Kabanata 9

"What is this, Miss Sandejas?" I stopped answering my test questionnaire when I heard my professor speaking from the back.

Sumulyap ako sa likod at nakita siyang malamig ang tingin sa akin.

"Po?" I asked.

"What is this paper under your desk? Are you cheating?!" her voice bombarded the room, stopping me.

"What?" I asked, confused. "Ma'am, I didn't cheat—"

"Then what is this?!" inilahad niya sa akin ang papel.

It looks unfamiliar to me, I can notice the stares my classmates are giving me, sa may likuran ko ay nakita ko ang palihim nilang ngiti.

"I'd never cheat, Ma'am." I told her. "Kahit bumagsak ako, hinding-hindi ako mangungodigo—"

"Look at this! Stop lying to me!" she almost slapped the paper on my face kaya kinuha ko iyon at nangunot ang noo ko.

"Ma'am, as you can see, this isn't my handwriting." I said calmly, kinakabahan man ay ayokong sisihin ako sa bagay na hinding-hindi ko gagawin. "I won't—"

"It has your name, Miss!" tumikwas ang kilay niya kaya tumitig ako ulit sa papel at nagulat.

Crest Veronica Sandejas

Just...wow?

"This is insane!" that made me laugh. "Honestly speaking, Ma'am. If I would cheat, I'd never think of putting my damn name on it." I smiled pero mas nagalit lang siya.

"Aba't...sumasagot ka?! Bastos ka, huh?" she gasped, almost massaging her head. "Tamang-tama nga ang sabi ng mga professor! Kung anong ikinatalino ng kambal mo at ni Atty. kabaligtaran ka!"

"With all due respect, Ma'am. I may not be smart like them but I would never cheat—"

"Ma'am, I saw her threw the paper behind her chair when she saw you approaching." Mahinhin na sabi ng sa likod ko kaya umawang na ang labi ko.

"What the hell?!" I exclaimed.

"Miss Sandejas!" the professor hissed.

"Ma'am! H'wag kayong maniniwala—"

"To the guidance office! Now!" sigaw niya na dumagundong sa buong classroom at mariing naipikit ko na lang ang mata, padarag na kinuha ang bag ko at halos magdabog na palabas.

"The audacity of this woman...what, santisima! Is that even a Sandejas?!" she even exclaimed kaya napairap na lang ako sa hangin habang nilalakad ang guidance.

Damn, people. I know I'm a slow learner but when I learned, tumatagal iyon sa utak ko! They just won't give me the chance to excel! Kapag mataas ako may pagdadalawang-isip sila! Kapag mababa naman ako sasabihang bobo!

Saan ako lalagay?

I even had just four hours of sleep just to study that damn subject pero sa huli ay ipe-frame lang nila ako ganyan?! I may be stupid at ang sabi nila'y bobo pero hindi ako madayang tao!

My father taught us to live in principle and truth kaya nasa huli ng listahan ko ang manloko ng tao!

I was livid and anxious, lalo nan ang pinatawag ang Dad ko sa guidance na kasama pa si Mom. Chiel was also there and he's been eyeing me but because I'm a hard-headed at iritado, hindi ko sila sinasagot.

My Dad was mad at me, hindi na rin ako sumubok magpaliwanag dahil nag eye witness pa ang mga kaklase kong may galit sa akin, even my professor herself testified she saw me throwing that damn paper under my chair which I never did!

Those bitches...may galit lang naman ang mga 'yan sa akin dahil kinausap ko ang boyfriend kuno nila! Aba, malay ko bang may girlfriend ang mga 'yon? And I just talked to them kasi I'm a very social and friendly person yet they would call me a snake for stealing their asshole boys?

Oh, I'm just so fucking tired of proving myself to other people! Pero...pero saan ako lulugar? May mga tao pa bang tatanggap sa akin?

And like a camouflage, I slowly learned how to get along with people around me. Unconsciously, I began cutting myself so I could fit into their world and I'm happy with it.

Ayoko kasing mag-isa, ayokong maging malungkot dahil marami akong naiisip na hindi magandang mga ala-ala. I always want to shop, to dress up, to go to different places to get distracted, siguro nga defense mechanism ko para maging masaya. I want to bar hop and dance, I want to drown myself in liquor to sleep peacefully so I don't have to take sleeping pills to bed.

I really don't mind my Dad scolding me to death whenever I spend money a lot because in that way, kahit paano...kahit masamang dahilan ay napagtutuunan niya ako ng pansin.

Na mahalaga pa rin ako sa kanila at concern sila sa mga gastos ko kahit na ganito lang ako.

Pero...pero bakit kasi pinanganak akong ganito? My family is talented, lawyer and Dad ko na aakyat na sa pagiging prosecutor at lower court judge pagkatapos. My Mom is a company heiress, her business is on the top of the chain because she's doing a great job with it.

Si Alchiel ay Summa Com Laude, si Adira ay gano'n din at parehas na silang magiging abogado tapos ako...ito, pinanganak lang. Hindi alam ang gusto sa buhay, walang direksyon, hindi magaling kahit saan.

Silang dalawa Summa Com Laude tapos ako no'ng college...Summabit lang.

I sighed, remembering the words.

Patapon daw ako. Bobo.

I controlled my tears from falling again, kahit umiiyak ay umalis ako sa restaurant sa takot na makita ako ng mga 'yon na umiiyak dahil lang sa kanila.

I wanna show them I'm unaffected, na hindi ko rin sila kailangan. I wanna show them that I'm classy, I'm strong like my Mom but the truth is...I'm not. I am weak and broken inside at ayoko. Ayokong nakikita ng mga taong 'yon na mahina ako dahil sa kanila.

I don't want them to have the satisfaction of me being broken like this. Never.

Sunod-sunod na busina ang narinig ko mula sa likuran kaya napasinghap ako at napasulyap sa traffic light. I saw that it's currently on the Go sign kaya hinawi ko ang luha at dali-daling nagmaneho paalis.

While I was driving, I felt lost with no direction at all. I wanted to talk to someone pero...sino naman?

Clyte's busy with her work, same as with Chiel. Ayoko namang makaabala sa kanilang dalawa. I thought of talking to some of my cousins but ended up shaking my head.

"H'wag ka na mang-abala." I said and sighed loudly. "Nakaya mo ngang mag-isa ng ilang taon, ngayon pa ba?" I whispered to myself.

