Austin:
Preston still hasn’t replied
Are the texts threatening?
Cohen:
Not really…
Just bothering, I guess
She texts
A lot
Psalm:
What does she want?
@Saint hoy ask Mary kaya? The girl said Preston knows her right?
Saint:
I know Sari.
She’s harmless
I think
Not sure
Preston doesn’t really let me near him or his family
Psalm:
HAHAHAHA
Srsly?
That ass
Austin:
Your fault
You left him in jail
Saint:
What? Not my fault
Immunity, brother
Psalm:
Boooooo
Get your entitled ass off of here
Austin:
ANYWAY
Preston still hasn’t replied
Just let her text, Cohen
If it gets to the point that it bothers you
You know who to go to
Cohen:

Maggie, your second mother

GDL Sibs (Maggie not welcome)
Cohen:
I’m really starting to get creeped out
Psalm:
Bout what?
Cohen:
Sari
She asked Ate Mary to tell me to add her
Psalm:
Hahaha she did what?
Gotta admit
Girl knows her connections and uses them
#Respect
Cohen:
I don’t want to add her
But I also don’t know what to say to Ate Mary
Psalm:
Just tell her nah
Your fb, your rules
Cohen:
It’s hard to say no to her
She’s so nice to me
Psalm:
She’s nice to everyone
Duh
She’ll be fine
Just say that you can’t add Sari
Hey @Saint since you’re the only connection here, interested when will I see this girl
She’s interesting
Cohen:
Kuya, she’s 17
Psalm:
So?
Hahahaha
Just want to see her!
Didn’t say anything!
You jealous?
Cohen:
Asa
Psalm:
Curious what’s her full name?
Wanna see what she looks like
Cohen:
Again, she’s 17, Kuya
Psalm:
Hahaha look at you being possessive
Am just genuinely curious
Besides, I’m #contented
Bigay mo na
Just wanna see what she looks like because I really keep on imagining this super aggressive little girl whenever we talk about her
Cohen:
Fine
Sari Miranda
She said her fb’s the one with finger hearts as DP
Psalm:
Okay
Searching
Oh
She’s cute
Looks young tho
But cute
Just add her!
Cohen:
I don’t want to
She’s creepy
Psalm:
Why don’t you just add her?
Playing devil’s advocate here
Won’t lose anything naman
You can unfollow her?
Just give her what she wants
What’s the worst she can do?
Flood you with likes?
Lmao
You’re making a big deal out of this
Cohen:
She’s weird!
I don’t even know why she started texting me
Haven’t met her
Or did I?
I really can’t remember
Did I, Kuya @Saint?
Psalm:
Saint’s not online
Probs out on a date with Mary
What’s new
Anyway
Just add her
Pretty sure if Mary asked, Saint will ask you to add that girl too
What Mary wants, Saint gives #whipped
So if I were you, just give her what she wants
She’ll stop once she sees you’re really not interested
Or are you?
Are you, Cohen?
Are you interested?
Are you finally becoming interesting?
Oh wow you went offline
Nice talking!

Saint:
Hi, Nari.
Nari:
What the fuck
Saint:
…okay?
I just wanted to ask something
Nari:
Bakit mo chinachat asawa ko????!
Fuck off Santo
Saint:
The fuck?
Preston?
Ever heard of privacy?
Why are you on her account?
Nari:
Mind your own business
Nakita ko lang peste mong pangalan biglang nagpop sa screen
Di ako nangingielam ng gamit nakakatrigger lang pangalan mo
Bakit ka nagchachat kay Nari?!
Di ka na nakuntento sa kapatid ko?!
Saint:
The fuck
Nari:
Makasabi si Imo na mabait ka
Puro ka mura
Isa kang hashtag fake
Saint:
You weird asss
I just wanted to ask Nari about her sister
Nari:
Oh anong meron kay Sari?
Saint:
She asked Mary to ask Cohen who asked me what was happening
It’s very confusing
What is happening?
What does she want with my brother?
Nari:
Di ko gusto yang tono ng pananalita mo
Saint:
Lol what does that even mean
Nari:
Are you saying that Sari’s not good enough for Cohen? You wish
Your brother would be lucky to have her!
Saint:
Hahahaha
What the fuck
Are we seriously talking about this?
Nari
:
Sari’s a little unhinged but Cohen will be lucky you ass
Saint:
And I didn’t say anything okay? I just wanted to talk to Nari because Cohen’s asking questions. He’s not used to girls giving him attention. This is all weird for him
I’m just being a good brother to him like you are to Sari
Nari:
Pakyu ka pa rin
Saint:
It’s been years
Come on we’re family now
Nari:
Kadiri ka
Saint:
We see each other during parties and holidays
It’s high time we put the past behind
Nari:
Youre just saying that because you weren’t the one who spent the night in jail you fucktard
Saint:
I was as drunk as you were
And I’m sorry
Can we at least be civil?
Nari:
Fine
In one condition
Saint:
What?
Nari:
Have Cohen add Sari

At saka may 446 friends nga siya sa fb! Ano ba naman gawin niyang 447???
Preston:
Alam mo ba kung anong ginawa ko para ma-add ka ni Cohen?!
Click accept lang, Sari! Anong klaseng teenager ka!
Sari:
Sabi ni Ate sumama ka lang naman magbasketball kay Kuya Saint!
Akala mo naman napaka life changing ng nangyari Kuya!!!

Psalm:
@Cohen check your email
Why can’t I tag him?
Austin:
Backread
He left the group
Psalm:
Why?
Austin:
Ask Saint
Heard Cohen lost a bet
Psalm:
No fun
Why wasn’t I informed?
Austin:
Why? You want to add Sari on facebook din?
Psalm:
Hahahaha soon I think I’ll be friends with that girl
Wait I have to check his friend list
Wait why can’t I find his profile on facebook?
@Austin try mo nga to search his account
Did he block me?!
Austin:
I can’t see his profile too
Psalm:
What the heck is happening?
Did he deactivate his account so the friend request won’t push through? Lmao
Saint:
He didn’t deactivate his account lol
He’s here
He looks like he’s about to cry from frustration
Psalm:
What happened?
Saint:
His account got suspended
Someone reported it as spam i’m not sure
Psalm:
What seriously? Hahahahaha
Who reported his account?
Saint:
Sari
Psalm:
Are you sure?
Maybe Cohen posted something inappropriate lmao
Kidding
It’s so impossible
In Cohen we trust
Saint:
It’s Sari
Someone sent a screenshot of her posting in some group saying that Cohen is a scammer and asking people to mass report him so that ‘hindi na siya makapambiktima pa’
It’s so funny
I laughed at Cohen’s face when he showed me
He’s so pissed tho! Come here! You should see his face in person!
Have dinner here! Also, Amaris is looking for you, Psalm
Psalm:
On my way!
Austin:
I’ll follow
Psalm:
Boo KJ

Why did you do that? What do you want from me? I honestly think that that was so rude of you to tell people that I am a scammer. I have never met you yet you’re doing all these things to me. If your goal is for me to notice you—I did. I noticed you for all the wrong reasons. I hope you’re happy.

Nari:
Bakit naka-deact facebook mo? Nung isang araw pa tinatanong ni Preston, but I can’t say anything because I don’t know anything.
I know you’re online
What’s happening?
’Di ka sasagot? Gusto mo si Mama ang ichat ko?
Sari:
Masama ba magdeact? Feel ko lang
Nari:
Mukha ba akong nakikipaglokohan?
Ano’ng ginawa mo? Bakit ka naka-deact?
Sari:
Wala. Wala akong ginawa, Ate
Kaya naka-deact ako
Nari:
Sariah Mikaella, just please tell me what’s bothering you
Maybe I can help
Sari:
No one can help me
Okay lang ako, Ate
Mas nakakapag-aral kaya ako kasi walang distraction na facebook
If may kailangan ka sa kin, tele na lang. Wag mong sabihin kay Mama :<
Nari:
Fine. But ayaw mo talagang sabihin?
Sari:
Ayaw
Wala naman na akong magagawa
Fault ko rin naman dali-daling hulaan ng password ng cellphone ko
:<
Bye, Ate
Matutulog muna ulit ako

Nari:
Alam ko na kung bakit ka nagdeactivate. Ikaw ba gumawa nun? Ano’ng iniisip mo nung ginawa mo yun, ha, Sari? Baliw ka ba? Alam ko crush mo si Cohen pero lagyan mo naman ng limit, Sari. Teenager ka, di ka batang paslit. Alam mo tama sa mali. Imbes na nagdedeactivate ka jan, bakit di ka magsorry sa kanya?
Ano? Di mo ko papansinin? Ate mo ako. Gusto ko lang na alam mo yung tama sa mali. Di tama yung ginawa mo. Kaming pamilya mo pati sila Preston kayang sakyan yang kalokohan mo pero hinay hinay sa ibang tao. Di ka nila kilala. Di mahaba ang pasensya nila. Di nila susubukan na intindihin ka bago isipin na siraulo ka. Sana iniisip mo yan. Wag ka ring magalit sa akin kung iniisip mo na sinesermunan kita. Kailangan marinig mo to habang bata ka pa. Mas mahirap kapag akala mo papalagpasin ka palagi.

Hi. Sorry sobrang late nito. Ang tagal kong pinag-isipan. First, sorry kung di na nabalik iyong account mo :( Ilang beses na akong nagemail sa facebook para ibalik pero walang nagrereply puro automated reply :( Di ko alam if gumawa ka na ba ng bagong account :( Sorry talaga :( Dinelete ko na rin account ko para parehas tayong nawalan ng account. Alam ko hindi enough pero sorry talaga, Cohen :( Hindi ko alam ilang sorry sasabihin ko pero sobrang nanlamig ako nung nabasa ko yung message mo sa telegram. First time kong magreflect sa buhay ko.
Sorry sa pangungulit ko. Di na talaga mauulit promise. Last na message ko na to sayo. Di mo naman ako makikita kasi dito na yata talaga kami ni Mama sa Canada tapos jan ka naman sa Pilipinas. Minsan naman uuwi kami sa Pilipinas pero sure naman ako na di tayo magkikita :(
Sorry talaga.
As in.
Di na kita imemessage at guguluhin.
Cohen:
It’s okay.

Cohen:
I’m not mad anymore. I’m sorry for the words I sent. I was just clouded by anger at that time. I didn’t really mean those words. It was just an account. No harm done.

Haley:
Yeah did you tell him that you weren’t the one who posted that nasty shit on facebook?
Sari:
Hindi :(
Kailangan kong maging accountable sa actions ko sabi ni Ate
Haley:
Accountable to shits you have actually done, not shits you didn’t do. Tanga ka rin minsan talaga
Sari:
Grabe bakit may pag-atake :(
Nagmessage lang naman ako para magaan na loob ko malay ko ba na online siya?
Feel ko kasi makikita ko siya sa December kasi pinapapunta ako ni Ate Mary sa kanila e di ba kapatid si Cohen nung asawa ni Ate Mary? Small world talaga kasi kaya kailangan kong magsorry for world peace and prosperity
Haley:
In the first place if hindi Cohen143 yang password mo, this wouldn’t even happen
Sari:
GRABE TAPOS NA NGA DI BA
Haley:
Whatever I’m still pissed that you made it so easy for Crystal to do that
You know she’d do anything to ruin you. Palibhasa ikaw type nung crush niyang mahilig sa Asian
Sari:
Sorry na :(
Pero ano nga gagawin ko kay Cohen? Huhu send help
Haley:
What do you mean what you’d do? Reply, you dumb bitch
Sari:
But I just told him that I’ll never message him again!
Haley:
BAKIT MO PA AKO TINATANONG DI KA NAMAN NAKIKINIG
Sari:
Bakit ka galit?

Magrereflect na lang ako ulit about life :(

GDL Sibs (Maggie not welcome)
Psalm:
What the hell is happening?
Did Cohen really ignore Celia earlier? Or did my eyes play a trick on me?
Saint:
It’s true lol
I was surprised
I thought Celia’s been his crush since God knows when?
Psalm:
Something is fishy
Is there a new girl?
Sari, perhaps?
Saint:
Not sure haha is Cohen talking to Sari? The last time I heard about that girl, she made Cohen cry out of frustration lol
Psalm:
Idk you know that Cohen will jump off a building first before he willingly tells me something about his ‘love life’
Saint:
Your fault
You tell everyone Cohen’s business
Psalm:
Is it really my fault?
Everyone’s curious about him lol that’s what you get when you’re always so mum about everything. Even Abuela’s asking me about Cohen!
Cohen:
Please don’t tell Abuela anything
Psalm:
Hahaha lol magic word
Of course I won’t, baby brother but what’s up? Why did you ditch Celia? You should’ve seen her face. She was so surprised
Cohen:
I didn’t ‘ditch’ her
Psalm:
Her face said otherwise
Cohen:
I just… found the conversation boring
Saint:
Hahahahahaha now I am sure… something is up, Cohen
Since when did Celia bore you? I remember you telling Mags before that Celia’s your dream girl
Cohen:
Things change
Psalm:
*****Sari changed things
Saint:
Hmmmmm
Austin:
Hmmmmm
Psalm:
Hmmmmm
Cohen:
There’s nothing going on, okay?
Psalm:
I smell frustration hahahaha she’s not replying ba? You’re frustrated? You want us to report her account din para mapansin ka?
Saint:
hahahaha what the fuck, Psalm
But I am down
Psalm:
Hbu Austin?
Tsk he’s gone again
What’s up with that person always missing
Anywayyyyy anything we can do for you, Cohen? I don’t like seeing you bothered lol
And you’re almost 22 na. Go get yourself a girlfriend
Can’t stay as Maggie’s baby forever, you know?
Cohen:
And you wonder why you’re her least favorite
Saint:
Ooooh Cohen dropping truth bombs lol
Psalm:
#haters
Saint:
But seriously, Cohen, if you like her, go for it. Trust me, nothing good comes from waiting lol not when you already know who you want. Go for it… of course with consent
Cohen:
Thanks for the advice… i guess

Hi, Ate.
Pwede maka-hingi ng advice?
Mary:
Hi, Sari! Sure. About what?
Sari:
Paano maka-bingwit ng GDL?
Mary:
Haha what?
Sari:
Huhu si Cohen kasi ate :(
Nung huling usap namin, na-seenzone ako
Paano ako babangon mula sa hukay?
Mary:
Uhm… I don’t know? Saint usually starts the conversation…
Sari:
Huhu hirap naman di maging sobrang ganda yung sakto lang
Mary:
Haha I don’t think looks matter for them?
Sari:
Maganda ka kasi ate :( you don’t know the struggle of ordinary people like me charot
Mary:
I’m serious haha I feel like I look average compared to the people those GDL boys meet on a daily basis–most especially Psalm because he works for the embassy. He meets a lot of foreign dignitaries
Sari:
Omaygad if you feel average, I feel like I am a potato!!!
Mary:
You just have to get their attention, I guess?
I’m not sure. Sorry I can’t help you. Saint just really started to follow me around back then haha
Sari:
#GANDAPROBLEMS
#SANAOL
Mary:
Cohen loves basketball obviously
He also likes watching movies alone–mostly anything Marvel
He likes driving out of town alone–but mostly with his guards following him
Physical activities–he likes doing that with his brothers. They like to wrestle a lot. Usually ends with broken bones
Sari:
Ay grabe puro alone???
It’s time to put Sari in his life huhu
Mary:
Good luck! He’s just really shy sometimes but once you get him to be comfortable around you, he’s kinda talkative
Sari:
Thank you for the tips ate!!! Huhu good luck to me!

Dahil iniwan mo ako sa work
Haley:
So kasalanan ko na may sakit ako? Ikaw nanghawa sa akin fyi
Sari:
Farmer ka ba? Hilig mong magtanim ng sama ng loob hmp
Anyway
Dahil nga wala akong defense nung isang araw, nagtanong si Drew if pwede ba akong sumama sa kanya manood ng movie :(
Haley:
And? You don’t like him di ba? Why didn’t you just reject him there and then para matapos na tong drama na to
Sari:
Grabe :( Mabait naman si Drew
Haley:
Hahaha bakit nagiba ihip ng hangin? Crush mo na rin siya? Akala ko ba in love ka na kay Cohen?
Sari:
Huhu crush ko lang naman si Cohen pero kasi alam mo yun???? Sobrang unreachable niya
Haley:
How so? You talk to him. That puts him within your reach
Sari:
Kahit na
Sabi mo nga assumera ako huhu what’s the best scenario here di ba? Kilig kilig lang? Tapos ano? Iiyak din ako? Huhu sabi nga nila prevention is better than cure
Haley:
Who the fuck are you and where did you bring my overly positive friend?
Sari:
Seryoso kasi!!
Haley:
Fine. Do you like Drew?
Sari:
I don’t know… but is it wrong to give it a try? Friends naman kami ni Cohen. Bihira lang kami mag-usap tapos puro haha lol lang naman nakukuha ko sa kanya
Besides, oo kinikilig ako pero alam ko naman limit ko
Cohen GDL yun
Sino ba ako? Real talk ko lang sarili ko, bakla
Haley:
Sino ka? You’re Sariah Mikaella Miranda
You’ve been fucking bullied for a year, but you’re still here
Stop being a weakass shit
If you wanna go on a date with Drew, then so be it. But don’t use the reason na wala kang laban kay Cohen kasi paano ka lalaban di pa nga nagsisimula, umaayaw ka na agad?
Sari:
Huhu labyu, Haley
Dalan kitang cookies pagbumalik ka na sa school
Haley:
Tsk
So, are you still gonna watch the movies with Drew?
Sari:
Sa opinion mo? Serious ha wag mo ko barahin sampalin kita
Haley:
I thought you’re afraid na pinagttripan ka lang?
Sari:
Hindi na nga kasi… feeling ko? HUHU EWAN
TWO YEARS NA KAYA NIYA AKONG GINUGULO. Ano bang premyo sa bet na yun kung ganon?! Grabe naman pala! House and lot ba yun?!
At saka mabait naman siya sakin :( wala naman akong nababalitaan sa school na binubully niya huhu at saka libre naman kapag date di ba? Wala akong pera e :(
Haley:
Hahaha mas concerned ka sa libre
Sari:
E pinagiipunan ko nga yung bag na bibilin ko para kay ate!! Huhu tagtipid muna ako
Pero ano nga :( Kasi bukas na yun tapos sabi niya text ko na lang siya :( binigay niya number niya sa kin :( alam mo ba kung san nakalagay?! Sa yakult!!! Napansin niya raw kasi sa school na lagi akong umiinom ng yakult kaya bumili siya ng 11 na yakult tapos nandun nakasulat bawat digit ng number niya!!! For a second there akala ko nasa chick flick movie ako!!!
Cohen can never!!! HUHUHUHU
Haley:
Ugh just go out with him
Sari:
Sabihin ko kay Cohen?
Haley:
Feeling mo magseselos? LOL
Sari:
HUHU HATER
Wag ko na nga sabihin sa kanya
Gusto ko rin kasi siyang maging friend talaga if dun lang talaga. Ang bait niya kasi. Parang ang kalmado niyang tao. Baka mahawaan ako CHAROT

Cohen:
I think I like someone
I’m not sure
How do you know for sure?
Austin:
I think you’ll just know
What happened? You sound off
Cohen:
There’s this girl
Austin:
Named Sari
Go on
Cohen:
You swear not to tell anyone
Austin:
Yeah I swear
Cohen:
I think I like her? I don’t know. She’s so fun to talk to but it’s just… just that
She keeps on telling me that she likes me, but I feel like she just likes the idea of me
Do you understand?
Austin:
Kinda
But what brought you to that conclusion?
Cohen:
She’s 17
Austin:
And since when did age become a basis for maturity? Best example would be Psalm
Cohen:
Right
But I feel like she’s just fascinated with the idea of having me as a boyfriend? I don’t know. I’m confused by everything right now
And she went out on a date with someone
And that made me feel pissed
Different kind of pissed
Does this mean I like her?
Austin:
Obviously
Cohen:
What do I do?
Austin:
Fly to Canada?
Cohen:
That’s extreme
Austin:
Add her on facebook? I mean that’s originally what she wanted, right?
Cohen:
She still hasn’t reactivated her facebook
Austin:
Hmm
What’s the name of the guy? Let’s see the competition
Cohen:
I don’t know the complete name. I just know it’s Drew
Member of lacrosse and son of the Mayor apparently
Austin:
You sound really insecure
Not a good look on you
Cohen:
I know
I’m confused
But she’s just 17 this feels illegal
Austin:
Well yeah… never let Psalm know he’ll never let you hear the end of it
Cohen:
I should just do nothing, right?
Austin:
Wait I found him
Cohen:
You did? How?
Austin:
Addie
She sent me a picture you wanna see?
Cohen:
No thanks
Austin:
I think you should stop messaging me and start messaging her
He looks like someone from a Hollywood movie and I wish I am kidding

Yes
Even Addie thinks so

At may pangiti-ngiti pa kayo?! Landi!
What happened to Cohen?!
Sari:
Grabe ganito pala feeling nang naflood?!
Haley:
Answer my question what’s up with you and Drew?!
Sari:
Wala huhu di ba absent ka e nabanggit ko sa kanya. Alam niya naman na wala akong friends dito kaya nagvolunteer siya na tumambay sa store habang nagbabantay ako :( mukhang tanga nga siya kasi paikot-ikot lang siya don! For six hours!
Haley:
Ano siya tambay? Wala ba siyang ibang pwedeng gawin sa buhay niya?
Sari:
Hater hmp!
Haley:
So what happens with Cohen now?
Sari:
Anong ibig mong sabihin? We’re friends
Haley:
Seriously? After everything you did to get him to notice you?
Feels like in this situation, ikaw yung paasa
Sari:
HALA BAKIT PARANG KASALANAN KO?
Hindi naman siya interested sakin! Bakit fault ko na tumingin ako sa iba?
At saka sinabi ko naman sa kanya na friends na lang kami
Sobrang forward ko na nga sa kanya na gusto ko siya pero puro haha lang nakuha ko. Dapat ba maghintay ako hanggang magustuhan niya ko? E paano gagawin ko may Drew na nandito sa tabi ko na nageeffort? Masama ba na gusto ko ako naman ineeffortan?
Ps, ayoko makipag away huhuhuhuhu nagtatanong lang ako, Haley :( labyu
Haley:
Maybe that’s the reason? You’re too forward. He might think na you’re just playing around or something
Sari:
After all the trouble I did to get him to add me?
Haley:
Part of the chase
Sari:
Huhu :( pero friends naman kami
Saka di niya naman ako gusto
Haley:
What made you think na di ka niya gusto? Yung haha na message niya? From what you told me, tahimik talaga siya. I think that haha already means something
But then again it’s just me
Mukhang okay naman kayo ni Drew landi niyo nga kanina e
Sari:
Hindi lang haha
Puro seenzone
Haley:
Duh ikaw na nagsabi na if he’s putting you in the seenzone, it means ayaw niya na magmove on ka? Or something like that
Sari:
GRABE YOU ARE CONFUSING ME
THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR MY YOUNG MIND
Haley:
Gago hahaha ano ka toddler?
Sari:
Ang complicated naman magka jowa HMP
Gusto ko lang naman ng may ka in a relationship sa fb!
Haley:
Well, if you say so
Sari:
Uy grabe naman :(
Dapat ba magsorry ako sa kanya? Pinaasa ko ba talaga siya? Ayoko naman ng ganito grabe :(
Haley:
Let’s just hope na hindi nadala si Cohen sa mga kalandian mo because you know what? It would suck for him to know that you’re doing all these while telling him na you like him
Sari:
Grabe naman kasing mukha to?! Dinalhan na naman ako ng yakult tapos hinatid sa bahay HUHUHUH FORGIVE ME IF I AM WEAK
Haley:
Ewan ko sayo gaga ka two years ka ng ginugulo niyan ngayon mo pa naisipan na pansinin pagkatapos mong bulabugin mga tao sa Pilipinas. Pakiramdam ko bumabalik yung sakit ko sa konsumisyon sa yo. Bye na muna.

