A Letter from Me to You

Day 003

Hi,

I smile. I think of that moment when I scold you.

"Hindi tama yung ginagawa mo, masasaktan mo lang sya. If I were you, choose before it gets worst."

We were at the back of our classroom facing the garden. You just stared at me. I looked back then sigh. I left you there with a frown but I know that you understand.

Moments later, we're back to being naughty as if nothing happened. You're teasing my friend---your crush---while I am laughing. You look funny and sometimes annoying. We laughed.

When you and me, together with my friends are in one place, nakakalimutan ko, committed ka na pala. When that fact hit my mind, I'm being observant, thinking many 'what ifs'. What if you've fallen to my friend? What will your girlfriend do? What should I do as your friend? What my friend would do knowing that someone will be hurt? What will you do? Is everything will be alright? How could it be if a relationship is at stake?

The right thing came up to my innocent mind, saying 'Break up with her if you really like my friend, but I'm teling you, hindi ako boto sa kanya para sa'yo, you might end up hurting yourself. Pero ikaw ang bahala, opinyon ko lang ito.'

I almost see you cry. Since that incident, you've gone so far from me. We're together but you keep your distance when it comes to serious matters. How did I know? Because months after, you told me so. I'm on a jeepney when you remind me about it. Though, still thankful for your new found trust and honesty to me.

Naalala ko lang yan. I feel like a guardian angel of an arrogant man. Funny? Yah! It should be.

Yours truly,

Shara