I drove again, calming myself down but I wasn't really on my right mind, muntik pa akong makatama ng sasakyan nang may sumingit sa harapan ko at pumipintig na ang sakit ng ulo ko kaya nang makitang lumuwag ang daan pagkaraan ay mabilis akong pumarada sa gilid at isinandal muna ang ulo sa upuan.

I sighed.

I took my phone, found myself searching Locket's name and called him but no one answered, I tried again but he isn't answering kaya mabilis akong nagmaneho papunta sa unit niya.

"Sisilip lang ako," I said. "Kapag busy uuwi na lang ako. Okay, Crest? Uuwi ka kapag wala siya or busy." I said, tapped myself and sighed.

I got into his building in no time dahil hindi naman kalayuan sa akin, natatandaan ko pa rin ang floor at room number niya kaya inayos ko ang sarili muna bago pumunta roon.

I made sure I have no signs of desperate crying, I combed and styled my curly hair to make it look like I'm okay, nag-retouch pa ako bago nagtungo sa tapat ng unit niya.

I bit my lower lip and composed myself, nag-doorbell ako pero walang sumagot kaya inulit ko.

"Pingu, are you home?" I called and tried the doorbell again. "Locket?"

I stayed standing there for five minutes but no is answering kaya paniguradong hindi pa siya nakakauwi. I checked my phone, wala ring mensahe mula sa kanya kaya kinagat ko ang labi.

"I want to see him..." I whispered to myself. "Aantayin ba natin, self?"

Nag-isip pa ako ng saglit.

"Oo, aantayin natin, self." I answered myself and took my Louis Vuitton bandeau from my neck. Pinalakihan at inilapag ko iyon sa lapag bago marahang naupo roon at inilapag ko ang bag ko sa tabi ko.

I stayed seated on the floor for I don't know how long, noong una ay abala pa ako sa kaka-scroll ng social media pero pagkaraan ay na-bored din kaya itinago ko ang phone.

I slowly hugged my knees when I felt the cold air from the hallway. I sighed, sa sobrang katahimikan ay bumagabag na naman sa akin ang mga bagay na hindi ko dapat iniisip.

I closed my eyes tightly upon thinking of the mean words other people threw at me, how they accused me of things I would never do and that night when...

"No! Don't think about it." I hushed myself and buried my face on my knees, mas mariing ipinikit ang mata. "Don't go there, Crest. Don't go there."

But I found myself crying again like a kid on the hallway with my face buried on my knees.

Sa sobrang pagod siguro ay hindi ko na malayang nakatulog na ako, naalimpungatan lang ako sa gulat nang may maramdamang hawak sa braso ko.

"Let me go!" I gasped in panic, pushed the man touching me pero nanlaki ang mata ko nang masalubong ang abo niyang mata.

"L-Locket..." I called.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, kneeling on the ground and stared at me curiously, I noticed the concern hovering every corners of his eyes. "I'm sorry for touching you, I just wanted to cover you."

"H-huh?" kumurap ako, I saw the gray jacket on his hand kaya napaayos ako ng upo roon. "Sorry, I didn't mean to push you. Nagulat lang ako." I said in a small voice.

He nodded, I noticed him still wearing his police uniform, still kneeling on the ground.

"Anong ginagawa mo rito? It's cold here, Crest Veronica. Why are you sitting on the damn floor?" he asked seriously, walang salitang hinawakan ang likod ko para ilagay sa balikat ko ang jacket niya at mainitan ako.

"I'm just..." hinawi niya ang buhok ko at mas inayos sa akin ang jacket kaya sumulyap ako sa orasan at nanlaki ang mata nang matantong mag-a-alas-dose na ng gabi. "Oh my...mahaba ata ang tulog ko."

Hindi siya umimik, nakakunot lang ang noo niya, seryosong dinama ang leeg ko.

"Sorry..." bigla naman akong nahiya. "I was just waiting for you kaninang mga ten kaso wala ka, makikikain lang sana ako kaso nakatulog."

Hindi siya sumagot, his hand remained on my neck, as if feeling my skin. Nakita kong hinanap niya ang paningin ko at kaagad akong nag-iwas sa takot na makita niya ang bakas ng pag-iyak ko.

"Ano, pasensya na sa abala." I cleared my throat. "Pahinga ka na, uwi na ako, bukas na lang." Hindi tumitingin sa mata niyang umakma akong tatayo pero mabilis niyang naharang ang katawan sa akin.

I stared at his eyes and saw the visible annoyance in it at kumirot ang puso ko roon.

Is he mad at me for being here at this time of the night?

"N-nakakaistorbo na ako—"

"You're damn sick, Crest Veronica." He pointed out kaya nanlaki ang mata ko. I immediately felt my neck and realized I really am.

"Nalamigan lang siguro ako rito sa labas, mawawala rin naman 'to mayamaya, don't worry."

"You are hot, Crest." He said, almost pissed at me kaya ngumiti pa ako.

"I know right?" I even chuckled to lighten the atmosphere. "I'm hella hot, salamat, Pingu." I winked.

His eyes soften, the seriousness faded and I saw how the side of his lips lifted upon hearing it.

"You brat, you really know how to insert jokes in serious talks like this?" napasinghap ako nang pinitik niya ang noo ko kaya napapikit ako.

"Masyado ka kasing serious!" I hissed at him and lifted my hand, sinuklay ko ng marahan ang buhok niya para maayos dahil sabog na. "Anong nangyari sa'yo? Para kang nangarera, ah?"

"Why won't I? I fucking panicked after seeing your calls, katatapos lang ng case meeting ko tapos sa sasakyan ko na nakita ang tawag mo. I called the precinct and they said you weren't there, umuwi ka na raw sabi nina Earn sa akin kaya nagmadali ako. I even went to your condo and you weren't there and I was thinking you'll be here and fuck, you're here, sitting on the damn floor with no jacket at all." He scolded.

"Wow, ang haba mo na talaga magsalita, ah? Ilang word count 'yan? Galit na galit?" I smiled.

"Seriously, Sandejas?" he asked me boredly kaya natawa na ako at napailing.

"Sabi ko nga sisilipin lang kita kaso nakatulog naman ako, magpapahinga ka na ba? Makikigulo lang naman sana ako sa'yo pero uuwi na lang ako." I smiled. "And you looked funny with disheveled hair pero gwapo pa rin like your name, Lorcan."

His brow raised at that.