And she’s very calm
It’s making me worry
Austin:
You really like her haha
Cohen:
Seriously, what will I do? I feel like she’s gonna tell me that she likes someone else
Austin:
The hollywood dude?
Cohen:
Yeah
She hasn’t been online for a few days. I figured she’s been spending time with him
Austin:
Well, can you blame her? You’re here, not there
Cohen:
What do I tell her if ever she tells me that?
Austin:
Well maybe you’re right that she just likes the idea of you
If that’s the case, you deserve someone better
Cohen:
But what if I don’t want better?
Austin:
She’s coming home this December, right? If you still like her after interacting with her in person, I’m gonna pay for your ticket to Canada
Cohen:
That’s three months from now!
Austin:
Well you survived in this world for 22 years without her. I’m sure you’ll be fine
Cohen:
What if by that time she doesn’t only like him but already love him?
Austin:
Talk to Saint. He’ll tell you to go to Canada. Not me. She’s 17. Let her live a little.
Cohen:
You’re right

I think I saw Cohen
Or maybe I’m mistaken
Sari:
WHAT
Kailan?!
Saan?!
Haley:
Baka sa Pilipinas
Sari:
Ang pilosopo amp!!!
San nga?!
Haley:
Bakit ka curious? Haha I thought Drew ka na?
Sari:
Hala siya e friend ko si Cohen malamang if nandito gusto ko makita para ipapasyal ko siya around?
Haley:
E di message mo siya di rin naman ako sure if siya yun e
Sari:
Ih kahiya :( baka isipin niya literal na ilusyonada na ako huhu
Haley:
Di ba?
Sari:
HATER HMP
Pero siya nga? Matangkad, almond skin (kainggit huhu), kulot, mukhang naliligaw palagi???
Haley:
HAHAHAHA the fuck? What does even ‘mukhang naliligaw’ look like?
Sari:
Huhu mukha kasi siyang baby :( parang confused and afraid sa life ganon kaya nga kahit mas matanda siya sa kin di ko siya naisipan na tawaging kuya kasi mukhang baby huhu #softboi
Haley:
Lol akala ko #softboiled
I’m not sure if it’s him but I saw him sa labas ng work natin nung shift ko
Sari:
Pero bakit naman siya mapupunta dito no? Wala naman yata siyang kafamily dito sa Alberta huhu
Haley:
San ka ba kanina? Aga mong umalis e. Di sana naabutan mo kung sumabay ka sakin umalis sa work
Sari:
Inaya ako mag ice cream ni Drew e :(
Pero sigi huhu ask ko na lang siya

Austin:
You’re in SF?
Cohen:
Yeah
Austin:
But I heard you told mom you’re in Europe?
And I thought you’d gone mad and went to Canada instead
Cohen:
I went to Canada
Austin:
Fuck really?
So what are you doing in SF now?
Cohen:
I don’t know actually just going around. Might drop by New York to watch shows
Been really wanting to see Hamilton. Might do that
Austin:
But what happened in Canada?
Cohen:
Nothing… I just realized how crazy I was for even going there
I even considered actually going to Europe because I hate lying to mom but I realized I can’t travel that far again i’m tired
Austin:
That’s it?
Cohen:
I saw her with someone
Austin:
I’m sorry
Cohen:
It’s okay. It’s probably for the best.
Austin:
That’s it? You’re not mad at her for leading you on?
Cohen:
No why would I?
I never really told her I like her. My fault. Plus… she told me she doesn’t have friends in Canada. And I can’t be physically present for her. Why would I take someone who’s there for her?
Austin:
What the hell why are you so selfless
Cohen:
Not at all. I just really like her. She makes me laugh. She’s happy now. I’m good with that. We can still be friends. I’ll still be here for her. Maybe soon. I don’t know. I just want her in my life, that’s all I know right now.
Austin:
That sounds like a heartbreak waiting to happen
Cohen:
It’s okay. Life is a big gamble, as Kuya Saint used to say. I’m taking my chance here.
Austin:
And what if she really falls for the hollywood dude?
Cohen:
Haha I don’t want to think about it
I’ll just take what I can get right now and worry about what’s going to happen soon
I know this is probably a dumb idea but I really just can’t get mad at her
Austin:
But did she know that you came all the way to Canada to see her?
Cohen:
Yeah she just messaged me right now. I’m still gathering my thoughts. She’ll ask lots of questions. I don’t want to give the wrong answer and make her feel guilty. I don’t want to play the guilt card on her.
Austin:
Just go home and let’s play ball
Cohen:
I’ll stay for a few weeks here i need a break
Austin:
Okay enjoy your stay there
And mom told me Celia was asking for you. What will I say?
Cohen:
Nothing haha I already have my eyes on someone

Cohen:
What do you enjoy doing?
Sari:
Hmmm makipagusap? Naeenjoy ko yung work ko sa store kasi nakikipagchismisan lang ako minsan sa mga customer hahaha babait ng mga tao sa Canada :( sobrang lamig lang kaines
Gusto ko rin manood ng movie tapos magtrabaho behind the scenes
Kaya lang si mama gusto yung trabaho na parang permanent ganon ewan ko ba
Cohen:
I’m not sure about the college system there in Canada but I think you can take minor subjects to determine what you want to major in
Sari:
Gusto ni mama magnurse ako huhu baka himatayin lang ako sa dugo o kaya makapatay ako ng tao :(
Cohen:
Yeah don’t do that
Sari:
HMP DI SUPPORTIVE
Cohen:
Haha I won’t trust you with a needle

O kaya flash cash wahahaha
Pero for sure mayaman din naman crush mo kasi kayo kayong mayayaman lang naman nagkakatuluyan #truthonly
Cohen:
You can’t control who people fall in love with
Sari:
Hmp
Bakit si Kuya Saint? Si Ate Mary sobrang yaman
Si Kuya Psalm yung jowa daw ngayon yata e anak ng diplomat din
Si Kuya Preston oo pinakasalan si Ate pero glitch of nature yun kasi in the first place, hindi naman normal si Kuya
Cohen:
That just so happens
Sari:
E paano kapag nainlove ka sa dukha? Di ka ba itatakwil kagaya ng nasa mga palabas?
Cohen:
What is dukha?

Mean
Sari:
Hahahah kyot mo kasi
Dukha is poor #TeacherSari

My parents are not like the ones you see in TV

I already answered you earlier
Alam mo it feels like a waste of time talking sense to you. Pakiramdam ko lumalabas lang sa kabilang tenga mo
Sari:
Huhu nakinig naman ako!!!
Haley:
Then why are you asking me this AGAIN?
Sari:
HUHU kasi naman nagchat sabay ngayon si Drew at Cohen
#HabaNgHair ko pero #MasakitSaUlo din siya huhu sino unang bubuksan kong message?!
Haley:
Just delete your account
Sari:
Haley naman e!!! :(
Haley:
You wanna date them both?
Sari:
Hindi grabe naman :(
Si Drew nilalandi ako literal
Si Cohen mabait lang talaga sakin pero nung nagsend siya ng pic niya… I FELT THINGS
Haley:
That’s what THEY want. What do YOU want?
Sari:
Alam mo may pag-atake talaga sakin yang mga naka CAPITALIZE e
Haley:
You told me you still like Cohen so why fool around with Drew?
Sari:
Just a tiny tiny crush di naman nawawala agad yun e
Haley:
Still why mess with Drew? Nadala ka sa blue eyes?
Sari:
Grabe huhuhu
Di naman. Mabait kasi si Drew. Mas realistic.
Haley:
E di dun ka sa kanya
Sari:
Pero si Cohen :(
Haley:
E di kay Cohen ka
Sari:
Grabe ang useful???
Haley:
I just realized kahit ano sabihin ko di ka naman nakikinig kasi ginagawa mo rin gusto mo. Just talk to them both. One day you’ll realize who you like more.
Sari:
Hindi ba masama yun?
Haley:
You don’t have commitment with either of them so technically you’re not cheating. Plus they both know about each other’s existence. It’s not as if niloloko mo silang dalawa.
Sari:
Huhu pero technically yan e. Paano kapag morally?
Haley:
Ugh stop thinking about what other people with think of you. Whether you end up with Drew or Cohen, girls will still hate you so I say do what you like.
Sari:
Backup kita kapag nasabunutan ako sa school ha?
Haley:
Why do you think I’m growing my nails?
Sari:
Hahahaha labyu, Haley! Sana classmates tayo!

Yeah yeah sabay pa rin tayo kumain

Anyway Cohen added me and I confirmed since I kinda know him naman based sa dami ng kwento mo sa kanya… Then he messaged me. And you know what he said?
Sari:
What?
Haley:
He said that since he’s not physically here, he’s asking for a favor if pwede na bantayan kita (as if I’m not doing that already!!!) and tell him immediately daw if magkaproblem ka sa school
WTF SARIAH MIKAELLA
Few months ago you were begging him to notice you! Tapos biglang may ganito?!

Also, I don’t know what you like so to be safe

Ang mga namimiss ko kasi mga pagkain sa pinas :(
Gusto ko ng taho, fishball, kikiam, kwekkwek, isaw, samalamig, binatog :(
Excited na talaga ako sa december humanda yang mga street vendor sa pagbabalik ko!!
Cohen:
I’m not familiar with those but I’ll see what I can do haha
Sari:
Huhu palibasa puro steak yata ulam niyo e
Cohen:
What? No. I rarely eat steak. Only when we’re out.
Sari:
Anong ulam niyo?
Cohen:
Normal food
Sari:
E yung normal sa inyo special sa mga dukhang kagaya ko
Cohen:
Why do you consider yourself as poor? You’re able to study, you have a house, you eat three times a day. You’re luckier than most.
Sari:
I know huhuhuh maarte lang ako pero alam ko naman di ako mahirap!!!! I mean sakto lang!!! Pero syempre iba pa rin iyong mga ‘mayayaman’ na kaya nilang gawin kahit ano gusto nila na hindi nagwoworry sa pera
Naranasan mo na ba pumunta sa mall na may makita ka na gusto mo kaya lang nung tinignan mo iyong price tag napatalikod ka na lang at nagpanggap na di mo pala gusto talaga? Because I’d been there :( and it’s sad. But that’s life. And sabi mo nga, I’m luckier than most.
Huy di kita inaaway ha :( di mo naman kasalanan na pinanganak kang mayaman :(
Cohen:
I’m not mad. I understand where you’re coming from.
Sari:
Thank you huhu mag-aaral talaga akong mabuti para magkaroon ng bright future. Di kasi talaga ako mahilig sa business and investment na yan kaya edukasyon lang ang pag-asa ko charot
Cohen:
I’m sure you’ll do good in school
Have you see the book I got you?
Sari:
UU hahahahaha talagang bumili ka pa ng career assessment na book! Sawa ka na mamigay ng link?
Cohen:
You said the link I gave you was a scam lol the book should be more reliable
Sari:
Thank you!!! Ayoko maging stone cutter huhu

The result’s merely a suggestion. You don’t have to be a stone cutter lol
Sari:
Yun daw bagay sakin e hmp!!!! May special skills yata ako para maggupit ng bato?!
Cohen:
I’m sure you’ll be a great stone cutter
Sari:
Bully!!! HMP!
Tinanong nga pala ni Mama kung bakit mo daw ako pinadalhan!!
Sabi ko jowa kita HAHAHAHA binatukan lang ako :(

When are you coming home? Maggie’s running out of excuse to tell mom
Cohen:
She knows?
Austin:
Of course lol it’s not as if you can hide anything from Maggie
Cohen:
Ahhhhh. She didn’t message me asking me about it
Austin:
Haha technically, Sari’s kind of your first love. Maybe she wants to give you some space
Cohen:
Lol first love
Austin:
Isn’t she tho?
seen by Cohen
Austin:
Thought so
Again, when are you coming back? I swear if Psalm learns about this, he’ll never shut up about how you went to Canada to see Sari whom you’ve talked to like five times lol
Cohen:
I’m coming home in two days. Please stall. I don’t want anyone knowing about what I did here.
Austin:
Okay I got you. But what happened with Sari?
Cohen:
Nothing. We’re just talking
Austin:
That’s it?
Cohen:
Yeah. What did you expect?
Austin:
Hmmm yeah. What did I expect? LOL
Cohen:
Kuya, she’s so cute.
Austin:
Hahahaha it’s almost as if I can see you blushing
Cohen:
It’s as if I finally understood what Kuya Saint meant when he said that he’d do anything for Ate Mary. I just… I like her so much it’s crazy. I didn’t know it was possible. Most of the time, she’s really just annoying me, but I guess that’s her charm.
Austin:
She’s good for you tho. Never really thought I’d hear you say those things
Cohen:
Yeah I think her talkativeness is rubbing off on me
Austin:
Lol I think she’ll like Psalm
Cohen:
I don’t want them to meet. It’ll be like trouble meeting trouble
Austin:
Lol they need to meet. Psalm needs trouble in his life otherwise he’ll continue moping about Joey
Cohen:
In December they’ll meet… if Kuya Preston will invite us. Though I highly doubt it.
Austin:
You know we can come, right? We just have to ditch Saint
Cohen:
Haha but he’s Ate Mary’s husband
Austin:
Whatever that’s their problem
I have to go. But mom’s seriously looking for you lol you know you’re the only child who’s living with her at home. You can’t be gone for too long or she’ll go insane
Cohen:
I know. Thank you for the heads up

No prob
Your classes are waiting for you. You’re already enrolled btw. Enjoy your vacation

Oh
I’d invite her but she hates me

Haha she doesn’t hate you
Drew:
She does! If looks can kill, I’d be dead way back in elementary
Sari:
She’s just protective of me
Drew:
I know… I’m sorry I wasn’t of help when you were being bullied
Sari:
It’s okay haha what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger!!
Drew:
Lol you’re cute
But this year’s gonna be good I promise
Sari:
Meeeh I already made my peace with the fact that I’d never have peace at school :<
Drew:
You’ll have peace
You have me now
Sari:

I told you I have another crush!!!!
Drew:
Yeah but he’s not here is he?
Sari:
He’s in Hamptons!!! So now he’s in the same continent at least!!
Drew:
For now
Sari:
Meeehhh just support me
Drew:
Nah he’s not your boyfriend
As far as I’m concerned, I’m not doing anything wrong
Sari:
☹️
Drew:

Pero ishe-share ko na para masaya
Alam mo ba… kami na ni Cohen
CHAROT
Sa isip ko lang hahahaha pero may isa pa kasing nangungulit sa akin :( Pero ilang beses ko na sinabi sa kanya na waley nga talaga. May reason pala talaga kung bakit ilang taon ko siyang di talaga pinapansin kasi di ko talaga siya bet kahit sobrang gwapo niya
Sabi nga nila… the heart wants what it wants
And mine wants Cohen Isaac Gomez de Liaño
Charooooot
Pero seryoso huhuhuhu
Ateeeeee nababaliw na ako????? Bakit ba late ako pinanganak???? Di tuloy ako sineseryoso ni Cohen :( Feel ko bata lang ako sa paningin niya hmp!!!! Paano ba maging adult??? Paghahandaan ko yan para kapag nagkita kami sa December, hu u siya sa akin!!!
Also, litung-lito pa rin ako sa kung ano kukunin ko sa college… mej parang ayoko nga magcollege pero baka atakihin si mama sa puso kapag nalaman niya huhuhu para kasing wala sa college iyong gusto kong gawin kahit di ko pa sure kung ano iyon
Anyway, that’s everything you missed in Sari’s life charot

I think it’s my fault… but why did you assume that it’s my fault? I haven’t told you anything yet

Basic rule in dating
Cohen:
We’re not dating
Austin:
Yet
But basic rule is, she’s always right
Cohen:
But why?
Austin:
I don’t know but it’s better that way, trust me
Cohen:
Okay… so she’s mad at me because Celia’s in my class… but it’s not like I can do anything about it. I only talk to her when it’s necessary. It’s rude to ignore her.
Austin:
Does she know?
Cohen:
No. She only knows one reply
Austin:
And that is?
Cohen:
Hmp
Austin:
Lol she’s a headache
Cohen:
You have no idea
What do I do?
Austin:
I don’t know. I’d probably start with telling her that Celia’s just a family friend
You don’t have a crush on her anymore, right?
Cohen:
Of course not
But I doubt Sari will believe that
Austin:
It’s up to her to believe it or not. The important thing is that you’re honest
Cohen:
What if she still doesn’t listen? Because she’s really stubborn
Austin:
You signed up for that
Cohen:
I know
I’m trying to find my way around this situation. It’s hard when she’s literally thousand miles away. Messages aren’t cutting it for me
Austin:
Just talk to her. You can’t plan on going to Canada every time she’s mad or pissed

Okay I’ll tell her
Wish me luck

But what made you believe me?

I just messaged him and offered to visit him in his place… but he declined. The Cohen I knew would immediately say yes.
And he’s practically ignoring me in class. He’s only talking to me when I ask him something. And he always gives me one word answers.
Shey:
Maybe there’s another girl?
Celia:
Maybe
Shey:
And may I ask why you’re curious? You’re the one who told me that Cohen’s just a boy
Celia:
I don’t know. I’m just curious.
You’re friends with Psalm, right? Can you ask him for me if there’s anyone in Cohen’s life right now?
Shey:
And if there is one?

I’ll cross the bridge when I get there.
Talk to you later. I’ll go somewhere

Sari, I’m sorry I just woke up. Are you mad?
I’m really, really sorry. I really planned on going to the cemetery but Mom forced me to go to some dinner… and somehow I got drunk. I just woke up with a terrible headache.
Please don’t be mad. I’ll still visit your dad, I promise.
Hey… please reply. I’ll go to the cemetery even if it’s nighttime here already. Just don’t be mad.

Austin:
What happened? I saw the tagged photos
Cohen:
I have no idea
Austin:
Did you drink?
You’re friends with Sari on facebook, right? She definitely saw the pictures
Cohen:
I know… she’s still not replying.
I already asked her friend, but she said that Sari’s fine
Austin:
The pictures look bad
Cohen:
I know
I should’ve just told mom that I’m busy
Austin:
Why didn’t you?
Cohen:
Because then she’d ask and you know I suck at lying
And Abuela was there when mom asked me to come… I really didn’t want to discuss why I couldn’t come
Austin:
Okay but why did you drink?
Cohen:
I didn’t that’s the problem
I only had water and juice but somehow I got drunk
Austin:
The hell?
Cohen:
I promised Sari that we’d do something and I ditched her and now she’s not replying to my messages. I hate this distance
Austin:
Just try and message her again and explain those pictures of you two dancing
Cohen:
Don’t remind me of the pictures. I really wanna block Celia’s account. Why is she so annoying?
Austin:
I don’t know and I don’t care
Just focus on Sari
Explain quickly. Pretty sure she already came up with the worst case scenario so you better explain asap
And good luck… I can feel her anger I don’t know why but I do

Did your mom get mad?
Sari:
Yes :(
Drew:
Shit sorry
Do you want me to come over tomorrow so I can explain why you got home late?
Sari:
Nah I was just messing with you haha she was asleep when I got home and my auntie promised that she wouldn’t tell mom. I have a cool aunt
Drew:
You little minx! You got me worried there!
Sari:
Bleh you’re too serious
Thanks for the free ice cream haha you’re kind of my supplier now
Drew:
No problem
I have a practice game tomorrow
Sari:
So?
Drew:
Damn you’re too harsh, Miranda
Sari:
Mehhhhh
Drew:
Wanna watch?
Sari:
Not sure if I wanna see you run around on the grass
And I have work after class
Drew:
Haha run around the grass. Nice way to put it
Anyway, was just taking my chance
Sari:
Lol you’re honestly just wasting your time on me. Go find someone else
Drew:
They’re not as fun as you
Sari:
You just like the challenge haha
Drew:
Maybe… but I have a lot of fun hanging with you
Plus you look like heaven and earth fell down on you
Sari:
I’m fine
Drew:
Sure I believe you
Sari:
I’m fine haha it’s better this way, you know? At least I learned early on not to get my hopes too high up
Would hurt worse if I discovered it a little too late
Drew:
Damn Miranda getting all poetic on me
Hahaha lol why’d you post my pic in your account? Making someone jealous?
Sari:
Secret hahahahha night!!!!! Practice hard! Break a leg or something

Cohen:
I need to go to Canada
Austin:
Okay fine but why is that always your solution?
Cohen:
She posted a picture of the hollywood dude
Austin:
She’s making you jealous
Cohen:
And it’s effective
I’m booking a ticket right now
Austin:
You know? Doesn’t matter what I say I know you’re already decided
Cohen:
Fine what should I do?
Austin:
You won’t listen anyway you’ll just waste my energy
Cohen:
If it’s logical… I promise to take your advice under consideration
Austin:
Fine
Here it goes
You’re in the Philippines. She’s in Canada. I don’t know if you plan to go there or if she plans to go here. Either way, there’s a distance for the foreseeable future. If your solution every time she’s mad is to go all the way to Canada, how would you two last?
And need I remind you that you have classes to attend
Again, go if you wanna go
Cohen:
So… I shouldn’t go?
Austin:
Talk to her
Cohen:
If she still doesn’t reply?
Austin:
Then wait for her to grow the fuck

Cohen:
Hey, Sari.
It’s been days since you last talked to me and I wonder when you’ll reply again? I’m really sorry for ditching you, but I hope that you know that it wasn’t my intention to leave you hanging. When I made plans with you, I fully intended to do them… but unexpected things happened and for that, I am really sorry.
I’m sorry for ditching you.
I’m sorry for going to Celia’s birthday. You must’ve felt like I betrayed you. I really was just dragged there, believe it or not.
I know you saw the pictures of us dancing and it looks bad. It already happened and I can’t do anything to take that back, but I apologize. I want to tell you everything that happened so I can be completely transparent, but to be honest, I couldn’t remember what happened that night and I couldn’t ask my brothers because they weren’t there… and I really didn’t want to talk to Celia about that night.
Anyway, I’m here in Manila South. I asked Ate Nari about your father’s exact location here since I went yesterday, but I got lost. Kuya Preston gave me an earful, but I guess I deserve that. He’s mad again at my brother, but that’s another problem.
I’m just gonna stay here for a while… message me if you wanna talk.
No pressure, of course.

Added Austin to the group
Psalm:
What’s up with Cohen?
Saint:
What the hell is this group’s name?
Psalm:
Haha change it I can’t think of anything e
But what’s up with Cohen? I went to the house earlier and he’s so quiet it almost felt eerie
He’s studying so seriously haha I thought he was Papa when I saw him
Saint:
Maybe it’s related to Sari? Idk
Preston was going crazy again accusing me of some things
Psalm:
Accuse you of what?
Saint:
I don’t know. I really don’t listen to half of what he says
Psalm:
Right haha
@Austin I know you know something
Spill
Don’t be unfair
Austin:
Ask Cohen. It’s not my business
Psalm:
I already did! He won’t say!
Austin:
Then you shouldn’t ask me
Let him handle his problems on his own
Psalm:
Okayyyyyyy you’re too serious haha
Can’t believe Cohen’s problem is with love life lol it’s almost as if just yesterday, his biggest problem was if mom would allow him to go with us in our trip to Vegas
Saint:
Yeah… he grew up too fast
Psalm:
True that
But are you both free tonight? Let’s go to the house and play basketball with him
Saint:
Okay

Celia Etta Moretti wants to be your friend
#HeyCohen74

Celia:
Hi. I don’t know if you know me, but I’m Celia Moretti. I don’t even know if you’ll see this message since you haven’t accepted my friend request… but it’s not as if I can fault you with that. I know we got off on the wrong foot because of the picture, but I want to explain my side on that one.
First, you need to know that I don’t drink. I don’t like the taste of alcohol. I’ve been called ‘uptight’ by some of my friends, so on my birthday, they wanted me to loosen up… so they spiked my water. And for some reason, Cohen drank my drink.
The photos you saw was just a product of my friends’ unfortunate judgment. I take responsibility for everything that happened on my birthday. If you wanna know what happened that night, I’m just a message away.
Nothing’s going on between Cohen and me. We’re just friends. I hope you believe this. Thank you.

