WALANG imikan sa loob ng condo si MC at Tristan. Aalis na sana si MC nang hatakin ito ni Trist ang siko ng dalaga at niyakap ng mahigpit.
"Love.."
Love? Ngayon, love na ulit? Na parang kanina ay "Babe" ang tawag niya rito. Para silang nagp-plastikang dalawa. At ayaw ni Maria Celestine.
Napapagod si MC, kaya kahit subukan niyang magpumiglas siya ay nanghihina siya. Ang daming nangyaring ngayong araw at wala siyang oras sa iba pang bagay. Ang gusto niya lang ay matulog at pahingahin ang damdamin niya.
"Love.. please," ungot ni Tristan
"I'm tired, Tristan, not now please." MC tried to understand, but she can't. She need to rest.
Malakas na napabuntong hininga si Tristan, "That is nothing, love. Don't give the meaning of the previous one, she's a transfer student who needs someone to hang out with. Let's start with a conversation, love. Please, I don't want to sleep with resentment for each other."
Si MC naman ang napabuntong hininga. Ang kulit, ano bang hindi niya maintindihan sa pagod ito. Ngayon lang, gusto niyang matulog ng panatag. Mabigat, sobrang bigat sa dibdib.
"Go, explain."
Napangiti si Tristan sa sinaad ng kasintahan.
"I had earlier toured her for about 30 minutes because I only showed her the important places in Chez High, but I heard her stomach rumble and she said she hadn't eaten yet, so she took me out to CNHS to eat nearby fastfood park on May Avenue. It's as humiliating as refusing to eat." pag-explain ni Tristan.
'You didn't call me, love. Please explain.'
"We talked way too much about her life in Paris. She also likes to joke, and she's so lame and clumsy that I can't help but laugh at what she's saying. Alam mo bang magaling din siya sa arts, katulad mo? We took a picture. Yours are painting while she was in digital arts and she said she would make a portrait of us because she had a copy of our pictures. That will excite me because of the opposition to what she will do; I'll see if my face looks more like the one you painted previously. She is als—" dagdag pa nito ng nakangiti pero pinutol na ito ni MC.
"Matagal niyo na bang kilala ang isa't-isa?" Singit na tanong ni Maria Celestine.
"N-no."
'You lied. You disappoint me, love, for the first time, you lied. You compared.'
NAKANGITI ngayon si Tristan habang kayakap si MC sa kanilang kama. They're cuddle again, and he loves it.
"Love, I have a question." Biglang utal ni Maria Celestine.
Nagkaroon naman ng multong ngiti sa labi ni Tristan, ito na naman kasi siya, magtatanong na naman ng mga weird na bagay na hindi niya maintindihan.
"Basta, wag lang math ah." pabirong ngisi ng binata.
Tumango-tango naman si MC.
"What if I fall out of love, what will you do? Paano kung hindi na kita mahal at may iba na akong mahal, ano ng gagawin mo?"
Kumunot naman ang noo ni Tristan, 'What kind of question is that? The answer is obvious.'
"Kung masaya ka naman, then I will set you free. Ayaw kitang itali kung hindi na ako. We will have our closure first, bago siguro kita pakawalan. Of course, if we really work and destined to each other, then no one will fall out of love." tango-tango pang sagot ni Tristan.
Ngumiti ng maliit si MC at bumulong, "Alright, let's sleep."
'Don't be so proud to your answer, Tristan. If the one of us just fell out of love, don't leave, don't give up because that's how true love starts..'