"Lorcan parang vampire! Lorcan! Kagatin mo 'ko!" I even joked and I thought he'll frown at me or something but instead he smirked.

"I don't just bite, Pingu. I eat." He said mysteriously and my eyes widen at that.

"I-ikaw, ikaw, Lorcan Keith ang bastos mo pala!" I smacked his arm and he chuckled, napailing siya sa akin.

"What? I was referring to foods, honey." He raised his brow at me.

"Weh? Baka naman may free trial?" I smirked.

"You're sick and we're on the damn hallway, bakit tayo nagbabastusan dito?" he asked me boredly kaya napahagalpak na ako at pinisil ang pisngi niya.

"Aww, super adorable, my little handsome Pingu!" I unconsciously stole a kiss and realized it kaya natigilan ako.

My mouth parted, I saw how his eyes widen at that and his cheeks reddened. He cleared his throat and I did too, sabay kaming nag-iwas ng tingin at nagkahiyaan.

"You stay here," aniya bago tumikhim at tumayo, dumiretso siya sa pintuan niya kaya umakma rin akong tatayo pagkakuha ng bag at bandeau.

"Uuwi na ako, manggugulo lang naman ako dapat—" I gasped when my head ache, parang nahilo ako sa biglang pagtayo at mabilis na naabot ni Locket ang baywang ko.

"Ang kulit mo." He said and rested his hand on my waist.

"Sorry, medyo nahilo lang." I bit my lower lip. "Pero uuwi na nga ako, Locket. Sinat lang naman din 'to, manggugulo lang talaga ako—"

"Kahit guluhin mo ako habang buhay wala akong pakialam." Aniya kaya nanlaki na ang mata ko.

Napasinghap ako, tumikhim naman siya at nang mabuksan ang pinto ay sumulyap sa akin.

His gray eyes made my stomach churn, I almost palpitated and screamed when he carried me in a bridal way with no words.

"Pingu—"

"Hug my nape, woman. Mahulog ka." Suplado niyang sabi at napakurap-kurap ako at ang isang braso ay ikinawit sa batok niya.

"Why are we--"

"You're staying here with me, there's no way you'll come home in that state."

"Pero kasi graduation ni Adira bukas. I have to go there--"

"Let me take care of you, okay?" Seryoso niyang sabi. "I will take you back to your unit first thing in the morning. Don't worry, you won't be late."

He said as he walked up the stairs towards his room, still carrying me. I can smell his manly scent and it lingers around, making me feel addicted to it.

I wanted to bury my face on his chest kaso masyado naman atang maharot kaya ngumuso na lang ako.

"Open the door, honey." He said and my lips protruded as I open the door with my hand.

Honey again...hindi pa nga kami! Si Padlock ang harot-harot! Kapag nag-o-offer naman akong magjowaan na kami ngingiwi lang!

"Pero Locket, maghahanap pa ako ng clothes to wear tomorrow tapos, Imma curl my hair and--"

"You would shut up or I'll kiss you?" he even threatened but that didn't seem like a threat to me!

"Shut up who?" I smirked. "Magdadaldal ako! Blah blah blah!" I said playfully, teasing him, hindi naniniwalang gagawin niya iyon kaya laking gulat ko nang ibinagsak niya ako sa kama niya.

Namilog lang ang mata ko, lalo na nang marahang inilapit niya ang mukha sa akin at tumitig.

"You really are a brat, huh? Pinga?"

"Tss, akala ko ba may kiss kapag madaldal?" I even gave him a disappointed look.

He remained looking at me, his other hand placed on the side of my head.

"Aww, super pogi naman ang honey Pingu ko pero walang isang salita." I touched and tapped his cheek. "So sad, hindi tinutupad ang sinasabi. Weak ka pala--"

I was just teasing, playing along but I didn't really think he'll do it but he freaking did!

He lowered his face, caught my lips immediately and our eyes met, I saw the glint of naughtiness in there as he slowly licked my lip and moved away.

"You're the first one teasing yet the first one chickening out." He noticed. "Mama Pinga is a scarred bratty penguin, huh?"

I glared at him pero kinalabit niya lang ang ilong ko.

"Papa Pingu is disappointed this time," his playful gray eyes sparkled with amusement. "Mama Crest is pretty, too bad walang isang salita?" balik niya sa akin, nililiitan ang boses na parang nang-aasar ng bata.

He is enjoying this! Really!

And so, while he's having his great time teasing me, I snaked my arm on his nape before pulling him against me and kissed him this time.

I felt how he tensed up, our eyes met and his gray eyes are wide but I slowly parted my mouth. I saw how that gray hollow of his almost turned black, we were unmoving for a few moments until I felt his lips moved against mine.

I let him in, I tasted mint and caffeine on his mouth when I tasted his lips. Our kisses deepened when I snaked my arms more on his nape. Our tongues fought, I can feel how he tasted every corner of my mouth and it's making me hotter.

He bit my lower lip, ang daliri ko ay halos hilahin na ang buhok niya at nang nagkatinginan kami ay bumaba ang halik niya sa pisngi ko. He showered my face with tiny, sweet kisses. His lips went down on my jaw and I was about to tilt my neck to give him access when I felt something.

I cursed, mabilis kong tinulak ang mukha ni Locket paalis sa akin at may narinig akong lagabog bago ipinaling ang ulo at tinakpan ang ilong, hindi na napigilan ang malakas na pagbahing.

Mabilis akong napaupo sa kama at napatakip ng bibig nang makita si Locket sa lapag, nakabulagta at mukhang gulat.

"S-sorry..." I said awkwardly, chuckling and when his lips protruded, I showed him a peace sign with my fingers.

Bitin na bitin na ako pero sinisinat nga talaga ako, maybe because of the cold or maybe because of my crying momentum earlier. I don't know, basta kahit bitin ako ay masaya akong inaalagaan ako ni Locket.

"Here," he sat up beside me, giving me a medicine and a glass of water.

Umayos ako ng upo at ibinuka ang bibig para tanggapin ang ibinibigay niya. After drinking it, inilagay niya iyon sa side table at muli akong pinagmasdan.

"You should sleep and rest, kailangan ka ba talaga sa graduation?" he asked, marahang hinahawi ang buhok papunta sa likod ko.

"Yes, it's my younger sister's graduation, Locket. I can't miss it." I smiled at him and he sighed, nodding.

"Alright, you probably should rest. Masakit ba ang ulo mo? Are you hungry? Why did you cry?" sunod-sunod niyang tanong kaya natawa na ako at mas niyakap ang unan niya sa bisig ko.

