NUMBER FIVE: Buy things I’ve never bought before. It could be bags, clothes, expensive make-ups, etc
PS: WITH MY OWN MONEY!“Ha?! A-ano bang nangyari?!” napatayo si Meteor sa hapagkainan matapos sabihin ng kapatid ang pakay nito sa kung bakit siya tumawag. Halos tumakas ang tibok ng puso ni Meteor nang marinig na umiiyak ang kapatid sa kabilang linya.
“Nasaan kayo ngayon?” napakapit ng mahigpit si Meteor sa mesa at tiningnan si Josh na nag-aalalang nagtatanong sa kaniya ng pabulong. Kasalukuyan silang kumakain nang tumawag ang kapatid sa kaniyang umiiyak. Pinalayas daw sila ni Tita Bebang!
“Papunta na kaming Baguio, ate. Ginamit ko muna ‘yung ipon ko since last year para makabyahe. Ate, kunin mo na kami ni bunso.” Meteor’s heart broke when she heard her siblings’ cry. She bit her lower lip and walked back and forth, thinking of how she can go there faster.

TWENTY-SEVENMETEOR WAS NOT THE one who suffered from lying down in the hospital bed for weeks, yet she feels so weak and exhausted. Probably because of sleepless and unfinished naps, the feeling of distress sleeping in an unfamiliar sofa was like a fish out of the sea.“Manang, kumusta ka ngay? Hindi ba maaapektuhan ‘yung baby mo diyan?” Tiningnan ni Riu si Meteor, may bahid ng pag-aalala ang mukha nito. Meteor just nodded, she peeled a dry skin from her lips with her teeth.I think I’ll be needing a new lip balm. Ganito talaga si Meteor sa tuwing stress o puyat, she tried different lip balms yet nothing really lasted. Kahit pa yata araw-araw siyang mag-lip balm, kapag stress siya, the efforts won’t last.Meteor sighed as she carried their bags up to her condo. She’ll remind herself later to thank Josh for all the help, halos gabi-gabing nasa ospital si Josh. Hindi nga a

TWENTY-SIXGUSTONG MAIYAK ni Meteor sa mga narinig. She had never heard Riu talk like that. Nuong una’y gusto niyang bumangon atsigawan si Riu sa pagiging mataraypero bigla namang umatras iyon. Her sister really cared for her.Nagpalit ng puwesto si Meteor sa paghiga. Ayaw niyang makita ng kapatid o ni Azren na umiiyak siya. Her senseswoke up when Azren carried her to the bed. Hindi naman siya tulog mantika. Konting ingay nga lang ay paniguradong magigising na siya. Pero nahihiya kasi siyang gumising kanina at makita niya ang sariling buhat ni Azren.Pasimple niyang pinunasan ang luha bago huminga ng malalim. Hindi niya alam kung ilang oras siyang natutulog. Simula siguro nung umalis si Josh dahil may emergency daw itong dadaluhan hanggang sa dumating si Azren.“May facebook ka ba? Instagram? Twitter? Any socmed accounts?” narinig nanaman niyang tanong ni Riu.

TWENTY-FIVE“MOM?” AZREN stretched his arms when his Mother called. He’s been working for a couple of hours, haven’t even ate his lunch. He can skip meals when he’s working. Tsaka niya lang mararamdaman ang gutom at pagod kapag na-distract siya.He clutched his stomach when it grumbled. Damn, what time is it? He unconsciously looked at the small clock on his wooden table. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang mararamdaman nang makita ang mukha nilang dalawa ni Alex sa tabi ng orasan.He needs to shop new stuff for his office and penthouse. Everything that he sees reminds him of his ex. Wala siyang magagawa. He was too dawned on her before… until now, he guessed. Alex just hits different.“Azren?” he blinked several times to gain his senses back. Mariin niyang ipinikit ang mga mata nang maramdaman ang pagbibigat ng mga tulikap.“

TWENTY-FOUR METEOR TUCKED THE strands of hair behind her ears while feeling heavy inside. She was trying to ease the guilt and hesitation to call ‘him’. It just felt wrong. So wrong. Meteor sighed as if her problems would vanish with breathing out, but no. It’s been months! And she has the audacity to call him again after being MIA? She clenched her phone and shut her eyes close. “Bahala na si Batman.” She dialed his number and every ring she hears makes her heartbeat reckless. Nakailang lunok na si Meteor, nakailang buntonghinininga, nakailang kamot sa batok; trying to find the courage. She just wants someone to talk to. “Hello?” his morning voice filled Meteor’s eardrums. She felt a tingling feeling on her stomach when she heard his voice again. She missed him so much. She missed Josh so much. Meteor felt like crying. She didn’t know what she was crying for. Is it because of her crashing ego? Or because she badly

TWENTY-THREEMETEOR WOKE UP from the small humming sound inside Azren’s car. It was not noisy nor annoying, a solemn lullaby rather. Humikab siya at inunat ang mga kamay saka napatingin sa labas ng binatana. They’re still on the road, but right now, they were surrounded by buildings. Mabagal ang andar ng sasakyan, at dahil nakahiga siya sa upuan ay hindi niya makita nag nasa labas maliban sa mga matataas na gusali sa labas.Probably Manila’s heavy traffic again. It has always been like this, always traffic, always hectic. Meteor loved Metro Manila because of its messy narration. Manila speaks its story itself. Hindi na nito kailangan pa ng magkukuwento. But despite of its spitting story, it remains mysterious to Meteor’s eyes.This is why Meteor admired this city more than her own hometown. Because it was obvious but mysterious at the same time. The only thing she hated about Manila was traffic. T

TWENTY-TWO FROM LOOKING at his laptop, Azren’s gazes went to Meteor’s. She walked slowly to him, hesitating to talk to Azren. Bahagya pang nakayuko ang babae, tila nag-iisip kung itutuloy ba niya ang pakikipag-usap sa binata. Napansin ni Azren na suot nito ang dress na suot niya nuong pumunta sila dito sa bahay ng mga magulang. Is she going out? Azren leaned on the sofa and crossed his arms. Meteor doesn’t seem to notice that Azren was watching her hesitate. Bahagyang umiling si Meteor na ikinangiti ni Azren. This woman is actually not bad. She’s easy to be with, she understands everything he says, he also admits that she is cute, damn. Where did that word come from? She’s a good actress, too... After what happened at the garden, Azren didn’t know what to say that time. Her acting is great! Muntik na siyang maniwala na totoo ang mga nangyayari. He must reward this woman for her great acting.