Cohen:
Hi. How’s she?
Haley:
She’s fine. Busy with school.
Cohen:
No one’s bothering her?
Haley:
If you mean her bullies… no, the coast is clear.
Cohen:
Good
Haley:
Haha just ask me what you really want to ask me
Cohen:
And that is?
Haley:
Duh Sari and Drew
Cohen:
I don’t want to know
Haley:
Why?
Cohen:
Her privacy
I just want to know if she’s fine
Haley:
Lol what are you even?
She’s fine. She’s really just busy with school since I think she finally chose what to take in college
Aren’t you curious?
Cohen:
I’ll wait for her to tell me herself
Haley:
We both know Sari. She can nurse a grudge for a long long long long time
Cohen:
Well, I can wait for a long long long long time
Haley:

Just tell her you like her!

Hi.
Celia:
Hello. Thank you for replying.
Sari:
Why did you message me?
Celia:
To explain
Sari:
Why?
Celia:
Because you deserve to know the truth
Sari:
Still why?
Celia:
Because I’m not some antagonist, Sari. I’m a person and I don’t want you to vilify me in your head. What happened on my birthday was unfortunate. I didn’t plan that to happen. I’m not pathetic to drug Cohen.
Sari:
But you like him
Celia:
Yes, but that doesn’t necessarily make me a villain. I won’t stoop down that level.
Sari:
If you like him, why are you telling me this?
Celia:
Because I believe in a fair game. If you two end up together, I’d back off. But until then, I’ll be around.
Sari:
What?
Celia:
Nothing.
Thank you for replying.

Where were you, @Cohen Mom said you were out
Cohen:
Out.
Psalm:
Out where, genius?
Cohen:
Somewhere in Manila.
Psalm:
You know what? You’re tempting me to befriend your girl
Cohen:
She’s not my girl.
Psalm:
Oof do I smell bitterness
Saint:
What happened?
Cohen:
Nothing.
Saint:
Nothing nothing?
Cohen:
Yeah… she’s right beside me but she feels so far away.
Saint:
Hmmm maybe you just like her persona on the Internet and not in person? Idk just saying
Psalm:
Don’t sabotage his lovelife!
Saint:
You mean your personal entertainment?
Psalm:
Lol
Maybe she’s just still not over the whole you ditching her before? You know she’s related to Preston, right? Maybe she inherited that gene of not getting over things easily
Cohen:
They’re not related by blood.
Psalm:
I know! But Preston’s talent for resentment transcends blood relation
Saint:
Lol so true
Cohen:
But I apologized. A lot of times already. She even forced me to stop apologizing.
Psalm:
Maybe it’s time for action > words
She’s only gonna be here for what? A few weeks at most? I say make the most out of it.
Cohen:
How will I do it? She said she’ll probably stay at home since she has lots of papers to write.
And I’m not allowed to go inside Kuya Preston’s house because I’m a GDL
Psalm:
Oof soon Sari’s gonna be banned, too
Saint:
Hahahaha lol the irony. Preston hates us, but his sister’s a GDL and soon, his sister-in-law will also be a GDL
Psalm:
Haha true #karma
Oof @Austin
Saint:
Hmmm how can you have an alone time with Sari
Psalm:
How about throw a lunch or dinner and have Mary invite her evil brother? Surely Nari will bring Sari
Saint:
Okay done
Lunch tomorrow
Bring your a-game, Cohen. We have to fill Preston’s life with GDL

Preston:
Something’s fishy
Pupunta ba mga kapatid ng asawa mo??
Mary:
Yes, Kuya. Family lunch. Everyone’s invited.
Preston:
Si Santo ba may pakana nito???
Mary:
Hala si kuya
Lagi naman tayong may dinner or lunch…
And besides, what’s wrong if Saint’s brothers are invited? They’re family… though you refuse to accept that.
Preston:
Di na ko nadadaan sa mga pa-inosente mo. Alam kong corrupted ka na ng asawa mo
Anong plano niyo??
Mary:
Si Kuya haha
We’re not planning anything… We just want to have the whole family over for lunch. We want the kids to bond so they’ll grow up close. No hidden intention, I promise.
Preston:
Hmmm
Mary:
Besides, Cohen’s a nice kid, don’t you think? I know you have a problem with Saint since time immemorial, but I’d argue that Cohen’s the nicest among the siblings.
Preston:
Tignan mo! Para talaga kay Cohen yang lunch na yan bukas no??
Mary:
Kuyaaaa
You seriously need to get over this
I get why you’re mad with Saint. But why are you mad at Psalm, too? Is it because Kath liked him first before?
Preston:
WOW
Mary:
Just kidding
But lunch tomorrow?
Preston:
Fine! Pagsabihan mo yang mga kaapelido mo na na I’m watching them

Yup! Haven’t eaten kwekkwek yet tho :(
Drew:
I’ve researched about that kwekwek you’ve been raving about. It’s just quail egg with some powder. I’ll make you some when you come back
Sari:
Hahahaha lol noooo
I’ll eat kwekwek while I’m in Manila so don’t bother your white ass
Drew:
That kwekkwek date with your Manila boy still on?
Sari:
Ugh don’t call him Manila boy
He has a name you know
And I’m not sure he hasn’t asked yet
Drew:
Well won’t you ask him?
Sari:
Hmmm not sure!!!!! He’s making me really nervous!
But why are you asking me this???
Drew:
Curious
Sari:
Okay
Drew:
So?
Sari:
So he fetched me from the airport
I literally froze when I saw him
You know?!
I mean, I already know how he looks like… BUT HE’S LIKE ONE MILLION TIMES BETTER LOOKING IN PERSON I ALMOST SHIT IN MY PANTS WHEN I SAW HIM WALKING TOWARDS ME
And then he said hi
And I almost fainted
Stared at him like a starstruck girl for a few seconds before Mama elbowed me
Drew:
So you’re really not mad at him anymore?
Sari:
Ugh you sound like Haley already
Drew:
Haha you two always talk about that
Sari:
I’m not mad at him. I’ve forgotten about that but you and Haley kept on bringing it back
I was really just busy with school. I mean, you’ve seen me literally studying my ass off, right?
Drew:
Okay then
Sari:
Anyway Cohen explained. AGAIN. And I said I was fine with it don’t bother… but he’s like this cute adorable puppy
Drew:
You’re the adorable puppy. Do you know how small you are?
Sari:
Ugh tall people privilege
Anyway again since you keep on interrupting my story?????
Drew:
Hahaha sorry, Ms. Sari
Sari:
He picked me up earlier. I really thought he’d bring me to the cemetery because you know???
But you know where he brought me???
Drew:
Nope
Sari:
Epal siya oh
Drew:
Epal ka rin
Sari:
HAHAHAHA
Drew:
Thanks to you I know a lot of bad Filipino words
Sari:
LOL DREW HAHAHA
Anyway… he brought me to our old house in Manila! It was already sold… but because he’s a GDL (theyre a really big deal in the PH), he managed to convince the new owner to let us spend the whole day there.
Drew:
That was nice
Sari:
Yeah
Felt like something straight out of a fairytale for a moment
Drew:
What did you two do?
Sari:
Remained silent for a few minutes. So awkward
Then he asked things about me. Things he already knew but he said he wanted to hear it from me in person
Drew:
And?
Sari:
We talked for hours about so many random things. He asked me about my plans in college. He finally convinced himself that I wasn’t consciously ignoring him but I was just really busy.
Then when the sun was setting, we walked around and I ate isaw!!!! Cohen tried but he ended up vomiting hahahahha#richkidproblems
Then his driver drove us home
Drew:
Sounds like a good day
Sari:
Yeah it was
A really good day

Sari:
Okay ka na?
Cohen:
Yes. Why?
Sari:
Sobrang nasuka ka kaya kanina! Akala ko lalabas na internal organs mo!
Cohen:
Yeah… I’m sorry. I really tried to hold it in.
Sari:
Bakit mo kasi kinain hindi ka naman sanay…
Cohen:
You made isaw look so enticing.
Sari:
Ano yan, if I jump, you jump???
Pero okay ka na nga??? Uminom ka bang gamot?? O binisita ng family doctor niyo???
Cohen:
You’re so weird about my family. We’re not the royal family.
I just drank water and I’m good.
No need for visit from our ‘family doctor.’
Sari:
Hmp sunget??
Cohen:
Haha sorry
But I’m really fine.
Thank you for asking.
Sari:
Sure ka ha?? Mamaya kung ano mangyari sa yo
Cohen:
I won’t let isaw kill me. That’d be weird if my cause of death is eating isaw.
Sari:
Sunget??? Ako na nga concerned
Cohen:
Thanks for the concern, ma’am :)
But will you go to tomorrow’s lunch?
Sari:
Yung kila Ate Mary?
Cohen:
Yes.
Sari:
Sila Kuya ata pupunta… Di ko sure ako wala namang sinabi si Kuya na isasabit niya ako
Cohen:
Why not? You’re family.
Sari:
Family tayo??? E di bawal tayo in case kasi incest?
Charot hahaha
Cohen:
No! Not related by blood not by a long shot
Sari:
Hahahaha joke lang, ser
Cohen:
But you’re really not coming?
Sari:
Di ko sure e… Bukod sa walang sinasabi si kuya na isasama ako, may mga essay pa ko na gagawin for college application
Cohen:
Oh…
Since Kuya Preston won’t be there tomorrow, is it okay for me to visit you? I can help you with your papers. I can be your #proofreader
Sari:
Hahaha naks naman si ser
Baka atakihin sa puso si kuya kapag nalaman niya na may GDL na nakapasok sa bahay niya. Nararamdaman niya kaya yun hahaha weird pero parang may negative force kayong dala sa buhay niy kuya
Cohen:
Coffee shop?
Sari:
Sige na nga
Message kita bukas kapag isasama ako ni kuya o hindi
Cohen:
Okay.
Sari:
Uy thank you ulit talaga sa kanina… Sobrang naappreciate ko.
Cohen:
No problem.
Sari:
Sorry tahimik ako kanina. Di ko alam sasabihin ko e.
Cohen:
Yeah me too
But I appreciate you replying to my questions.
Sari:
Weird mas marami kang sinasabi kapag personal hahaha mas maingay lang talaga ako sa chat
Cohen:
Give and take
Sari:
Thank youuuu
Wala ka bang ginagawa??? Di ba may masters ka rin??? Gusto mo iproofread ko papers mo?
Cohen:
Hahaha I’m good.
Sari:
Tss mas okay na kaya ako! Naka isang A+ na ako sa paper na ako mismo gumawa!
Cohen:
Good for you. I’ll treat you icecream for that
Sari:
Last month pa yun e :P
Cohen:
If you were talking to me then, then the ice cream would’ve come sooner
Sari:

Cohen:
Yeah I never understand what that means.

Preston asked for you.
Cohen:
Oh.
Austin:
Where are you?
Cohen:
Starbucks.
Austin:
He’s gonna figure out what you did.
Cohen:
I know.
Austin:
And you’re not worried?
Cohen:
We’re in Tagaytay.
I remembered Kuya Preston asking Kuya Saint to chop woods. Figured he’d pull something similar again and I really need this coffee to happen.
Austin:
Lol… okay.
Enjoy your ‘coffee.’
Cohen:
Surely will, kuya.
Tell Kuya Saint and Psalm not to piss Kuya Preston too much. I’ll be the one suffering the consequences.
Austin:
Too late. They’re already bickering like kids

Haley:
Aba may pa IG story na kayo landi landi niyo
Sari:
Haley:
LANDI
Sari:
Hahahaha grabe naman :( di naman ako nagpost ah!!!! Di ko nga alam na kinunan niya ng pic yung drinks namin???
Haley:
Ano? ‘Friends’ pa rin press release niyong dalawa
Sari:
Uu. Wala naman siyang sinasabi. Friends lang kami ganern
Haley:
Alam mo dati nakakaworry yang pagiging assumera mo… Ngayon nakakaworry yang pagiging in denial mo. Di ko alam kung ano yung mas malala
Sari:
E mahirap namang mag assume no? Saka mas enjoy kaya yung ganito lamoyun? Akala ko dati sobrang stalker ko na kay Cohen na tipong kilalang kilala ko na siya… pero ngayon, dami kong nalalaman about sa kanya
Haley:
Like?
Sari:
Sobrang ganda niya magsulat parang calligraphy level. Sobrang lakas niyang uminom ng tubig??? LEGIT SOBRANG NICE NIYA PARANG DI NA TOTOO???? Respectful din as in lagi niya akong pinagbubuksan ng pinto kahit saang pinto man ako pumasok. Tapos he always asks me kung okay lang ba ako o ano. Tapos bilis bilis din mamula ng buong mukha niya kapag tinutukso ko siya
Haley:
Ahhhh ganyan pala pag friends
Sari:
Ay grabe siya oh
Haley:
Haha jk
Happy for you as long as you’re happy
Sari:
Naks english hahaha charot
Basta okay naman kaming dalawa… kapag nag level up, e di okay. Kapag hindi… edi shing
Haley:
Alam mo ang weird… nagmature ka na ng konti talaga
Sari:
Grabe sa konti lang???
Haley:
In some ways, sobrang nagmature ka pero siraulo ka pa rin
Medyo okay rin pala na na-threatened ka sa upuan no? Mas sineryoso mo pag-aaral mo. Di na centered sa paghahanap ng lovelife iyong buhay mo. In a way, nagkaroon ng patutunguhan yang buhay mo.
Sari:
Grabe naman yung pagkakaphrase mo hahahaha
Haley:
Ngayon lang kasi kita nakita na magseryoso sa school haha medyo weird for me pero in a way nakakaproud for some reason
Sari:
Nahanap ko na kasi yung gusto kong gawin… At saka sa totoo lang, wala namang sinabi sa akin na masama si Celia… Ako naman iyong gaga na nagstalk sa kanya kahit pinipigilan mo na ako noon. Ako naman iyong kusang nathreaten nung nakita kung gaano siya kaganda… lamoyun? Ang classy kasi ng dating niya… Tapos parang nafigureout niya na lahat sa buhay niya.
Di naman ako ‘threatened’ more like ‘inspired.’ Na dapat ganoon din ako. Kasi tbh, ganoon iyong mga tipo na nakakatuluyan ng mga kagaya ni Cohen
Haley:
Nagustuhan ka naman ni Cohen kahit nung pariwara ka pa… pero good for you. As long as you’re doing that for yourself and no for anyone else
Sari:
Hehe labyu!!!! I love myself better now kasi may goals na ako di kagaya ng dati na goal ko lang makagraduate ng highschool charot
#ChangedPerson na talaga ako be proud
Pero antok na ko :((( buong araw akong nasa labas tapos kahit antok na antok na ako sa sobrang traffic nung pauwi na kami, di ako makatulog kasi gusto ko pa siyang kausap haaaaaay
Good night, Haley my lab

Cohen:
Just wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.
Sari:
Mukha kaya akong yaya mo minsan!!!!
Cohen:
Haha what? You’re the one who keep on walking behind me. I told you to stay by my side.
Sari:
Haba kasi ng legs mo! Yung isang step mo, dalawa ko na!
Cohen:
Complaint noted. I’ll walk slower next time.

Sari:
WHAAAAT SERYOSO????
Cohen:
Yes. Now, the surprise’s ruined.
Sari:
Hala :((( excited na ko!!! Gusto ko kaya talaga pumunta sa ganon lagi ko nakikita sa fb!!! Pero papayagan ka ba??? Dami kayang tao sa ganon. Pano mga guards mo???
Cohen:
They’ll be fine.
Sari:
Grabe si ser nagiging #rulebreaker ka na hahaha
Cohen:
You taught me well.
Sari:
Ayyy hahaha pero sure nga sila??? Nasabi mo na ba kina Nico? Baka mashookt yun
Cohen:
Yeah, they’re good. The most they did before was to follow me to school and back home. This is the most ‘fun’ I’d had in years. They’re pretty pumped up for me, to be frank.
Sari:
Ayyy sige dalhin nga kita sa lugar na maraming holdaper kung ‘fun’ pala hanap niyang sila Nico hmp
Cohen:
Haha lol
So, I’ll see you tomorrow?
Sari:

YES
Di ako kakain ng breakfast at lunch para bukas!!!! Yieee see you, ser!!!!

Sari:
Pano ka papasok?
Cohen:
I’ll jump over the fence?
Sari:
Haha seryoso ba kasi kahit gumapang ako lalabas ako para makita yan
Cohen:
No, I’ll ask Tito Shiloah. Kuya Preston can’t say no to him.
I’ll bring porridge and meds. Don’t move.

Sari:
Kasama mo ba si Kuya?
Nari:
Hindi nandyan. Bakit?
Sari:
Pupunta daw si Cohen dito e baka paalisin ni kuya
Nari:
Papaalisin talaga yun. Alam mo naman na badtrip na badtrip nung naisahan siya at pumunta kayong Tagaytay.
Sari:
E… papunta na yata dito. Di ba pwedeng pasunurin mo kung nasan ka man?
Nari:
Magtataka yun… Alam mo naman na mapagduda yun.
Sari:
Anong gagawin ko?
Nari:
Si Cohen lang ba? Baka pwede naman kung sya lang… Kapag kasama niya sila Saint, malabo talaga.
Sari:
Si Cohen lang yata… Di ko sure
Nari:
Ano bang sabi ni Cohen?
Sari:
Magpapaalam daw siya kay Tito Shiloah?
Nari:
Ay wag ka na mag-alala. No one says no to father biscuit. Chill ka na lang dyan.
Sari:
Totoo?

Oo. Inom kang gamot. Lumayo ka sa mga pamangkin mo at kay Mama. Wag kang manghawa.

Bakit ba ayaw kang ipaadd ni Cohen e kayong dalawa nga magkamukha
Psalm:
Really?
Sari:

Parang younger version mo si Cohen physically pero sa ugali, mas kaugali niya si Kuya Austin pareho kasing tahimik

So you’re saying that Saint’s the odd one out

Sari:
Nakakailang kasi huhuhu buti si Cohen lagi akong sinasama sa usapan kahit minsan one word reply lang ako kasi shookening ako sa mga kapatid niyang mukhang manikin
Haley:
Di ka nagsalita buong lunch niyo?
Sari:
Nagsalita naman pero di daldal talaga kasi parang di rin sila makapagtanong??? Pinagbawalan yata ni Cohen na kausapin ako idk hahaha
Pero nice naman sila nagtanong lang sila about life ko sa Canada and sa studies ko mga ganern sobrang general topic
Haley:
Mukhang okay naman pala sila…
Sari:
Okay na okay sobrang nice??? Tho si Kuya Psalm sobrang gulo as in nakakaloka
Haley:
At least di sila kagaya nung mga mayayaman na sarap saktan??? Iaaccept mo na sila?
Sari:

Para walang gulatan
Haley:
Ay wala na. May pagpapaalam na na nagaganap
Sari:

Haley:
Di ka selos?
Sari:
Nope
Haley:
Dahil ba #changedperson ka na?

Hi, Sari. It’s Celia. Cohen left his phone. He went outside.
Sari:
Uy hello, Celia!
Cohen:
Hi. Hope you don’t mind that I replied. You’re messaging him a lot.
Sari:
Di naman ako galit haha baka si Cohen magalit sa yo bakit mo pinapakailamanan phone niya
Cohen:
Cohen doesn’t know how to get mad.
Sari:
Nagagalit kaya yun #badboy yun e hahaha kamusta si Cohen? Kumakain ba? Umiinom ba ng tubig? Baka madehydrate yun

Celia:
What you said didn’t work. She seems unfazed and unbothered that Cohen’s with me.
Shey:
Lol she’s confident. Are they official?
Celia:
No, I don’t think so… I asked Tita Anna and she said that there’s no one.
Shey:
Hmmm maybe Cohen hasn’t introduced her yet?
Celia:
Why?
Shey:
Idk I just thought that GDL would marry someone from the same circle… Sari’s not from our circle.
Celia:
I thought so, too… but Cohen seems serious with her. He keeps on checking his phone all throughout the conference.
Shey:
Then give it up? Celia, you’re so fucking gorgeous stop wasting your time on Cohen. We both know that you don’t like him like that. You’re just challenged because there’s already someone else.
You don’t like the person. You like the chase.
Celia:
Maybe I like Cohen. You don’t know.
Shey:
You’re so weird.
Celia:
What do I do?

Look for your missing self worth

I don’t know if she replied because I blocked her after telling her how disappointed I was that she thought she could just mess with my phone and violate my privacy like that.

Hala galit ka pa rin? :(
First time kita makita mainis kanina huhu para kang puppy na galit

GDL Sibs ver 2.0 (Maggie still not welcome)
Cohen:
I need a favor.
Saint:
About?
Cohen:
Sari.
Psalm:
Shoot. What about future sis in law?
Cohen:
Please don’t say that in front of her.
Psalm:
Lol you shy, little brother?
Cohen:
Please don’t scare her away.
Psalm:
Hahaha okay okay
Saint:
But what’s the favor?
Cohen:
Since we’ll be celebrating Christmas elsewhere and Sari’ll be celebrating New Year with her family in the province, I figured we could just celebrate both plus her birthday and Valentine’s etc.
Psalm:
Practically you wanna celebrate in advance all the events you’ll miss since she’s going back to Canada
Cohen:
Yes.
Psalm:
That needs to be big
Are you finally gonna confess?
Cohen:
She’s not even 18 yet.
Psalm:
She’ll turn 18 in Feb!
Cohen:
I don’t wanna worry about the future.
Are you gonna help me?
Psalm:
Duh
Just tell me what you need
Cohen:
I need suggestions.
Saint:
What does Sari like?
Psalm:
Cohen
Boom
Cohen:
She likes street food. And anime. And stuffed toy.
Psalm:
Hahaha lol she’s really still a kid
But anyway… I guess take her to an amusement park or something.
Rent a food truck idk
Saint? Any tips? Since you’re the expert in dating kids
Saint:
Fuck you
Psalm:
Hahahaha oof
But seriously, I suggest take her to an amusement park and then give her tons of gift for each occasion you’re gonna miss
Cohen:
Okay. Enchanted Kingdom?
Psalm:
Or Disneyland if you want Preston to wring your neck lol
Saint:
True that
Cohen:
What do Kuya Preston like? I badly need him to lay off of me.
Saint:
Well, since he’s the lost prince of darkness, I don’t think you can ever win him over
Psalm:
Amen.
Look at Saint… they’re already brothers in law but Preston still gags at the sight of him hahaha
Saint:
That’s right. I suggest you just learn to always anticipate his moves since he always has tricks up his sleeves
Cohen:
I don’t want him to torment me forever.
Saint:
Well you’re planning on dating his sister in law… You signed up for this, Cohen.
Psalm:
Yes.
You signed up for the Blaine Preston Suarez Torture Chamber 101
Cohen:
Geez thanks

Cohen:

Thank you.

I thought for a second there that you were going to throw tantrums
Psalm:
Lol you hater
I was just curious but Sari seemed to enjoy lol she posted a status in fb containing lots of hearts lol
Saint:
Saw that! Any progress?
Or are we not allowed to ask about that too?
Cohen:
She’s 17.
Saint:
What about when she’s 18?
Cohen:
I already booked a ticket.
Psalm:
Fuck hahaha
Here I thought that of the five of us, it’s Maggie who’s craziest when in love
Saint:
Lol I think it’s Austin but okay
Psalm:
How come?!
@Saint I need answers!!!!
Saint:
Ask him
But Cohen, you’d go to Canada on Sari’s birthday?
Cohen:
That’s the plan.
Saint:
And what is it that you’ll do?
Cohen:
Ask her.
Psalm:
Ask what? Come on just tell us that you’d ask her to be your girlfriend!
It’s not as if we don’t know that you’re crazy about her!
It’s not as if we didn’t see the GIFTS you gave her! Your generous ass is making us look bad.
Cohen:
Fine.
When she turns 18, I’m gonna go to Canada to ask for her permission to court her.
Psalm:
Court?
Cohen:
Yes.
Psalm:
Why not directly ask her to be your girlfriend?
Cohen:
Kuya Preston talked to me. Can’t tell you what we talked about, but he’s just concerned about Sari so I understand. But it’s fine. I can wait. I just want her to know about my feelings so that there’d be no confusion.
Psalm:
Well okay… Good luck, I guess?