"Dumadaldal ka na talaga, Pingu." I chuckled and he frowned at me.

"Answer me, woman. I'm damn worried right now." Aniya kaya napahagikhik ako at marahang inabot ang kamay niya.

"I've eaten already and I think I'm still full, medyo masakit ang ulo ko pero hindi naman super and I didn't cry." I smiled and I was waiting for him to agree but he didn't.

"You don't have to hide your emotions and feelings from me, Crest Veronica." Aniyang seryoso kaya natawa ako at hinaplos ang palad niya.

"What? I didn't kaya? I told you before na I like you really really much. Mas grabe pa sa super!" I said cheerfully and he remained looking at my face. I winked at him and his forehead creased and closed his eyes tightly and sighed.

"I know but not that feelings. You're sick yet you're still cheering like that." He pointed out kaya natawa na ako.

"Come on, Lorcan honey. Cheer up, don't stress yourself because of me. I'm strong kaya!"

"Stop lying." Napapikit na ako nang pitikin niya ang noo ko.

"Aww! I didn't!" laban ko pa pero nailing lang siya sa akin.

"I can see your eyes, woman. I know whenever you say the truth and lie, I can read your emotion." Yabang pa niya kaya tumikwas ang kilay ko.

Hinigpitan ko ang hawak sa kamay niya bago dinala iyon sa pisngi ko, when I successfully did that, I stared at him and smiled.

"Sige nga...ito, anong sinasabi nitong tingin ko?" I stared adoringly at his handsome face.

Tumitig siya sa mata ko pabalik, his intense gray eyes sent me shivers, making me feel giddy and excited at that same time.

"Na ang gwapo ko." He said straightforwardly kaya nanlaki ang mata ko.

"Hoy, conceited naman 'to!" I exclaimed but he smirked at me.

"Bakit? Hindi ba?" he asked me kaya ngumuso ako at tumango rin, i felt his hand touched my cheek briefly kaya pinatakan ko 'yon ng halik at ngumiti.

"Gwapo nga." I said kaya natawa siya sa akin at unti-unting dinama ang leeg ko.

"You should rest, Pinga. Nakakabawas ng lakas ang kakulitan mo. Sleep so you could enjoy tomorrow's event." He smiled a little at me. "And it's okay to cry but don't stay crying for a long time. They were never your loss, hon. It's them who lost you. You don't deserve friends like that."

Nawala na ang ngiti ko, I sighed loudly and stared at his eyes.

"Hindi nga ako umiyak..."

"You can fool everyone but not me, Crest. I talked to the boys, I heard you went to a dinner invitation for them and I assumed it didn't end up in a good way?"

"Sinubukan ko naman." I sighed. "I don't want to end our friendship that way but I can't take their insults anymore. I did my best to be a good friend tapos sa huli..."

"What did they tell you?" his forehead creased, I saw how his eyes darkened.

"Wala...ayos lang." I shook my head, tumungo para itago ang mata pero mabilis niya lang hinuli ang baba ko at pinaharap ako sa kanya.

"Crest Veronica..." he called me seriously kaya bumuntonghininga na ako at kumuha ng lakas ng loob para sabihin sa kanya ang bumabagabag sa puso ko.

"Sabi nila..." I muttered and stared at his eyes, "s-sabi nila bobo raw ako." I sniffed and tears fell on my cheek again.

"What the fuck?" I saw his jaw clenched, his brows furrowed. "That wasn't true!"

"B-bobo ako k-kasi hindi ako kagaya ng pamilya ko..." I cried louder. "I-I don't deserve to be a part of my f-family, Locket. H-hindi naman ako magaling sa kahit ano..." I said and he cursed, mabilis niya akong niyakap at tuloy-tuloy na akong umiyak.

I can't stop myself and cried on his neck while hugging him, my hand fisting his uniform, my body shaking from the pain.

"That isn't true, okay?" aniya habang hinahaplos ang buhok ko, mas ikinukulong ako sa bisig niya. "Walang taong gano'n and you're the best, okay? You're smart, beautiful and amazing, okay?"

I sniffed more at that, "b-binobola mo lang ako, eh..."

"I don't!" he defended. "It's true, okay? You're not like that and they're not your family to say you are underserving of your surname, you understand?"

Ngumuso ako at ang luha ay hinawi ko, nakasubsob pa rin sa leeg niya.

"I want to be better..."

"You will be, hmm?" he kissed my hair. "You are the best, okay? You're amazing and you may be imperfect but that's perfect for me. That made you unique...that made me like you more."

I felt fluttered, hindi ko alam kung maiiyak ako o ano sa sinabi niya kaya ipinikit ko ang mata at mas niyakap lang siya.

"G-gustong-gusto mo ako talaga, Pingu?" I asked, almost a whisper and I felt his kiss on the side of my head. "Patay na patay ka sa'kin?"

I heard his soft chuckled and hugged me more.

"Oo na, Madame, gustong-gusto kita." He sighed. "I did my best to stop liking you but I can't. I couldn't anymore."

"No one's asking you not to like me naman, ah?" I asked. "Welcome na welcome ka sa heart ko, Lorcan. Crushback na lang from you inaantay ko, aarangkada na ang barko." I smiled despite my tears.

"I like you, Crest Veronica Sandejas." He said seriously. "You. Not anyone else, you."

Sa pagod ko siguro ay nakatulog ako habang inaayos niya ang bimpo na malamig sa noo ko para mawala ang sinat ko. He made me wear his clothes and it feels so comfy, lalo nan ang makita kong same kami.

I am wearing his shirt and white pajamas and he is too, just that black ang kanya.

We looked like a cute couple tuloy kaya super kilig!

I thought my sleep would be peaceful but unfortunately, it didn't. Maybe because I think too much that monsters pestered me even in my sleep.

I dreamt of myself crying desperately but couldn't do anything, I dreamt of struggling but I couldn't even protect myself because I'm weak. I dreamt of my terrible, dark memories and that horrible black eyes made it even scarier.

Habol ko ang hininga ko nang magising, mabilis akong nag-panic at inikot ang tingin sa kwarto at napahawak sa dibdib nang maalala kung nasaan ako.

"Fuck..." I cursed softly and took a deep breath, I shifted my gaze to the clock and saw it's already five in the morning.

