NATIGILAN si Timothy pagbukas niya ng pintuan. Sari-saring emosyon ang lumukob sa dibdib niya. Gulat at awa ang rumehistro sa mukha niya nang magtama ang mata nila ng babaeng kaharap. She obviously lost weight and it took a toll on her appearance. It had been over a month since the last time he spoke to her.
“Surprise!” awkward nitong bati. Magtatangka sana itong halikan siya ngunit mabilis siyang nakaiwas saka ito kunot-noong tinitigan.
“What the hell are you doing here, Nina?” Mariin at sadyang ipinahalata niya ang inis sa boses niya.
“Aren’t you gonna invite me in?” Her voice was husky and inviting.
He let go a deep sigh and controlled himself. He crossed his arms then shook his head. “No,” pakli niya.
“Oh, come on!” She pushed the partly opened door and entered the flat.