I swear to God I don’t understand why I ever had a crush on Celia. She’s pathetic.
I can’t believe she told Abuela about Sari.
Austin:
But what if she did not?
Cohen:
This isn’t something I can just risk sorry
We’re not even there yet this is happening already
It feels like it’s bad omen
I’m freaking out
Austin:
What do you want to do?
Cohen:
Honestly? Go to Canada and personally apologize because I know I’ve been acting like an ass lately.
Austin:
I got your back, okay? We all do. I promise what happened with Maggie and Maven won’t happen to you.
Just… calm down or something. Nothing’s happened yet.
Cohen:
I’m sorry. I’m just stressing over something that hasn’t happened yet. It’s just Abuela’s not really happy with our ‘lovelives’ except with Kuya Saint’s.
Austin:
That’s because Mary’s richer than us so Abuela really really really really likes her.

@Austin since you’re the closes to Cohen, what the hell happened earlier? I really thought he’d give Abuela a heart attack!
Saint:
For real! Abuela’s face… priceless
Hahahahahah
Who would’ve thought that Cohen… of all people… would have the guts to do that? I mean… the way he straight up told Abuela that he’s planning to go to Canada and ask for Sari’s approval… damn boy he’s really making us look bad

Hahahhaha #silentbutdeadly
Still can’t get over what happened earlier
Mom’s face was smug tho
Like she’s so proud

Lol you know mom… She never likes people butting in in our business

Whatever happened to her? Since mom told her that it’s not nice to make up stories, never saw her again

Haley:
Hi, Cohen! I don’t know if I should tell you this but since you asked me before… Sari’s in the clinic right now.
You’re probably asleep right now. I mean, di ko dapat sasabihin but Sari’s trying to tone everything down na okay lang daw siya so I thought na most probably, di niya sasabihin sayo yung nangyari.
But since I owe you… yep.
But don’t worry everything’s under control naman na. Just few scratches on her arms. Naghalfday kasi ako kaya walang kasama si Sari… Nalaman ko lang nung pumasok ako kanina.
Just thought you’d want to know what’s happening over here.

Cohen:
Haha
Austin:
Also… asking for our brothers… what were you discussing with dad the other night?
Cohen:
Confidential.
Austin:
Wow haha it sounds serious.
Cohen:
It is.
Austin:
Are you gonna get married? Why so serious?
Cohen:
Lol no
Austin:
Bout abuela?
Cohen:
Yes.
Austin:
What happened?
Cohen:
Nothing… She was just hinting the other day how she’s expecting me to date someone from our ‘circle’ whatever that means.
Austin:
And what did you talk with dad about it?
Cohen:
Was just curious… if ever… if there’s a job opportunity for me in Canada in the PH embassy. Just a thought.
Austin:
Are you fucking moving?!
Cohen:
No
I don’t know
Just curious
Austin:
I promise we won’t let Abuela force you to marry or date someone else. Does mom know about this? She won’t let you leave, you know that, right?
Cohen:
I know… so don’t tell anyone about this. I’m not even sure. I was just thinking about the possibilities.
Austin:
What about school?
Cohen:
There are lots of good school there.
Austin:
You’re seriously thinking about this, aren’t you?

Yes.

Sorry not this time. I have work :(
Cohen:
Okay…
Siobhan:
Aww do you miss me already?
Cohen:
Hahaha
Siobhan:
Why not?!??! Also, you didn’t tell me about the girl in your instagram!! I’m tampo
Cohen:
Her name’s Sari.
Siobhan:
She making you happy?
Cohen:
Very much.
Siobhan:
Awww my baby’s all grown up!!!
When will I meet her?
Cohen:
She’s in Canada. If you’ll come home for Christmas next year, you’ll meet her.
Siobhan:
Hahaha why do I feel like you’re blackmailing me? You’re different na talaga
Cohen:
So does everyone say. Is it a bad thing?
Siobhan:
Nope not really. It just threw me off a little. You’d always been my baby and seeing you like this… kinda weird but a welcomed weird
I really wanna meet her!!!
Cohen:
I have a question.
Siobhan:
Shoot
Cohen:
Do you think I can handle living abroad alone? Like you did?
Siobhan:
What? Are you planning on living abroad? Where?
Cohen:
Not yet sure but do you think I can handle?
Siobhan:
For sure. Our parents are gonna help you. We’re gonna help you.
Cohen:
I plan to work plus study. Do you think I can handle that? Is it really hard?
Siobhan:
Hey this sounds really serious. Can we video call?
Cohen:
Can’t. I’m at Abuela’s. Dinner.
Siobhan:
Oh
Okay I think I get it
Listen. If you wanna go to Canada and be with Sari or whatever, it’s your decision but I’m sure mom will back you up
Cohen:
I don’t want anyone’s back up.
Siobhan:
Cohen Isaac, what the fuck is happening? You’re scaring me here
Cohen:
It’s a long story.
Siobhan:
I have time
Cohen:
So Abuela told me that she heard I’m dating someone and she said it’s okay to date her for fun. Like she’s implying I’m just playing. She also told me that she had Sari investigated and that she wasn’t impressed with what she learned. She also wanted me to date someone else.
Siobhan:
For the love of god tell me it’s not someone named Ramirez!
Cohen:
No. It’s Celia.
But still… I feel like I should prove myself first that I can stand on my own with our family helping me every step of the way. I’m grateful for everything… I really am… But I wanna be able to choose who I end up with. It’s still my life, after all.
Siobhan:
Okay. When you’re sure you wanna do this, tell me where specifically in Canada and I’ll help you find a job and get settled in. You can do this.
Cohen:
Should I tell mom?
Siobhan:
No. It’s gonna be our little secret.
Cohen:
Abuela? She’s gonna be mad.
Siobhan:
She’s already mad at me anyway so lol
Send me the address okay?! I gotchu, baby boy

Damn you’re really moving to Canada?
Cohen:
With how things are going, yes. It’s probably for the best.
Austin:
I can’t believe you’re moving. I guess I’d always seen you as a kid.
Cohen:
I know haha kinda scared to do this, but also excited, you know? I’d been sheltered all my life. I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of things.
But I can do this, right?
Austin:
Definitely.
Did you tell Saint and Psalm already?

Not yet. Still have to fix some things.

Okay.

Okay?

Tss akala mo lang yun. Di mo alam Ate mo muntik na akong layasan dati dahil sa Mama ko. Ayoko lang magaya ka dun.

Sana gets mo wag ka magalit huhuhu bata pa ako

But seriously?
Sari:
Seriously din… bakit ka pupunta dito?
Cohen:
I’ll call you.
Sari:
Ayoko mahihiya ako kapag tinawagan mo. Dito na lang.
Cohen:
Fine. What do you want to know?
Sari:
Dahil lang ba sakin kaya gusto mo dito? Kasi nandyan sa Pilipinas pamilya mo… yung iba nasa Madrid. Anong gagawin mo dito sa Canada?
Cohen:
You’re one of the reasons, but not the only reason. I’ve been sheltered all my life. I’m 22 but I’d never lived alone. I’d never earned anything myself. Everything was handed to me without me working for it. I want to be independent. I want to live alone like my sister. I want to work like my brothers. There are lots of reasons why. It’s not only you, don’t worry.
Sari:
Hala sorry :(
Cohen:
It’s fine. I understand where you’re coming from. Don’t feel pressured. Even if you’re not in the equation, I knew that one day I’d leave the country. I’d never be independent here; not with my mom hovering over me. I knew that if I wanted to be independent, it would have to be somewhere else.
And it just so happened that Canada sounds so good right now.
Sari:
Dahil sakin?
Cohen:
You’re the one who said that me being jealous is expensive.
Sari:
E di umamin ka rin na nagseselos ka nga!!!!
Cohen:
:-)
Sari:
Anyareh na sa discussion natin ser?!
Cohen:
We’ll do that face to face.
Sari:
Pupunta ka na naman dito???

Alberta? No. But I’m already preparing to move to British Columbia.
Sari:
WHAAAT MAUUNA KA PA SAKIN SA FUTURE SCHOOL KO?!
Cohen:
So you think you’ll pass?
Sari:
Hater???! Papasa ako!!!!
Yieee magiging magkapitbahay na ba tayo???
Cohen:
No haha I’ll live at least ten blocks away from you.
Sari:
Amp LDR pa rin kahit nasa isang lugar na???
Cohen:
Better than me flying for a whole day just to see you lol
Sari:
Lagi akong kakatok tandaan mo yan
10 blocks is nothing sa babaeng pursigido

But is he like 100% sure he’s going to do this?
Austin:
Yup.
Siobhan:

Hi, Kuya. I know you told me to message you only if it’s urgent, and this is urgent.
Preston:
Bakit?
Cohen:
Well… Sari came to visit me here in BC and now, she’s thinking of maybe doing a sleepover. I already told her no in all the languages I know, but she’s very persistent.
I want to inform you since we agreed on me waiting until she’s at least 20. I really tried to tell her that I’d wait but she said no waiting.
I’m sorry. But I promise I’m keeping my hands off of her.
Preston:
Hatid mo sa airport tapos iwan mo dun. Ako na bahala sa ticket send ko sa email mo
Kahit umiyak, iwan mo lang. Magaling umiyak yan wag kang magpapauto
Cohen:
I’ll just leave her there?
Preston:
Oo. Matigas ulo niyan. Wag kang magpapatalo.
Cohen:
What if she sleeps in my room and I stay in a coffee shop?
Preston:
Manang mana ka sa kapatid mo na nadadala sa iyak
Cohen:
I just can’t leave Sari in the airport…
Preston:
Fine! Sa kwarto mo si Sari sa sofa ka. Kapag nalaman ko na tabi kayong matulog sinasabi ko sa yo di ka makakapasok sa apartment na titirhan niya ipapaban kita

Noted. Thank you, kuya.

Cohen:
I wanna visit Sari but also, I don’t want to seem clingy.
She already said no. But I wanna ask again.
Stop me.
Austin:
Lol this is weird. I thought Sari’s the clingy one…
Don’t you have friends there? Try to make friends so you won’t get bored
Cohen:
I have colleagues… friends? None yet.
Austin:
Here’s the thing: you went there to experience ‘normal’ right? Well, the normal thing is for you to make friends. No one there knows who you are. You won’t have to worry about people befriending you just because of who your family is.
Also, you won’t have to go ‘crazy’ thinking about Sari
Another also… when will you tell them about you and Sari?
Cohen:
I don’t know. Won’t it be weird if I’d just message them that I already have a girlfriend.
Austin:
We already knew that this is where you two were headed
Cohen:
Thanks… for the confidence?
Austin:
Psalm will take it against you if you don’t tell him. You know he’s weirdly invested in this
Cohen:
You’re right.
Austin:
Also informing you that mom already booked tickets. We’re visiting you in three weeks.
Cohen:
Okay.

Thanks. We’re excited, too

May curfew kaya ako! Akala ko joke lang ni Kuya iyong may access siya sa CCTV pero totoo pala! Grabe talaga ’yun! Kulang pa ba iyong mga anak niya kaya pati ako nadadamay? Sana mabuntis ulit si Ate kasi nakaka-takas lang naman ako kay Kuya kapag buntis si Ate kasi napapraning siya doon.
“Sorry, love,” one of my groupmates said. “Deadline’s tomorrow. We gotta finish this. But on the bright side… we have donuts!”
Napa-kunot ang noo ko. Hinding-hindi ko talaga maiintindihan ang fascination ng mga Canadians sa donuts! Pati nga si Drew mahilig sa donuts… to think na sobrang health conscious nun. Ano na kaya nangyari dun? Same sila ni Haley ng school e. Hmmm.
Dahil ayoko namang makipag-away, tumayo na lang ako at saka pumunta sa balcony.
“Cohen,” sabi ko sa boses na nagsusumbong. “Ayaw nila akong paalisin. Tatapusin daw namin.”
“Oh… It’s okay.”
“Sabi ko sabay tayo magdidinner, e…”
“It’s fine. What time will you finish? I’ll pick you up.”
“Hindi ko alam… Pero baka madaling araw na. Tulog ka na, baby boy.”
“No, it’s fine. Just text me when you’re done.”
“E mapupuyat ka,” sabi ko sa kanya. Na-stress nga ako nung pumunta si Tita Anna ng biglaan! As in first hand ko nakita kung gaano ka-baby boy si Cohen! Pinagalitan siya kasi pumayat daw (feeling ko hindi naman same pa rin naman itsura niya) tapos bakit daw may eyebags (na na-konsensya ako kasi ako yata dahilan kaya may eyebags kasi tuwing late ako umuuwi, sinusundo niya ako. Didn’t matter if 3 or 4am na ako matapos, basta susunduin niya ako).
Haaaaaay.
Peste talaga mga groupmates ko! Kung ’di sila nanood ng video nung unggoy na nangunguha ng gamit, e ’di sana patapos na kami! E ’di sana ka-dinner ko na si softboy ngayon!
“I’m doing my papers,” he reasoned out.
“Fine. Kain ka na.”
“Have you eaten?”
“Di pa! Donut lang meron!”
He laughed. Alam niya kasi na badtrip na ako sa donut. “You want me to swing by and bring you food?”
“Wag na. Grabe naman maka-spoil ’to,” I said, smiling to myself. Bakit ang swerte ko? Love life lang naman hanap ko… pero sobra-sobra yata nakuha ko.
’Di ko pa nakikitaan si Cohen ng flaw… well, bukod sa pagiging takot niya kay Kuya. As in sinusunod niya lahat ng sabihin ni Kuya. Two months in college, ’di pa ako nakaka-pasok sa apartment niya!
“But seriously? You want?”
Tumingin ako sa mga groupmates ko na busy na naman na manood ng video! Leche naman?!
“Okay punta ka dito. Text mo ko kapag nasa baba ka na.”
Bumalik ako roon. Nagsimula na akong gumawa ng intro habang tawa sila nang tawa. Nakaka-kalahating page na ako nang magtext si Cohen na nasa baba na raw siya. At dahil busy pa naman ang mga magagaling kong groupmate, hindi nila napansin na umalis ako. Bahala sila d’yan.
I bit my lower lip to supress a smile when I saw him standing outside the door and holding a paper bag. He was wearing a navy blue winter coat and black beanie kaya na-flat ’yung kulot niyang buhok. Ang pula rin ng ilong niya.
“Naks naman!” I said upon reaching him. Agad kong pinulupot iyong mga braso ko sa bewang niya. I love hugging him like this because I could hear his heartbeat dahil hanggang doon lang iyong ulo ko umaabot. “Ano’ng dala mo?”
“Chinese food,” he said.
I beamed. “I love you talaga.”
He wrinkled his nose. “I love you, too.”
I pouted my lips. “Kiss mo ko.”
He laughed. “Really?”
“Bilis na! Wala namang tao!”
He laughed, but nevertheless obliged. He leaned in and planted a kiss on my lips. I pouted again kaya hinalikan niya ulit ako. Mga isang minuto akong naka-pout kaya mga sampung beses yata akong hinalikan ni Cohen.
Sino’ng mag-aakala na iniistalk ko lang ’tong lalaki na ’to dati? Layo na ng narating namin.
“Where are we gonna eat?” he asked, looking around. It was already 11pm. Ang lamig ng hangin. Ako naman na malandi, naka-yakap sa kanya.
“Sari,” he called my name. ’Di ko na kasi pansin iyong mga nangyayari dahil busy akong kumapit sa gilid niya. Ganito kasi lagi kong ginagawa minsan kapag tinatamad na akong maglakad. Yumayakap ako sa gilid niya tapos nasasama na ako kapag naglalakad siya. ’Di naman siya nagrereklamo.
May picture pa nga kami nun tapos pinost niya sa Facebook! My God! Sa Facebook! Medyo tago pa kapag sa Instagram siya nagpopost ng pictures namin, e… Pero sa Facebook? Nandun lahat ng kamag-anak niya… as in lahat.
Nagulat din tuloy iyong iba kong hindi close friends na may jowa na raw ako—and apparently, kilala nila si Cohen dahil sa basketball. ’Di kasi kami naka-in a relationship doon, e. Ewan ko. ’Di ko binago. Didn’t feel the need to. Ang importante, kami talaga in real life. ’Di ko naman kailangan iexplain sa mga tao online ’yun.
“Thrice lang tayo nagkita ngayon,” I said, pouting habang inaayos niya iyong food namin.
“Yeah. You’re so busy.”
I frowned. “Grabe naman? Alam mo naman na nag-aaral ako para sa future natin.”
He laughed. “You always say that.”
“Seryoso kasi? Dami ko pang kailangang patunayan para ’di na ako apihin ng lola mo.”
Kumunot na naman iyong noo niya. Bakit ang cute niya pa rin kapag ganon?! Ang tangos pa ng ilong! Ang pula ng labi! Although hanggang ngayon mukha pa rin siyang naliligaw minsan.
“I told you don’t bother.”
“E… syempre mas masaya kung happy all.”
“I don’t really care if she doesn’t like you—I love you. That’s more than enough.”
I grinned and pouted again. “Kiss mo na ulit ako.”
“Let’s eat first,” he said, shaking his head. Tss! Hindi pa nga niya ako nakikiss nung totoong kiss, e! Palaging peck lang! Hmp! Pero mabuti na kaysa wala.
Kumain kaming dalawa. Sabi ko kanina sa sarili ko 30 mins lang dahil syempre may groupwork pa! Seryoso naman ako sa pag-aaral ko kahit papaano! Pero dahil kasama ko si Cohen, nag-enjoy ako kaya naging one-hour iyong kain namin.
“Text me when you’re done,” he said.
I nodded. “Tulog ka na… Tawagan na lang kita kapag tapos na kami. Okay?”
“Okay,” he said. I knew that he’d do that… because the thing with him, kapag sinabi niya, gagawin niya talaga. I guess that’s why I never worry when it’s with him. May isang salita kasi talaga siya.
I immediately waived and went back inside. I ran upstairs at pagbalik ko hinahanap nila ako pero sabi ko nagpahangin lang ako sa labas… ’Di naman sila nagtanong.
Natapos kami ng around 4am pero ayoko naman na gisingin pa si Cohen kaya nagsabi ako na magse-stay ako hanggang 6am para tapusin iyong part ko. Nakonsensya naman sila kaya hanggang 6am kaming lahat doon.
Pag-uwi ko sa apartment, nagtext lang ako kay Cohen na kakauwi ko lang. Dahil medyo mamaya pa naman ’yung class ko, nagnap muna ako dahil antok na antok na talaga ako.
“Oh, my god!” sigaw ko sabay hawak sa dibdib nang makita ko siya na naka-tayo sa labas ng apartment ko. Naka-suot na naman siya nung beanie niya.
“Breakfast?” he asked like a cute puppy.
“Kanina ka pa ba dito?”
Sabay kaming naglakad. Kinuha niya iyong gamit ko. Kahit magaan lang ’yung gamit ko, kinukuha niya palagi—of course tatanungin niya muna ako kung gusto ko ba na siya ang magdala.
Ang perfect talaga, kainis!
“Around half an hour,” he innocently said.
“Ang tagal! Bakit ’di mo ako tinext?”
“I thought you might be sleeping,” he said, shrugging, and then proceeded to ask me kung natapos na raw ba namin iyong groupwork. Sinabi ko lang sa kanya iyong mga nangyari tapos tumatango lang siya. Hindi naman interesting iyong sinasabi ko, pero sobrang focused siyas a pakikinig sa akin. I anchored my arm with his tapos sinandal ko iyong ulo ko sa braso niya.
“Sunday na bukas…” I said, wiggling my eyebrow. “Date na tayo.”
“Kuya said—”
Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. “Di naman alam ni Kuya kung anuman gagawin natin.”
“I know but—”
“Takot ka ba sa kanya?”
“No but—”
“Bakit ka ba—”
“Sari,” he said, making me stop talking and focus on how… bakit ang gwapo?! Bakit ang perfect?! Ano ba meron sa genes ng pamilya ng lalaking ’to? Masyadong pinagpala!
“By now, you should know that I’m very, very serious about this,” he said, pointing at the both of us. Kinagat ko iyong pang-ibabang labi ko. Kinikilig talaga ako kapag sinasabi niya sa akin na seryoso daw siya sa amin… sus ’di pa sabihin na ako ang balak niyang pakasalan. Ako talaga ang nagwagi!
“Serious din kaya ako…”
“So, we shouldn’t anger Kuya.”
“Ang higpit kasi masyado.”
“He just cares about you.”
“I know but—”
“We can still enjoy ourselves without making an enemy out of him, right?” he asked, looking me straight in the eyes… Sabi ko nga agree ako.
Tahimik kaming naglakad papunta doon sa favorite naming café. Seryosong naka-tingin si Cohen kasi balak niya yata na tikman iyong buong menu kaya seryoso siya sa pagpili. Habang sobrang focused siya, kinuhanan ko siya ng picture. Hindi ko naman inuupload iyong mga pictures… tinitignan ko lang kapag bored ako. Kapag gustung-gusto ko na siyang kulitin tapos magdemand na ako iyong unahin niya. Nireremind ko iyong sarili ko na magbehave kasi kapag isip bata ako palagi, baka iwan niya ako. Alam ko naman mahaba pasensya niya… pero syempre lahat may hangganan.
And I don’t want us to end.
Kaya behave lang ako.
“What do you ever do with those pictures?” he asked with his eyes still on the menu.
“Souvenir.”
“Why? We’re always together.”
“Wala lang,” I said, shrugging. “Cohen… sa tingin mo tayo na talaga forever and ever amen?”
His forehead creased. “Unless you plan on breaking up with me… pretty much, yes.”
“Di ka naiinis sa ’kin? ’Di ka napipikon? ’Di mo naiisip na minsan nakaka-irita ako?”
Ibinaba niya na iyong menu tapos sumeryoso iyong mukha niya. Gusto kong pisilin iyong ilong niya kasi namumula.
“You want my honest answer?”
I nodded. “Honest ka naman lagi,” I replied. Honest talaga siya… kahit minsan hindi maganda iyong message, he finds a way to say it without it being too hurtful. He’s just nice—sometimes too nice.
“Before… yes, you were pretty annoying. But when I got radiosilence from you, it was like my whole world was turned upside down. Suddenly, I missed you flooding me with texts, telling me things I really couldn’t understand.”
“Hindi ’yun annoying?”
Umiling siya. “No. Please don’t ever think that you’re annoying to me.”
“E… paano kapag busy ka?”
“Never too busy for you.”
“Weh?”
He nodded. “If you need me, tell me.”
“E paano nga kapag busy—”
“I love you. Of course you’d come first in everything.”
Sabi ko nga…

