'Skype. Now.'

I felt energy flow in my entire being. Itinago ko agad yung phone ko at mabilis ma nagjog pauwi.

Nang makauwi ako ay agad akong dumeretso sa taas. Hindi pa ako nakakapasok sa kwarto pero rinig ko na yung pagriring ng laptop ko. Agad naman akong sumampa sa kama at binuksan ang laptop. I quickly accepted Van's video chat and a messy room welcomed me through the screen.

"Van?" I called out his name.

"Allison!"

"Ay, palaka!" Hiyaw ko. Paano ba naman, agad na sumulpot sa screen itong si Van nang walang sabi-sabi.

"What the f**k Allison?!" Bungad agad ni Van. My face curled into a furrow.

"What? And what happened there? Kanina ang ayos lang niyan—"

"I told you! Wag kang lalapit sa mga ex mo!" He shouts.

What the f**k?

"If you called me for this, well then it's better if you hang up or I'll hang up." I told him then closed the laptop. Gosh, Van! What the heck is wrong with you?! Really?!

Teka, paano nga ba nalaman ni Van iyon?!
