As usual, he was topless when I got up from bed kahit sobrang lamig na ng buong room.
May balat sa kalabaw yata ang katawan nito!
"Good morning." he said as he scratched his both eyes while looking at me, "May pasok ka?"
"Meron. Ikaw? Wala kang pasok?" balik kong tanong habang nasa harapan ng cabinet ko.
"Wala. Plano ko umuwi mamaya sa bahay namin." napatingin ako at tumabi sa kaniya habang hindi pa rin siya nabangon.
"Can I come?" I insists wearing my smile.
"May pasok ka at wala ka naman gagawin dun." aniya na kinabagsak ng balikat ko.
"I just wanna meet your family." sabi ko na nagpapaawa.
Ang dami niya na kasing alam sa pamilya ko, samantalang ako sa kaniya.. ni hindi ko nga alam kung pang-ilan siya sa magkakapatid o kung broken family ba sila. Ang alam ko lang may kapatid siyang babae.
"My Dad will surely just scold me but fine, papakilala kita sa kanila." he uttered at bumangon na rin. "Paano ang class mo?"
"Minor subject lang naman yun, kaya siya i-self study mamayang gabi." I just said.
While we were on the way for Aki's home, he suddenly made a deep sighed as he was scrolling something on his phone.
"Is there something wrong?" I immediately asked as I glanced at him then look back in the road again.
"Its just Lance." maikli niyang sagot.
"What about him?"
"He was making a fuss in the internet." he directly said and put his phone down on his lap.
I stopped the car in the side of the road for a while to use my phone.
Hindi ko na kailangan hanapin pa ang mga posts dahil ayun naman agad ang binungad sakin sa Facebook.
Its picture of Aki and Erika when they were still together and have a caption 'Aren't you ashamed for using THE Ivo Wix of Flints as your rebound?'
What the hell is this?
May mga sumunod pang mga posts at lahat yun ay naka-tag si Aki.
'Don't use Ivo to your confused stage! Let him go, straight guy!'
Napapikit ako sa inis.
Bakit kailangan niyang humantong sa ganito?
"Just let it slide, Ivo. He knows nothing." he said while he was looking outside of the window.