Epilogue (2 of 5)
Sobrang antok na antok pa ako dahil pinilit ko talaga na tapusin lahat ng pending na papers ko kagabi dahil may date kami ni Cohen ngayon. Kapag kasi alam niyang may kailangan akong gawin for school, ipipilit niya na unahin ko ’yun. Mas important daw ang acads dahil siya, makakapaghintay naman… E dahil ayokong pinaghihintay siya kaya pinilit ko talaga na tapusin kagabi.
Besides, sobrang busy namin both for the first two months! Sobrang dalang namin nagkikita! Ang pagkikita lang talaga namin ay kung hindi ihahatid niya ako sa school o susunduin kasi late ako makaka-uwi. Kailangan na talagang mangyari ’yung date na ’to kung hindi, mababaliw na ako!
“Okay,” I told myself as I was drying my hair. “Tapos na ko sa school… Okay na rin ’yung laundry… May naka-limutan pa ba ako?” I wondered out loud because I really didn’t want to forget anything. I just wanted to enjoy this day with Cohen.
Gusto ko lang lumandi ngayong araw!
Nang maka-sigurado ako na okay na lahat, nagtext ako sa kanya na ready na ako. Okay lang naman talaga sa akin if ako naman iyong pupunta sa kanya for a chance dahil palagi niya talaga akong sinusundo… Pero ewan ko ba dahil talagang nag-iinsist siya na siya ang susundo sa akin palagi. Walang equality! Charot!
Naka-suot ako ng white thermal leggings tapos pink na winter coat and white na beanie. Ilang taon na ako sa Canada pero isinusumpa ko pa rin iyong lamig dito! Nase-stress ako kapag winter talaga na tipong napapatanong ako kung ano ba ang mali sa mga desisyon ko sa buhay. Kaya lang naman ako napunta dito ay dahil kailangan kong tulungan si Ate dati na itago kay Mama na buntis siya. Natakot ako nun kasi baka biglang atakihin sa puso si Mama kapag nalaman na buntis si Ate tapos hindi namin alam kung sino ’yung tatay.
Wala na akong Papa… ’Di ko na kaya mawalan ng Mama…
Kaya kahit sobrang hirap na iwan lahat ng kaibigan ko sa Pilipinas, pinilit ko na lang. Kasi alam ko na magiging okay naman lahat. And I was right…
Wala na nga akong Papa… May dumating naman na mas mahigpit. Kulang na lang itali ako ni Kuya sa sobrang kulit ko, e. Lagi kong iniinis ’yun pero sobrang thankful ako kasi kahit ’di niya talaga ako kadugo, mahal na mahal ako nun. Love ko rin ’yun ’di ko lang sinasabi kasi baka lumaki ulo.
“Hey,” he said with a gentle laugh nang sinugod ko siya ng yakap. ’Di kasi kami nagkita kahapon dahil sa lecheng groupwork ko na naman tapos siya ang dami ring paper. As in legit ang dami palang research and paper ng masteral! Parang natatakot na tuloy ako if ever.
Ayoko rin siyang isama sa group meetings ko dahil may isa akong groupmate na iba ang tingin kay Cohen. Tsk. Alam ko mga ganyang tingin! Asa pa siya!
“Kiss ko?” I asked, pouting.
He leaned in and kissed me on the lips. Ganon kasi talaga, simpleng landi lang. Pero ’yun talaga ’yung ritual namin—kiss pagnagkita tapos kiss bago maghiwalay sa gabi. Ang saya lang talaga ng buhay ko. Ang tanging pahirap lang ay ’yung mga pasaway kong groupmates!
“Ready?” he asked.
“Tuturuan mo ako, ’di ba?” He nodded. “Good! Kasi tuturuan na talaga dapat ako ni Drew dati kundi ka lang nag-inarte.”
Kumunot ang noo niya. “Why do you need him? I know how to ski, too.”
“E wala ka naman dati dito.”
“I’m here now,” sabi niya sa ibang tono. Seloso talaga ’to! ’Di masyadong obvious pero oo.
I stuck my tongue out. “Seloso.”
“Your fault. You made me this crazy.”
I grinned and gave him a side hug. “Labyu.”
Habang naglalakad kami papunta sa station, tumawag iyong isang classmate ko at nagtatanong. Kitang-kita ko na nagpipigil ng tawa si Cohen dahil natatawa talaga siya kapag nagsasalita ako ng English. Sobrang kapal kasi ng accent ko! Kasalanan ko ba! Hindi kaya nila ako naiintindihan kapag walang accent!
“Sama talaga ng ugali nito. Palibasa ang ganda ng accent mo,” I said, frowning. ’Yung isa kong groupmate na trip siya, tinanong ako kung tiga US daw ba si Cohen kasi American accent. Sinabi ko na proudly made in the Philippines ’yun.
“Your accent’s cute.”
I glared at him. “Bad boy na naman ’tong bwisit na ’to.”
Hanggang makarating kami sa bus station, ginagaya lang ako ni Cohen magsalita. Favorite niya kapag sinasabi ko ’yung salitang about and out . Sama ng ugali!
“I need to go home next month,” he said.
“Para san?” I asked. Minsan umuuwi talaga siya bigla kasi may mga kailangan siyang puntahan. Ang high maintenance kasi ng pamilya niyan. Minsan kahit events lang, pinapauwi talaga siya. Nung makita ko ’yung miles ni Cohen, pwede na yata akong mag-around the world sa sobrang dami!
“Forgot to ask,” he said. “But it’s only for a few days. You want me to bring you anything?”
“Bili mo kong Hany . Alam mo ’yun?” I asked and when he shook his head, I described it to him. Ang dami talagang hindi alam ng tao na ’to! Kaya goal ko talaga na pakainin siya ng mga ’di niya nakain nung childhood niya! Childhood talaga nito steak and truffles, e!
Sobrang dami kong kwento kay Cohen kaya ’di ko namalayan na nasa Grouse Mountain na pala kami.
“Ready?” he asked as we were waiting for the Skyride.
“Ready,” I said, grinning because of so much excitement! Finally, a date with him! Alam naman ’to nila Mama dahil nagpaalam ako. Ayoko lang na isipin nila na bad influence si Cohen kaya nagpapaalam ako kapag ganito na aalis talaga kami.
Naka-upo na kami sa tramway seat hanggang nagsimula na ’tong umandar. I was in awe dahil sobrang ganda ng paligid! Sobrang winter na talaga!
“Ang ganda!” I said. “Picture-an mo ako, dali!” utos ko sa kanya.
Ilang beses niya akong pinicture-an tapos pinagalitan dahil baka daw malaglag ako dahil sobrang likot ko. Nang makuntento ako, tumigil na siya. Naka-ngiti lang talaga ako kasi sobrang ganda ng view… Sobrang puro snow sa paligid… Ang ganda… Tapos kasama ko pa si Cohen…
“I love you,” I said, smiling at him. I just randomly say those three words to him kapag feeling ko sasabog na ’yung puso ko kasi alam mo ’yun? Things just can’t get any better than this. Ito na talaga. Masaya na talaga ako sa ganito.
“Thank you for everything. I really appreciate everything you do for me,” I said, continuing to smile. He was staring at me intently, like he was trying to read my eyes. Gusto ko lang naman sabihin sa kanya na na-a-appreciate ko talaga lahat ng ginagawa niya… Lalo na iyong mga maliliit na bagay na hindi naman niya kailangang gawin pero ginagawa niya dahil lang gusto niya…
“Let’s stay together forever,” I continued.
I expected him to say I love you, too because that’s what he always do. Minsan lang siya mauna magsabi sa akin nung tatlong salita na ’yun, pero wala namang problema sa akin. Hindi niya naman kailangang sabihin ng madalas dahil ramdam na ramdam ko naman. He loves me so much—no question about that.
But what he did surprised the heck out of me! He cupped my face and then kissed me on the lips! Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil akala ko kagaya lang ’yun nung mga kiss namin dati… pero akala ko mauubusan na ako ng hininga dahil ang tagal-tagal niya akong hinalikan! Bakit sanay siya sa ganito?! Nagpractice ba siya sa iba?! Sasaktan ko siya! Akala ko ako ang first and only girlfriend niya na soon to be wife?!
“Walangya ka!” I said after he kissed me. Feeling ko namamaga iyong labi ko sa tagal.
He looked baffled. Hindi na lang ilong niya ang namumula kundi pati labi niya. “What?”
“Bakit ang galing mong humalik?! Kanino ka nagpractice?!”
“What?!” he shouted.
“Akala ko ako lang!”
“Ikaw lang!” he said in that cute accent of his, damn him! Ang cute!
“E bakit—”
Instead of answering me, he cut me off again by kissing me again. Oh, my god! Ano’ng gagawin ko?! First time ko ’to! Okay, concentrate, Sari! Alalahanin mo lahat ng movie na napanood mo at libro na nabasa mo! Kalma lang!
Oh, my god! Talagang habang nandito kami sa taas ng bundok at saka niya ginagawa lahat ng ’to!
Cohen moved his lips. Sinubukan kong gayahin iyong ginagawa niya. Kinokopya ko lang lahat ng ginagawa niya kagaya ng pagkopya ko noon sa assignment ni Haley. My god! Ano’ng kalokohan ang nangyayari dito!
And when he was finally done, he rested his forehead against mine. Sobrang lapit niya… kitang-kita ko iyong kulay ng mga mata niya. Leche kahit kulay na lang ng mata ang ganda pa rin.
“I didn’t practice on anyone,” he breathed. I could see the fog coming out of his mouth. “I just… dreamed of kissing you for a very long time.”
I bit my lower lip to stop myself from smiling. “Ang ganda ko talaga.”
He laughed. “Definitely,” he said and then planted another kiss on my lips. “I love you, Sariah Mikaella. So, so much.”
Ramdam ko na nagluluha iyong mga mata ko. Wala, e. Mahal na mahal ko rin ’tong kulot na ’to.
Pagdating namin sa taas, dumiretso kami sa The Observatory dahil may reservation daw kami doon. Nagulat ako dahil fine dining iyon e alam ko na nagtitipid si Cohen! Ang tipid niya talaga! Seryoso pala siya nung sinabi niya ’yun. Sa akin nga niya pinahawak iyong credit card na bigay ni Tita Anna, e. For emergency lang daw ’yun pero ang ginagastos niya lang talaga ay ’yung sweldo niya sa work niya.
“Mahal yata dito,” I whispered.
“You’re worth it,” he replied as we were ushered to our seat. Napa-awang na naman iyong labi ko dahil ang ganda ng view.
Ang… perfect ng araw na ’to.
“Tubig na lang ako,” sabi ko.
“Just order… except wine because we’ll still go skiing.”
“Ang mahal, e.”
“It’s okay. We don’t eat out often.”
Pinilit pa ako ni Cohen na umorder hanggang wala na akong nagawa, pero pinili ko iyong pinaka-mura. Medyo namangha pa nga ako nung umorder si Cohen kasi halata mong sanay na sanay, e. Ito talaga siya… Rich kid through and through. ’Di mo maaalis sa kanya kasi ganoon siya pinalaki. Mas lalo ko tuloy naappreciate iyong pagpapaka-independent na ginagawa niya dito… Kasi alam mo ’yun? ’Di naman kailangan pero ginagawa niya.
He’s really something.
Nang dumating iyong pagkain, doon ko lang naramdaman iyong gutom ko dahil light breakfast lang iyong kinain ko dahil sabi ni Cohen may reservation kami. Medyo natagalan lang ako dahil five course meal iyon e sobrang excited na akong magskiing!
“Thank you,” I said as we were walking out of the resto. I anchored my arm with his. I really love our height difference… Walang kahirap-hirap kapag nagpapa-buhat ako sa kanya, e.
“Anything for you, my love,” he said with a smile.
“Kilig naman, baby boy!” He just laughed at me and kissed the top of my head.
Kinikilig talaga ako kapag minsan tinatawag niya akong my love ! Feel ko kasi talaga kami na talaga forever and ever amen! Kung sino ang babangga, sasaktan ko talaga!
Nang makarating na kami finally sa slope, nakinig kami sa instructions pero mostly ako lang dahil ilang beses na nakapagski si Cohen… Malamang! Nalibot na nito ’yung buong mundo, e! Bata pa lang ’to nagta-travel na… Nung tinanong ko one time dahil nacurious ako kung ilan na passport niya, sabi niya ’di daw siya sure pero nasa twenty na daw yata… Ganoon karami! Pero in his defense daw (ayaw na lang aminin na mayaman siya!), sa Europe daw kasi sila madalas kaya ang dami daw stamps.
“Ready?” he asked.
“Yes!” I exclaimed.
Doon muna kami sa beginner. Siya iyong nagsuot nung ski boots ko sa ski. Sinigurado niya na safe bago niya sinuot iyong sa kanya. Tinuturuan ako ni Cohen kahit nanginginig buong pagkatao ko. Ewan ko ba! Kahit nung nasa Pinas pa ako kapag nagpupunta kami sa skating rink ng mga classmate ko, hindi lang ako nakakapit sa railing pero naka-helmet din ako kahit pinagtatawanan ako.
“Relax,” he said, laughing, when I was shaking in fear.
“Wag mo akong bitawan, leche ka!” sigaw ko sa kanya.
“Relax, my love,” he said. “Point your feet against each other so you’ll be able to control your pace.”
“Paano kapag nagdiretso ako?!”
“I’ll run after you, I promise.”
Dahil may tiwala ako sa kanya, sinunod ko lahat ng utos niya sa akin… Sa awa ng Diyos, pagkatapos ng mahabang turuan, natuto na rin ako kahit papaano! Magic talaga na ’di nauubos pasensya sa akin ng lalaking ’to!
“Ready?” he asked when I could finally ski without falling on my butt.
“Ready!” I said, beaming with pride dahil natuto na ako kahit paano!
We spent the next minutes skiing. Medyo mabagal lang dahil hindi pa naman ako masyadong sanay. Itong si Cohen parang naglalaro lang dahil sanay na sanay naman talaga siya.
“When you’re already good, let’s go to Switzerland,” he said, smiling at me. Again… ang gwapo. Kahit simpleng light blue winter coat, light brown pants, beanie, and ski boots lang, iba pa rin! Thanks, Lord!
“Asa ka naman na papayagan ako,” sabi ko. Nung nagsabi nga lang ako na gusto kong pumunta sa New York kasama si Cohen, katakot-takot na sermon inabot ko, e! Kahit sinabi ko na bibisitahin ko lang naman si Haley and Drew!
“Well, that’s still in the future.”
“Ano’ng point mo? Matagal pa bago akong gumaling?”
He shrugged. Umabot ako ng snow at binato sa kanya. Nagulat siya nang batuhin ko siya sa mukha.
“That’s mean,” he said, wiping the snow from his annoyingly perfect face.
“E ’di guman—”
And that ensued our snow war. Buti na lang walang masyadong tao sa pwesto namin kaya nakapagbatuhan kami ng snow nang malaya. Habang kumukuha ako ng snow, bigla akong na-out of balance kaya napa-higa ako bigla. Tawa nang tawa si Cohen pero sinamaan ko siya ng tingin kaya naman lumapit siya sa akin para tulungan akong tumayo…
Pero hinatak ko siya pababa…
Pero bad move yata dahil nasa ibabaw ko siya…
“Sorry—” I said when I noticed how close our faces were… but my apology was met with silence because once again, we were freaking kissing.

