"Why can't you answer me?"
Nanatili lang akong nakayuko at hindi siya matingnan sa mata. Hindi ko kayang makita na umiiyak si Tricia.
"I'll explai—"
"Anong gagawin ko sa explanation mo!" She shouted. "It's a yes or no question, Y/N."
"Trish, please."
Hindi siya sumagot at huminga lang nang malalim.
"I'll give you until tomorrow night," sabi niya at umayos nang upo. "I need an answer by then,"
"Are you.. are you sure?"
"Sana ngayon alam mo na kung gaano kita kagusto, to the point na handa akong tiisin 'yong sakit sa nakita ko para sayo," aniya at tiningnan ako, her soft eyes are back. "But lovie please, if.. if kapatid ko ang nanay ni Lian, sana alam mo rin na hindi ako maninira ng pamilya," she then held my hand. "Don't hurt me, hmm? I trust you, lovie I trust you."
She hugged me at mas lalo lang kami naiyak. "I'm sorry for shouting, love hindi ko sinasadya,"
"It's okay, Trish," I answered in between my sobs. "Kahit anong mangyari, you should always remember na pipiliin kita araw araw, hmm?" I kissed her forehead. "I'll give you the answer that you need tomorrow night. Sana.. sana pagkatapos non, piliin mo pa rin ako."
Naramdaman kong tumatango siya. I lifted her head at pinunasan ang luha niya. She did the same to me.
"You still look good kahit crying," asar ko.
"Ikaw hmm puwede na,"
Natawa kami pareho at siguradong mukha na kaming baliw ngayon dahil habang tumatawa ay may kaunting luha pa rin.
We decided to eat the food we bili sa Jollibee kanina nang sabay sa loob ng sasakyan.
She looks so happy while eating. Ibang iba sa kanina.
"Your chicken," she suddenly talked at tumingin sa pagkain ko. "Mas madaming skin,"
Napatingin ako sa manok ko at oo nga, kung titingnan ay mas marami 'yong balat ng akin kaysa sa kaniya.
I sticked my tongue out para asarin siya at inirapan niya lang ako. I started na himayin 'yong manok ko at inihiwalay ang balat sa laman. Nang matapos ay inilipat ko lahat ng balat sa kinakainan ni Tricia.

Napatingin siya sa akin. "Why are you giving me the balat of your chicken?"
"You like it, e."
"Pero diba, you like it also?"
Sa totoo, oo gustong gusto ko ng balat nung manok. Ngayon ay naiinggit na ako dahil nasa kaniya na lahat pero tuwing titingnan ko ang mata at ngiti niya, halatang masaya na siya ron at masaya na rin ako sa ganon.
I smiled. "I don't like it today. Sayo na lahat,"
"Are you sure?" she keep on asking me kung sigurado ba ako na sa kaniya na lang 'yon lahat.
I nodded and patted her head. "Eat well, baby."
Bigla siyang napatingin sa akin at sumubo na lang ako para maiwasan 'yong tingin niya.
"What did you say?"
"Huh? Uh eat well?"
"No, yung kasunod niyan," pag pipilit niya.
"Tricia? Eat well, Tricia?"
"No! You called me.. baby!"
Natawa ako at kinurot ang pisngi niya. "Go eat, we need to go,"
"Ang daya mo! Pero sige, mukhang marami rin food sa hotel!"
Tumatango tango na lang ako at nag tuloy kami sa pagkain habang pinapanood ang mga sasakyan na dumadaan sa kalsada.
Nang matapos ay binigyan ko siya ng inumin bago kami sumakay ulit sa kotse at bumyahe.
"Can I turn on the music ba? Ang tahimik masyado, e." Tricia asked at agad naman akong tumango.
Nang buksan niya 'yon ay nagulat kami pareho nang marinig 'yong kumakanta.
"It's Jill.. right?" tanong ni Tricia.
"Uh yeah,"
"Why do you have this? Lagi mo ba 'to pinapakinggan?"
"I think nakalimutan alisin ni Jill last time," sagot ko.
