"L. Yuchengco as in Lee Yuchengco? May iba pa bang ibig sabihin iyong L niya. Lee ba talaga ang totoo niyang pangalan? Or, nickname lang? Is he somehow related to the Yuchengco that I know? Kay Leon kaya? Kaano-ano niya kaya si Levi Yuchengco?" Pinilig ko ang aking ulo at kinalma ang sarili. "Maraming Yuchengco sa Pilipinas. Baka kaapelyido lang o hindi kaya ay distant relative." Mariin akong pumikit "Anak nga ako ng Mama ko. Our attraction for filipino-chinese na Yuchengco ang apelyido ay deep-rooted, it runs in the blood." Malalim akong bumuntong-hininga at binugahan ang bangs ko. My phone rang. Nang makita ang pangalan ni Lee. Nataranta ako. Hindi ko malaman kung sasagutin ko ba iyon agad at itatanong sa kaniya kung may kilala ba siyang Leon o Levi Yuchengco. If I did, mawi-weirduhan siya. "Iyong kotse nasa baba na. I already instructed Mang Francis. He knows where to bring you," sabi sa akin ni Lee. Parang binilinan niya lang talaga ako. Hindi na siya naghintay ng sagot at b

"Hey, are you okay? Do you only know him by his nickname?" Ko-en asked, that snapped me from my thoughts. Ngumiti ako sa kaniya at tumanggo. "I didn't know that he's Levi fucking Yuchengco," I muttered. Ko-en tilted his head as his forehead creased a bit. He snorted a chuckle. "I only read about him in articles and hear about him in the news. He and the Yuchengco's are all over the news." "I caught the big fish without trying, and I didn't even know I already had it in my arm," I added. Ko-en chuckled. "Lee's private. I wouldn't be surprise kung ngayon mo lang talaga nalaman." "Ngayon lang talaga. I only know him as Lee, and earlier today I found out that he's a Yuchengco, and then his real name comes out of your mouth." Binalik ni Ko-en ang kamay sa bulsa ng slacks niya. "And is that a bad thing? Did I ruin whatever you two has by accidentally spilling who he really is? Hindi ko naman alam na hindi mo pa pala talaga siya kilala." "Ruin anything? You did not; as a matter

Limot ko na ang bilang kung ilang beses ko na bang tinawag si Levi habang pilit kong hinahabol ang malalaki nitong hakbang. "Lee!" I said, for the last time. Kung hindi pa rin niya ako haharapin. Plano ko sana na hayaan na lang muna siya at umuwi na sa amin, but as soon as he heard that name from my lips. Levi stopped on his track. Hawak ang dibdib, hinahapo at pilit na pinapalitan ang hangin na nawala sa katawan dahil sa paghahabol ko sa kaniya. "Ano bang problema mo?" sigaw ko rito. "Bakit mo biglang inaaway ang kaibigan mo?!" Levi's eyes soften to an emotion that I'm unsure whether I saw it right or not. He looks scared, like a kid, fearing that his mother would abandon him. "Huwag kang sumigaw, Tel. Huwag mo akong sigawan," anito sa halos nagmamakaawang boses. Litong-lito ako sa kinikilos niya. It felt like I was dealing with a traumatized Levi; like me, shouting at him was a trigger for something that I didn't know he was suffering from. "S-Sorry," I said; the change

I pulled away from Levi to catch air. Iminulat nito ang nangungusap niyang mga mata. His lips were glossy and swollen from making out. Mabagal na humahaplos ang likod ng kamay niya sa bewang ko. I adjusted myself on his lap. Levi's lips parted at the sensation that we both felt. "Magkano grab galing dito pa-Angono?" There was a few seconds of silence. "May grab ka sa cellphone?" tanong ko ulit. "What would I use that for?" tanong niya pabalik. "Para sa grab car? Kapag u-order ng pagkain?" Adoration swathed in his eyes. Levi tilted his head as he watched me in awe. "May kotse ka nga pala, and you have people ordering for you, most probably." Luminggon ako para abutin ang cellphone ko na nasa center table. Humigpit ang hawak niya sa bewang ko, tila nanggigil na pero pinipigilan pa rin ang sarili. "Anong password ng wifi? Wala na yata akong data. Maki-connect ako. Kailangan ko nang umuwi. Baka iwan na ni Sora ang mga gamit ko roon sa may arko pag di pa rin ako umuwi." Levi s

Levi pulled over in front of Morelli, an hour before 9 am. Hindi na ako late kaya siguro naman mas mabait na sa akin si Elaia. "Salamat sa paghatid. Libre kita sa unang sahod ko rito. Ano bang gusto mo?" "Ikaw," sagot ni Levi. Tumanggo-tanggo ako sa kaniya at ngumiti. "Sige. Ako na lang ang mamimili kung saan kita ililibre." Levi chuckled cutely, his eyes nearly closing whenever he laughed like that. "Aren't you forgetting something?" Levi asked. Hawak ko na iyong handle at palabas na dapat ng Aston Martin. Binuksan ko ang bag at inisa-isa ang essentials, "Nandito naman lahat." Levi gently taps his lips. "Hmm? Ano ito parang mag-boyfriend lang?" Reklamo ko sa kaniya. "About that. We'll talk about that later." "Talk about what? Linawin mo kasi. Feeling ko tuloy parati akong sabog pagkausap kita." "Label, Tel. On our way to the clinic. We'll talk about our label." It felt like my heart had sunk to the depths of a cold, dark, lifeless ocean. "Kailangan ba iyon? Okay n