Mabilis akong tumigin sa tabi ko at parang may humaplos sa puso ko nang nakitang nakaupong nakapikit at tulog si Locket, nakasandal sa headboard. Sa side table ay ang maliit na planggana kung nasaan ang tubig na ipinamunas niya sa akin.

Nahulog pa ang ulo niya pero biglang umayos ng upo at kumunot ang noo kaya napangiti na ako. I slowly crawled towards him, naupo ako sa tabi niya bago kinuha ang kamay niya.

I slowly caressed his palm and placed his head on my shoulder. He felt heavy but it's okay, umayos ako ng upo bago dinala sa akin ang kamay niya. Marahang hinaplos ko ulit iyon pero nakita ko na naman ang red spots doon.

But it almost faded now, kaunti na lang ang natira at sobrang liit pero kapag tititigan ay pansin.

"Ano 'to..."

I felt him stirred up kaya nilingon ko siya at nakita kong namumungay pa ang mata na tumitig sa akin.

"Why are you...it's still early, you should rest." Mabilis niyang inabot ang leeg ko at dinama ang temperature ko.

"I'm okay now." I smiled at him, "come on, ikaw naman ang mag-sleep, oh."

"Hindi na ba masakit ang ulo mo?" he asked and I shook my head.

"Nah, I'm okay now." I said and I saw how relief filled his eyes and nodded slowly, marahang humiga siya sa kama at marahang hinila niya ang kamay ko kaya natawa ako at humiga sa bisig niya.

I can hear his deep breaths, inangat niya ang kamay sa hinihigaan kong braso niya at hinaplos ang buhok ko.

"It's still early, hindi ka na ba antok?" he asked and I shook my head.

"It's just a bad dream." I said.

"What dream?" he asked kaya natigilan ako saglit pero 'di ako tumingin sa kanya para 'di niya makita ang mga mata ko.

"Hindi ko na matandaan, eh." I smiled and glanced at his other hand I am holding. "Anyway, ano nga pala 'to? Why do you have red spots?"

"Huh? Nand'yan pa ba?" kinuha niya ang kamay sa akin at tinitigan ang palad niya kaya ngumuso ako at hinanap ang mata niya.

"What happened?" I asked, "kahapon medyo mas red pa siya unlike ngayon, nangangati ba? Nagpa-check ka sa derma?"

"It's nothing, just some allergy." Aniya kaya kinuha ko ang kamay niya at hinaplos ang palad niya.

"Allergy?" I asked, my forehead creasing, hinanap ko ang mata niya at nagtanong. "Allergy saan? Foods?"

"No, it's a weird allergy." He chuckled a bit. "It's because of flowers."

Natigilan ako at nanlaki ang mata, "really?! Then why did you give me a rose no'ng nakaraan? May allergy ka pala?!"

"Because you're mad." He chuckled. "And it's okay, I took meds after kaya nawala rin."

"But still..." I gasped, dumapa na sa tabi niya para makita ang mata niya. "It's itchy, right? Edi nangati ka no'n? Tapos nabahing? I heard you pero akala ko wala lang! Tapos ang suplada ko pa..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you're happy and I was harsh last time, I'm sorry again." He sighed and stared at me. "I'm just confused and all."

"Confused of what?" I asked, inilagay ang dalawang palad sa magkabilang pisngi habang nakikipag-usap.

I saw something on his eyes, as if he's hesitating or what.

"Come on, it's okay. You know about my problems, I think it's okay naman na you open up to me para gumaan ang pakiramdam mo." I said softly and he licked his lip and nodded.

"I'm confused of my feelings for you." He said kaya natigilan na ako. "I like you, Crest and I am happy you're around but it made think if I really deserve that happiness?"

Hindi ako nakasagot, lalo na nang makita ang pagkakalito sa mata niya.

"Do I deserve to smile? Did I deserve laughing?" he asked lowly and stared at me. "Am I deserving to be happy and have you?"

While staring at his gray eyes, I felt my heart ache.

"You deserved happiness, Locket." I said seriously. "You deserve to smile, you deserve to laugh. You deserve the sunshine the world has to offer. Our babies..." I chuckled. "Sina Earn, Adam at Brent, masayang nakikita kang ngumingiti and ako rin. When you're happy, I am happy too."

"I do?" his eyes soften at me and my heart felt warm while staring at that. He's always cold, serious and strong that I am melting on his soft gaze. He's like a kid, broken and fragile like me too.

"I clearly don't know what you've been through but don't stress yourself into the things and emotions you cannot control. If you are happy then be happy, smile when you feel like it. Laugh it out. We deserve something good naman after the shits we've been through in our lives, right?" I gave him a sweet smile.

I saw him watching me intently as I speak, tahimik lang siya noong una na parang binabasa ako pero nagsalita pagkaraan.

"I'm glad learning from you," he smiled genuinely this time, his eyes lit up and twinkled, making those gray hollows more pleasing.

"Because I am learning from you too. You always lift that heavy thing off my chest." I said, "it's not bad naman to give the advices back to you too, right?"

"Right, you adorable Pinga." He reached for my nose and pinched it kaya natawa na ako. "Nice hearing wise words from my honey."

"Hmm!" I nodded, gumulong ako sa braso niya pabalik at inangat ang tingin sa kanya.

"Why honey?" I asked and smiled, "you can call me baby naman or babe or what? Why honey?"

Nakita kong napaisip siya roon saglit, "bakit nga ba?" he asked and caught my fingers, dinala niya iyon sa labi niya habang nakatitig sa akin. He slowly kissed every digits of it, making me smile sweetly.

"Because your smile is sweet." He said kaya nagulat ako.

"And?"

"I like it whenever you smile like that. Honey's sweet, like your smile." He answered me. "Other endearments are so common and like I told you, you're different, Crest. Not same as them."

My cheeks flushed, when I saw the side of his lips lifted teasingly, napatili na ako at pinalo ang dibdib niya.

"Enebe!" I gasped. "Ang harot-harot mo naman, Lorcan! Kainin kita diyan, eh!" I hissed and he chuckled at me.

"Edi kainin mo..." aniya at ngumisi pa pero natigilan nang may matanto. "Why the fuck am I turning into a pervert?" sumeryoso na ang mukha niya kaya napatawa na ako.

We were both up early, dahil maayos ang pakiramdam ko ay masigla na ako ulit. I took a bath after our quick breakfast at inayos ko ang shirt at sweatpants niya na suot ko dahil wala nga akong damit ngayon dito.

