Stef's POV
The travel is a long one. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit ako sumama sa outing na 'to. To think na hindi ko naman ka-close 'tong mga kasama ko. Pero I felt na this trip is something na di ko dapat mamiss. Feeling ko, marami ang mangyayari, marami ang magbabago after this. And besides, nandito naman ang dalawa kong bestfriends... err... used to be bestfriends pala.
I just ended the complicated relationship I had with Aaron yesterday. It was... a hard decision. I told him that I just want us to be friends na lang. That moment, I wanted to take back what I've said. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit. I thought of this scene a long many times. I didn't expect na makakaramdam ako ng sakit. I thought okay na sa'kin ang lahat, na tanggap ko na, na hindi na ako maaapektuhan. Pero nung hindi niya ako sagutin kung mahal pa niya ako... I felt my world falling apart. Kaya lang ba niya ako pinagtitiisang suyuin to compensate on what he did to me before? Hindi na ba talaga niya ako mahal?
Lorence: Stef!
Stef: Oh, Lorence. Ikaw pala.
Lorence: Anong ginagawa mo rito at mag-isa ka lang? Tara! Kumain na tayo. Hapon na tsaka mahaba pa ang byahe mamaya.
It's past 2pm na at nandito kami sa may Roro port. Everyone are gathered in a nearby karinderya. I was left here sa van. Never ko pa na-experience kumain sa tabi-tabi and I wonder why niyayaya ako nitong si Lorence to think na mas maarte pa 'to sa'kin.
Lorence: Okay ka lang ba? Hindi ka ba nagugutom?
Stef: Sige, kayo na lang. May chips pa naman dito eh.
Lorence: Hindi nakakabusog 'yan!
Stef: Lorence, ayoko.
Lorence: Sasamahan na lang kita.
Stef: Hindi ka kakain?
Lorence: Kumain na ako ng onti.
Stef: Ahh.. Nga pala, hindi pa pala ako nakapag-sorry sa'yo.
Lorence: Sorry sa'n?
Stef: Hmm.. Yung nangyari sa bar. You know, hindi ko alam kung ano 'yung pinagsasabi ko sa'yo that time pero I swear, I meant nothing. I didn't mean to offend you or --
Lorence: It's alright. Ano ka ba? That's what friends are for, you know.
Stef: Kahit na.. I'm sorry.
Lorence: Wala nga 'yun.
Stef: Hindi lang dahil dun. I'm sorry for everything.
Lorence: Stef, look. We're friends. I understand you. What's done was done. It's all in the past now.
Stef: Lorence... Masama ba akong tao?
Lorence: No! Of course not. Sino nagsabi niyan?
Stef: So why am I pushing everyone away?
Lorence: H-ha?
Stef: It's not working.
Lorence: What?! With Aaron? Why? Yung lalaking yun talaga!
He stood and got off the van. I know what he's thinking. He's gonna confront Aaron so I stopped him before he make a scene.
Stef: Lorence! Lorence, wag! It's me. Ako ang tumapos, hindi siya. Wala siyang kasalanan.
Lorence: What is it this time, Stef? Akala ko ba... akala ko ba okay kayo?
Stef: Wala na.
Lorence: H-ha?
Stef: Hindi na namin mababalik yung dati. Wala na.
Lorence: Eh bakit ka pa niya sinuyo?! Bakit pinaasa ka na naman nya?!