Jill gave me a recording nung mga cover niya ng different songs. And whenever magkasama kami sa kotse, ayun lagi ang pinapakinggan namin. Last time pinlay niya 'yon at nakalimutan yata niyang alisin kaya 'yon ang nag play ngayon.
"Let's change it na lang," I said and I was about to change the song when Tricia stopped me.
"Huwag na, let's listen to Jill. It's been a while rin since I heard her sing properly, like ayan covers niya,"
I looked at her. Worried na baka hindi naman talaga okay sa kaniya. "It's okay, lovie. But, this is just because she's your.. bestfriend, right?"
I quickly nodded. "Nothing more, Trish."
Hindi na siya sumagot at hinayaan na lang naming mag play yung mga kanta ni Jill.
Sa haba ng byahe ay napapansin kong napapapikit na si Tricia pero nilalabanan niya 'yon.
"Hey, you can sleep," I tapped her shoulders.
"Ayokong tulugan ka,"
"It's fine. Gisingin na lang kita mamaya," she's looking at me at parang tatanggi pa. "Sige na, umidlip ka na muna,"

"Don't iwan me, ha?"
"I'm here, Trish." I said and kissed the back of her hand.
She smiled at me before totally closing her eyes at tuluyang matulog.
I waited for a few minutes before checking kung tulog na siya talaga. At nang masigurado ko ay agad kong ichinarge and cellphone ko.
Hinintay kong magkaroon ito ng kaunting charge bago binuksan at dumiretso sa messages.
Buong byahe ay iniisip ko lang yung bagay na 'yon. Alam ko sa sarili kong hindi ko pa kaya at hindi pa 'to ang tamang oras, corny man pakinggan pero mukhang tadhana na ang gumagawa ng paraan para makalaya kami sa katotohanang matagal na naming iniingatan.
At wala nang paraan para takasan pa 'yon. Mas pipiliin kong sabihin 'yon kahit mahirap, kaysa mawala sa akin si Tricia nang dahil lang don.
Hindi ko ipagpapalit kung anong meron kami at si Tricia mismo sa kahit ano.
I'm willing to take this risk for her. She's worth it afterall.
Ano man ang maging desisyon niya pagkatapos ay nasa kaniya na, I.. don't have the rights na pigilan siya.
Few hours after, finally ay nakarating kami sa hotel. I gently tapped Tricia's cheeks at nagising naman siya agad.
"We're here,"
"Ang ganda pa ng panaginip ko," reklamo niya at inayos ang salamin.
"Ako ba 'yon na nasa panaginip mo?"
She giggled. "Hindi, si Taylor Swift,"
Ngiting ngiti siyang bumaba ng sasakyan at sinalubong naman kami ng mga staff nung hotel.
"Magandang araw po, Doc Tricia and Arki!" Bati nung parang pinakahead nila.
We greeted them also one by one at saka nila kami inasikaso paakyat sa kwarto namin. Tricia looked at me nang malaman niya na magkahiwalay kami ng kwarto.
"Tita Vp booked the rooms, not me," I whispered. "Just your mom being protective sa anak niya, let it go this time," I secretly rubbed her back. "Mine is few steps away lang naman,"
Wala siyang nagawa kundi tumango at sinamahan naman siya nung sumalubong sa amin kanina na babae sa room niya.
While me, I'm with this girl na kanina pang nakangiti.
"Arki, bagay po kayo ni Doc Tricia," aniya at binuksan ang pinto ko.
"Really?" I asked and smiled at her. "Thanks," I thanked her for opening the door for me.
"Opo, Arki!" masiglang sagot niya. "Huwag po kayong magagalit pero noon ay shiniship ko po kayo kay Ma'am Jill," aniya at natawa pa. "Pero ngayon po, mas bagay kayo ni Doc!"
Natawa ako sa kakulitan niya. Parang hindi siya nauubusan ng energy.
"Talaga ba? Ang ganda nilang magkakapatid, diba?"
"Totoo po!" She said at kinuha 'yong bag ko bago inilapag sa lamesa ron. "Ang totoo niyan, Arki baklang bakla po ako kay Ma'am Aika, crush ko po siya so much!"
