it was already evening and i'm still here at rose's house.

it's getting late and rose's still not home.

"will you still wait for her?" her mom asked me.

i nodded. i told tita bom to rest already and i'll just wait for her instead.

a little while later, the door opens revealing a smiling rose. she was shock to see me here.

"you're here. kuya." she said stating the obvious.

"do you know what time is it?" i asked her as i walk near her.

"it's just 9 in the evening."

"just 9? you leave the house before lunch and your telling me it's just 9? and you're with a freaking guy rose!"

"kuya, please. even my mom is not complaining."

"but i am!"

i think i'm about to get crazy thinking about what they are doing the whole day.

"why? huh?" i saw her eyes becomes watery. "can you please stop doing this? if you don't like me just stop! you know i like you! it makes me give meaning to everything. so just fvcking stop. if you're doing this because i'm like a sister to you, let me tell you this. i never wanted to have a brother. just let me be with the people who truly likes me so i will not bother you anymore!" she burst out. she was wiping her tears aggressively with the back of her hands. "isn't that what you want?"

i didn't know how to respond so i just stand there and watched her run to her bedroom and slammed the door shut.
