"What's your name?" I suddenly asked because we've been talking here but I still don't know his name. He stopped wearing his helmet and then looked at me with a smile. "Jordan ma'am." His forehead furrowed. I turned to him. "Hope is my name, not ma'am." He laughed before shaking his head. "I prefer ma'am, Hope." I shrugged before drinking the water. "If you say so.." "I'm leaving ma'am, later my bosses will be looking for me." I glanced at the wall clock, it's been an hour and we've been talking for more than a minute.

Buti nalang nagtanong si Ajing dahil kahit ako hindi ko maintindihan ang the next of tomorrow baka magkamali pa kami ng bilang. “Naguguluhan rin ako,” sagot ni Meling. “Patay tayo dyan,” komento naming apat. “Kailan yan Mitching?” hindi napigilang tanong ni Meling kay Mitching. “Oh my God, Meling, you don’t know? What happen to your braincells? My god! Since today is monday and tomorrow is tuesday and the next of tomorrow is Wednesday, okay?” “Kung hindi lang talaga kain ang pupuntahan natin, nasapak ko na yan,” gigil na bulong ni Meling.

Kailangan matapos na namin ang project na aming ginagawa. "Teka lang. Pwede ba mamaya na lang natin pag-usapan ang tungkol d'yan? Basta 'wag ka nang maghahanap ng ibang date sa party. Tinatanggap ko na talaga ang hinihingi mong pabor. I'll call you later."

Parang nagiging habit na yata nito kapag siya ang kausap. “See you tomorrow, Tashi.” Andito na naman ang pamatay na pagbanggit sa pangalan niya. Wala namang espesyal sa pangalan niya, pero kapag nanggaling na sa bibig ni Wade, parang nagiging iba ang dating. Parang may nakakaayang haplos. “Wear something comfortable tomorrow.”

Mabuti na iyong mag-ingat sila sa sandaling ito at maghintay ng tamang tyempo. “Bye…”

“Van—she’s safe here. Hindi ko siya pababayaan, just give her some time. Hindi siya aakto ng ganito kung walang maling nangyari o walang malaking problema. Kung wala ka ring alam ay hayaan mo akong kausapin siya." Muli ay natahimik si Van sa kabilang linya. “Ill talk to you tomorrow, okay? For now, hayaan mo muna siya.” Matagal bago nagpakawala ng malalim na paghinga si Van saka sumagot. “Okay.”

he raked his hair with his fingers and swallowed hard. "Huwag na." Dala ang bagahe, lumabas ako ng kwarto. I stopped right in front of him. Tumingkayad, at hinalikan ito sa pisngi. "Until we meet again," I walked straight outside, weeping. Kapag maayos na ako, at kapag ako pa rin ang mahal mo, baka pwede pang maging tayo ulit. Until our strings meet again. Goodbye... THE END *** Thank you for reading this story💕

Pero wala na sila sa mood na lumabas para kumain. Habang nilalampasan nila ang front desk, magalang na pinaalalahanan sila ng receptionist, “I'm sorry to bother, but the time of your stay will end tomorrow at tanghali. Mangyaring lisanin ang iyong mga silid bago magtanghali."

“Oo na, Apple! Basta magdala ka ng pasalubong, ha? Iyong arrowroot, gustong—gusto ko, dagdagan mo na rin ng coco jam, suman and bibingka.” “Ang dami mong hinihiling, ha?” “Naka—door to door bus ka naman, Apple. Kaya keri lang iyon.” “Oo na! Oo na! Oh, siya see you tomorrow morning, mga 2AM. Bye! May need pa akong puntahan today, kukunin ang TOR ko sa campus then mamayang hapon ay uuwi na ako.” “Okay, Apple. See you tomorrow morning! Promise mas mauuna akong dumating sa iyo. Bye!”
