NEWS : Due to a novel virus, an emergency lock down--

"Pa'no na ako makakauwi neto?" reklamo ni Sunny habang nanonood ng balita.

"You can just stay here." Triangle suggested. "I'll make sure you're okay, magiging asawa na rin naman kita."

Namula si Sunny sa sinabi ni Triangle.

"Hmm... You're blushing."

"H-ha, Hindi ah!"

"Psh. Come here." niyaya siya ni Triangle na tumabi sa kanya, sinunod naman ito ni Sunny.

"You're stuck with me,pancake." he whispered.

SUNNY slowly opened her eyes. It's her first day sa condo ni Triangle. Tumingin siya katabi. "Hay, ba't ang gwapo mo?" umiling nalang siya at nag tungo sa banyo.

Nang hilamos ito at nag toothbrush. She looked at the mirror..

"Looks like gagamitin mo na ang pinag aralan mo Sunny.. " She said to herself.

She went in the kitchen and tied her hair into a messy bun. "Let's cook!"

Pancakes
Hotdogs
Bacon
Eggs

Ngumiti si Sunny sa ginawa. Sana naman masarap. She saw Triangle lazily walking towards her.

"Good morning!" bati niya.

"Good morning" he kissed her forehead.

They ate breakfast together. Triangle also left a sweet complement to Sunny and her dishes.

After eating and doing their morning rituals napag decidedan ni Sunny at ni Tringle na bumili ng groceries.

"Ayan.. Nakalista na dyan ang bibilhin mo ha? Pag may tanong ka just call me, okay?"

"Yes maam!" masiglang sagot ni Triangle.

1. Garlic
2. Onion
3. Chilli powder
4. Petchay
5. Carrots
6. Paminta
7. Sibuyas Dahon
8. Broccoli

And so on. He was tasked to buy groceries for both of them. Bawal kasing lumabas ang mga babae. Wala naman siyang reklamo basta safe lang ang kasama.

Nakita niya ang pakalatkalat na robots. They are now the new front liners.

"Hello, Good afternoon. May I see your ID sir.."

Nilabas ni Triangle ang ID at pinakita ito "You may now pass.. Mr. Bermudo..."

Nakapag grocery si Triangle with no problems at all! Proud na proud ito sa sarili. He drove back to their humble home.

"I'm back!!!!!" masiglang sabi niya.

Sinalubong naman ito ni Sunny, He was about to hug her when Sunny stopped him. "Ooooppps! Alcohol muna." 

After the 'alcohol' thing, he hugged Sunny. She asked questions kung Nahirapan ba ito o may naging problema ba after he said no, Inayos na ni Sunny ang mga napamili. Dumeretso naman si Triangle sa sala.

It was a great and a comfy afternoon with Sunny beside him. Nag movie marathon sila. He felt contented.

...

"Dinner's ready!"

"Wow... Can we finish this all?" Triangle was amazed sa mga niluto ni Sunny. The visuals.

"Nwap. Pentagon will join us."

"Huh?--" Bat Pentagon tawag mo kay Gon? magtatanong pa sana siya nang biglang bumukas ang pinto ng bahay niya.

"HELLO!!!!!" Sigaw ni Gon. "Hi kitten!!!" masiglang bati niya kay Sunny. "Oh Taksulok!" Gon added as he looked at Triangle with a wide smile.

"Bat ka nandito?"

"Bawal ba? Wala na kasing pagkain sa bahay kaya dito nalang muna ako mag didiner."

"Tss"

Umupo si Triangle katabi si Sunny while Gon was in front of him.

"Ang sarap kitten!!!!"

"Stop looking at her like that."

"Selos ka?"

"Shut up."

"Tumigil kayo." sinaway sila.

...TRIANGLE'S POV

DUMAAN ang isang linggo tila ba'y may nagbabago kay Sunny. Im not complaining but.. It feels different..

"Did you changed your recipe, pancake?"

"H-huh.. Hindi ah.."

"I see... Baka yung dila ko lang yung nag iba.."

"Pangit ba ang lasa?"

"Not really...It just feels like.. New."

I can sense it.. May mali talaga, the way she eat, walk, even the position when she's sleeping. Baka paranoid lang ako. Bahala na nga.

Afternoon came and I cooked our Lunch..

"Wow..."

"I know right?" pagmamalaki ko.

"This taste good." sambit niya "Ano tawag dito?"

I'm shocked and confused... Its one of her favorite food.

"T-tinola ang tawag dyan.."

"Its yummy!" she smiled.

Dumaan ang gabi...I wanna know what's wrong... I can sense it. Hindi si Sunny ang kasama ko. I'm not stupid.

Pero.. Where is the real Sunny? Kung hindi si Sunny ang kasama ko, saan siya? There's a change na carbon copy lang tong kasama ko. Sino nanaman ba ang kalaban namin?