I looked around his room to look for a hair brush kaya naupo ako sa gilid ng kama, I opened the drawer on his side table and saw a gold chain with a small locket.

My forehead creased, my curiosity kicked in kaya inabot ko 'yon pero biglang natigilan.

"Why am I checking his things?" I sighed and took it back instead, binuksan ang ibabang drawer at nakakita ng simpleng suklay na ginamot ko habang nagbo-blow dry.

When I got out, I immediately looked for him para sana sabihan siyang maligo na pero namilog lang ang mata ko nang makita siya na nasa may terrace ng unit.

He's doing fucking pull ups! Santisima dos por dos!

I saw how his toned athletic body stretched while lifting himself up in the metal, his abdomen are on the full view, kitang-kita ko ang pag-stretch ng muscles sa braso niya, I saw veins in it, ang dibdib niya'y pawis na rin kaya nakanganga lang ako.

Unconsciously, my eyes went down on his sweatpants and I bit my lip when I saw it.

"Oh my God..." I whispered and my cheeks flushed. "OMG, hello, bakat!" I exclaimed and I saw how his eyes met mine and he almost lost balance.

He fell on the metal, akala ko'y mawawalan ng balanse pero pinanliitan niya ako ng mata nang makatayo ng maayos.

"The pervert Pinga is here, I see?" he licked his lower lip, smirking, ang pawis ay namumutaktak pa rin sa katawan.

I walked towards him in small, quick steps. I saw the unfinished water from the side kaya inabot ko iyon sa kanya.

He opened the mineral bottle, drink the water from it and I felt a bit hot when I saw how his adam's apple moved seductively. After drinking a bit, I saw him closed his eyes and poured the remaining portion of water on his head.

My jaw dropped when the drops of water fell from his hair to his neck and chest, ipinaling pa niya ang ulo kaya tumalsik ang ilang butil bago niya guluhin ang buhok at binuksan ang mata para tignan ako.

His gray eyes looked confused when he saw me looking at him unbelievably.

"Why—"

"Koya Lorcan, buhusan mo rin ako!" I exclaimed, spreading my arms in front of him and he burst out laughing.

"You woman..." he muttered and laughed at me, I saw the small unnoticeable dimple on the side of his lips.

"Hoy, serious ako, ah!" I exclaimed and pouted, my heart beating rapidly while staring at him from head to toe. "Grabe naman po ang exhibition kasi, Lieutenant. Sa TV ganyan ang male leads, may ganyan din pala sa personal?"

"Yeah, so it's good to watch me instead than jogging outside just to see crotches?" he frowned.

"Hoy! Grabe 'to!" I smacked his arm. "Aksidente ko nga lang kasi nakikita ang mga bakat! Aba, nagja-jog akong seryoso tapos paglingon may umbok!"

"Perv..." he smirked at me and took his towel bago ipinatong sa ulo niya kaya suminghap ako. I took the towel from his head, mabilis na humawak sa braso niya bago siya ipatalikod para mapunasan ko ang likod niya.

"Hindi, ah! Ikaw nga ang perv! Pinahawak mo pa sa'kin 'yang fluffy butt mo!" I smacked his butt and he chuckled.

"Because you said you like fluffy butts, Crest Veronica. What am I supposed to do? As if I'd let you touch other butts because they're fluffy."

"Tapos 'yang ano mo...'yang bakat mo." My cheeks flushed when I heard him chuckled.

"Why? Ayaw mo ba?" hinarap na niya ako. "Look, I have one too. You're looking for my bakat, right? Oh, ayan, I wore my sweatpants for you." He said kaya sumulyap ako sa protruding bulge niya at bumilog ang bibig pero ngumuso.

"Ah, hindi ako marupok sa bakat, Pingu." I said and he raised his brow at me.

"Really, huh? Should I let you touch it again—"

"Hoy, ayoko! Nakakatakot 'yan baka manuklaw! No'ng nakaraan nga pumintig!" I hissed pero tinawanan lang ako ng loko.

"What? Ayaw mo no'n, wala ka ng hahanapin. I have a butt to be proud of too."

"Oh, edi ikaw na may fluffy butt at fluffy bird!" I exclaimed and I saw him stopped.

"Fluffy...fluffy what?"

"Fluffy bird!" I said. "Kasi fluffy butt tapos 'yang bakat mo, fluffy bird." I smiled and cursed.

"The hell, you're calling my...fluffy bird?!" he asked, as if horrible kaya ngumuso ako.

"Oh? Ayaw mo?"

"This is not just a freaking small bird, Crest Veronica." He pointed out kaya ngumuso ako.

"Oh, okay. May isa pa akong tawag na lang. Mas maganda." I smiled.

"What?" he crossed his arms on his chest, I saw how his broad shoulders got exposed kaya napalunok ako at sumagot.

"Ang bakat ni Padlock." I said and when his eyes darken, kinakabahang napaatras na ako at ngumiti ng alanganin.

He took me back to my condo unit after he's done taking a bath. Nag-convoy na lang kami dahil nga dala ko ang sasakyan ko at pagkahatid sa akin sa may entrance ay umalis din siya para sa trabaho.

I fixed myself when I got there, wearing my newly bought dress online from Europe. Of course, it's a formal occasion so I chose to wear a formal yet classy dress for the event.

It's a two in one tie neck lantern sleeve tweed dress which has long sleeves that fits my body well. The dress has light blue plaid patterns and I partnered it with white ankle boots.

I straightened my hair and parted it in the middle. I wore a pair of white pearl earrings and took my small glittered clutch bag to complete my outfit.

I smiled and twirled on the mirror when I realized how beautiful I look today, inilagay ko pa sa likod ng tainga ang ilang bahagi ng buhok ko bago kinuha ang phone para mag-mirror selfie.

I opened my message and typed something for Locket.

To: Lt. Pingu

How do I look? 😊

I sent the photo of me in the mirror and I was not expecting him to reply but he freaking did!

From: Lt. Pingu

Who's that? Pakisabi naman sobrang ganda niya.

It made me smile, kaagad akong nagtipa ng sagot.

To: Lt. Pingu

Really? 🥺

From: Lt. Pingu

Haha! Really. I wanna kiss you.

My eyes widen, halos magtambol ang puso ko kaya napatili ako ng malakas at halos sabunutan ang sarili ko.

To: Lt. Pingu

Ang landi mo!!!! 😠😠😠 Pero shige ehehehehe!