Not a few seconds later, nakita ko na si Kuya na tumatawag sa Facetime. Umayos ako ng upo at iniayos ko iyong kwelyo ng suot ko. Sinuklay ko rin iyong buhok ko at umubo ng ilang beses bago sinagot iyong tawag.
“Problema mo?” bungad sa akin ni Kuya.
“Good—”
“Ano ngang problema mo?”
Asar talaga nito! Basag trip!
“I’m here for a negotiation,” sabi ko sa pormal na boses ko.
“Para sa?”
“Lifting of visitation restriction,” sagot ko. Mas lalong kumunot ang noo ko. Inabot ko iyong powerpoint presentation na ginawa ko kagabi tapos pinrint. Sumama na sa pagkunot iyong kilay niya.
“What… the hell?” tanong niya habang sinusubukang tignan nang malinaw iyong naka-print. Ang laki na nga nito, e! Bulag talaga ’yan minsan si Kuya.
“As you can see here in my infograph, Cohen and I have been together for nine months now,” sabi ko habang pinapa-kita ko iyong chart na pinaghirapan ko kagabi. Mababaliw na kasi talaga ako! Palagi na lang kaming nasa labas ni Cohen! Nauubusan na kami ng pupuntahan! Alam mo ’yung minsan gusto niyo lang naman dalawang maupo at magkwentuhan pero dahil bawal siya sa apartment ko at mas lalong bawal ako sa apartment niya, kung saan-saan pa tuloy kami napupunta! Ang gastos kaya!
“Here’s my current standing in my classes,” sabi ko sabay pakita ng scanned copy ng mga quizzes and papers ko pati ’yung lumabas na grades for midterms. “Here’s Cohen’s standing in his masteral classes,” sabi ko sabay na-proud kasi ang talino ng jowa ko! ’Di lang gwapo at mabait, matalino rin. Again, thank you, Lord!
“Ano’ng point nito?” naka-cross arms na tanong ng pinaka-malaking kontrabida sa buhay ko. Si Mama at Tita nga laging kinakamusta sa akin si Cohen, e! Si Kuya lang talaga ang tanging isang malaking germs ang tingin kay Cohen!
“The point, Mr. Suarez, is that our relationship is not a hindrance in our performance in school. In fact, if you can look at this,” sabi ko sabay pakita nung grades ko nung nasa highschool pa ako. “There’s a significant increase in my grades from the moment my communication with Mr. Gomez de Liaño ensued.”
Kunut na kunot ang noo ni Kuya.
“Ano ba talaga ang point nito? Magpapakasal na ba kayo?” he asked.
Biglang namula ang buong mukha ko. My God! Syempre gusto ko pero ang bata pa kaya namin! Ang gusto ko lang naman ay maka-tapak sa loob ng apartment niya and si Cohen sa apartment ko!
“N-No,” sagot ko. “All I’m asking… is if you’ll consider lifting the ban.”
Umangat ang kilay niya. “Bakit? Nagkikita naman kayo palagi. Dami niyo ngang pictures.”
I stuck my tongue out. “Stalker!” sabi ko sa kanya. “Pero sige na, please? Nakaka-pagod na kaya magstay sa labas… Saka alam mo, Kuya, kung may balak man akong masama kay Cohen, ’di ko kailangan ng apartment, okay? Creative akong tao.”
Nanlaki ang mga mata niya.
“Ikaw na bata ka!”
“Kaya payagan mo na kasi kami!”
“Bakit nagpapaalam ka pa?”
“Syempre bukod sa takot ’yung boyfriend ko sa ’yo, ayoko naman na magalit ka sa ’kin,” sabi ko kaya biglang lumambot iyong mukha niya. Ayan na. Papayag na ’yan. Madali lang naman utuin ’yan si Kuya… “Sige na, Kuya? Behave naman ako, ah…”
“Pag-iisipan ko,” sabi niya.
“Maghihintay ako ngayon habang nag-iisip ka.”
“Mamaya na.”
“Please?” I begged. “Seriously kasi, Kuya… Si Cohen na talaga ’yung forever and ever and ever amen ko. Saka prejudice sa mga GDL aside, ano ba’ng ayaw mo sa kanya? Ang bait nung tao! Kulang na nga lang lagyan ng red carpet nilalakaran mo sa sobrang takot sa ’yo, e.”
Umirap siya. “Dami mong alam.”
“Syempre, prepared ako.”
“Ganyan mo na kagusto?”
I nodded. “Di lang gusto. Mahal ko kaya ’yun.”
“Okay but—” sabi niya pero napa-tigil siya nang may sumigaw ng malakas na DADDYYYYY! Sino kaya ’yun? Ugh! Namimiss ko na mga pamangkin kong pasaway! Gusto ko na magDecember ulit!
“Okay?!” I repeated his reply.
“Oo… pero umayos kayo,” sabi niya habang seryosong naka-tingin.
I grinned. “Yes! Thank you, Kuya! The best ka talaga! Love you!” I shouted bago ako kumaway at sinarado iyong laptop ko. Sumayaw muna ako sa loob ng apartment ko kahit walang tugtog. Sobrang talun ako nang talon sa sobrang saya. Sobrang accomplishment! After nine freaking months!
Mabilis akong nagbihis tapos didiresto na dapat ako sa apartment pero naalala ko na napromise si Cohen sa akin na ipagluluto niya ako once na pwede na akong tumambay sa apartment niya. Kaya dumaan muna ako sa grocery para bumili ng ingredients para sa lasagna kasi kaya niya na gumawa nun. Proud talaga ako sa softboy na ’yun! Parang dati takot lang siya sa mantika, e.
I got the ingredients tapos dumiretso na ako sa apartment niya. I really wanted to surprise him kaya naghintay ako ng tenant na papasok tapos bago magsara, tumakbo ako papasok and then dumiretso ako papunta sa floor ng unit ni Cohen. Kakatok na sana ako ng makarinig ako ng mga boses.
“Hey,” he said when he answered my call.
“San ka?”
“Apartment,” he replied. “My family visited.”
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. Nandito ba ulit si Tita Anna?! Ewan ko pero medyo kinakabahan talaga ako kapag nakikita ko siya. Mabait naman talaga siya, medyo intimidating lang.
“Where are you? They’re asking for you.”
“Uh…” sagot ko habang naka-tingin sa dala kong paper bag.
“We’re getting lunch outside. Where are you? I’ll pick you up,” sabi niya tapos naka-rinig ako ng malakas na tawanan. Pretty sure I heard Kuya Psalm’s voice saying whipped.
“Uhm… Nandito ako sa labas ng unit mo.”
“Huh? Aren’t you banned?”
“Kinausap ko si Kuya… Pwede na raw…” sabi ko tapos narinig ko naman iyong boses ni Kuya Saint. Oh, my God! Nandito talaga silang lahat! Last time kasi si Tita Anna lang, e.
Itatanong ko pa sana kay Cohen kung saan kakain kasi susunod na lang ako. ’Di ako prepared kumain sa labas kasi akala ko tatambay lang ako sa kanya kaya naka-shorts at maluwag na white shirt lang ako sa ilalim ng jacket ko. Kaso bumukas iyong pinto.
“Uy—”
But he quickly closed the door behind him and kissed me on the lips. And then he smiled and said, “Hi.”
I bit my lower lips. Right. “Hi.”
“What did you say to Kuya?” he asked, getting the paper bag from my arm. I merely shrugged. “Is he angry?” Umiling ako. “You sure?” Tumango ako. “Why… do I feel scared?”
Natawa ako. “I promise hindi siya galit. Saka… akala ko mag-isa ka lang kaya bumili ako ng ingredients for lasagna para sana ipagluto mo ako.”
He used his free hand and held my chin and kissed me again. “Tonight? Or there’s a time frame?”
“Grabe! ’Di ko na natanong ’yun! Basta pwede na raw ako tumambay dito and pwede ka na rin daw sa apartment ko.”
“Oh…” sagot niya.
I arched my brow. “Basta uuwi ako!”
He laughed. “Of course.”
Niyakap niya muna ako nang matagal bago biglang bumukas iyong pinto at nagulat na lang ako may naka-tapat na camera sa harap namin. Siraulo talaga mga kapatid ni Cohen. Seriously, siya pinaka-normal sa kanila. Si Kuya Psalm kasi sobrang pasaway! Si Kuya Saint naman, minsan pasaway minsan suplado. Si Kuya Austin naman, sobrang tahimik na tipong feeling mo ang boring mo kausap kasi ’di siya nagsasalita. Si Ate Maggie naman… well, ’di ko pa siya nakikita in person pero medyo natatakot ako kasi second mother daw ni Cohen ’yun, e.
“There they are!” Kuya Psalm shouted. “Hey, future sis!”
I awkwardly smiled. “Hi, Kuya.”
“Come in,” sabi niya na akala mo siya may-ari nung apartment.
Akala ko pagpasok ko makikita ko mga gamit nila pero wala akong nakita… Baka naka-check-in sa hotel. Ano kaya trip ng mga ’to? Literal na ang dami nilang pera dahil papunta-punta lang sila dito.
I felt so awkward dahil ang tatangkad nila. Para talaga akong dwarf kapag kasama ko ’yung magkakapatid na ’to.
Later on, medyo natahimik sila dahil nanonood sila ng NBA. Nagtatalo lang silang tatlo doon. ’Di ko maintindihan dahil ’di naman ako masyadong mahilig sa basketball—sa basketball player lang.
Naka-tayo kami sa may kitchen habang nilalabas ni Cohen iyong laman ng paper bag.
“Hanggang kailan sila dito?” I asked.
“Don’t know… But they said they’d go to DC for something.”
“Sa hotel sila?”
“Yes,” he said. “We’ll have lunch outside and they said they wanted to go to Grouse. You want?”
“May gagawin ako mamaya, e…” sabi ko. Kapag sumama ako, mapapagod ako kagaya nung last time. Baka tulog agad ako pag-uwi ko.
“Oh,” he said. “It’s okay. They can manage.”
“Di ka sasama?”
Umiling siya. “They just went here because they saw our photos and they wanted to ski.”
Umawang ang labi ko. Talagang nagpunta sila dito para lang ’dun?! Lakas ng trip talaga ng mga tao na ’to, nakaka-loka!
“Hey, sis,” rinig kong sabi ni Kuya Psalm tapos inakbayan ako. Nakita ko iyong pagkunot ng noo ni Cohen. “We’ll go to Grouse. Wanna join para fun?”
I shook my head. “Sorry, Kuya. May gagawin na kasi ako mamaya.”
“Yeah, I won’t come, too,” Cohen added.
“Grabe naman! We came here for you and you’ll ditch us?” tanong ni Kuya na parang nagtatampo. Ang cute niya talaga! Bakit nga wala pang lovelife ’to? Siya na lang walang lovelife sa kanila.
Instead of answering, Cohen just shrugged and proceeded to putting the groceries inside the ref and cupboard. Kinulit lang siya nang kinulit ni Kuya para sumama sa kanila na magski pero ayaw talaga ni Cohen.
“Sari, tell him.”
“Ano po?”
“Tell him to come with us. I know he’ll listen to you.”
Napa-tingin ako kay Cohen na umiiling. Parang tanga naman ’tong dalawa na ’to! Umalis na ako doon tapos pupunta sana ako sa sala pero nakita ko na nandun si Kuya Saint at Kuya Austin at seryoso pa rin na nanonood ng basketball kaya nahiya ako na tumabi sa kanila kasi ’di naman ako close masyado.
Saan ako pupunta?
“Cohen, pahiram laptop,” I said. Gagawa na lang akong report. Nakaka-hiya naman kasi kung aalis ako bigla e nandito sila.
Cohen nodded and went to his room to get the laptop. Naiiling na natatawa si Kuya Psalm.
“You really got him wrapped around your fingers, huh?” he asked, his arms crossed.
“Hindi naman… Mabait lang talaga ’yun.”
“Well, you’re right… But he’s different now.”
I smiled. “Marunong na magluto at saka maglaundry, Kuya!” I proudly said because that really was such an achievement for Cohen! Sobrang proud talaga ako na lumabas siya sa comfort zone niya. Ang layo niya na sa nung unang nakilala ko siya at nasuka siya nung kumain ng isaw. Mas matapang na yata sikmura niya ngayon. Susunod aayain ko na kumain ng palaka ’yun.
Kuya Psalm grinned. “Nice. But seriously, you really can’t come? Sana para we can all bond.”
“Ang layo kasi, Kuya…” I reasoned. “May gagawin pa talaga ako mamaya.”
He just nodded. Binigay na sa akin ni Cohen iyong laptop niya. Nandun ako sa nook nagta-type habang nanonood silang magkakapatid ng basketball. A little while later, tumayo si Cohen para magmicrowave ng popcorn. I felt him kiss the top of my head. Buti naka-talikod sa amin iyong mga kapatid niya!
“Where do you wanna go for lunch?”
“Sama pa rin ba ko?”
“Yes. They decided not to go.”
“Ha? Bakit?”
“They’ll just go tomorrow instead. They wanted to play basketball, tho.”
Nagshine iyong mga mata ko. Never ko pa napanood live si Cohen magbasketball! Though nung mga panahon na iniistalk ko siya, napanood ko na iyong mga highlights niya sa Youtube and ang galing nga nila! Though kahit mahal ko si Cohen, ’di ko madedeny na si Kuya Saint talaga ang basketball god sa kanilang apat.
“Sama ko!” I said.
He laughed. “Why? You wanna play, too?”
“Di ako marunong. Ichi-cheer na lang kita,” I said, beaming.
“Really?” he asked na parang ’di maka-paniwala.
I nodded. “Oo… Gusto mo gawa akong pompoms?”
He laughed. “No need,” he replied, touching my cheek with his thumb. “You’ll really cheer for me?”
“Oo… Bakit?”
“Nothing… I just remembered back in college, I always saw Ate Mary cheering for my brother. I thought that that was nice.”
I wrapped my arms around his waist, hoping na nanonood pa rin ng basketball iyong mga kapatid niya. “Aww, soft boy. I promise, ichi-cheer kita hanggang mamaga lalamunan ko.”
Pumunta kami sa diner. Napansin ko lang na sobrang healthy kumain ni Kuya Saint—may pa-salad. Si Kuya Psalm naman, sobrang greasy nung pagkain. Si Cohen at Kuya Austin lang ang medyo well-balanced diet. Kambal talaga ’tong dalawa na ’to.
Habang kumakain, tahimik lang akong nagmamasid sa kanila. Englishero nga talaga… ’Yun talaga sila mag-usap. Lahat sila American accent. Lahat mukhang manikin—though si Kuya Psalm talaga grabe ang ganda ng balat! Sana all.
Nang matapos kumain, naglakad-lakad muna kami tapos tumambay sa park. Mayamaya, pumunta kami sa private court na pwedeng rentahan. Naupo ako sa gilid. Nagreready na ako para i-cheer si Cohen. Medyo nakaka-hiya kaya pero sige na! Sa dami ba naman ng ginawa niya for me, ano ba naman ’tong mapahiya ako ng konti?
“You know how to play?” Kuya Saint asked habang umiinom ng tubig.
Umiling ako. “Hindi po. Nood lang ako sa inyo.”
“Come on, let’s play. Cohen will teach you,” he said, smiling.
Umiling ako gamit ang ulo pati mga kamay ko. “Hala, ’wag na po. Okay na ko dito,” pangungumbinsi ko kasi okay na talaga ko dito!
“Okay,” he said, smiling before jogging back to the court.
Nagsimula na silang maglaro ng two against two—si Kuya Saint at Cohen tapos si Kuya Austin at Kuya Psalm. Ang saya nila tignan kasi nag-e-enjoy lang sila tapos minsan lumalabas iyong middle finger lalo na mula kay Kuya Austin.
“Go, Cohen!” sigaw ko nang makuha niya iyong bola. Nandun siya sa three-points line tapos nung sumigaw ako, kahit ’di siya tumingin sa akin, nakita ko na napa-ngiti siya. “Nice one!” sigaw ko nang pumasok iyong bola sa basket, as in swak na swak.
Ang gwapo, punyeta?!
Sobrang na-hype ako after nun kaya nagcheer na talaga ako. Tinutukso si Cohen ng mga kapatid niya pero wala akong pakielam. My God! Paano kaya kung maaga akong lumandi?! Imagine kung nagcheer ako kay Cohen nung college basketball nila?! Malamang napaaway ako sa lahat ng magchi-cheer sa kanya!
“Gusto mong Gatorade? Bibili ako?” I asked nung nagbreak sila sandali. Inabot ko iyong towel sa kanya habang umiinom siya ng tubig. Tapos dahil malandi ako, kinuha ko ’yung towel tapos ako na nagpunas sa kanya. “Ang galing mong maglaro!”
“Really?”
I nodded with much enthusiasm tapos kinwento ko kung paanong ang galing niya nung nagthree points siya tapos nung naagaw niya iyong bola kay Kuya Austin tapos nung nasupalpal niya si Kuya Psalm nung nagtry magdunk. Ang galing!
Naka-ngiti lang si Cohen sa akin habang nagkukwento ako.
“I love you,” I told him.
“I love you,” he replied.
Naka-rinig kami ng vomiting sounds courtesy of Kuya Psalm. Bitter talaga!
Nagsimula na ulit iyong game. Todo cheer pa rin ako. Natapos sila at nanalo si Kuya Saint at Cohen… obviously. Nagpaalam na muna iyong tatlo na diretso na muna sila sa hotel nila at bukas na pala sila pupunta sa Grouse para kasama si Cohen kasi ayaw talaga sumama ni Cohen ngayon sa kanila.
“Do you still want to make lasagna?” he asked habang nagpupunas ng pawis sa mukha.
I smiled at him. “May jersey ka bang dala dito? Penge ako.”
“Why?”
“Pantulog ko.”
“Okay?” he asked. “My jerseys are in the Philippines.”
I frowned. “Yun na lang uwi mo sa ’kin.”
“Seriously?”
I nodded. “Yup! Gusto ko ng jersey mo. Tapos if may varsity jacket ka nung college, penge din ako?”
He laughed. “Why are you suddenly into basketball now?”
“Ayaw mo nun? May common interest na tayo!” sabi ko sa kanya habang nag-iisip pa ng kung ano ang pwede kong arborin sa kanya. So far, meron na akong dalawang t-shirt ni Cohen na hinding-hindi ko na ibabalik sa kanya. Weird naman kung manghihingi ako ng sapatos niya nung college kasi ano naman gagawin ko dun?
“You want me to teach you how to play?” he asked.
“Pwede?”
He held my hand and pulled me up with him. Pumunta kami sa gitna nung court. Pina-hawak niya sa akin iyong bola tapos tinuruan akong magdribble. Ang laki naman ng kamay ng tao na ’to kasi kaya niyang hawakan iyong bola ng isang kamay lang! Samantalang ako, stretched na stretched na mga daliri ko!
“Steady,” he said while I was dribbling. “Now, try walking,” he continued. Naglakad ako habang nagdi-drible. “Now, try running,” sinabi niya. Tumakbo ako pero naiwan iyong bola. Nanlaki iyong mga mata ko tapos si Cohen tawa nang tawa.
“You left the ball!” tukso niya.
“Sama ng ugali!” sigaw ko. “Ang hirap kaya!”
Cohen, in fairness, really did try to teach me to dribble and run, pero hindi ko talaga kaya! Paano ba magdribble at tumakbo ng sabay?! ’Di ko kaya gawin sabay both!
And this was the early end of my basketball dream…
“I’ll just teach you how to shoot,” he said instead. Hinawakan niya iyong kamay ko habang naglalakad kami papunta sa free throw line. He held the ball and shoot it with ease. “Hold the ball,” he said, placing the ball in my hands. “Use your wrist,” sabi niya. Pumwesto siya sa likod ko habang inaayos iyong kamay ko. Inalalayan niya ako hanggang sa maibato ko iyong bola.
“Oh, my god!” I shouted dahil pumasok sa basket. “Nakita mo ’yun?!” proud na proud na sabi ko kahit tinulungan naman talaga ako ni Cohen. He was smiling at me. I was jumping with joy and pride. Yes! One point!
Hinayaan ako ni Cohen na magshoot nang magshoot. Siya iyong pumupulot ng bola tapos inaabot niya sa akin. It was already almost dark when I got tired from playing. Sabay kaming naglakad pauwi habang magka-hawak ang kamay.

