Chapter 10

"What the hell is the meaning of this?!"

Umalis sa pag-kakayakap saakin si Clio at gulat na tinignan si Andie. Habang nag-titinginan silang dalawa, linunok ko na ang kinakain ko.

"So you found someone new?" Pag-sisimula ni Andie.

Huhulaan ko, magkakaroon nanaman ng away rito.

"What do you mean that I found someone new?" Clio replied.

"That girl, Sera. Why are you hugging her? Is it because of what happened earlier? You dare replace me with that transferee?" Andie said while glaring at me.

"I hugged her because I was worried, Andie. And I'm not replacing you. Can you please stop thinking things like that?" Clio answered back.

"And why would I? Bakit ako titigil sa kaka-isip ng ganun kung ngayon palang you're making me thinking things like that?!

Dahan-dahan akong uminom ng tubig at tumayo sa upuan ko ngunit hinatak ako ni Clio pabalik sa kinauupuan ko, which made Andie more mad. Ngunit ng bubuksan na sana ni Andie ang kanyang bibig para mag-salita ay inunahan na siya ni Clio.

"Why is it every time I tried to make friends with other people, you always get mad at me. Like what do you want?! Why are you always interfering every time I try to make friends?!" Paglalabas ng damdamin ni Clio.

When she said those sentences, I felt sad... for her. Imagine, you want to make friends but you never had that freedom because of your "best friend".

But who am I to judge Andie? Who am i to interfere Clio's life? But even though I'm just a nobody for the both of them, I have feelings too. Nararamdaman ko rin kung anong nararamdaman ni Clio. Alam ko yung sakit na nararamdaman niya ngayon.

"Because I am your best friend! I'm just scared... na baka may mahanap ka ng bago ta's iiwan mo ako tulad ng dati kong best friend..." Andie's voice cracked at the end.

Pagkatapos niyang bitawan ang mga salitang 'yon, Clio looked at her shockingly. As if this is the first time she heard about this from Andie.

"Nevermind. Just pretend that you never heard what I just said." Sabi ni Andie, sabay lumabas sa silid.

Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa ni Clio pero tumalikod siya at hindi nag-salita.

"Ayos kalang ba?" Pagtatanong ko sakaniya.

Malamang hindi, ano ka ba naman Sera!

Oo alam kong hindi siya ok, kaso malay mo... mailalabas niya ang kanyang nararamdaman kung tinanong ko siya.

"Oo naman. Ayos na ayos ako. It's nothing to me anymore, so you don't have to worry about it." Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya.

"Ok kalang ba talaga o nag-papanggap kalang na ok ka?" Pag-tatanong ko sakaniya.

"Yes, I'm fine. Atsaka bakit mo ba tinatanong kung ok lang ba ako? I mean- who are you to be worried about me?" Sabi niya habang umuupo. Nag-patuloy siya sa pag-kakain.
