There's been a lot on my mind with the cafe and bills, that I haven't really had time for company. I've been giving him several excuses to avoid going, but I've officially run out. "You are here five times out of the week. Don't you have some Mafia business to attend to?"

Lumabas na pala ng event hall ang kaibigan niyang si Barney. Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ni Amos. “Hindi nga natuloy. She rain on my parade.” “Just be thankful, Amos. Niligtas ka niya sa kahihiyan.” “No!” asik niya. “Hindi ako magiging thankful sa ginawa niya. She’s a witch.” Mahinang natawa si Barney sa reaksiyon niya. “A beautiful witch.” Tama naman ang sinabi ng kaibigan. Maganda talaga si Zein pero natabunan ng inis ang lahat ng mga papuri niya para sa dalaga.

How crazy of me? After an hour thinking crazy things and kung sino talaga ang kasama mamaya ni Chad, I stood up, wala na akong ganang magtrabaho buti na lang wala na akong meeting with the client. *** The silence welcomed me as I opened the door in our condo. Syempre alibi ko lang na kuya invited me for dinner para hindi naman ako magmukhang kawawa habang siya nagpapakasaya sa piling ng babae niya.

“Hindi kita narinig pumasok.” “Sinadya kong pumasok ng walang ingay. Baka kasi may bantay ka sa baba, baka marinig ako at mabuking tayo. Isa pa, alam ko na busy ka at ayokong makaistorbo.” Ngumiti si Luisa at ginawaran ng masuyong ngiti ang nobyo. “I’m glad you’re here.” “I told you, remember? When the rain pours, I will come to you.”

Katulad nila tahimik lang din ito na nakatanaw sa mga tao. Napabuntong hininga na lang siya habang nakikinig sa mga malulutong na tawanan ng mga tao. Hindi na rin niya maiwasang mainggit. First time in her life na makaramdam siya ng ganito kaboring na araw at feeling niya ay any moment masisiraan na siya ng bait. Well, aminado siyang boring din ang daily routine niya dahil shop at bahay lang ang napupuntahan niya. Pero dahil tutuk ito sa kanyang negosyo kaya aminado siyang walang oras na makakaramdam siya ng pagka-boring.

Kaso minsan pala sobrang tagal din ng paghihintay na dapat nating gawin. "Ma'am, hinahanap ka po ni Ma'am Daisy," Janine, my assistant said. Napatingin ako sa kanya. She was all smiles kaya napangiti na lang din ako. Tinanguan ko na lamang siya and left my unfinished bouquet to her. Sunday has been the busiest day of the week. The orders are a lot more than the usual lalo na ngayon at Valentine's day pa at dalawa lang kami ni Janine ang nandito sa shop. I don't even know how we managed to make it half the day.

Pinag diinan ko pa talaga para dama hanggang buto ang sama ng loob ko. "Ano ba kasi ang nangyari?" Dakilang chismoso, Clyde is the name. "Ganito kasi 'yan bumili ako ng kape sa shop ni Jacob tapos my nakabanggaan akong lalaki tapos pinagsalitaan niya ako sa coffee shop eh maraming tao. Saka hindi naman ako tanga, sadyang hindi ko lang siya na napansin kasi nakatingin pa ako kay Jacob no'ng paharap na ako."

I smiled bitterly. Twelve days, Kien. You have twelve days to fall in love with me. A week and five days. Give me twelve days to be happy with you. And after that, I will start to move on. I will start a new life without you and I will accept the fact that you can't and will never love me back. Just twelve days.

Pati nga ang bedsheet, kumot at unan ko ay may mga naka-print na notes and guitar. I opened my speaker and played the song “Strong” by One Direction. Well, they are my favorite boyband group. I even mourned when Liam Payne died. My phone vibrated in my skirt’s pocket so I got it. Someone is calling me. An unknown number. I rejected it before putting it on the bedside table and just went to the shower. I checked my phone again when I finished drying my hair and it's flooded with messages and missed calls from that unknown caller. “Who's this jerk?” I asked before opening the messages.

*****RAIN***** HINDI NAGING madali ang mga sumunod na araw para kay Rain lalo pa't pakiramdam niya'y pasan-pasan niya ang mundo sa sobrang bigat ng kalooban niya. Imagine Jackie and her were fighting for something she doesn't know, her friend just suddenly changed and built a rage for her for something she wasn't aware of.