"Kung gusto mong itanong if nandito siya with us, wala siya," pangunguna ko sa kaniya.
"Oo nga po, e! Sayang, pero hindi bale sa live na lang po ako manonood," ngiting ngiti na sagot niya.
She really do adore Ate Aiks.
"Paano naman si Tricia rito?"
"Ah," napakamot siya sa ulo. "Manonood po ako bukas sa venue dahil wala naman po akong shift sa oras na 'yon,"
"And Jill?"
Natawa ako dahil nagiisip talaga siya ng isasagot.
"Arki, siguro ano po.. sa cellphone po live ni Jill at Vp tapos sa ipad po si Ate Aiks," napatakip naman siya ng mukha. "Ang hirap, Arki lahat sila gusto ko!"
Nakakatuwa na sobra niyang gusto ang pamilya nina Tricia. Hinahangaan niya ang mga ito.
"Ipatawag kita sa room namin kapag kavidcall namin sila so that you can say hi," I said at halata ang gulat sa mukha niya.
"Talaga ba, Arki!?" sigaw niya.
"Shh, lower your voice," saway ko. "Promise, basta pagpatuloy mo lang 'yong pag ship mo samin ni Tricia," I said at natawa kami pareho. "Joke lang, pero don't worry, makakausap mo sila. I'll make sure of that,"
Deserve naman niya dahil mula pa kanina sa baba ay napakahands on na niya sa pag assist sa amin. A simple reward won't hurt naman.
"Labas po muna ako, balikan ko po kayo mamaya!"
I just nodded at her at nang makalabas siya ay saka ko ibinagsak ang sarili ko sa kama. I started to unbutton my pants dahil masyado nang nasasakal ang tiyan ko. Sikip na kasi 'to at hindi na naayos ni Inay kanina dahil paalis na rin kaya pinagtiisan ko na, tapos kumain pa kami.
Tahimik lang akong nakahiga ron nang biglang mag bukas ang pinto. Agad akong napabangon at pumasok sa ilalim ng kumot. Wala namang makikita pero hindi pa kasi ako nakakapalit ng pambaba at hindi nakabutones ang pants ko.
Nang tingnan ko kung sino 'yon ay si Tricia lang pala.
"Can.. you knock next time?"
Natawa siya nang makita ang pwesto ko ngayon. Balot na balot ako ng kumot na kala mo ay may tinatago.
Meron naman, ah? Lord, wala pa pong nakakakita nito sa buong buhay ko.
"What if ayoko?"
"Anong—huy, magtigil ka d'yan ah, kumatok ka next time. Kung hindi.."
"Kung hindi ano?"
"Sige ka, pagsisisihan mo talaga," banta ko.
She just crossed her arms at tinaasan ako ng kilay habang nakatayo sa harapan ko.
"Lumayo ka nga muna saglit, may.. may aayusin lang ako!"
"Bakit kailangan ko pa lumayo?"
"Just do it!"
Imbes na lumayo ay lalo lang siyang lumapit. Nakaupo na siya ngayon sa kama kung nasaan ako.
"Sige na, ayusin mo na habang nandito ako," she calmly said.
Juice ko, Lord paano nakakayang kumalma ng babaeng 'to?

46 Year Old Syndrome
The daily Litrpg journal of a fairly average 46 year old man in a world where hundreds of thousands of people suddenly have a super power.Follow him as he learns skills, runs away a lot, suffers crippling headaches, avoids reading his titles, and tries to avoid breaking his body that didn't get enough calcium and vegetables.[Disclaimer 1: Despite the following, I will fix any typos pointed out. This is a writing exercise so chapters are mostly first drafts, otherwise I'd end up rewriting each chapter for a month or more with no real changes. My goals are a steady output by not using perfectionism as a procrastination method. I've already got laziness and additions to reading/games, I don't need a 3rd reason to procrastinate.][Disclaimer 2: The main character is a more normalized version of me, with 170% less laziness installed, and a few buffs like greater courage. Other things like having a job are partially similar. No other characters are based on real people because most people I know are either too normal to be useful or too fucked in the head to be believable.]