Epilogue (4 of 5)
“Love, I’m sorry! I can’t leave yet,” I said in my most apologetic tone. I was supposed to have dinner with Cohen for his birthday, but my professor suddenly announced a takehome quiz since he couldn’t meet us… And mamaya na iyong deadline nun. I needed to do it with my classmates dahil medyo mahirap iyong coverage.
I heard the familiar sigh from his end.
“Can I just come there?” he asked.
If it’s not me who bails, it’s him. It’s just… hard. Habang tumatanda kami, dumadami iyong responsibility. Hindi naman pwede na palagi na lang naming uunahin iyong sarili naming gusto. We’re here to study… He’s almost done with his masteral, but I wasn’t there just yet. I needed to hustle more. Mas kailangan kong maging seryoso.
I looked around and saw how busy my classmates were. Nasa ibang block na ako—mas seryoso na sila. Mas naging busy ako, pero mas marami akong natututunan sa kanila. Every time I’d go to class, I needed to come prepared because if not, magmumukha akong tanga. I never thought I’d be competitive in school, but here I was…
University life’s really full of surprises.
“I’ll see you as soon as we’re done, I promise!” pangako ko sa kanya. I looked at my wrist watch that Cohen gave me for my 20thbirthday. Palagi kong suot iyon. It’s like a constant reminder of why I was working this hard. It’s not just about making my family proud—it’s also about making him proud, making me proud. Para naman hindi ako nanliliit sa sarili ko tuwing titignan ko siya tapos titingin ako sa akin. I wanted something that’s mine and I could be proud of.
“Are you sure I can’t swing by? I just want to see you.”
“I can only see you for like ten minutes. Sayang naman—”
“Text me the address.”
Napailing na lang ako. Ang kulit talaga. Almost three years together, hindi pa rin siya nagsasawa na sunduin ako kahit saan man ako magpunta. He’s always telling me that if I needed to go anywhere, he’d always be happy to accompany me. I thought that that’s the reason why he got a car—para samahan ako since marami na akong pinupuntahan ngayon.
I got back to doing the quiz. It’s a combination of modified true or false and lots of essay. Ayaw pa naman ng prof ko na ’yun ng walang basis iyong sagot kaya nagre-research pa ako while answering.
I kept my phone by my side para naman kapag nagtext si Cohen na nandito na siya, mapuntahan ko agad. Ayoko kasi ng pinaghihintay siya kasi alam ko naman iyong klase ng effort na binibigay niya sa ’kin.
“Hey…” I said when I saw him standing outside the dark. He’s wearing suit and tie because we were supposed to have formal dinner… Naka-ayos na rin iyong isusuot ko dapat… Hindi lang talaga natuloy dahil sa quiz na ’to. Sobrang nilu-look forward ko pa naman ’yun.
He immediately pulled me close and enveloped me inside his arms.
“I’ll wait for you,” he said.
I looked up. “Mamaya pa ko matatapos.”
“I’ll keep myself busy.”
I pouted. “Makikita mo naman ako bukas.”
“Haven’t seen you all day today.”
I laughed. “Ang clingy naman po,” I said at saka ko siniksik iyong mukha ko sa dibdib niya. I’d been feeling so stressed the past few days because of all the requirements, but being inside his arms melted my stress away. “Happy birthday, ser!” I greeted with a soft smile. “Ano’ng birthday wish mo?”
I was looking up at him and he was looking down on me. Ang tangkad kasi talaga!
“To see you every day,” he said.
“Nakikita mo naman ako lagi.”
“Not when you’re busy.”
“Ganun talaga—para sa future,” I said, sticking my tongue out.
“When’s that future you’re talking about?” he asked.
I shrugged. “Di ko alam. Bakit ba kasi?” sabi ko ng natatawa kasi ang seryoso naman masyado ng itsura ng tao na ’to.
“Sari,” he said.
“Cohen,” sagot ko na natatawa pa rin.
“My birthday wish is to see you every day.”
I wrinkled my nose. “Pwede naman—”
“Kuya Saint got married when he was 22. I’m 25 already.”
Lumuwag iyong yakap ko sa kanya. I blinked a couple of times. Pakiramdam ko ay biglang nanuyo ang lalamunan ko.
“A-Ano’ng point mo?”
He scratched the back of his neck and looked at me like he was unsure if he’d continue saying what he wanted to say… but at the same time wanted to tell me what he’s been hiding all this time.
“Let’s get married.”
“D-Dahil lang gusto mo akong makita araw-araw?”
“Because I love you.”
I bit my lower lip. “Seryoso ka ba?”
“Do you still love—”
“Parang tanga naman ’to! Malamang!” sigaw ko sa kanya habang nagsisimula ng magluha iyong mga mata ko. Leche talaga ’to si Cohen! Ngayon pa naisipan na sabihin ’to kung kailan may quiz na naghihintay sa ’kin sa loob! “Pero parang tanga naman magpapakasal lang tayo dahil gusto mo kong makita araw-araw?”
“What reason is good enough for you to marry me?” he asked, looking straight into my eyes.
I took a step back from him and started to pace back and forth. Seryoso ba ’tong si Cohen Isaac?! Nakaka-loka! Proposal na ba ’to?! Naka-suit and tie naman kasi siya habang naka-jogger pants at hoodie lang ako! Mukhang tanga!
“Hindi ko alam, okay? San tayo titira? Magpapalit ba ako ng apelido? Paano kapag ’di na ako pinag-aral ni kuya dahil may asawa na ako? Magkakaanak ba agad tayo? Ang daming tanong, ’di ba?!”
I was starting to pull out my hair. I stopped pacing when I noticed that he was just looking at me with that amused expression on his face.
“What?!” I snapped because I was really stressed here!
He took a step closer and cupped my face with his hands. He looked straight into my eyes and smiled.
“We’ll live in your apartment or in mine—I really don’t care as long as I get to see you every day—”
Hinampas ko siya. “Papakasalan mo lang ba ako para makita mo ako araw-araw?!”
He just let me hit his chest while wearing that smile. “I hate letting a day pass by without seeing you, you know that? But you’re always so busy… and I can’t ask you to put me first… If we get married, I’ll get to see you every day. I’ll get to see you first thing when I wake up and before I close my eyes.”
I wiped the tears from my face. “Ang selfish naman ng reason.”
He helped me wipe my tears. “Of course the main reason is that I’m really in love with you, Sariah Mikaella. I can’t see myself with anyone else. You’re the love of my life and I want you as my wife.”
“Nasan singsing?” I asked with tears falling from my eyes.
He pursed my lips. “I’ll get you one tomorrow.”
“Tignan mo ’to! Magpopropose ng walang singsing!”
He smiled. “I didn’t know that I’d be proposing today either,” he said, just letting me hit his chest—my favorite activity. Minsan kinakagat ko rin siya.
“Ano ’to? Trip-trip mo lang? Siraulo ka talaga minsan,” sabi ko sa kanya. Minsan sinasabi niya sa akin na kakain lang kami ng breakfast tapos magugulat ako nagcacamping na kami. Mga trip nitong lalaki na ’to, e.
“Well, while I was waiting for you—”
“Sorry na nga!”
“It’s fine,” he said. “But while I was waiting, I thought that if I were your husband, then no matter how busy you get, at the end of the day, you’ll still come home to me… Is that okay?” he asked. “If it’s not—”
“Okay nga lang!” sabi ko kasi baka magbago pa iyong isip.
’Di naman ako magdedeny, iniisip ko na rin minsan kung magpopropose si Cohen kasi 3 years na rin kaya kami! Tapos never pa kami nag-away dahil sa third party kasi pareho naman kaming walang pakielam sa iba. Pinaka-problema namin na hindi kami nagkikita minsan kapag busy…
Gusto ko rin naman siyang makita araw-araw kaya lang hindi pwede kasi nasa magkaibang apartment pa rin kami. I never tried sleeping over at his place because I didn’t want to break my family’s trust. Pinayagan na nga akong pumunta dun, ayoko namang umabuso.
He bit his lower lip, but a smile still appeared on his face. “Really?”
I nodded. “Really! Singsing muna!”
“Tomorrow, I promise.”
“Bukas ka na ulit magpropose kapag may singsing.”
“Sari—”
“I don’t make the rules,” I said, tapping his cheek.
“But… are you my fiancée now?” he asked.
I showed him my hands. “May nakikita ka bang singsing? Wala—”
He looked at his watch. It’s only 5:30pm. “Just wait for me,” he said.
“Saan ka—” Pero hindi ko na naituloy iyong sasabihin ko dahil mabilis ko siyang nakita na sumakay sa sasakyan niya. Bibili ba siya ng singsing ngayon? As in seriously?! Nagpaalam man lang ba siya sa magulang niya?! Sa nanay at tatay Preston ko?!
Ang biglaan naman nito?!
My hands were shaking as I tried to continue answering my stupid quiz. Sobrang nahihiya ako pero hindi na talaga ako makapagconcentrate kaya nanghingi na ako ng support sa mabait kong classmate na sinendan naman ako ng link ng source kaya mas naging madali iyong pagsasagot ko.
’Tong si Cohen talaga! Mga maisipan!
I kept on glancing at my phone, waiting for him to text, but natapos na ako sa ginagawa ko, hindi pa rin siya nagtetext. Sasakalin ko talaga ’yung leche na ’yun! Ang pa-yummy!
I kept on cursing him hanggang sa pauwi ako dahil hindi sumasagot sa text tapos hindi available para tawagan. Siraulo talaga! Susuntukin ko ’yun kapag nakita ko! Ang kapal magpabitin—
Agad na nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makita ko na naka-upo siya sa sahig at nagpapa-lobo ng silver na balloons. His eyes were wide as if he was caught doing something he shouldn’t be doing.
“Love—” he said, standing up, his unfinished balloon still in his hand. I looked around and saw a few balloons already floating up to my ceiling. Nandun din iyong paborito kong bulaklak… and petals scattered around the floor.
“This… is really serious,” I uttered when I realized that this was really happening.
“I wasn’t done preparing,” he said.
I looked at him and as if on cue, tears began to form on my eyes. Seriously, Cohen! Bakit—
“Let’s get married,” I said.
“Wait, I haven’t proposed yet,” he said, showing me a navy blue velvet box.
“Hindi na kailangan.”
“But I ran around in panic just to buy this!” reklamo niya.
“Papakasalan ka na nga, e! Nagrereklamo ka pa?!”
“Just let me, okay?” he said as he dropped down on his knee.
“Wait,” I said.
“What?” he asked.
Tumakbo ako papunta sa gilid tapos nilagay ko iyong phone ko roon. “Move ka sa right,” sabi ko kay Cohen. “Bilis na!” utos ko sa kanya kaya wala siyang nagawa kaya tumayo muna siya at pumwesto para sakto sa camera. Nang masigurado ko na marerecord lahat, bumalik ako sa pwesto ko.
“Game na!” I said.
He laughed. “You’re really crazy.”
“You’re marrying this crazy.”
“Right,” he said, dropping on his knee again. “Sariah Mikaella…” he began.
“Yes, Cohen Isaac?”
Pinipigilan niyang matawa kaya pinanlakihan ko siya ng mata. Serious kasi! Parang tanga!
“I don’t even know what to say anymore because I’m sure that every day, I tell you how much I love you and how you mean the world to me,” he began and wala na… Umiyak na ako kasi totoo. Palagi niyang sinasabi na mahal niya ako at pinapakita niya rin. Kaya hindi talaga ako gumagawa ng kahit ano na pag-aawayan namin… Kasi ganoon ko siya kamahal. Kasi hindi niya deserve na saktan ko…
“But I want you to know that from the moment I decided that you’re the love of my life, I knew then that it’s only a matter of right timing before I ask you to marry me.”
“Teka… alam ba ’to nila Mama?”
He nodded. “Yeah… I asked them last year.”
“Last year?!”
He nodded again. “Didn’t say that I’d propose already… but that soon , I might,” he said. “But please let me finish first, okay, Love?”
Tumango ako at kinalma ang sarili ko. God… this was really happening!
“So… Sariah Mikaella Miranda, will you allow me to legally make you Mrs. Gomez de Liaño?”
I bit my lower lip as tears began to fall. “Walangya ka talaga… Gusto mong ma-ban na rin ako sa bahay ni kuya?”
He laughed. “It’s okay. You’ll be more than welcomed in GDL’s residence.”
“Paano… kapag gusto kong Miranda pa rin apelido ko?”
“It’s okay. As long as you’re my wife, I don’t mind what your last name is.”
“Paano kung gusto kong ikaw magpalit ng apelido?”
“That’s… something we need to discuss.”
“Ayaw mo?”
“Can you please wear this ring first before we discuss who’s changing last names?” he asked.
Inirapan ko nga tapos nilahad ko iyong kamay ko at isinuot niya iyong singsing. He stood up and smiled at me.
“Masaya ka na?” tanong ko habang suot ko iyong singsing.
He nodded. “I love you.”
“Saan tayo magpapakasal?” I asked, admiring the ring he got me. It wasn’t that big… but I love it because he’s the one who gave me this. I’d forever treasure this with my life.
Instead of answering, he cupped my face and kissed my lips. He kissed me hard and kissed me good. He kissed me until I couldn’t breathe again.
“When can you go home?” he asked.
“Next year pa,” I said, frowning.
“Okay… but I really want to get married already so we can live together.”
“Yan lang talaga habol mo, no?” tanong ko habang pinaningkitan siya ng mga mata.
He laughed. “Kinda… but I love you, okay?”
I looked at the time and looked at Cohen and said, “Okay, birthday boy, let’s make your wish come true.”
#HeyCohen5of5
Epilogue (5 of 5)
“Good morning,” Cohen whispered in my ear as I felt him tightening his hold around my waist. Pilit kong idinilat iyong mga mata ko at nanlaki iyon nang makita ko kung anong oras na. Mabilis akong tumayo at tumakbo papunta sa CR para maligo at mag-ayos. Lagot na! Male-late ako sa quiz namin! Si Cohen kasi ang kulit! Sabi ng kailangan kong matulog ng maaga! Ako naman si utu-uto, isang ngiti lang pumayag agad!
I could feel Cohen’s eyes on me as I ran around our apartment trying to find my bag and my laptop kasi may kailangan pa akong iprint.
“Yung laptop ko!” I shouted kasi nase-stress na talaga ako. Hindi ako pwedeng bumagsak kasi ayokong madelay. Gusto ko na rin kayang grumaduate para kapag sinabi na namin sa Pilipinas na kasal na kami, wala akong maririnig na pagtutol. Sobrang naiimagine ko na kaya iyong mukha ni Kuya! Kinikilabutan talaga ako!
“I’ll find your laptop, love. Eat breakfast first.”
“May kailangan akong—”
“I know,” he said, interrupting me. “I know the file you need to print. Eat your breakfast first. I got this, okay?”
I pouted as I looked at him. “Okay…” sabi ko. “Hindi mo kasi ako ginising!”
He laughed. “We’re both tired, okay?” he said that made me blush. “Just eat your breakfast. I’ll print it and hand it to you so you can check, okay?”
Tumango na lang ako kasi wala na akong magagawa. Cohen was right though—mas lalo nga lang talaga akong naging busy. I couldn’t imagine kung paano kami magkikita kung hindi kami nagpunta sa Las Vegas dalawa at biglaang nagpakasal. At least now, we see each other literally everyday…
And it’s been the best two months of my life thus far.
At night, kapag umuuwi ako, siya agad iyong naaabutan ko. Whatever he’s doing, kapag bumukas ang pinto at nakita niya ako, he’d stand up and welcome me with a hug… and that reminded me that I’m finally home. And then we’d spend the night doing our papers and requirements and sleep in each other’s arms.
Seriously freaking perfect.
I just made two sandwiches—one for me and my husband. Lihim pa rin akong napa-ngiti tuwing naaalala ko na hindi ko na nga pala boyfriend si Cohen. He’s really my freaking husband! Pinakasalan nga ako ng baliw na ’to! Akala niya, ha!
“Mr. Miranda, breakfast mo,” I called. He frowned. Sabi ko kasi sa kanya na hindi ako magpapalit ng last name. Bukod sa ito na lang ’yung reminder ko sa Papa ko, feel ko ‘loyalty’ kay Kuya. Nakakaawa naman kasi ’yung tao! Alam mo ’yung ang laki ng galit niya sa mga GDL pero napangasawa ng kapatid niya, GDL. Asawa ko, GDL. Pati si Finley, malapit na yatang magpapalit ng apelido. Napapaligiran na talaga si Preston Suarez.
He slid over the papers he printed. Nice. Alam niya kung ano ’yung tamang file na ipiprint, ah! I should give Cohen more credit for always paying attention. Sometimes, it felt like I didn’t need to tell him kasi alam niya na kung ano ang gagawin. That’s how attuned and attentive he was to me.
“I’ll be home late,” he said, eating the sandwich I made.
“Okay,” I said. “Hintayin kita?”
“Yes, please? I’ll try to come home before 10.”
“San ka ba pupunta?” I asked.
“Dinner with my adviser.”
“Si Dr. Smithson?” He nodded. “Di ba favorite ka nun?” tukso ko sa kanya kasi napansin ko nung once na sinama ako ni Cohen sa shindig, siya iyong binibida ng adviser niya sa mga friends nito.
“We’re gonna have dinner with other people, okay?” sabi niya na medyo naiinis. Pikon naman nito! Tanggap ko naman na kahit dito sa Canada, maraming may crush sa kanya. Hindi naman ako threatened dahil ang laki kaya ng tiwala ko sa lalaki na ’to. At takot niya lang kay Kuya kapag niloko niya ko!
I stuck my tongue out at him and then grabbed my mildly hot cup of coffee and quickly downed it. Then I brushed my teeth and grabbed my bag.
“Bye, love,” I said, planting a kiss on his lips. “Text me kita later if may time ako sabay tayo maglunch, okay?” sabi ko bago tumakbo palabas.
Pagdating ko sa room, lumabas lahat ng stress ko dahil sa quiz na binigay sa amin. Feel ko naman naka-sagot ako pero hindi sobrang confident. But I didn’t even have time to wallow on that dahil pagkatapos ng quiz, ang daming mga sumunod na nangyari kaya nagtext na ako kay Cohen na hihintayin ko na lang siya mamayang gabi dahil wala na akong time makipagkita sa kanya sa lunch.
Sobrang thankful talaga ako na sa iisang apartment na kami umuuwi. Nakaka-wala ng pagod kapag nakikita ko siya matapos ang isang mahabang araw.
Nag-aaya iyong mga classmate ko na pumunta sa bar para magchill but Cohen’s seriously all the chill I needed kaya naman nagpass ako at dumiretso sa apartment. Pagdating ko roon, binaba ko lang iyong gamit ko sa couch tapos dumiretso sa kwarto. I changed into one of his—I mean our shirts. I called conjugal property on all his shirts. Ang sarap kaya isuot!
I took a quick nap dahil feel ko medyo gagabihin si Cohen at gusto ko siyang hintayin mamaya kasi kapag ako iyong ginagabi, hinihintay niya talaga ako. But my sleep was disturbed by someone knocking on the door. I was still groggy from the sleep kaya naman tumayo ako at wala sa loob na binuksan iyong pintuan.
“Future sis in law?”
Agad na nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang ma-realize ko kung sino iyong nasa harapan ko. Shit! Mother freaking shit! Mabilis kong isinara sa mukha niya iyong pinto at saka tumakbo pabalik sa kwarto para magsuot ng pajama! Naka-boyleg lang kasi ako kanina kasi ang haba ng shirt ni Cohen sa akin! My god! Sari! Wala pang nakakaalam na kasal kayo kaya bakit ka ba bukas nang bukas ng pinto?!
I was pacing back and forth, trying to call Cohen’s phone but he wasn’t responding. Gods! Pwede bang itaboy ko muna si Kuya Psalm hanggang sa bumalik ang kapatid niya dito kasi hindi ko talaga alam kung paano ko sasagutin iyong mga magiging tanong niya?!
“Okay, calm down,” I told myself as I combed my messy hair with my fingers. “Sooner or later, they’d know… Wrong timing lang talaga si Kuya Psalm.”
Ilang ulit pa akong huminga nang malalim bago ko binuksan iyong pinto. Kuya Psalm was standing there with a confused look on his face.
“Hi, Kuya,” I said with probably my most awkward smile yet.
“This… is Cohen’s apartment, right?” he asked and I was almost tempted to say that now, it’s our apartment. Nasaan ba kasi ’yang asawa ko?!
“Yes, Kuya… Nasa labas pa si Cohen.”
“Okay…” he said, looking at me still. “Can I come in? I need to use the bathroom.”
“Oka—” sabi ko pero natigilan ako. Kapag pumasok siya, malalaman niya na talaga na dito ako naka-tira dahil nandito na iyong mga gamit ko! Hinding-hindi talaga kayang i-deny na dito ako naka-tira! Mas marami pa akong gamit sa CR kaysa kay Cohen, e!
“May CR sa first floor, Kuya,” I said, pertaining to the common CR sa lobby.
“What are you hiding?” he asked, looking at me with that sly smile.
“W-Wala, ah… Makalat kasi sa loob.”
“I don’t believe you. Cohen’s not a slob—Saint’s the only dirty person I know. What’s happening?”
“A-Ako ’yung nagkalat, Kuya. Sa baba ka na lang magCR, please?”
I knew that by then he was already certain that something’s definitely up, but he just decided not to push it… now. But knowing Kuya Psalm? Sigurado ako na hindi ’to aalis ng Canada na hindi nalalaman kung ano talaga ang nangyari.
Nang maisara ko ang pinto, kumuha ako ng luggage at shinoot doon lahat ng makita ko na gamit ko. I didn’t know why I even bothered?! Sasabihin na ba namin? But I promised that my family would be the first to know—lalo na si Mama! Nagpakasal lang talaga kami ni Cohen sa Vegas para hindi naman awkward na naka-tira kami sa isang bahay dahil lang trip namin. Sobrang religious kaya ng taong ’yun. Sa Pilipinas pa rin kami magpapakasal ng totoo kasi kawawa naman si Mama na dalawang anak niyang babae sa Vegas nagpakasal. Gustung-gusto pa naman maggown nun.
I was in the middle of panicking when I saw my phone light up. Halos madapa ako nung tumakbo ako para kunin iyon.
“Why?” he asked.
“Nandito kapatid mo! Nase-stress ako!”
“Who?”
“Kuya Psalm!”
“Shit,” I heard him utter. See?! I bet kung si Kuya Austin o Kuya Saint ang nandito, hindi ganito ang magiging reaction niya. Baka nga by now nabalita na ni Kuya Psalm sa Pilipinas iyong nakita niya, e! Stressed na talaga ako! “I’m on my way.”
“Yung dinner?”
“I’ll just make an excuse. I’m on my way. Wait for me, love,” he said before ending the call. Ako naman si tanga shinoot pa rin lahat ng gamit sa luggage kahit sobrang useless.
It only took Cohen twenty minutes. I heard another batch of knocking on the door. Sumilip na ako sa peephole—na bakit ba hindi ko ginawa kanina?!
Humugot ulit ako ng malalim na hininga nang makita ko si Cohen kasama si Kuya Psalm.
“NakapagCR ka na, Kuya?” I asked with an uneasy smile.
Kuya Psalm was just smiling at me as he nodded. Nang pumasok siya, tumingin siya sa paligid na para bang may hinahanap pero lahat ng hinahanap niya, nasa luggage ko na… ’Wag lang sana siyang pumasok sa kwarto namin ni Cohen dahil patay na talaga.
“We’ll tell you what’s happening only if you promise to keep quiet,” Cohen said.
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. “Cohen!” I hissed.
“It’s over, love,” he said.
“Love?” Kuya Psalm asked, fighting a laugh. “Okay, okay… I promise I’ll be quiet. What’s happening here?”
Cohen looked at me and held my hand. Para kaming dalawang bata na nahuli na naka-tayo sa harap ng magulang nila… Gods, kay Kuya Psalm palang ito! Paano pa kapag kay Kuya Preston? Mamamatay na talaga ako nun siguro!
“We got married,” Cohen said.
“The hell? Seriously?” Kuya Psalm asked.
We both nodded.
“Fuck,” Kuya Psalm said, combing his fingers through his broccoli hair. “I thought… I thought you’d say that you two are living together or what. I don’t judge, you know? Whatever works for you two… But you two are married?”
Tumango kami ulit.
“Since when?”
“Two months ago.”
“Wait… When Mom asked you to come home for their wedding anniv… You said you can’t go because there’s this really important thing…”
“Yeah. Our honeymoon,” Cohen replied.
“Too much information!” sabi ko sa kanya.
“Honesty is the best policy, love,” Cohen replied.
I can’t! I really can’t with him!
“Okay…” Kuya Psalm whispered. “Shit… I really should get married.”
What?
“You should propose,” Cohen said.
May… girlfriend si Kuya Psalm? Since when? Bakit hindi ako updated?!
“Maybe… I don’t know…” Kuya Psalm said.
And just like that, the issue was diverted elsewhere. Crisis averted.
Kuya Psalm stayed in Canada for only a few days. These GDLs and their traveling. I really can’t with these rich boys. Apparently, may girlfriend siya na doctor—akalain mo ’yun?! Ex niya na pala ’yun na jowa niya na ulit ngayon. I guess she’s like his TOTGA. Kaya siguro single si Kuya dati kasi hinihintay niya iyong doctor.
“Sure ka hindi natin ihahatid sa airport?” I asked Cohen.
“He’s fine,” he said while cooking our lunch.
“Sure ka na hindi niya ichichismis na kasal na tayo?”
“Yes,” he replied. “He’s got other problems.”
“Iyong doctor?”
“Yeah.”
“Sino ’yun? Bakit hindi ko kilala? Kwento mo naman! Share naman d’yan!”
Cohen laughed. “Okay… but don’t tell him I told you this, okay?”
I nodded. “Promise, Love! Kwento mo na!”
So, Cohen told me about his brother’s love story… Kinda complicated, if you ask me. O baka kasi nasanay lang ako sa love story namin na ang dali lang kasi pareho kaming marupok ni Cohen. O iyong kila Kuya Saint at Ate Mary na ang bilis din nagpakasal… O kaya Kuya Austin at kay Ate Karma.
We just talked about his brothers’ love lives habang kumakain kami. Hanggang sa tumambay kami sa couch habang magkatabi hanggang sa mahiga na kami sa kama.
Seriously how I wanted the rest of my life to be.
The days passed by faster than usual. Before I even knew it, we’re already boarding for our flight home.
“Pagdating, hiwalay muna tayo umuwi,” I said.
“Why?” he asked.
“Kausapin ko muna sila Ate. Kailangan ko ng moral support bago sabihin kay Kuya… Saka ikaw, kausapin mo parents mo lalo na lola mo? We’ll never know kung ano magiging trip ni Kuya.”
He laughed. “Love, we’ve been together for more than 3 years. Of course they’re expecting this. It won’t be a complete surprise.”
“Kahit na,” I replied. “Alam mo naman pabago-bago mood ni Kuya depende sa panahon.”
“How about we go to Kuya Preston’s house and we talk to them then we’ll invite everyone for dinner and we’ll make an announcement there?”
I looked at him. ’Di ko yata keri iyong ganyang malaking announcement. Na-se-stress na agad ako.
“Or…” I said. “Let’s just tell them we’re engaged and dito na lang tayo magpakasal? Para everybody happy.”
“I don’t wanna lie.”
“White lie naman, Love.”
“Still a lie.”
“E papagalitan tayo?”
“We’re adults. We can handle that.”
I pouted at him through the entire ride, but he’s adamant na sasabihin na namin na kasal kami pagdating namin. Ka-stress naman ’tong si Mr. Miranda!
Pagdating namin sa Pilipinas, halos manginig ang buong katawan ko sa sobrang kaba! Cohen was laughing at me dahil hindi naman siya kinakabahan. Palibasa wala siyang Kuya Preston!
“Mommy mo?” tanong ko kay John na kumunot ang noo nang makita ako. Napailing na lang ako dahil Science book pa rin binabasa ng batang ’to.
“Garden,” he simply replied.
“Wala man lang akong hug?!” sabi ko sa kanya.
He sighed and then stood up to hug me. Napaka-suplado naman nitong pamangkin ko! ’Di man lang nagmana ng charms ng mga Miranda at puro ka-supladuhan ng mga Suarez ang namana!
“Daddy mo?” I asked.
“Out.”
“K.”
Ang sunget!
Dumiretso ako sa garden at nakita ko roon sila Ate, Mama, at Tita na nagchichismisan. Iyong iba kong pamangkin ay nasa pool at mukhang mga bibeng lumulutang doon. Ganito lang yata talaga ginagawa ng mga ’to. Palibasa no need to work na dahil kay Kuya Preston.
“Surprise!” sigaw ko kaya napa-tingin silang lahat sa akin.
“Sari!” sigaw ni Mama at saka tumakbo mabilis para yakapin ako. Pinagalitan ako nila dahil bakit daw hindi ako nagsabi na ngayon ako dadating. Kaya nga surprise, e? May surprise ba na sinasabi?
Mabilis na nagpahanda ng lunch sila Mama kahit meryenda na. Kahit gustung-gusto ko iyong ulam ay hindi ako makakain sa sobrang kaba.
“Ma…” I trailed off. Naka-tingin sila sa aking lahat. I looked at Cohen to get strength para masabi ko ang dapat sabihin. “Sorry, Ma…”
Biglang kumalat ang kaba sa mukha ni Mama.
“May sakit ka ba?” she asked, her voice broke a bit. “Sariah Mikaella!” sigaw niya nang hindi ako maka-sagot.
“Tita, we’re married,” Cohen said.
“Ano—”
“What?!”
Lahat kami ay napa-tingin sa gilid namin at nakita namin doon si Kuya Preston na naka-tayo at nanlalaki ang mga mata. Buhat-buhat niya ang isa sa mga triplets na hindi ko kilala kung sino kasi bakit magkaka-mukha talaga sila?!
“Buntis ka ba?!” Kuya Preston asked.
“Hin—”
“Ikaw, sabi ko sa ’yo hintayin mo munang grumaduate!” sabi niya habang naka-turo kay Cohen.
“Sorry, Kuya—”
“Sumasakit ulo ko sa inyong dalawa!” Kuya Preston said. “Alam ba ’to ng lola mo?! Mamaya si Sari na naman awayin.”
I bit my lower lip. Bwisit talaga ’tong si Kuya. Ang epal pero ang caring.
I looked at Ate for help. Agad siyang tumayo tapos kinuha iyong si—si Cooper ba ’yun o si Gali?! O si Pascal?! At bakit ba kasi pinayagan ni Kuya na si Ate ang magpangalan sa triplets?!
“Hindi siya buntis…” Ate said, looking at my stomach.
“Hindi ako buntis!” I shouted and looked at Cohen.
“Yes… I think so,” Cohen said.
“Ano’ng I think so?! May possibility?!” Kuya shouted.
Mukhang puputok na iyong ugat sa noo ni Kuya kaya napilitan na si Mama na tumayo at pumagitna sa amin. Katabi ko si Cohen na mukhang kalmado habang katabi naman ni Ate si Kuya na mukhang aatakihin na sa puso dahil sa akin.
“Preston, anak, matanda na iyang dalawa na ’yan… Hindi na bata si Sari. Hindi na ’yan 14 years old kagaya nung una mong nakilala,” she said and I kept on nodding in approval. “At kayo namang dalawa, ni hindi niyo man lang naisipan na magsabi.”
“Kaya nga nagsasabi ngayon…” sagot ko kaya lang piningot ako ni Mama. Tumingin ako kay Kuya na pinapa-hinga ni Ate nang malalim. “Kuya…” tawag ko sa kanya. “Don’t worry, Miranda pa rin ang apelido ko. Hinding-hindi ako magiging GDL, promise ko ’yan.”
Nakita ko si Cohen sa tabi ko na napailing na lang. Akala niya, ha! Kahit ano’ng ganda ng apelido niya, ’di niya kayang kunin ang loyalty ko mula kay Kuya!
Hindi pa man kami nakaka-alis, nagpaplano na sila Ate ng kasal namin ni Cohen. Nase-stress na agad ako. Wala naman akong balak magpakasal nung sosyal talaga kasi okay na nga ako dun sa Vegas namin… pero gusto kasing magsuot ng gown ni Mama kaya pagbigyan na.
Papunta na kami sa bahay naman nila Cohen para doon naman magsabi. Pinahatid kami ni Kuya at saka nagbilin pa na kung nandun ’yung lola ni Cohen at may sinabing hindi maganda sa akin, sabihin ko raw agad sa kanya. Baliw talaga.
“I’m already so tired,” sabi ko sa kanya habang naka-sandal sa braso niya. Wala pa kaming isang araw sa Pilipinas pero parang sobrang dami ng nangyari.
“I know…” he said, brushing my hair. “After this, we’ll sleep.”
“San tayo matutulog?” I asked.
“Where do you want to sleep?” he asked.
“Gusto ko kila Kuya kaya lang kawawa ka naman… Ang weird naman kung sa inyo… Sayang naman pera kung sa hotel…” sagot ko. “Sa kalsada na lang tayo matulog.”
Cohen laughed. “Let’s just check-in.”
“Feel ko ’di tayo papayagan ni Kuya.”
“Yeah… Probably.”
“Wag na tayong matulog.”
“Let’s just stay at Kuya Preston’s.”
“Okay lang sa ’yo?”
“Yeah.”
“Susungitan ka nun.”
“Already used to it.”
“Okay, sabi mo ’yan, e,” I said before I closed my eyes and tried to get some sleep. Pero bago pa man maging kumportable ang tulog ko, naramdaman ko na huminto na naman iyong sasakyan at nandito na kami sa bahay nila Cohen. Huminga ako nang malalim. God, gusto ko na matapos ang araw na ’to.
“Ready?” Cohen asked before he opened the door. I just looked at him and hoped for the best.
Pagpasok namin sa loob, naka-rinig na agad ako ng mga pamilyar na boses. I looked at Cohen and he said that he texted Kuya Psalm to tell his brothers to come over. Pagdating namin sa dining area, nagulat ako dahil kumpleto sila doon… As in pati si Ate Maggie na sa pictures ko lang nakikita ay nandoon—and ang ganda niya legit! Alam kong maganda siya pero… oh my god! Akala ko si Ate Mary na iyong pinaka-maganda… Pero Ate Mary’s beautiful in an apparition kind of way… Itong si Ate Maggie, iyong ganda na pang super model talaga.
Kapag nagka-anak ba kami ni Cohen may chance na kasing ganda niya?! Magkakaroon ba ako ng anak na artista?!
“Cohen!” Tita Anna said in pleasant surprise nang makita ang favorite niyang anak. I looked at Kuya Psalm and he was grinning at me… Palibasa ngayon lang nangyari na siya ang unang nakaalam! Usually kasi siya pinaka-huli dahil madaldal.
“Baby!” Ate Maggie followed and they both squeezed Cohen in a hug. Sobrang awkward dahil yakap nila si Cohen parehas habang hawak pa rin ni Cohen ang kamay ko.
Pinagalitan sandali si Cohen dahil hindi raw nagsabi ng uuwi. Naka-tingin naman sa akin si Ate Maggie.
“Hi po,” I politely greeted.
“Hello,” she replied.
“So, you’re Cohen’s girlfriend,” Ate Maggie said and I heard Kuya Psalm snort. Kulit talaga!
Tahimik lang ako habang nag-usap iyong mga GDL—kasama na ba ako sa kanila?! Pero hindi naman GDL ang last name ko… Pero asawa ko si Cohen?! Gulo naman!
After a while, pinaupo na kaming dalawa. Marami namang space dahil ang haba ng table nila… Sabagay, madalas din pumupunta daw dito iyong ibang relatives nila. Iyong mga second cousin nila Cohen sa de Marco side.
Shet. Never ko naisip na mapapasok ako sa political family?!
“I thought you’d come here next month pa?” Kuya Psalm asked… Hindi ko alam if tinutulungan niya kami na mag-open o pasaway lang talaga siya!
Nagka-tinginan kami ni Cohen. Okay. Game. The worst part’s already over… Kung kinaya namin si Kuya, kayang-kaya namin ’to.
“We’re married,” Cohen said sabay taas sa magka-hawak naming kamay. Pina-kita niya iyong singsing sa kamay ko. I bit my lower lip as I awaited their reaction. Shucks! Ang hassle! Dapat talaga umuwi muna kami at dito na nagpakasal! ’Di ko naman akalain na sobrang stressful nito! Para kaming naka-patay sa level ng kaba namin, ah!
“What?!” Tita Anna and Ate Maggie reacted.
“Why aren’t we informed?” Tito Bert asked with a disappointed look on his face.
“Nice!” Kuya Saint said.
“Congrats,” Kuya Austin said.
“I’m the first one to know!” announced ni Kuya Psalm.
Napa-tingin tuloy silang lahat kay Kuya Psalm. Ang kulit naman kasi talaga! Ngayon lang ba talaga siya nauna sa balita kaya ganito na kailangan niyang iannounce?
Dahil kay Kuya Psalm, ang dami tuloy biglang tanong sa amin na kung kailan pa kami kasal at tinanong din kung buntis ba ako? Seriously, mukha ba akong buntis? Ang payat ko kaya! Paanong ’di ako papayat e lagi akong hinahatak ni Cohen para umakyat at maglakad kung saan-saan!
Maya-maya, hinatak si Cohen ng mga kapatid niya at ni Tito—well, Dad— papunta sa kung saan. Naiwan tuloy ako kasama iyong dalawang nanay ni Cohen…
I looked at them as I felt my heart beating wildly inside my chest. Sobrang intimidating talaga. Ilang beses ko na nakita si Tita Anna pero kinakabahan pa rin ako… Lalo pa ’to si Ate Maggie… Minsan kapag naririnig kong kausap siya ni Cohen, sobrang lambing pero halata na sobrang protective din…
“So…” Ate Maggie said, her eyebrow raised.
“Sorry po ’di namin agad nasabi,” sabi ko agad kasi ayoko na magalit sila sa ’kin. Alam ko na sobrang importante nilang dalawa kay Cohen kaya gusto ko okay din kami. Nase-stress na nga ako kay Kuya at Cohen, ayoko naman na si Cohen naman ma-stress kapag hindi kami okay ng Mama at Ate niya.
“Don’t scare her,” Tita Anna said. “Have you told your family about this?” she asked, looking at me with a smile on her face.
Tumango ako. “Yes po… Kanina, dun muna kami bago pumunta dito…”
“Preston’s okay with this?” Tita Anna asked. My God. Pati si Tita Anna concerned sa approval ni Kuya? Ganoon ba talaga siya kayaman at powerful?! Tapos niloloko-loko ko lang?!
Tumango ulit ako. “Yes po… Pero gusto po nila magpakasal ulit daw kami sa simbahan dito as soon as possible.”
“Of course!” Tita Anna said.
“Even though you married my baby in secret, you’ll be forgiven as long as you’ll allow me to arrange this wedding,” Ate Maggie said, looking at me with those perfectly arched brows of her. Ang ganda talaga?!
“Siobhan Margarette,” tawag ni Tita Anna.
“I just wanna help! I’m bored! Jasper’s not letting me do anything.”
“Because you’re pregnant,” Tita Anna said.
Gods… So many babies… Parang gusto ko na dito na lang kami ni Cohen sa Pilipinas tapos mag-aalaga na lang ako ng mga pamangkin naming dalawa.
“I’m pregnant, not dying,” Ate Maggie said as she held my arm. “What kind of gown do you want? Do you want off the rack or do you have any preferred designer?” she began to ask me. Tita Anna just smiled at me apologetically dahil biglang nalunod na ako sa dami ng mga tanong ni Ate Maggie sa akin.
That first day back in Manila was brutal. After akong hatakin ni Ate Maggie, hindi ko na nakita si Cohen dahil apparently, kinidnap siya ng mga kapatid niya. Nagkita kami kinabukasan na. Hindi rin ako naka-alis kasi sobrang daming tanong ni Ate Maggie na kinabahan na nga ako kasi si Ate din sabi niya tutulong siya.
Dalawa na tatay ko.
Dalawa na nanay ko.
Dalawa na ate ko.
Sobrang dami ko ng kuya.
Ang… perfect.
“Love…”
Napa-tingin ako sa gilid ko nang marinig ko ang boses ni Cohen. Nandito ako sa bahay nila ngayon dahil dadating daw iyong isang friend na designer ni Ate Maggie para pakitaan ako ng designs kasi baka may magustuhan daw ako na ready na para mas mabilis. Si Kuya naman nagdemand na magpatahi daw ako. Show off talaga sa pera, e. Palibasa bata pa mga anak at matagal pa ikakasal.
“Ano’ng nangyari sa ’yo?” tanong ko na natatawa dahil mukhang pagod na pagod siya. Imbes na sumagot agad, dumiretso si Cohen sa tabi ko at saka niyakap ako. Kumunot ang noo ko. “Uminom ka?” I asked dahil amoy alak siya.
“Yeah… They forced me to drink.”
Natawa ako. “Uminom kayo kagabi?”
He nodded. “Then we tried to go to a strip club but we didn’t even stay for a minute,” he said.
Tumawa ulit ako. “Bakit naman?”
“Well, I remembered you. Kuya Saint remembered Ate Mary. Kuya Psalm remembered Ate Joey. Kuya Austin remembered Ate Karma… So, we were out of there immediately.”
Mas lalo akong natawa… Itong magkakapatid na ’to talaga.
Nagkwento si Cohen na uminom na lang daw sila tapos nagbasketball hanggang mag-umaga. ’Di talaga sila nagsasawang magbasketball.
Pero hindi na natapos pa ni Cohen iyong kwento dahil naka-tulog na siya habang naka-sandal sa balikat ko. I just let him sleep dahil mukhang pagod na pagod na ’tong lalaki na ’to. Biruin mo kakagaling lang namin sa Canada tapos kung anu-ano na pinagawa sa kanya ng mga kapatid niya? Kawawa naman si soft boy.
“Sari—”
Tatayo dapat ako nang makita ko si Ate Maggie kasi medyo takot pa rin ako sa kanya. Pero nang makita niya si Cohen na natutulog sa balikat ko, she motioned me to stay put.
She smiled at me. “I’ll be in my room, okay? Just knock on my door when you’re ready,” she said. Aalis na sana siya pero huminto siya tapos humarap ulit sa ’kin. “And Sari,” she said with such a lovely smile. “Welcome to the family.”
It was probably the longest one week of my life. Walang araw na may pahinga ako dahil sa dami ng pinapagawa sa akin at tinatanong. Sa bahay ako nila Kuya natulog habang si Cohen naman sa kanila. Kasal na kami pero sige kung saan sila masaya. I was just happy that both families were united in making this wedding happen. Pati nga si Kuya shut up lang, e… Basta daw hindi magiging GDL ang last name ko.
“I’m so tired,” sabi ko kay Cohen habang magka-usap kami sa FaceTime.
“Me, too,” he replied. “But it’s gonna be over tomorrow.”
“Kinakabahan ako. Nandun buong family mo?”
“Yeah… But they’ll behave.”
“Dapat siguro grumaduate muna ako ng college, no?” I asked. Baka sabihin naman ng lola niya ni hindi man lang ako tumapos ng college bago nagpakasal sa apo niya!
“You’re thinking too much,” he said. “Tomorrow’s just a formality. You’re already my wife… legally and physically,” he continued, wiggling his brows. Ang weird lang na ako ’yung laging tumutukso sa kanya dati pero nung nagkatotoo, gusto ko na lang tapalan bibig niya palagi kapag nanunukso siya.
“Tahimik nga! Epal nito!” sabi ko kaya tumawa siya.
Cohen just laughed and tried to pacify by me telling me the most random of things until I fell asleep.
“Good morning?” bati ko kay Kuya nang siya lang madatnan ko sa dining room. “Sila Ate?”
“Church na.”
“Ang aga pa?” sabi ko sabay upo at abot ng tinapay dahil gutom na agad ako. Tahimik akong kumakain pero napatigil ako nang maramdaman ko na naka-tingin sa akin si Kuya. “Kung may balak kang sumigaw ng ‘Itigil ang kasal,’ ngayon mo na gawin, Kuya. ’Wag ka mag-eskandalo mamaya.”
Pero serious lang ang mukha ni Preston Suarez! Ano kaya ang problema nitong si Kuya?
“Di ka ba talaga buntis?” he seriously asked kaya nabulunan ako nung kinakain kong tinapay. Ni hindi man lang ako inabutan ng tubig! Grabe talaga!
“Hindi nga!” I replied after I downed a glass of water. “Hindi ako buntis, Kuya, promise!” sabi ko sabay taas ng kamay.
“Bakit ’di niyo muna hinintay na grumaduate ka?” he asked seriously.
Sumeryoso ako ng upo dahil parang ang serious ni Kuya. Huminga ako nang malalim, biglang kinabahan dahil minsan lang naman maging ganito si Kuya… Hindi rin kami nakapag-usap nang maayos simula nung umuwi ako dahil sa dami agad ng mga nangyari.
“Disappointed ka ba, Kuya?”
“Hindi naman.”
“Sorry…” seryoso kong sabi. “Pero ga-graduate ako, promise.”
“Pano grad school mo? ’Di ba gusto mong magtry sa NYU?”
I nodded. “Tuloy pa rin naman kapag naka-pasa ako, Kuya…”
“Pano si Cohen?”
“Alam niya naman, Kuya.”
“Lilipat din siya sa New York?”
I nodded. “Opo… Mabait sa akin si Cohen, Kuya. Try mong kausapin, ha? Kahit para sa ’kin lang. Sinabi ko sa kanya lahat ng pangarap ko and he promised me na susuportahan niya ako sa lahat ng gusto ko. Kaya ’wag ka ng magworry para sa ’kin…”
He snorted. “Di ako worried.”
I grinned. “Okay lang magshow ng concern minsan.”
“Si Nari ang worried.”
“Sus,” sabi ko sabay poke sa gilid niya. “Love na love mo talaga ko, no?”
“Asa.”
I laughed. “Love you din,” sabi ko. “San regalo ko?”
“Parating na.”
“San ba galing?”
“New York,” he said.
“Ha? Ano’ng inorder—”
Napa-tigil ako sa pagsasalita nang marinig ko iyong boses ni Haley. Agad na nanlaki ang mga mata ko at napa-takbo ako sa direksyon na pinanggalingan ng boses niya.
“Bakla ka!” I shouted as we hugged and jumped around. “Bakit ka nandito?!”
“Libre ng kuya mo, e!” she said. “Ang yaman pala talaga! First class iyong ticket!” she continued.
I turned to look at Kuya Preston who just quietly resumed to eating his breakfast and checking his stock options… Sus, kunwari suplado pero caring.
Pinainom ko ng maraming kape si Haley para hindi siya antukin. Siraulo din naman kasi ’to na dumating sa mismong araw ng kasal! Pero thankful na rin ako kasi siningit niya lang talaga sa sched. Gusto ko ngang kulitin about kay Drew pero baka samaan lang ako ng tingin, e… Bukas na lang after.
“Akalain mo, may igaganda ka pala?” she asked in awe habang naka-tingin kaming dalawa sa reflection ko. I was wearing an A-line wedding gown with sweetheart neckline. It was love at first sight. Sobrang… wow.
“Gaga, ’wag kang umiyak!” she said when she saw me tearing up.
“Ang ganda ko!”
“Baliw!”
“Yung makeup mo!”
“Waterproof ’yan!”
Nag-aaway kami ni Haley nang bumukas iyong pinto at nakita namin si Ate Maggie. Umawang ang labi ni Haley nang makita niya si Ate Maggie—same reaction, to be honest. Gandang babae talaga. Balita ko ex ni Ate member ng royal family, e. Iba talaga.
“Ready?” she asked. I nodded. “Good… And Sari? You’re so beautiful.”
I smiled at her. “Thank you, Ate.”
She just smiled back before she told me that she’d call me in a five minutes dahil nasa simbahan na lahat. Maya-maya, sumakay na ako sa bridal car. Si Mama hindi naman umiiyak at mukhang masayang-masaya sa suot niyang gown. Si Ate ang parang tanga na umiiyak. Si Tita panay selfie tapos pinapagalitan ni Mama na ’wag daw magpicture mamaya dahil may official photographer naman.
Pamilya ko talaga weird pero mahal na mahal ko ’yan.
“Game na,” I said when the car pulled over.
“Wag kang tatawa mamaya,” bilin ni Ate.
“Di naman—”
“Wag kang tatawa,” she insisted. “Kapag magka-tinginan kayo ni Cohen, para kayong tanga na biglang tatawa.”
“Grabe, hater?” I responded. E sa natatawa ako kay Cohen ngayon, e! Mukha kasing siya iyong bride kasi siya iyong stressed na stressed sa dami ng pinapagawa sa kanya. Ako iyong chill lang na sumasagot lang sa mga tanong kung ano ang gusto kong mangyari.
Inalalayan ako ni Ate pababa ng sasakyan. I couldn’t stop the smile from my face when I heard the instrumental version of 8 letters dahil iyong iyong request ko na kanta habang naglalakad ako. Tinanong nga ako kung bakit iyon kasi hindi daw pangkasal iyong lyrics… but it’s a special song for Cohen and me. Hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin niya kayang tugtugin sa gitara. Akalain mo, may hindi pala siya kayang gawin? Akala ko sobrang perfect na, e.
“Wag mong papasakitin ulo ni Cohen,” bilin ni Mama habang naglalakad kami sa aisle.
“Baka siya pinapasakit ulo ko,” sagot ko.
“Maniwala ako sa ’yo.”
“Grabe si Mama?”
We kept on talking while my eyes never left Cohen’s face. I could clearly see him at the end of the aisle, waiting for me… Amidst all the people in the church who joined us today in our wedding—iyong mga kapatid at pinsan niya, iyong pamilya ko… He’s seriously all that I see.
And when I finally reached him…
“Ready?” he asked.
“Ready,” I replied, anxious to start the rest of my life with him, the guy whom I once thought was out of my reach. But he’s now here, reaching for my hand and reminding me how much he loves me and how much he’ll love me for as long as we both shall live.

