"You slept in his unit? OMG! You slept with Sebastian?"

I rolled my eyes when I heard her tantrums. I was preparing my coffee when she came to my unit after I texted her about what happened earlier.

"You make it sound that we had sex, Faye." I annoyingly answered because of her exaggerated reaction

"One more thing, it wasn't my first time in his unit. Nakapunta na ako doon before during college, but still it was my first time sleeping there." I added

She then looked at me, wide eyes and a mouth overdramatically being open na tila ba malalamon niya buong unit ko dahil sa sobrang laki ng nganga.

"So you saying that you already had gone there before? So college pa lang, hindi ka na virgin?!" she asked with a loud voice, nilagay pa ang kamay sa sentido na akala mo naman mahihimatay

"One more nonsence words coming out from your mouth Faye, masasabuyan na talaga kita nitong kapeng bagong timpla ko." Iritado kong wika sa kaniya

She immediately changed her expression and faked her laugh coming to me. She jokingly slap my arms before she asked again.

"Pero seryoso, hindi mo sinabi sa akin na nakapunta ka na pala doon before."

Huminga ako ng malalim bago ko siya sinagot, "I never told anyone, Faye. The first time na nakapunta ako doon was when he got sick, I happened to be some concern citizen of the Philippines and brought him some medicines. Second was when he brought me there because he forgot his phone. Nothing more, nothing less." I answered

Tumawa siya sa naging sagot ko, "Kidding, pero curious ako ha, alam mo talagang kwarto niya iyon?" ngising tanong nya sa akin

"Of course, Faye. May mga mata ako at nakapasok ako once doon kasi curious lang kung anong kwarto nya at isa pa yung kwarto lang nya ang alam kong grey at black and theme ng colors. Sa iyo puro pink, kay Kai naman at sa akin puti. Gets mo?"

Natawa ulit siya at iyon ang nakapairitado sa akin lalo. Hindi ko alam kung saan ang nakakatawa sa sinabi ko.

"Ang cold ng sagot mo ha. Move-on na talaga?" tanong nya

I looked at my coffee at uminom ng konti bago sumagot sa tanong ni Faye, "Noon pa, Faye. I realized years ago that I should forget about him. Isa pa, after he goes to States, he immediately posted and showed the world about his relationship with his fiancée after what happened between us na tila ban a hinintay nya na lang na mawala ako. I guess he really was playing with me all along. Those sunflowers he gave me before and the regrets that I once felt kasi hindi ko siya nakausap noon, I throw it all. I regretted that I once felt it. Kasi sa aming dalawa, ako yung naniwala. Sa aming dalawa, ako yung umasa."

Umalis na din si Faye dahil may gagawin pa daw siya. At dahil day-off ko, I spent my time cleaning the unit and doing the laundry at ng natapos ako ay maaga akong kumain at natulog.

When morning came, as usual ay 6 palang ay umalis na ako para umiwas sa traffic at makapasok ng maaga sa trabaho. Agad akong pumunta sa office at nakitang ako palang ang nakarating. I opened my computer and arranging the papers that I need to do today. Ilang minute ang nagdaan ay nagsimula na ding dumating ang mga kaworkmates ko.
