18

"Miguel!" Laarni screamed as she exited the ABS-CBN building, but it was as if Miguel had heard nothing. She ran, in her heels, until she caught up with him and held him by the arm. "May problema ka ba? Kanina pa kita tinatawag."

"Sorry busy ako, eh." Miguel reasoned out. It was a lie of course, as he had been avoiding Laarni on purpose.

"Bakit hindi mo sinasagot tawag ko?" She asked.

"Nakakalimutan ko lang. Naka-silent kasi madalas phone ko."

"May sinabi ba sa iyo si Adrian?"

"Wala." Miguel lied. Laarni paused for a moment. She looked at Miguel's eye and caught the lie. She let go of his hand.

"Kung ano man ang sinabi sa iyo ni Adrian, ako pa rin ang pakinggan mo dahil ako ang kaibigan mo." Laarni explained. "Miguel, hwag kang umalis sa tabi ko. Ikaw lang pinagkakatiwalaan ko. Please. Don't leave me alone."

Miguel nodded, as his arms enveloped her.