Midnight Drives And Rendezvous
“We’re leaving,” mom said. I could feel the blood draining from my face. My god, Seffy! Why did you ever do that?! Paano ka haharap ngayon sa buong pamilya?! It wasn’t as if I could just hide inside our house forever… e minsan pumupunta din sila dito!
Think, Seffy! Think!
“I’m feeling bad…” I said and even had the audacity to fake a cough… right in front of my doctor mother! I was just so desperate to skip this welcome party! Bakit naman kasi ngayon lang nasabi sa akin! Had I known about this, e ’di sana kahapon pa ako umalis para hindi ako mapilit na pumunta dito!
Mom touched my forehead. “You’re not sick.”
“Well, I feel sick.”
“Just drink water,” she said and then tapped my cheeks. “Magbihis ka na. We’ll leave in an hour.”
I grunted and shouted against the pillow. Ano’ng gagawin ko?! Hindi dapat ako pumunta doon! Hindi dapat ako magpakita! What if… what if maalala niya ako?! Bakit naman kasi hindi ko alam ang itsura niya! I should’ve known that it was him!
And had I known… hinding-hindi ko gagawin iyong mga pinaggagawa ko noon!
I tried to concoct a plan… but every plan I built inside my head all ended up with me accidentally bumping into him. Because who was I kidding? We’re from the same circle… our families, though not blood related, were close— too close if you ask me.
God… there’s no escaping him this time.
Or…
I quickly grabbed the scissors. Huminga ako nang malalim. Kaya ko ’to. Kaya ko… My god! I closed my eyes and just blindly cut a portion of my hair and turned it into bangs. Huminga ako muli nang malalim. That’s it, Seffy… That’s it. Your hair would grow again… kaya mo ’yan.
My whole body was shaking when I finished my artwork. I looked at my reflection… Not bad. I looked like I belong to Cleopatra’s era.
Kinuha ko iyong phone ko at saka tinignan kung ano ang itsura ko nung nasa New York ako. Malayo na iyong buhok ko ngayon… I was wearing light makeup there. Okay… Time to eyeliner my way out of this situation.
By the time I was done, I couldn’t recognize myself anymore. I looked like a confused Cleopatra wannabe and rocker. Whatever. Muntik na nga akong magsuot ng dark lipstick, but I figured that I might give my father a shock kapag ginawa ko ’yun.
“I’m ready,” I announced.
“Okay, sweetie. We’re—” Mom’s words were paused when she took a look of me. I smiled at her as I watched her lips part in confusion. “What is… happening here,” she said, motioning at my face.
“Did you lose a bet?” Dad asked.
Umiling ako. “No. Just new style.”
“Have you seen yourself on a mirror?”
Tumango ako. “Yes. Can I…” sabi ko bago humugot ng malalim na hininga, “Leave early? I need to go somewhere.”
Both of them nodded in unison. Mas gusto siguro nila na umalis na agad ako kaysa ma-weirduhan lahat ng tao sa akin. I couldn’t blame them, really… I looked confused. Like I rebelled late.
We rode in a van. I was silent on the way. Of course hindi pwede na ganito ang itsura ko palagi… Baka tanggalin ako sa trabaho ko kapag ganito. But this was an emergency solution to a pressing problem. Kailangan kong mag-isip ng permanent na solution.
Maybe I’d talk to him. He seemed like a sensible guy.
Tama. Kakausapin ko siya. Though hindi ngayon… Kailangan kong mag-isip nang paraan para maintindihan niya iyong mga katangahan na ginawa ko noon. Kailangan niya akong maintindihan dahil hindi naman pwede kaming mag-iwasan! For God’s sake, sigurado ako na magkikita kami palagi! Lalo pa ngayon na sabi ay dito na siya sa Pilipinas!
I felt like my heart was already in my throat when my van pulled over. Dad opened the door and assisted Mom. Nang ako na iyong pababa, naka-kunot pa rin iyong noo niya.
“Are you having a nervous breakdown?” he asked, looking concerned.
“Probably,” I replied. Nababaliw na ako kakaisip kung ano ang solusyon sa problemang pinasok ko!
Dad rested his arm on my shoulder. “You want to talk to me? Or to someone?”
Umiling ako. “No… I’ll be fine,” I assured him. I knew he’s just worried since I’m his only daughter. I knew Dad had always wanted a huge family because he came from a huge family… Pero ano’ng magagawa kung ako lang ang binigay sa kanila?
Dad kissed the side of my head and told me he loves me and my emo phase. Napa-iling na lang ako. Nag-eyeliner lang, emo na agad?
The whole place was packed. Hopefully, hindi ako mapansin—
“What in the world?” Amaris asked.
“I need my cam!” Gali shouted before he ran away.
I rolled my eyes. “Shut up.”
Tumawa si Amaris. “But seriously… what’s up with this?” she asked and then pointed at my bangs. Tuwid naman iyong pagkaka-gupit ko!
“I look cute, okay?”
I should just claim it. Principle of attraction. Cute ako.
I spent the next hour telling my cousins that I didn’t lose a bet and my titos and titas that I wasn’t in the middle of some nervous breakdown. My God! Ito talaga ang hirap kapag sobrang tight ng family… Although I’d never exchange them for anything.
A little while later, nahati na ang mga tao. There’s a huge table for all the adults and the cousins. Unfortunately for me, hindi ako maka-relate kaya tahimik lang ako habang nag-uusap sila about work and stocks and all adult stuff.
“Is it true that he’s gonna stay here for good na?”
“Yes.”
“Why? What happened to his work in Cali?”
“Don’t know… but maybe they just asked him to come home na? I mean, he’s been there for so long! I was just 14 when he left. I’m 23 na!”
My head automatically snapped at their direction. Were… they talking about him?
I wanted to pry some more details, but I was afraid that they’d catch on to me… Ayoko talaga na malaman nila iyong mga kalokohan na ginawa ko dati! My God! They’d never let me hear the end of that! Baka kahit sa kamatayan ko, isama pa nila iyon sa eulogy.
Remember that one time when Seffy did—
Ugh! Imagination, stop it!
“What does he look like na? I forgot what he looks like already! He doesn’t even have facebook!” Cornelia said. See?! It wasn’t my fault that I didn’t recognize him when I went to Cali! I was 11 when he left! And he never came home to the Philippines dahil laging siya ang pinupuntahan doon. Tapos hindi pa siya magamit ng SNS… and hindi pa ako friends sa FB ng mga Tito and Tita ko dahil duh… privacy.
I really had no clue that it was him! Ano ba naman kasing name niya na ’yun?! Sobrang common! Malay ko ba na siya ’yun?!
“You know how he is,” Jeanne said. “His head’s always buried in a book.”
“Well… That’s true. When we visited him before, we had to go to his lab pa because he was so busy that he couldn’t take time to see us,” Amaris added. “But we knew he didn’t mean to offend… That’s just who he is.”
Humigpit ang hawak ko sa kutsara. Right. He’s that kind of doctor! Sobrang nakaka-hiya talaga iyong mga ginawa ko dati! My God! Mamamatay muna ako bago may makaalam nun! I should really fix this mess before it became an even bigger mess!
Parang biglang nagkaroon ako ng bionic ears dahil sobrang nakikinig ako ng kahit na ano na feel ko ay magiging useful information para sa balak kong pakikipag-usap sa kanya.
“Are you alright?” Elara asked. I looked at her and nodded. “Are you sure? You look like you’re about to cry.”
Maybe I was about to cry… Bakit ba kasi sobrang nakaka-hiya ng ginawa ko?!
“Can I get a hug?” tanong ko sa kanya. Elara laughed for a while, but nevertheless hugged me. Buti pa ’to mabait… Iyong iba kong pinsan hindi ko na lang alam talaga.
Tahimik lang ulit ako at na-iisip ng paraan pero natigil ang pag-iisip ko nang maka-rinig ako ng boses na nagsasabi na nandito na raw sila. My God! Ito na!
We all stood up in anticipation of his return—akala mo kung sino’ng sobrang big time! Ano naman kung sobrang talino niya?! Ano naman kung kaya hindi siya umuwi ng matagal kasi sobrang laki raw ng offer sa kanya nung company nila para doon siya magwork?! Dapat doon na lang siya? Na-stress ako talaga!
“Welcome home!” sabay-sabay na sigaw nila nang makita namin sina Tito na dumating. Biglang nanlamig iyong buong pagkao ko nang makita ko iyong mukha niya… Shucks. Siya nga talaga ’yun! Medyo nagmature lang iyong mukha niya ng kaunti, but it’s him! It’s really him! Patay na talaga ako!
“Seffy, are you okay?” Dad asked.
I looked at him, feeling utterly helpless. “Dad…”
“What is happening? Do you wanna go to the hospital?”
Mabilis akong tumango. Akala ko kaya ko. Akala ko ready na ako… pero ngayon na nasa harap ko na talaga siya, hindi ko pala kaya. Mamamatay na talaga ako! Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko!
Dad talked to mom and both of them stood up. Sasamahan talaga nga yata nila ako sa hospital… Akala ko sasabihan na naman ako ni Mama na uminom ng tubig. Pero kailangan ko na yata ng pampa-kalma sa sobrang kaba ko.
I saw my parents talk to my other titas and told them na mauuna na kami dahil may emergency. Buti na lang hindi na nila sinabi na ako iyong emergency dahil ayoko talaga na nalalagay sa spotlight sa pamilya na ’to. If I could stay under the radar, it’d be perfect… Na mukhang possible naman dati kasi ako na iyong pinaka-normal sa aming magpipinsan…
Well, until now.
Sigurado ako na kapag may nakaalam, mag-iiba ang tingin nila sa akin. Kaya wala dapat makaalam!
“We’ll head straight to the hospital,” Dad said. I nodded. “Wait, let’s say hi muna sa pinsan mo.”
“He’s not my cousin, you know?” I said, trying so hard to make what happened not weird. Hindi naman talaga kami magpinsan! Hindi kami blood-related! Sobrang close lang talaga ng family na ’to kaya sobrang dami kong pinsan!
“Whatever,” Dad replied. “Let’s just say hi, and then we’ll leave.”
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. “O-Okay na ko, Dad.”
But my complaint was heard by deaf ears because before I even knew it, we’re literally face to face. Shit! Sana gumana iyong bangs and emo attire ko! Hindi ako ready! Hanggang ngayon nga hindi ko pa rin complete iyong recollection ko ng mga nangyari!
“John, welcome home!” Dad said. Ramdam na ramdam ko na talaga ang panlalamig ng buong pagkatao ko. “We have to leave but I want to talk to you about some portfolios, is that okay?”
He nodded. “Sure, Tito.”
“Good, good,” Dad said. Gustung-gusto ko na siyang hatakin. “By the way, this is—”
“Persephone,” John said, looking at me like he was studying every inch of my face. I felt like getting sick. Nagkatotoo na yata talaga iyong sakit ko… baka next na iyong mental breakdown ko talaga! “I know. We’ve met.”
“You really have great memory, huh? Seffy’s still little when you last saw her,” Dad said, obviously impressed. Bakit nga kasi ’di ko siya nakilala noon?! I mean, out of all my cousins, si John talaga iyong laging binibida ni Dad kasi sobrang amazed siya sa talino ni John—which was super ironic dahil mortal na kaaway yata ni Dad iyong tatay ni John.
“We met just last year. In Cali,” he responded, still looking directly in my eyes. Gusto ko biglang hatakin iyong emergency bangs ko para tuluyang takpan ang buong mukha ko.
Great. He remembered! I’m dead. So dead.
