“What the f**k are you doing?” Palipat-lipat ang kaniyang mga mata sa akin. It touched every inch of my face, demanding answers even I didn’t know. “What the f**k is all this, Daisy? Huh? Because we’re back again in square one. Here we are again in this goddamn loop of your teenage dramas. Tell me what to do because my patience is running out.” “Sinasabi mong bata ako... pero inaasahan mong umakto akong matanda.” Finally, I spoke. He pulled back just a bit like my words undid him. “When you say things, you need to mean it, Ilay. Just like with your promises because you never know if someone is listening... if someone is waiting...” My lips trembled. “Why?” Umapoy ang kaniyang mga mata. “Why were you waiting for me?”
