Balancing The Trials Of Hearts

"Then? What did he say?" Ate Tulia asked naman nang maupo siya sa tabi ko.

"He said na it's fine lang daw," I said naman and drank some water. Nandito na naman ako sa house nina Ate Tulia kasi I wanted to talk to them about sa nangyari. I told them na pumunta dito sa Manila si Trevor just to see me and surprise me sana.

"Then? Did he sound mad?" Yara asked naman while scrolling at her phone. "I mean we all know Trevor," she said and turned to me. "He loves you so much," she said pa kaya I looked away. Mas nag-guilty tuloy ako.

"He said naman na he understands na I'm busy daw," I started. "I didn't know na he's coming naman e'di sana I cancelled my appointment for that day."

"Surprise nga, right?" Kuya Dive said naman and shook his head. "If he told you na he's coming, it won't be a surprise anymore," he said pa and shrugged his shoulders.

"Besides, where are you that time ba?" Ate Hermit asked naman. "I mean you said na he's there since the morning 'til the midnight. So, where were you that time?"

Natigilan naman ako sa question ni Ate Hermit. "I-I'm doing a collaboration," I said naman and nodded. "For a vlog," I added pa.

"With whom?" Yara asked naman and sat properly. "You should have remembered na anniversary niyo pala that day," she said pa and smiled. "How can you forget such an important day?"

"She has collaboration nga di'ba?" Surf said naman. "Trevor is understanding kaya I know naman na he's not mad," Surf tried to make me feel better. He gave me a thumbs up pa. I smiled nalang.

"People have their own limitations," Tide spoke naman kaya napatingin kami sa kaniya. He was on the staircase while he's leaning on the railings. "Don't abuse Trevor," he said pa and stood straight.

"What the hell are you saying?" Ate Tulia asked him naman. "She has to go somewhere that day nga raw di'ba? And besides it's for her vlogging naman kaya what's abusive there?"

"I don't know," Tide answered naman and sighed. "I'm just saying," he said pa and turned his back on us na and headed back to his room.

"I think Tide is right," Yara said naman and stood up. "I think just forgetting that special day is so not you," she said pa while staring at me. "We saw Trevor's effort sa long-distance relationship niyo. He kept on sending you flowers and other stuffs tuwing you are achieving something, in your every birthday, anniversary but I never saw you send him anything during his birthday."

"You don't know anything," I said naman. "I became busy in my youtube—"

"Yes. I forgot na you're so famous na nga pala," she said and chuckled. "Whatever," she said and walked na palabas and nagtaka rin ako when Ate Hermit stood up also.

"We need to go," she said and tapped my shoulder.
