"She's here" Naunang pumasok si donny sa hospital room ni claudia.

The tension was so intense i almost couldn't breathe.

"We'll leave you two girls alone" Ani tita mayie at sabay sila lumabas ni tito, ate clarisse at donny.

Now, it's just me and claudia.

"Kamusta..?"

"Ayos lang. Ikaw? parang isang hila ko lang sa wire na ito tutunig lahat ng machines dito ah" Biro lang naman iyon pero kahit pa'y hindi manlang nag bago ang emosyon niya.

"I'm sorry"

i didn't speak. Tinignan ko lang siya. Trying to reminisce our moments together.

Pero i can only remember the bad ones. When i was jealous of something she have that i don't. The way she's prettier and smarter than me. How donny chose her over me.

It's all the insecurity of this friendship is the only ones i remember. toxicity, insecurity, immaturity and all that jazz.

"I know you are.."

But despite that. I know we had a very deep and meaningful friendship.

After that we talked and talked. Pero bumalik narin ang mga tao sa loob after 20 minutes.

"Mom can i talk to donny alone?"

"Can't we stay?"

"Please...?"

"Fine" bumunting hininga si tita at muli silang lumabas ngunit kasabay na ako.

Ano naman kaya ang paguusapan nila? Is it about me? or is it something not even related to me a bit.

After like 10 minutes, donny came out of the room crying... but he's smiling???

"Tita... i'm so sorry. But please remember that i am a person too. I have my own free will and i can do any damn thing i want"

W-what the hech is he doing?!

Tita and tito both looked shocked and was about to say something pero tinalikuran na sila ni donny at patakbo akong hinila.

"What the hell was that?!" sigaw ko sakaniya habang tumatakbo kami

"My freedom!" he replied.

what??

"Beside claudia, they've been holding me back for some time. Umabot na nga sa point na dun na ako pinatira sakanila para lang hindi magwala si claudia." Kahit tumatakbo kami medjo naintindihan ko naman ang sinasabi niya.

Sumakay kami sa kotse niya at dinala niya ako sa gazebo na pinuntahan namin kaninang umaga.

"What did claudia said to you?"

FLASHBACK
Donny's POV

"Leave me."

"Ano?"

"I know you're not happy with me, donny. Alam ko na napipilitan ka lang.." her tears are already falling

"Claudia.."

"I'll be fine donny. Kung patatagalin pa natin to, pareho lang tayong hindi magiging masaya."

"Claudia you know i care for you.."

"I know. I care for you too kaya nga pinapakawalan na kita. Sina mom and dad lang naman din ang nagpumilit sa sitwasyon na ito. Ayokong nakikita kang nagdurusa sa piling ko, donny so leave me. I'm setting you and myself free.."

"Thank you claudia"

i leaned in and kissed her on the forehead.

FB ENDS

"Naiintindihan ko naman sina tita, ginagawa nila ang lahat para sa anak nila. Pero ngayon, i'm choosing my self. I'm choosing you"

"Donny you don't have too-"

"Shh.. I've waited for so long to tell you this"

He kissed mg forhead

"You and your moodswings..."

he kissed me in my left cheek

"Your attitude.."

Then kissed me on my right cheek..

"Your personality and charm.."

On the nose...

"Just being the real you..."

He kissed me.

right on the lips...

"Makes me want you to be with me more.."

Why can't he stop kissing me?

"And more..."

"One more kiss and i'll kick your ass"

Tinawanan niya ako at hinawi ang buhok ko.

"I love you, Belle Mariano"
