Jam is drunk, she can't even get herself up, " I said, I look onto the mirror again,
" Eh? San si Jam ngayon? " Tanong niya, tell me how stupid she is?
" Why not you call her than asking me huh? " I said irritatedly
" Ayy, oo nga noe, pero san po phone ko? " Tanong niya, I sighed as I tried to be calm,
" Ayy eto pala, " I look on her as she clicks something on her phone,
" Hi Jam!! " She said, I just crossed my arms and leans my back to the chair,
" Bat ka kasi nagpakalasing eh!! " She said annoyingly,
" Balaka nga jan!! " She said and throw her phone on the bed,
" Shall we go now Havier? I still have my class.. " I said while looking on her, she look at me frowning, she sighed
" Tara na nga po... " She said and stands up then walks out of my room, this kid,
I got up and composed myself before walking out,
" Elena!! " I shout as I walk in the stairs,
" Yes? Kanina kapa ahh!! " She said, I just raised my brow on her,
" Ano? Dalian mo may niluluto ako dun eh! " She said, I look on her coldly,
Anyways I don't mind her answers to me, she's like that always but we're close kay? She's like a sister to me to the point that I want to tell Kurt to throw her in the river..
" Ano, titingnan mo lang ako ganun? " She said again, I just rolled my eyes on her and continue walking
" Is Kurt already in there? " I asked as I got to the floor,
" Kanina pa yan, sige na wala kabang itatanong pa? Siya nga pala si mama, maya pa balik sa gabi, binisita yung kumare niyang nahospital kuno.. " she said and I loon at her,
" Tell my condolences to her kumare... " I said jokely,
" Hospital lang gaga toh, pinatay na, oh siya diyan kana, may niluluto pa ako, " she said and walks away, before she's out of my sight I call her again,
" I'll be late later. " I just said and walks to the sala, I saw Havier there sitting in the couch and looking at me,
" Let's go. " I just said and walks out first of the house,
" Good morning Astra " Kurt said and smiled, I just nod to him and enters the car,
" Good morning Maam " I heard him said as he saw Havier, he then closed the door after she got in,
" Straight ba sa LFU? " He asked,
" Yeah. " I just said,
This kid is silent now, I wonder,
Even if I denied it, nothing will change.. gosh this kid!!
