“Good evening”


    W-what?


    That voice. After five years ngayon ko namang ulit narinig ang boses na ‘yon.


    Mabilis ako’ng lumingon sa likudan ko at tama ang aking hin.


    He’s here. Adam my ex-lover is here.


    I looked at him, he’s wearing a semi-formal suit, ck tux and gray polo sa loob habang naka-bukas ang tatlong butones sa kaniyang dibdib.


    He looks more manly, hindi na ganoong kakita ang pagiging kulot niya and the same brown eyes that I loved.


    “Good evening, let’s drink?” I smiled at him but he just looked emotionless at me before sitting beside me, itong ang bakante dahil w si Lynx.


    “Ah.. Long time no see, Asunscion” Gelo smirked at him, hindi ko m kung sarcastic ba ito o ano pero mukha namang wng pake si Adam dahil tumangong siya at tinungga ang ni-offer nng drink.


    “I heard you’re awyer now?” Bahagyang naki ang aking mga mata, Last year pa siya grumaduate e. He nodded not even ncing at Steve who asked.


    “Wew, Congrats Attorney” they allughed when Fortune who seems bothered suddenly talked.


    I can’t help but to get confused.


    “Guys? Why are you so awkward?” I asked still crossing my brows “Did you guys fought?” I asked the triplets but they just looked at me with disbelief.


    “Away agad, Peralta?!” Gelo acted hurt while helding his chest, okaysing na ‘to, delikado ” Ex mo kase siya! Syempre awkward para sa inyo!”


    Iughed while pointing at him.


    “Ayan naiisip niyo?!” Tatawa-tawa akong lumingon sa kanng apat, they all nodded making meughed again. “Dudes…” I smirked, umusog ako pappit kay Adam at inakbayan ito “Five years have past, move on na kami ‘oy! Di’ba? Attorney?!”


    His eyesnded on mine, still the same maic brown eyes, he nodded and smirked “Yeah…”


    Life is full of lies.


    I stered a smile before smirking at them proving I am right.


    “Well?” I even shrugged my shoulders, nagyayabang.


    Kung siguro ako pa yung Reu na patay na patay kay Asunscion for sure naka yakap na agad ako sa kanya ngayon, but well…. everything have changed.


    “Hey!” Lynx suddenly appeard and pulled my hair


    “A-aray!” I was about to grab her hair when someone pulled me, It was Adam.


    “Who are you? What are you doing?” His faced darkened while still holding my wrist and ring at Lynx.


    “Oohhh, you look familia—Oh my god?! Adamson Asunscion?!” Lynx yelped at nagmukha pa siyang bteng inasinan dahil sa bing pag-kembot nito “Uh-huh, someone’s back, Canary!”


    I chucked when she jumped to hug me, I looked at Adam.


    “I’m sorry, She’s Lynx.. My friend” I smiled apologetically to him and pushed Lynx making her sat on the couch “Tawagin mo pinsan nito” I ordered Fortune but he just rolled his eyes, syempre nasa pinas ang pinsan nito kaya si Fortune ang maga-asikaso dito.


    “Where’s Sadako?” Mabilis akong napayo kay Lynx ng bi itong mag-salita, kingina ano namang gagawin dito ni Sadako?!


    “Who’s Sadako?” I looked at Fortune, ito isa pang tanga.


    “Thedy with the long hair? And ring? You don’t know her?!” Lynx seems shocked with her widened eyes and half-opened lips “She’s th–”


    “Hi” When suddenly a woman out of nowhere approached us, Lynx eyes be small and red at the woman.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    “Siya!” Our eyes widened when Lynx suddenly stood up, eyes widened, jaw dropped, We have the same reaction–Lynx and I– when we saw who’s in front of me


    “She’s Sadako!!”


    “Soriena…”


    Is she really here? What the fuck, reunion?!


    “O-oh…” She looked shocked, mukhang hindi tga inaasahan to ha, tangina mo tadhana.


    “I’m sorry… She’s my plus one I was talking about, Fortune” he boredly looked at me before turning his gaze to Fortune who seems high because he’s smiling while staring at the floor, w33d$ pa. Char


    After an hour or two we decided to call that a night before bidding our goodbyes to each other.


    “Aga-aga!!” Mabilis akong napahmos sa mukha ko ng may kumatok sa pintuan na ak mo ay w nang bukas dahil sakas ng katok, sino na naman ba ‘to? “Sandale! Putangina!”


    Inis akong napa-kamot sa ulo ko at mabilis na tinungo ang pintuan at halos magw ang puso ko ng bumungad sa’kin ang isang anghel na pinyas sangit, Si Adam.


    “G-good m-morning” he said almost whispered, I saw how his eyes surveyed me from head to toe, kung jowa ko pa ‘to baka nahiya ako sa itsura ko ngayon pero sino ba ‘to? Char.


    “Ano?! Ang aga naman e!” I stumped my feet because of my frustration, sakit ng ulo ko, shit.


    “N-no.. Ak ko narito si Steve” he scratched his nose a little, his face reddened.


    “Namum ka, ayos ka Lang?” Pansin ko din ang kanina pa siya tingin ng tingin sa likudan niya, mamaya may nakikita p to’ng hindi ko nakikita e, pero wait “M-may nakikita ka bang m-multo?”


    This time hindi ko napign ang sarili ko na lumapit sa kaniya at ipalibot ang tingin ko, gago mag-isang ako dito.


    “What?” His brows crossed while looking at me confusedly but he just sighed “Aalis na ako… and please wear your shirt?!”


    Fuck.


    Mabilis akong napa-baba ng tingin at doon komang napansin kung anong dahn kung bakit namum ang mukha niya. Oh my god!!


    Mabilis ko’ng sinara ang pintuan at nagtatakbo sa banyo, putanginang katangahan yan Peralta!


    Napa-pikit ako ng mariin habang tinitignan ang sarili ko sa smin, Naka-suotmang ako ng isang pink boxer at isang ck na bra, bahagya pang naka-angat ang boxers ko na animo’y natupi sa dulo dahil sa pag-tulog ko, kingina, literal na tanga.


    “Okayng yan, brang ‘yon… brang ‘yon” pilit ko’ng kinakausap ang sarili ko para i-cheer up pero pakshet! Argh! Nakakahiya tga!

    With my forehead creased mabilis ko’ng kinuha ang cellphone ko na nasa tabi ng sink at tinignan kung sino’ng nag message.
