He crouched down, rescued my poor, scattered okoy from the ground, and offered his hand like it was the most normal thing to do.

"Okay ka lang?" tanong niya. 'Yung boses niya, hindi siya tumatawa.. genuine yung mga tingin niya.

At doon na ako tuluyang bumigay. Bigla na lang tumulo 'yung luha ko, at sa isang iglap, humagulgol ako nang parang batang nawalan ng laruan. Hindi ko rin maintindihan kung dahil ba sa sakit ng tuhod ko o sa bigat na matagal ko nang kinikimkim.

Tangina. 'Yun lang ang gusto kong marinig.

"HA? Hala Diesel, bad ka!" sigaw niya, sabay tingin sa aso niyang hyper na nagpasimula ng buong kalbaryo kong 'to.

"Pinaiyak mo siya!" dagdag pa niya habang hinabol ng caretaker ang aso nila na para bang inosente.

"Makulit talaga 'yun kapag nakawala," sabi niya, humihingal habang lumapit ulit. Inabot niya ang ID kong may konting putik, at bago pa man ako makaabot dito, pinunasan niya muna gamit ang laylayan ng t-shirt niya. Parang hindi siya nahihiyang madumihan para lang sa isan

    Kanina pa kami umiinom. May tama na rin ako, kaya naikuwento ko lahat. Lahat. Mula sa five months na ipon na ginastos ko para sa first concert tickets hanggang sa ibinigay ko ang engineering slot ko for him."Ginawa mo talaga 'yon?!" Bambi snapped."Five months mong ipon, Liora?! Sa tickets?! Tapos pinamigay mo lang?!"Napakagat ako sa labi. "Support is... love?""Support is STUPID kung sa kanya mo ibinuhos!" Tinutok niya daliri niya sa noo ko. "Botong-boto pa naman kami don sa hayop na 'yon! Eh jerk pala!"Tahimik si Lana, swirling her drink with calculated elegance, pero halata sa mata niya—galit siya para sa'kin."Honestly, Liora," she said, low and steady. " Nakaka disappoint yang ginawa mo. Sinacrifice mo pangarap mo. For what? Para sa lalaking ni hindi ka naman kaya tignan?""Sabi na e! Kaya nagtataka kami bakit hindi ka nakapasok sa engineering kasi sobrang talino mo, yun pala pinamigay mo slot mo!" Bambi added.Tumawa ako ng mahina. "Sorry na. Wala lang. Gusto ko lang... mapan

    The words hit me like a slap.Pabida ka masyado.As if everything I'd done—tutoring him, believing in him, seeing him through his worst days was just performance. As if showing up meant wanting attention, not offering care.And in that moment, I stopped speaking. I stopped hoping. Because if there was one thing I never wanted to be in his eyes, it was pabida.So I nodded once. Just once. "Got it," I whispered. "Don't worry."But then he said it—low, sharp, and unforgiving.."Alam ko naman, okay? Napapansin kita. Lahat ng effort mo. Yung pag help mo saakin sa math subjects, yung araw na nag colapse ako dahil sa pagod at dinala mo ako sa clinic, yung pag-alok ng extra hours kahit busy ka. Everything. Alam ko lahat." I froze."Akala mo hindi? You think hindi ko napapansin 'pag nag-aadjust ka ng schedule mo para lang magturo or 'pag nagpapanggap kang okay lang kahit palaging last minute ako? Or 'pag dinadamay ka ng pamilya ko kahit hindi naman kita kadugo?"I stared at him, stunned. A pa

    "'Yung formula na 'to," sabi ko isang gabi habang tinuturo 'yung equation sa notes, pilit pinapakalma ang boses ko, "madali lang 'to kapag nakuha mo 'yung flow ng ste—""Alam ko na," he snapped, eyes still glued to the notebook. "I'm not stupid."Natigilan ako. "I didn't say you were—""Well, you act like it," he muttered, sharp and low.My hands went still. Dahan-dahan kong sinara 'yung libro, heart pounding like it wanted to get out of my chest or out of this room."Anong problema mo?" I asked, this time looking at him fully. My voice was calm, but strained. Naiipon na rin kasi. Kahit sinasalo ko lang dati, ngayon sumasakit na talaga."Wala akong problema," he said, not even meeting my eyes. "Baka ikaw ang problema."The words landed like a slap. "Problema?" Tumayo ako, clutching the book against my chest. "I'm doing my best to help you. Para pumasa ka.""Then maybe you shouldn't have," he spat.I blinked. Parang may umigkas sa loob ko."You are the problem here," he said, standing

    It was Mrs. Sandy Silva. Pretty, poised and wearing an apron over her designer dress. 'Yung tipong magugulat kang she just made sinigang while wearing pearl earrings. She walked over with a warm smile and wiped her hands on a dish towel.I stood quickly. "Ah—okay lang po, hindi na po ako mag—""Nonsense," she said. "You've been helping Thorne since high school palang siya. I insist."Thorne was still seated beside me, twirling his pen. He muttered, "Ayun. Favorite ka na ni Mama."I shot him a glare. "I don't need to be your mom's favorite. Just your passing grade."Mrs. Silva laughed. "Hay nako. I like you since then. Straightforward and smart. Just what this boy needs."I gave a shy smile as she walked back to the dining room.Thorne leaned in, voice low. "She's really serious about the dinner thing. You say no, she'll send food home with you and cry in the kitchen.""Noted." sagot ko nalang at baka nga umiyak pa mama niya dahil saakin.Dinner was quiet, except for Mrs. Silva's happy

    "Ibang klase ka rin e no? Ano pabang hindi mo kayang gawin?" seryosong tanong niya.I didn't respond. Instead, I turned to the board, drew an equation, and told myself to focus.Because sure he finally saw me now.Don't get me wrong, masaya ako na kinakausap niya ako pero tangina, after this? wala nanaman. I've always seen him e, gusto kolang na ma appreciate niya ako. It turned out Thorne could actually focus when he wanted to. Kaya naman pala niya. Bakit hindi siya nakapag focus na kilalanin ako?Or maybe ayaw niya lang talagang mawala ang banda niya at ipatapon siya sa abroad. Either way, for the next hour and a half, he actually tried. He took notes. He asked questions. Hindi siya nag-cellphone or nag-gigitara. He even reread the same problem thrice just to get it right.I almost cried.This was a first... first time he actually cared. He didn't pass Calculus because he was attentive. I literally spoon-fed him with detailed reviewers and summaries. Maybe he reviewed them or somet

    The banana cake was still warm when I got off the tricycle, fresh from our oven and made by my mother. Konting pasasalamat, konting pambawi. After all, suki namin ang pamilya Silva sa laundry shop.Wrapped in foil and tucked neatly inside a brown paper bag, the banana cake sat on top of my review notes like a peace offering or a soft banana-scented shield depende kung gaano ka-badtrip si Thorne ngayon, ngayong buong bahay nila alam nang bumabagsak siya sa Engineering. Hindi ko kasalanan yon, ah? Calculus lang tinuturo ko diyan. Apparently sa calculus lang siya pumasa at ewan ko kung anong dasal ginawa niya e wala naman lagi sa focus.I imagined his face the moment his dad found out. For sure, may kasamang sermon, disappointed sighs, at yung classic na "Bakit kasi puro kana lang banda?"Oh, here we go again. Kahapon lang, magkaharap kami sa dressing room habang nilalagay ko ng lipgloss lips niya. Ngayon, tutor mode ulit ready to save his grades like I haven't been doing that every Sat
