Right after knowing that they were Eya's best friends, I immediately waited on the corner of the street close to their school.

"Krishia!" pagtawag ko nang dumaan sila sa harapan ko. Agad naman silang natigilan nang mapagtanto nila kung sino ako.

"I-Ikaw 'yong Zach, 'di ba?"

I nodded. Alam kong kilala nila ako. They went closer to me.

"Anong problema mo?" mataray na bungad niyong Maxene. She was giving me the real bad bitch vibes.

Napabuntong-hininga ako saka napababa ng tingin. "A-About Eya..."

They looked interested when I said those words that's why they leaned closer to me.

"Zach, tigilan mo na si Eya," the chubby girl said with an instance. Alam kong iyon ang sasabihin nila pero hindi ko in-expect na di-diretsuhin niya nang ganoon.

"I love her," nasambit ko nang wala sa sarili. Ang naalala ko lamang noong mga oras na iyon ay ang ngiti ni Eya sa aking isipan.

"Mahal mo si Eya? E, hindi mo nga kayang ayusin muna ang sarili mo. Tingin mo gugustuhin ka ni Eya sa ganiyang t-trabaho?" Krishia said while gasping for air.

"I... I know. Kung alam niyo lang, gusto kong maging better para sa kaniya." I looked at them one by one with sincerity.

"E 'di patunayan mo," diretsang saad ni Maxene. I don't know what to say. Nanatili akong tahimik.

"Bakit nga pala hindi niyo sinabi kay Eya ang tungkol sa akin?" I asked out of the blue when I remembered Eya.

"Sabi ni Pat, e," Krishia said while pointing at the chubby girl.

"Gusto kong ikaw mismo ang magsabi sa kaniya. Kung talagang mahal mo siya, ikaw mismo ang magpapakilala ng sarili mo."

I gulped at what she had said. Her eyes were like a ball of fire ready to hit me anytime. Among the three of them, she had this strict vibes.

"I... I'm sorry," sinserong sambit ko habang tinitignan sila nang mata sa mata. I knew that a sorry will never be enough, but that was all I can do that time.

"Okay lang."

I was shocked with Maxene's reply. I didn't expect that from her. I thought that they will shout at me and call me names, but they were far different from my imaginations.

"Alam naming may rason ka kung bakit mo nagawa 'yon," pagsingit ni Pat.

Krishia just smiled at me, like a comfort. "Hindi naman kami judgerist para husgahan ka. Siguro, sa hirap lang din talaga ng buhay. Tigilan mo na lang siguro at mamuhay nang marangal." She smiled after saying those words.

I felt like I was about to cry when I saw them smiling at me, like they doesn't have any anger towards me. I felt comfort during that moment. Then, I realized that... it was the right time to change.

All of our memories together will always be treasured by my mind.

That moment when we first met at MOA. I knew that she was literally upset that time because of what happened to her dress, but she managed to smile at me.

Sa totoo lang, ayoko talagang yayain siya noon sa Starbucks, kaso nakakahiya at baka sabihin, ang cheap ko. Lalo pa't mataas ang standard niya sa lalaki. Nakikita ko pa ang mga pagpaparinig niya sa mga shared posts.

That moment when I first brought her to Manila Bay so she can be comfortable being with me. The golden sun rays that flashes in her beautiful face. Hinding-hindi ko kayang malimutan ang gandang taglay niya noong araw na iyon. Simple, pero masarap pagmasdan.
