"Babe, do you want to go on vacation with me? Ang daming magagandang spots sa province ng grandparents ko and they told me na isama kita."

One week ng hindi nagparamdaman si Lisa sa akin. No text, not even a call. I'm dying to see her. Kahit ang Mommy niya ayaw sabihin sa akin kung nasaan siya. Even her friends have no idea where she went.

"Babe, what do you think?"

After we shared our kiss, we didn't talk about what happened. Ihinatid niya lang ako sa bahay at umalis na without even looking at me - without even telling me anything! Tapos bigla na lang siyang nawala.

I'm gonna kill her kapag nakita ko siya. I swear!

"Jen.."

"What?!" Naiinis kong sagot kay Bobby. Wala ako sa mood pero siya itong makulit at nagpunta pa talaga dito sa bahay.

"You're not listening, Jen. Kanina pa ako nagsasalita."

"Bobby, I told you I'm not in the mood today. Ang dami kong iniisip ngayon. Pwede ba wag ka ng dumagdag pa!"

"Dumagdag? What? Wait.. Is it about Lisa again?!"

"So what?! She's my bestfriend for godsake, Bobby! Normal lang na mag-alala ako sa kanya!"

"I know, Jen. Pero sana naman intindihin mo din yung nararamdaman ko! Ilang araw ka ng ganyan, ilang araw na mainit ang ulo mo. Why? Because of that fckng Lisa! Don't tell me may nararamdaman ka na sa kanya?!"

Hindi ako nagsalita at tiningnan lang siya. Nonsense makipagtalo sa kanya. He bitterly laughed and gave me a disgusting look.

Don't go there, Bobby. Don't say anything stupid about Lisa. I swear..

"Oh wow! Damn it, Jen! Have you lost your fcking mind?! She's a girl, it's disgusting!" My hand slipped and slapped him hard. Nagulat siya sa ginawa ko. Alam kong masakit yung ginawa ko kasi nag-init ang palad ko, pero wala na akong pakialam.

"I may be out of my fcking mind but don't you dare look down on Lisa." Kinuha ko ang engagement ring sa bulsa ko at ibinalik sa kanya.

"Kung ngayon pa lang ganyan na ang ugali mo, what more kung magpatali ako sayo? Matagal ko ng alam ang sagot, Bobby. I gave you time to change. You always looked down on Lisa and this time hindi ko na mapapalagpas yun. She's the one who encouraged me to talk to you. She's the one who kept pushing me to you pero ikaw? All you did was to talk shit on her. Hindi na ako tanga para ipagpatuloy pa kung anong meron tayo. It's over."
