"Hoii bakla, hindi porke't kaibigan mo kami ay magpapalate kana ahh!"-bungad sa akin ni Ry.

"Tsk, nagtext naman ako eh," sagot ko at inilapag ang bag ko tsaka umupo. "At tsaka wala namang customer."- dagdag ko.

"May maraming customer kanina ano, tse! At anong nangyari sayo aber? Bakit para kang pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa sa itsura mo?"- tanong niya. Napabuntong hininga ako at napayuko. "Anong inaarte arte mo diyan bakla ahh? Hinatid ka na nga ng jowa mo ohh. Akalain mo yon, iyong crush mo naging iyo naks ang haba ng buhok mo bakla. Where have you been by the way?"- tudyo nila pero hindi ko magawang tumawa.

"Kumain."- sagot ko. "What will you do if the one you love denied you?"- dagdag kong tanong. Napasinghap naman sila.

"Ohhmygod, don't tell me he denied you?!"-sigaw ni Jess. Tsk.

"Tanga ba ako kung sinabi kong ayos lang at naiintindihan ko siya kung bakit niya iyon ginawa?"

"Ha! Hindi ka lang tanga, baliw ka pa. My God Angela! Love should be proud and does not deny, you know that."

"But he doesn't love me."

"What?!"- they said in unison.

"Eh bakit naging kayo? Sabihin mo nga sa amin, niligawan ka ba ng lalaking 'yon? Bakit hindi namin alam? Kailan lang?"- tanong ni RJ. Napasimangot ako, ang daming tanong. Tama bang nagtanong ako? Tsk.

"Hindi niya ako niligawan. Hindi niyo maintindihan ang rason ko kaya wag niyo nang tanungin kung bakit."

"Hindi na nga, kasi alam namin. Alam naming marupok ka! Baklang to!"-nakasimangot niyang sabi. Sakto namang may pumasok na tatlong babae. Kaedad ko lamang sila o di kaya ay mas bata sa akin ng ilang taon.

"Good morning mga madam. Anong satin?"- maarte bati ni Ry. "Hindi pa tayo tapos babae ka."- bulong niya sakin. " Umupo ka lang muna diyan, isipin mo ang problema mo at nang mabaliw ka."- natatawa niyang dagdag.

"Bwesit ka!"- singhal ko. Natatawa naman siyang umalis at inaasikaso ang mga customer.
Napakamot ako sa aking noo. I should not be thinking that. From the very start, I know that he's not serious and yet I still choose to be with him. It is my fault and there's no turning back. Marupok na kung marupok.

"Ayos ka lang?"

Napaangat ako ng tingin, it was Drew. "Yeah, I think so." -sagot ko. Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay kaya natawa ako. "Bakla."- napapailing kong sabi ngunit nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang bigla niyang inilapit ang kanyang mukha. "Hoii anong ginagawa mo?"- kinakabahan kong sabi.

"I'm not a gay, kaya wag mo akong susubukan Angela dahil hindi ako magdadalawang isip na halikan ka ngayon mismo."- mahina niyang sabi.

"W-what do you mean?"

"You immediately caught my attention when I first saw you and yet I still choose not to entertain it. I know that you only want friendship from me so that's what I've given to you."-sabi niya, nagulat naman ako. Damn! What did just he said? "Isn't that obvious that I like you?"- natatawa niyang sabi sabay layo sakin. Napailing naman ako.

"Is this a kind of a prank or what? I can't believe you. Are you true?"

"Depende sa pagkakaintindi mo. Whether you believe that it's true or not the truth will never change."- sabi niya. "You better be okay, Angela. You should be thankful."-dagdag niya.

"Bakit?"

"Because you've experienced to be hurt.... and that means that you love. You've experienced what is true love is."

"How did you say that? Ano ba ang true love?"-tanong ko. Natawa naman siya.

"Your feelings for him is one of the example of true love, Angela. You wouldn't notice it but the people around you."- nakangiti niyang sabi. "It is true love when you love someone more than you love yourself."

"No, that's not possible."

"It is, Angela. You wouldn't allow yourself to be with someone who  doesn't loves you if you don't. You're hurting your own heart because you're risking it for him."- paliwanag niya. Napatahimik naman ako. "It is true love when you accept and love his flaws and imperfections. Isn't that what you're doing? You have knowledge about him for being a playboy, for being a womanizer and yet you still love him."

"It is because I don't need reasons to love him. There's a lot of reason to not love him, Drew but it does not allow me to not love him."- sagot ko. Tiningnan niya ako at may kung anong emosyon akong nakita sa kanyang mga mata.

"True love is when you became a selfless person." - he said. "And that is what I'm doing. Be happy so I'll be okay. I'll be right behind you."- nakangiti niyang sabi.

"Seryoso ka talaga sa sinabi mo?"- Hindi makapaniwala ko paring tanong.

Ngumiti siya. "When I knew that you're into with someone, I didn't believe it. I didn't saw someone with you and then recently I saw you with A."- kwento niya tsaka umupo sa tabi ko.

"Who's A?"

"Anthon. His name start with letter A."

"Why A? Do you know him?"

"Ofcourse, we're bestfriend...well, before."-sabi niya. Bigla akong napalingon sa kanya.

"Wait- what?!"- sigaw ko. His revelations made my head ache.

"We were classmates since pre-school and we're bestfriend since then. When we got in highschool, we met a girl. He told me that he like her, I'm happy for him. He made a plan to court her but later on we found out that the girl likes me. I don't know what happened but I slowly like her too. He was so upset and mad to the both of us. He felt betrayed. He was avoiding me until we graduate and I never had a chance to talk to him again. I know I was an asshole to court her."- kwento niya. Hindi parin ako makapaniwala.

"Hoii, kayong dalawa ang sarap ng buhay ah kwentohan lang? Nako, ano pinag-usapan niyo ah?"- sigaw ni Jessie.

"Wala kang paki!"- sagot ko natawa naman ang ibang bakla.
"Hindi ako makapaniwala, jusko, so asan na iyong babae?"

"She cheated on me, so I broke up with her. And then faith maybe playing us again. We met and fell in love with you and when I knew that it's A who you love... "- Sabi niya, napailing siya at tiningnan ako. "I don't want to make another mistake again."- dagdag niya. "When she cheated on me, I realize that friendship is more important to me. I just loss the person who treated me like his own brother."

"Bakit hindi mo subukang kausapin siya?"- tanong ko. Masyadong komplikado ang nalaman ko ngayon. Hindi ko ito inaasahan, napakamapaglaro talaga ng tadhana.

"Hmm, there's a right time for that but for now, understand him. Now that you knew where he came from maybe you can  understand why he's been like that. I'm not trying to say that you need to endure all the pain that he caused and will cause to you but atleast widen your understanding for him. He needs it."- sabi niya napangiti naman ako.

"I will be glad if you two can talk and fix things." - nakangiti kong sabi.

"Me too, tsk namiss ko rin iyong mokong na 'yon eh. You know, I felt guilty. I felt like I was one of the reason why he became like that."

"Angela, ikaw muna dito please? Masakit ang tiyan ko, mygod manganganak na ako."- sabi ni RJ. Napasimangot ako. Gague.

"Sige." - sagot ko. "Palitan ko lang si RJ." - paalam ko, tumango naman siya. Hindi parin ako makapaniwala sa mga naririnig ko. Faith has really have its own way. You can't predict and you just need to go on with the flow.

To be continued,