Medyo nahuli na ako sa dahil sa ritwal ko kaya medyo nahuli ako sa graduation ni Adira. Pagkapasok ko pa lang sa venue ay nakita ko na kaagad si Mommy na inantay ako na ngumiti sa akin.


"Mom..." I muttered and ran towards her, hugging her tight.

"Hello, my princess. What took you so long?" she touched my hair and kissed my head.

"Alam mo na, My. Ang ritwal." I said, showing her my outfit and she chuckled and nodded.

"Same, anak!" she laughed and stared at me. "Wow, ang ganda-ganda naman ng prinsesa ko!" Malambing niyang sabi kaya ngumisi ako.

"S'yempre, Mommy, mana sa reyna." I glanced at her looking so elegant on her familiar black fitted, one shoulder dress, her long hair's in a pretty French twist.

I noticed it's really familiar to me pero naipaling ko ang ulo ko at napaisip ulit.

"What do you think of my dress, isn't it pretty?" she asked kaya nagtataka man ay ngumisi ako at tumango.

"Really...pretty. Wow, My! Where did you bought it?"

"Hmm, someone designed it for me." She said.

We talked about make ups and outfits as we walked inside the venue, may nagsasalita na sa harapan pagkarating namin at kaagad kong nakita si Chiel na inaayos pa ang suit niya.

"Alchiel-panget!" I called and he shifted his gaze.

I saw his blue eyes shone as he stood from the seat and offered his arms at me.

"Ang mahal na prinsesang palaging late!" he said kaya natatawang niyakap ko siya at sinuntok ng pabiro.

"S'yempre, nagpaganda pa?" I flipped my hair kaya natatawang pinisil niya ang pisngi ko.

"Saan?" I heard a familiar voice kaya humiwalay ako kay Chiel at napasulyap kay Dad na may suot ding pormal na suit.

"Attorney!" I pouted and his blue eyes glinted when he saw me and he immediately walked towards me.

"Ang Thallia-liit ko!" he exclaimed and I giggled, almost jumping to hug him tight.

I couldn't get any prouder while watching my younger sister saying her graduation speech in front of aspiring lawyers in front of her. Ganyang-ganyan din si Chiel dati at ngayon ay siya naman kaya kumakalabog ang puso ko sa saya.

Habang nagbi-video ay nangingilid ang luha ko habang pinagmamasdan siya, parang Nanay na proud na proud sa anak.

Mom and Dad is in the side of the stage, waiting for Adira to finish her speech bago siya ma-award-an sa gitna, si Chiel ay nasa tabi ko, nanunuod din at malaki ang ngiti.

"Aww, kapag naging lawyer na si Adira, tatlo na kayo. I'm so proud, Chiel. Ang gagaling niyo." I told him softly and he chuckled, inakbayan ako at humalik sa ulo ko.

"I'm proud of you too, kambal." He smiled at me, may hawak na bouquet para kay Adira. "Our success is the family's success too. My title and Adira's are your titles too."

"Bale...abogado rin ako sa puso?" I smiled sweetly and he chuckled, nodding.

"Oo, abogado ka rin naman daw sabi ni Dad. Maraming rason kapag tinatanong bakit malaki ang gastos." He teased kaya kinaltukan ko na at nagkatawanan kami.

Natapos ang graduation na naiiyak ako, muntik pa nga akong mapahagulgol no'ng nakitang maraming medalya na inilagay sa leeg ni Adira at umiyak si Dad sa stage habang isinusuot iyon sa kanya.

Everyone is congratulating her for a job well done, sabay kaming pumunta ni Chiel sa may stage para puntahan ang kapatid ko na nagliwanag ang mata nang makita ako.

"Ate Crest!"

"Adira-babe!" I called, kaagad kaming nagyakap at hinalikan ko ang pisngi niya. "Congratulations, Adira. Mamaya na ang gift ko, hmm? Ate is so proud, ang dami mong medal, baby girl! Ang galing-galing mo!"

"Salamat, Ate! I love you! Mana ako sa'yo kaya magaling din ako!" aniya at tumalon ang puso ko roon at mahigpit siyang niyakap.

"Excuse me, Ate Crest, Adira." We both heard a voice kaya natigilan kami, naghiwalay kami ni Adira at napasulyap sa lalaking naka-toga rin at nakangiti, may hawak na pumpon ng bulaklak.

"Oh..." bumilog na ang bibig ko roon at sumulyap sa kapatid ko na namula.

"Ash..." she called and I smiled at that.

"For you," he offered her the flowers. "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Adira muttered kaya mas lumaki ang ngisi ko, palihim na sinundot ang tagiliran ng kapatid kong halatang-halata sa kilig niya.

Mom and Dad are with Adira while they're thanking every greetings.

"Congrats, Attorney! Mrs. Sandejas, Adira! Ang talino ni Adira, manang-mana talaga sa inyo!" a professor congratulated them.

"Thank you, Sir." Adira said softly.

Nasa may gilid ako, katabi si Chiel na may kumausap din.

"Thank you so much for the help last time, Attorney. I thought my sister's case was hopeless but with your help nagkaroon! We are so grateful!" she said, I even saw her touched my twin's hand affectionately.

"You're welcome, Miss." He smiled formally.

"Chiel—"

"Oh, and here's my parents! Mom, Dad, this is Atty. Alchiel Sandejas!" the lady said at nakita kong may dalawang may edad na lumapit kaya 'di na ako nagsalita dahil abala na naman ang kambal ko sa pagbati sa mga kakilala at dating kliyente.

I glanced at my parents, I saw their bright and proud smiles while shaking hands with the people around greeting them. I saw my Dad placed his hand on Adira's shoulder and my Mom's waist.

"Your family is filled with bright kids, Attorney! You're so lucky! I saw how much potential Adira has in law, parang si Alchiel lang noon!" The man chuckled.

"S'yempre, anak ko ata 'yan?" ani Dad at nagtawanan sila.

I smiled softly, bumaling ako kay Chiel na tumawa at nagpasalamat sa papuri ng matanda pabalik kina Dad na masayang nagpapasalamat sa mga bati sa kanila.

I bit my lower lip, napasulyap ako sa daliri ko at akmang kukunin ang phone ko para sana mag-social media nang may umakbay sa akin.

"Bakit ka emo diyan, kambal?" Chiel laughed and smirked at me. "Tara, tawag tayo nina Mommy." Aniya at ngumiti ako, hindi na tinuloy ang pagkuha sa phone at sumama sa kanya.

