"Bakit si Gio? Sorry! I mean-- are you sure of what you really feel towards him? "

"I don't know" nalilitong sagot niya.

''My Gosh! Jeemie! That makes even worst!"

"Maybe because.... everyone likes him"

"That's not counted. You can't eventually say that. It's because majority likes him you will feel the same thing. You should true to yourself of what you really feel"

" I don't know Klen. Its sounds crazy but I really don't know when this feelings starts. I just woke up one morning realizing that I have this something weird feelings towards him. Maybe because he has this guts that different among the other man I know"she said

Mariin akong pumikit.

Hindi ko maaring i-discourage si Jeemie.

Ayokong dagdagan pa ang hinalang bumabagabag sa isipan niya. Nakapag-bitaw na ako ng salita sa kanya.

Ayokong malaman niya ang lihim ko.

Kilala ko si Jeemie lalo na ang personality niya.

She's quite Territorial.

We might be friends but were quite different. Jeemie always shows her own perceptions or what she really feel on something she like or dislike- unlike me.

Its not just because I'm afraid to her--because I don't want to hurt myself. I always admit that I'm quite cautious to do something that can hurt me and Jeemie is my counterpat kapag gusto niya ay walang makakapigil sa kanya.

"That's all??" I asked her again

"Mmm. Yeah! Ang hirap e-explain basta all I know is gusto ko na siya"

Habang nakikinig sa mga sagot niya ay parang may mga karayom na tumutusok-tusok sa dibdib ko.

I couldn't blame her kung magkagusto siya kay Gio.

Sino ba namang hindi?

Hindi naman sa kagwapuhang ang unggoy na yun.

Mataas lang siguro yong dating niya sa mga babae.

"How about Potcholo? I thought you're in-relationship with him-?"

"We broke up"sagot niya agad

I gasp.

Parang hindi ako makapaniwala. Pa-paanung nangyari yon?

They were good together since first year.

Alam ko yun dahil ako nga yong tulay nilang dalawa. Sa tuwing mag-de-date sila. Ako palagi ang chaperon.

Nakaka-inggit nga yong relationship nilang dalawa.

"For real?"

"Yes, for real. Last two weeks ago "

"Because of what you feel towards Gio?"

Bahagya siyang tumango bilang sagot sa akin. "Ayokong lokohin si Potcholo. Mahalaga rin siya sakin pero mas matimbang yong nararamdaman ko para kay Gio''

"Hindi ka ba natatakot? Alam naman natin pareho na marami siyang girlfriend"

"I don't mind. Flings lang naman niya ang mga 'yon"

"Kahit na limang taon ang tanda niya sayo?"

"Yeah. Age doesn't matter when you like someone, Klen. You don't have to think his age if you feel something special to that person"

Mapait na ngumiti ako sa kanya.

Jeemie is always Jeemie.

Walang pakialam.
