Lia's POV:Mag-isa lang ako sa bahay ngayon. Kanina lang ay umalis si Grandma at Grandpa for their yearly physical examination. Kaharap ko si Onion, I decided to film him habang binibigyan ko siya ng treats. "Hey Onion come here to Moma! Come!" Utos ko sa kanya. Tumakbo naman si Onion palapit sa akin kung saan ako naka-upo. He's jumping on me as I am squatting on the floor. "Wait, I'll give you treats but you have to listen to Moma first. Sit down!" Which he did naman. "Very good baby!" I fed him a treat."Now kiss Moma on the cheek" I pointed my right cheek, he did kiss."The other side too." He did the same."Woah! Moma is so proud of you. Ba't ang talino ng baby ko." I patted him sabay bigay ng treats.Pagkatapos niyang kainin yung binigay ko sa kanya ay kinarga ko siya and now Onion is sitting on my lap as I sit on the sofa. After some time, I decided to post the video on my social media. As I'm thinking of something to caption, I looked at Onion na maayos na naka-upo sa lap ko

Lia's POV:Fast forward. Ang bilis ng panahon, ito ako kakalabas lang ng airport. I am waiting for Kuya Lio to pick me up. I called him before my flight through Grandpa's phone since nasira yung phone ko nung time na muntikan na akong malunod sa stream.Hindi naa ko nagpabili ng bago since may landline naman sa bahay nila Granny. Nakatayo lang ako ng marinig ko si Onion sa cage nito na tumatahol. "Arf-arf-" He is wiggling his tail. "Shhh! Onion no, you can't be noisy here." Sita ko, baka kasi mainis yung mga tao sa paligid."Are you hungry? I promise, you will eat once we get home." Dagdag ko pa.He is still wiggling his tail. Hindi ko na lang sana muna papansinin si Onion."You miss Dada? I miss you too." I flinched when a familiar man bends his one knee down and talk to Onion."Let's go!." Saad niya sabay tayo at bitbit sa cage ni Onion.He looked at me straight in the face, nagkatitigan kami pareho since sa kanya ako nakatingin kanina pa lang, trying to figure out why he is here in

Author's POV:Fast forward, malalim na ang gabi, Ethan is driving back home. They’ve been quite for a while."Don't you have plans to talk?" Tanong niya kay Lia. Napatingin si Lia dito na naka-kunot ang noo. "Sa naa-alala ko, ako yung salita nang salita kanina pa. Nag-arcade na tayo at kumain, nag-malling na rin tayo pero mabibilang ko lang ata yung binitawan mong salita." Lia said.Napahinto sa pagda-drive si Ethan. Huminga siya ng malalim, bago tiningnan si. Nagpipigil itong mainis sa kaibigan. Napatingin si Ethan kay Lia at ganoon rin naman ang dalaga. "Lia, alam mo na gagawin ko lahat para lang intindihin ka pero please naman. Napapagod rin ako. Ano bang ginawa kong mali para hindi mo ako kausapin?" Tanong nito.Ni minsan hindi naranasan ni Lia na mainis o magalit si Ethan sa kanya pero ngayon, iba yung seryoso ng mukha ni Ethan pati ang pananalita nito."Kinaka-usap naman kita ah!" Saad ni Lia.Napahinga nang malalim si Ethan."You know that's not what I mean." Saad nito.Kinak

Lia's POV:Masyado atang masakit yung ulo ko. Nagising ako nang marinig ko ang pamilyar na tunog ng cellphone pero alam ko namang hindi akin yun. Nakapikit parin ako at nakiramdam lang, I'm half-asleep half awake. The ringtone went silent, I did not bother to think where that sound is coming from at matutulog na sana ulit ako pero naramdaman kong may sumiksik sa likurang bahagi ng leeg ko at may yumakap ng mahigpit sa akin from the back. Dahan dahan kong dinilat ang mata ko. Una kong napansin ang isang kamay na nakayakap sa akin habang batid ko rin na nakaunan ako sa isang braso, the same part of the arm na naka-holding hands sa kaliwang kamay ko. Napalunok ako, sunod na napansin ko yung desinyo ng room. This room isn't mine but someone I know. "Hhmmm!!" I flinched upon hearing someone humming shortly from my back.It's a man's voice and I know who that voice's is, kinabahan ako lalo. After few seconds, hindi ko na nakayanan. I turned my back only to see Ethan's face close to mine and

Author's POV:"You know what Lia, I am very excited to go to work by Monday and wear the suit you chose earlier." Gab said habang naglalakad sila sa loob ng mall.Napatawa si Lia. "As if naman ako ang bumili niyan." Saad ni Lia. "But you chose it, that's a big deal for me." Saad ni Gab habang nakatitig kay Lia.Nakatalikod si Lia kay Gab habang nauna itong maglakad."I know I made a mistake Lia." Saad niya ng pabulong."Hmmm? Did you call my name Kuya Gab?" Lia turned her back and looks at Gab. "Huh? No!" Saad ni Gab, he lied. Nagpatuloy lang si Lia na maglakad pagkatapos nun hanggang sa makarating sila malapit sa escalator. that's the time they heard a commotion. "Yung bata baka mahulog sa escalator." Sigaw ng iilan.Napalingon si Lia at nakita niya ang bata na kaedad ni Tin nasa five years old na papasakay mag-isa sa escalator. "LIA!" Sigaw ni Gab. Biglang tumakbo si Lia and without a second thought agad siyang pumunta sa escalator kung saan nakasakay na yung bata. Umandar ito