"Let's sleep already..." The 'fake' Sunny invited me. I nodded and pretend to sleep.

Habang nakahiga may narinig akong tunog.. Sobrang hinang tunog, para bang katok.

Dug-dug-dug 

dug------dug-----dug

Dug-dug-dug

Tumigil ito ng ilang sigundo nang may kumatok ulit pinakinggan ko ito ng mabuti.

Dug-dug-dug 

dug------dug-----dug

Dug-dug-dug

I numbed... It was a code. Someone is asking for help. Is that someone.. Sunny?

Dahandahan akong tumayo at nag tungo sa labas ng kwarto... It sounds far pero alam kong nasa loob lang ito ng condo.

Dug-dug-dug 

dug------dug-----dug

Dug-dug-dug

I followed the sound.

Dug-dug-dug 

dug------dug-----dug

Dug-dug-dug

And as I follow it...

Dug-dug-dug 

dug------dug-----dug

Dug-dug-dug

Tumambad saakin ang Wall ng library.

Dug-dug-dug 

dug------dug-----dug

Dug-dug-dug

I can't really hear the knocking that clearly pero mas malakas na ang tunog nito. What's behind this wall? Pano ba ako makakapasok dito? 

As I looked at the details sa wall na nasa harapan ko I noticed something... Infront of me like what I've thought, It was a door.

Saan ba...
San ba to bubuksan?

I pushed random books, baka mabuksan ang mystery door na yun. Nagbabasakaling baka pareho ito sa mga movie na napa--

Click!

What the...
The door! Is freaking open! I immediately grabbed my flashlight and went inside. Parang nasa loob ako ng kweba...

Dug-dug-dug 

dug------dug-----dug

Dug-dug-dug

Its getting nearer!
Wait for me, Pancake...

Binilisan ko ang lakad ko but I stopped when I felt or heared something... or someone...

I can hear footsteps, palapit ng palapit sakin. I immediately ran... Wala akong pake san na ako patungo neto.

I halted once more. Nakatayo ako ngayon sa harapan ng tatlong pinto.

Ano nanamang trip 'to?

The 1st door was with the sign Very Scary The second one was Scary and the last one was signed Not scary at all.

Napamura ako. Bahala na nga. I opened the "very scary" door tumambak saakin ang isang bangkay...

Pentagon?! No.. It can't be.. He was with us last week...

No. Focus. They are just trying to play with you Triangle... Just freaking focus.

Dug-dug-dug 

dug------dug-----dug

Dug-dug-dug

I closed the door and chose the "Not scary at all" Ngayon naman ang nasa harap ko ay isang mahabang hallway...

I walked slowly. Feeling ko susuko na ang nilalakaran ko.

"Where are you going?" napalingon ako sa nag salita... "I said let's sleep at anong lugar 'to Triangle?" pa innocenteng tanong ng pekeng Sunny, she walked slowly towards me but I stopped her.

"Don't." 

"B-bakit? Ano bang ginawa ko?"

"Just stop it! Stop acting! I know the truth already!"

"A-anong pinagsasabi mo?"

"Where is Sunny?"

"I'm confused, T-triangle.. Di na nakakatuwa to.."

"WHERE IS SUNNY?!"

"Triangle Ano ba! You're s-scaring me..."

"Sabihin mo san si Sunny kung ayaw mong maputulan ng kamay---"

Dug-dug-dug 

dug------dug-----dug

Dug-dug-dug

Frick it.

... I can hear it now clearly. Galing sa ilalim ang tunog.

"T-triangle...Ano yun? Bakit may kumakatok sa ilalim?"

I grabbed a stone at sinira ang wooden floor.

I was rooted in the place where I was standing.

"T-tatsulok?"

"Triangle?"

"Triangle?"

It was Sunny together with my brother and my cousin.

"Triangle kaninong boses yo--"

Nakita ko ang gulat sa mata nilang tatlo. I Immediately jumped then hugged Sunny. The real Sunny.

"T-trinangle?"

"I'm here pancake...I'm here..."

"Sino siya?"

Bumitaw ako sa yakap niya, I looked at the fake Sunny... She was shocked para bang hindi makapaniwala na nalaman ko ang sekreto nila.

I smirked at tumgin ulit kay Sunny.

"I don't know where she came from.. Did they hurt you? How come you didn't know her?"

"I was just sleeping in our bed then when I woke up... Nandito na ako...Kasama si Gon at si Trench... Kasama--"

"Who the heck heck are you?!"

Di ko na mabilang ilang beses akong naguluhan ngayong araw. Naka tayo ilang metro ang layo mula sa kinatatayuan namin ang isang Triangle Grande Bermudo...

