Hindi ako makapaniwala....

He said sorry. He sound sincere and i know he mean it because i know him so well. Looking at him now feels like i saw the real Andrei, the Andrei that i used to know.

I admit at first I was hesitant to believe him pero habang sinasabi nya ang mga salitang yun, alam kong totoo yun.

Sinabi nya yun while pouting and to be honest that was really his thing noon pa man.

Tiningnan ko sya sa mukha at pinipigilan ko ang sarili kong hindi matawa sa itsura nya. Ngumunguso with matching nagpapaawang mata pa.

"Huy Darwin, tagal mo naman sumagot, bati na tayo". He said again pouting his lips excessively.

And lord knows how hard for me na pigilan ang tawa ko sa itsura nya.

"Huy Darwin, sincere na nga ako e. If you're doubting me na baka pinaprank lang kita, nagkakamali ka dun". Pag-uulit pa nya. Kaya nagsalita na ko.

"Okay fine! Alam mo galit parin ako sayo Andrei!!! Inis na inis!!! Pero dahil you said sorry already, i think i should........". Napatigil muna ko ng ilang saglit.

Tama ba tong desisyon ko? Bahala na nga!

"I think i should forgive you now. Alangan namang magmamatigas pa ako, apology accepted". Pagsuko ko nalang at agad kong nakita ang pagbabago ng expression nya mula sa pagngunguso hanggang sa maluwag na ngiti.

At bigla nalang itong nangyakap. And i wasn't prepared for that. I was dumbfounded... Literally the same feeling nung niyakap nya ko nung pinipilit kami ni tita Siesta to recreate our childhood picture.

Then agad din syang bumitaw sa pagkakayakap at napakamot sya sa kanyang batok.

This feeling ... Yung parang nabingi ka kahit walang ingay, yung parang lumulutang ka pero wala ka naman sa tubig, yung parang lumilipad ka pero wala ka namang pakpak. Then suddenly bigla ko nalang naramdaman ang kakaibang pagtibok ng puso ko. Sobrang bilis nun na naging dahilan para magising ako sa aking pag-iisip.

Haays ano ba tong nararamdaman ko jusko...

"So ano nga yung dahilan?". Ang nasabi ko nalang nang nahimasmasan na ako.

He told me his reasons. He told me a lot of his past. He told me that because of a gay, their relationship with Kelly was destroyed. Ngayon alam ko na kung bakit nya ko pinalalayo sa kanya at kung bakit ganun nalang yung galit nya sakin.

He also admitted that he felt jealous nang maging close kami ni Xylver.

I was about to ask him what did he meant jealous but he eventually explained that he doesn't want me to get close or be friends with someone. And i was thinking about why he don't want me to be friends with others?

But i understand him for that. Ang importante ay okay na ulit kami. At least di na malabong maging friends ulit kami.

And speaking of friends...

"Darwin, now that we're okay, can we be friends again? As close....... As we were?". Sabi nya.

I know that he's still a good person and I'm sure he'll become a good friend as he was before, so why not?