I saw our parents smiling while watching us walked towards them, matamis naman ang ngiti ni Adira at kumaway sa amin.

Mom immediately took my hand, si Chiel ay nakipagkamay sa mga taong nandoon.

"Atty. Alchiel." They greeted him.

"I know you already know but these are our twins, Chiel and Crest." Dad introduced us and smiled.

"Oh, ngayon ko lang nalaman. May kambal pala si Chiel?" the old man asked in shock and glanced at me. "Hello, Miss Crest." He offered me his hand.

"Hello po," I greeted and smiled, accepting his hand.

"Wow, so your children are all lawyers, Atty. Sandejas? Abogada ka rin, hija?" aniya sa akin kaya umiling ako at ngumiti.

"Oh. Hindi po." I said softly.

"What's your work, hija? Sa Mom mo ba? A heiress too, perhaps? Will you take over the Castuares'?"

"Uh, no po." I smiled. "I am currently working on a secretarial job." I said and I saw his eyes widen, narinig ko ang tikhim ng asawa ata niyang babae at bumalik sa akin.

"Oh, really?" she glanced at my family. "Your siblings are lawyers, why settle in a secretarial job—"

"Well, Mrs. Dalmes, I started off as Iñigo's secretary at first." Mom cut her off kaya nagulat ako. "Secretarial jobs are great, a lot of people just don't know it and my daughter here is a very talented woman."

"No offense but she could've taken your position—"

"My daughter's currently practicing her skills, Mrs. Dalmes. She's an aspiring fashion designer." Dad said, stopping me.

Kumunot ang noo ko at nagtaka roon, sumulyap ako kay Chiel na ngumuso, nagtatago ng ngiti.

"Yes, a very great one. I'm proud." Mom smiled brightly. "See this dress I am wearing? My daughter designed it for me."

Slowly, my eyes widen at that.

"Oh, and my dress too!" biglang sabi ni Adira, nagulat ako nang tinanggal niya ang toga, flexing her glittery green dress which looks very familiar to me too. "My Ate is a designer and she makes great dresses, pretty, right?"

"Oh...I see." Mrs. Dalmes smiled awkwardly and nodded, "anyway, congrats, excuse me." she said, pulling her husband pero nanlalaki lang ang mata ko.

"Is that..." I asked. I saw Dad smiled and winked at me.

"Pretty, right? You have a talent, Thallia-liit. Bakit 'di mo pinapakita sa amin?" Dad asked pero nakanganga lang ako, pinagmasdan ang damit na suot ni Mommy at Adira.

Oh, gosh! I remembered this! I personally designed this and named it after them!

"Nakakalat kasi sketch pad mo, kambal. Nakita ko tuloy." Tawa ni Chiel sa tabi ko, "ang ganda 'no?"

"I really did...oh my gosh." Nangilid ang luha ko. "Is that my design, My?"

"Yeah," Mom showed me her dress and pulled Adira closer to her. "We saw the labels and saw my name and Adira's to your design so...we asked your Tita Nat to make this, bagay ba?" she smiled softly.

"T-thank you..." I started sniffing, "t-thank you! I love you!" I exclaimed, crying like a child while hugging them.

Of course, Adira's success calls for a celebration. The success of one is the success of everyone kaya puno ang restaurant na nirentahan namin dahil sa umattend ang buong pamilya sa celebration.

I am extra happy too upon seeing my Mom and sister telling everyone the dresses they're wearing is designed by me and everyone is happy for me! Naiiyak pa ako habang yakap si Clyte na ngumingisi.

"See? You are talented, BFF! Ang ganda-ganda ng gawa mo. I'm so proud of you, Crest-Crest!" Clyte hugged me tighter and we're both having our drama moment when my twin is such an epal.

"Sana all nakayakap!" parinig niya na sumiksik pa sa amin ni Clyte kaya kinurot ko na at tumawa lang siya, mas lalong nang-asar.

"Bakit walang gustong sumama sa'kin sa buffet?!" inarte ni Tito Zeij doon. "Zion? Zire?"

"I'm full, Dad." Zion said.

"Me too, I'm okay with gummy bears na, Dad. I felt like my stomach will explode!" Zire said.

"KJ naman!" he frowned and we laughed.

"Gago, mahiya ka nga, pang-limang balik mo na 'yan sa buffet!" Tito Dash hissed.

"And so? Kaya nga buffet kasi unli!" he frowned, "mga KJ! Sino sasama sa akin sa buffet?"

"Me!" I raised my hand when I felt like eating desserts pa.

"Ayon!" tawa niya. "Tara dito, Crest-ganda! Kaya favorite ko 'tong pamangkin, eh!" he teased.

"You're my favorite Tito too!" I cheered kaya nagtawanan sila.

"Paano ba hindi magiging favorite, bata pa si Crest, inuuto na ni Zeijan?" ani Dad kaya nagtawanan sila at nagme-make face lang ang Tito na tinawag na ako.

Kasunod ko siya sa pagkuha ng pagkain, dahil dessert lang ang akin at nasa dulo pa ay nagbasa muna ako ng reply from Locket.

From: Lt. Pingu

How are you? Is the celebration great? Did you have fun?

To: Lt. Pingu

Yes, Pingu!!! I will bring foods para sa inyo! I have a lot of kwento sa'yo and the boys! Sayang kasi may work kayo, I wish you're here

From: Pingu

It's a family matter, Pinga, I don't have to be there. Just enjoy the party, where are you now? Sino kasama mo?

To: Lt. Pingu

I'm with my favorite Titi.

My eyes widen when I realized what I've sent.

From: Lt. Pingu

WHAT THE FUCK????

"Oh my God!" I gasped and I saw Tito Zeij glanced at me.

"Oh? 'Nyare? Okay ka lang, ganda?" he asked and I nodded, gasping.

"Opo, opo! Sorry! I'm fine." I laughed awkwardly, mas mabilis pa sa alas-kwatro na nag-type.

To: Lt. Pingu

*Tito!

To: Lt. Pingu

It's TITO!!! OMG it's a freaking typo!!!! SORRY!

My heart hammered, lalo na habang nag-aantay ng reply sa kanya. Parang namamawis na ako, tinawag pa ako ni Tito Zeij pero hindi ko na napansin ang sinabi dahil sa reply ni Locket.

From: Lt. Pingu

I'M FUCKING ON MY WAY, SANDEJAS.