Ang buong akala ko si Pentagon at si Sunny lang ang ginaya nila... Pati rin pala ako...

Sunny looked back. "N-naguguluhan na ako..."

Trench immediately grabbed her away from me. Pentagon was still standing behind me, Alam Kong marami din siyang tanong..

"S-sino Ang totoong Triangle sa inyo?" Nilingon ko si Gon "At Sino ang totoong Sunny? Is there a possibility na peke rin tong si Trench? Na may isang ako rin don sa labas?"

"Gon... Its me..And yes may isang ikaw sa labas, they fooled me. Akala ko ikaw--" I looked directly at his eyes with hope. Gon..paniwlaan mo ako.

"No! Wag kang maniwala sa kanya Pentagon! Ginugulo lang niya ang isip mo! Ang isip niyo!"

"Don't belive him... Its really me. I went here right? Hinanap ko si Sunny. Hindi ko inaakalang Nandito rin pala kayo..."

"CUT THE CRAP YOU FAKE! SINONG NAGPADALA SAYO RITO? KAYA KAYA KA NAMING PUTULAN NG ULO!"

"Triangle Sino siya--"

"AND ALSO YOU!" tinuro niya ang pekeng Sunny "SINONG NAGPADALA SA INYO RITO!"

"Ikaw..." napupuno na ako. "sinong gumawa sayo?" isang salita nalang galing sa kanya sasabog na ako..

"Abay--"

"TAMA NA!" Everyone looked at Sunny.

"Hey--" pipigilan sana siya ni Trench.

"Saan nakalagay ang photo book ni papa?" She looked at me then looked at the carbon copy of myself.

Album?

"Saan nakalagay ang album ni papa.."

Bat hindi ko Alam Saan..

"In the bookshelf..." Napalingon ako sa nagsalita... It was the fake version of me. "In the top of the book shelf."

Hindi... Walang photo album sa bahay...Bakit--

"So ikaw ang pekeng Triangle?" Gon looked at me..

Ako? Hindi ako. 

"At klaro klarong ikaw ang pekeng Sunny..." tinignan ni Pentagon ang Sunny na Naka sama ko for the last week.

"Tss." I'm confused once more.

Photo album? Wala akong maalalang photo album.

"Cut the crap both of you... Salamat sa butas na ginawa mo na contact ko na sila sa labas" Si Trench naman ang tumingin saakin with his bored eyes. "See you sa Tussah"

Am I really the fake one?

"Well played fake one. Sa tingin mo magtatagumpay kayo sa plano niyo? Tell your boss to stop messing with Grandes. Stop messing with me."

"Tama na Tatsulok. Pagbabayaran nila ang ginawa nilang pag kulong satin dito." Pentagon commented.

Ako ba talaga ang pekeng Triangle?

"Tara na, pancake. Umalis na tayo rito." Aakbayan sana niya si Sunny nung biglang sinipa ni Pentagon ang tyan nito. Mabilis namang natumba ang kaharap ko Habang nakahawak pa sa parteng natamaan ni Pentagon.

Anong nangyayari?

I looked at Gon. Ngumiti lang ito Sakin.

"You're wrong." Sunny whispered "Walang photo album si papa..."

I froze. They knew? Akala ko tama sila.. I even doubted myself.

"What are you saying? Sinabi mo--"

"It was fake. Alam ng totoong Triangle na walang photo album sa bahay."

"At sa tingin mo tanga kami para di malaman na peke pala ang kasama namin? Like what you've said... Don't mess up with Grandes.. Di mo alam sinong kinakalaban mo." Trench smirked.

They knew all along? Kaya pala kanina pa Nakatingin si Sunny sa saakin her eyes were filled with worries.

"Wow! Galing ko bang umarte Kitten?" Pentagon playfully said. "Sasali na ba ako sa--"

The fake Sunny was about to attack Pentagon when I stopped her. Sinipa ko rin ang tiyan nito at tumilapon katabi ang pekeng version ko. Its weird to say the "pekeng version" part. I looked at both of them. You guys will really pay.

"Oh. Tama na Tatsulok. Baka sasabog ka na. Nakakatakot pa naman."

I looked at the three of them.

"Yiiii~ Akala mo iiwan ka namin? Sheympre hindi! Kilalang kilala ka namin Tatsulok."

"Gon is right. We know you enough."

"Ano kitten? Di mo ba yayakapin ang bebe mo?"

"Anong bebe--"

I hugged her. Sinong nag aakalang ang matiwasay sana sa home quarantine ko kay mauuwi sa ganito.

Buti nalang may mga taong nakakakilala saakin ng... tunay.

"Lesson learned! Always keep your eyes on!"

"Kahit kailan panira ka talaga Gon!"

"Eto na nga tatahimik na."

THE END.
