"hoy, wag mong sasabihin sa iba ha secret lang" sabi ko kay Ella, dahil baka sabihin niya sa girls. eh madadaldal pa naman yung mga yon, especially Shai.

"your secret is safe with me" sabi niya, but honestly I don't trust her. sa tagal ba naman naming mag kaibigan ay almost all my secrets that I told her ay nalaman nila Shai.

tulad nung sinabi ko sa kanya na nangyari nung kinder ako. my yaya forgot to put underwear on me nung first day of school ko. hindi ko alam kung bakit nangyari yon at kung bakit ko sinabi iyon kay Ella. but the next day, sinabi sa akin ni Sofia na sinabi daw sakanila ni Ella yung kinuwento ko sa kanya at pinagtawanan nila ko.

I can't be angry at her though. alam niya kung kanino niya sasabihin ang mga sikreto ko, hindi niya sasabihin ang mga iyon sa kung kani-kanino lang. she knows the people that I trust naman.

and the next day napagkasunduan namin na mag hang out and plan for a trip since bakasyon na. and immediately right after they enter the house I received some teasing look from my girl friends and I exactly knew the reason why.

tinignan ko si Ella with my 'did you say it?' look.

"I mean sharing is caring naman diba?" she said while scratching the back of her head.

"hindi sa pag share ng chismis Ella" sabi naman ni Sofia kaya naman tumango tango ako.

Si Sofia lang talaga ang kakampi ko when it comes to secrets.

"ano kaba Angela, it's normal to like someone" sabi ni Chin kaya naman napatingin ako sa paligid to check if anybody heard it.

baka marinig ng mga maids at sabihin pa kila mommy. I don't how they will react.

"I don't like him noh!" I quickly denied.

"pshh pakipot ka pang babae ka" sabi naman ni Shai.

"I just said it's getting there" dugtong ko pa.

"gaga may it's getting there ka pang nalalaman, ganon na din yon! sooner or later magugustuhan mo din siya. baka nga ngayon palang may gusto ka na sa kanya eh tapos in denial" sabi ni Shai na sinang ayunan naman ng iba.

tinraydor ako ni Sofia ah..

"agree ako diyan sa sinabi mo. but Shai, can you please lessen the curse? mga mabubuti kaming tao dito" sabi ni Chin kay Shai.

"anong mabubuti? sino? kayo? saang banda sis?" sabi ni Shai na tumingin sa gilid gilid namin.

inirapan lang siya ni Chin.

"what I mean is, baka ngayon palang gusto mo na siya and you just don't realize it dahil you keep on denying it! you keep saying na it's getting there kase." Shai said. and the others agreed. again.

i mean Ethan is nice, gentleman, matalino, caring, and handsome pa, in short he's like a perfect man that every girl dreams about. but am I ready to open up my heart and genuinely like someone?

it's not like wala pakong nagugustuhan na lalaki. syempre meron. sila V, Jungkook, Mingyu, and 9999+ others. but that was because I admire them ang their talents. is my feelings for Ethan is more than just admiring him?

"alam niyo wag niyo na nga siyang guluhin, mas lalo lang siyang maguguluhan sa feelings niya kung ganyan kayo" sabi ni Ella and the others sigh.

"okay okay, pero love is not a sin Angela. you can love whoever you want no one is stopping you" payo pa ni Shai. there is something that's stopping me though.

nag labas ng meryenda ang maids sa living room at nag simula silang kumain.

"didn't you eat lunch?" tanong ko kase usually hindi nila gagalawin yung meryenda na hinahanda.
