Mag-aalas kwatro na ng hapon wala parin si K. Ako narin ang nagluto ng lunch namin ni Uno dahil nag-ala una na lang ay wala pa siya. Uno tried to call her but she did not picked it up. I sent her a message baka napano siya pero wala rin siyang reply sa akin. I called her parents to check on her sabi naman nila na okay naman si Kaeth according to her bodyguard. Hindi lang talaga siya sumasagot sa mga tawag at text namin. 

"Why is K not picking up her phone?" Uno asked and frustration were evident in her voice. I sighed and looked at the door, nagbabakasakaling bumukas ito at pumasok siya. 

"When she went out this morning, how was her mood?" Uno looked up trying to remember what happened.

"There's nothing unusual. Her mood wasn't foul." Sagot niya at nakakapagtaka kung bakit hindi siya sumasagot sa mga tawag namin. Especially Uno's calls. She promised her to pick it up always. 

"Let's just wait for her." 

Alas dies na ng gabi pero ni kahit anino niya ay hindi ko pa nakikita. I want to go out and see her in person pero hindi ko ginawa dahil baka gusto lang niyang mapag-isa. Kaya nandito parin ako sa living room hinihintay siya kahit walang kasiguraduhan na uuwi siya rito. I have now the urge to call her bodyguard to ask her whereabouts pero I respect her privacy. 

I sighed for the nth time and tried to focus to my work I was in my laptop. This is the only I can be distracted from thinking too much about her. 

The door made a sound kaya agad akong napalingon sa direksyon nito. Nakita kong pumasok siya. I stood up at dali-dali itong nilapitan. Nang makalapit na ako, I smell liquor all over her. 

"Hey, bakit ka naglasing?" I asked as I hold her in her arms para alalayan siya dahil parang hindi niya na kayang maglakad pa. 

"Don't touch me." She said angrily and pushed me away. She still have strength but not that much kaya hindi ako masiyadong napalayo sa kaniya. 

"What happened baby?" I asked gently and hold her arms again na kanina lang ay nabitawan ko dahil sa ginawa niyang pagtaboy. 

"You happened." She pointed her finger at me and walked away. Nakasunod lang ako sa likod niya. What is happening? For months I've known her, pero ngayon ko lang siya nakitang ganito kalasing. 

She entered her bedroom at pumasok narin ako. 

"Stop following me. Go away." Maktol niya at iwinaksi ang kamay ko. 

"Baby, talk to me. Anong problema?" I asked again at lumapit sa kaniya. I saw how teary her eyes are. In any minute it will fall. I hugged her despite of her protest. 

"What's wrong K, tell me?" I whispered on her ears. 

"I hate all of you." She punched my chest lightly and I let her be. Hindi ko alam kung ano talaga ang nangyari, but I will stay. She needs me. 

"That Lanie, she told me Jasmine didn't treat me right because I don't deserve to be treated right." She sobbed in my shoulder and a sting of pain crossed in my heart. Jasmine again. Her ex. She's still not healed. 

"She told me that no one will treat me right, because of my attitude and weirdness. I am not pretty nor smart. I may be a student leader but I only have a low rank in the organization I belonged to." She continued and my heart beat races faster upon hearing what she said. How dare that Lanie? The audacity of that person. 

"And you" She looked at me and she pointed at me. Her finger were near to my nose. She is cute right now. She can still talk straightly but her body has lost its balance. 

"You happened. You came into my life like a lightning. But a lightning that stayed despite how I push it away. The way you treat me feels so unreal. Lanie's words were true. I am just nothing. I have nothing. I am not pretty nor smart. A good for nothing student leader. I can't boast anything and yet here you are afraid of me leaving you." I raised my hands and wiped her tears. She is in pain so do I. She doesn't deserve this. 

"She said also na walang magkakagusto sa akin. Then I thought of you, do you really like me? Or was chasing your main goal here and not me?" Now she is doubting me. I looked at her gently and smiled softly. Kahit nasasaktan narin ako sa pinagsasabi niya. 

"You deserve all the love that this world can offer my love. You deserve the love that I can offer. If that Lanie girl told you na walang magkakagusto sa iyo, then my heart will prove her wrong." I lifted her hand and put it to my chest. 

"Because my heart is always unease that time will come someone will get you away from me. Hindi kita maangkin dahil ang sarili mo ay para lang sayo, but I pray hard to God that in this lifetime we will spend each and every second with our lives together. At nangangamba ako na kahit malapit ka lang ngayon sa akin, ay baka kahit anong minuto ay makuha ka ng iba. Because baby, you are beautiful in and out, you don't know it but the people around you do. I fear that they will take you away from me because truth be told hindi lang ako ang nagkakarandapa sayo." I know a lot of people like her in the University. Chismis are everywhere. Kahit nga sa mga seniors niya ay may nagkakagusto sa kaniya. It started when she hosted the opening of math week. I handled one class in the fourth year and they asked me if she's available dahil may isang classmate silang nagkakagusto sa Kaeth ko. I told them that she's in a lowkey relationship with somebody. Kaya siguro hindi na ito nag confess kay Kaeth. Buti na lang.

"No, I don't believe you. I don't believe anyone else now." She shook her head and was about to turn around but I stopped her and I cupped her face to make her look at me. 

"Don't believe me, but let me prove it to you. Para saan pa ang pagka Mathematician ko if I will not prove to you that I am the correct formula for you. I will prove to the heavens and in this world that I, Elena Cruz, BS and MS Math had fallen deeply to Kaethrein Mascarpa a statistician in the making. Let me put values in x in your equation so you will know y I choose you." I kissed the top of her head and stared at her again. Her eyes trying to read mine and I smiled despite of my heart aching as I see her cry over those brainless words she have received.

Nabigla ako ng kwelyuhan niya ako at inilapit ang mukha ko sa kaniya. I am taller than her kaya nakayuko na ako ngayon. My face was inch away from hers. I gulped hardly trying to control my inner desire and that is to kiss her in the lips. She stared at me intently and her gaze traveled down to my lips. I gulped hard again. Have mercy to me Kaethrein. Baka hindi na ako makapagpigil. 

"Kiss me." She demanded.
