Andito ko sa room, at as usual wala si mark, hindi ko na talaga siya nakakausap ng maayos, or nakaka chikkahan, ang conversation na lang namin is puro about sa lessons, tatanong lang siya may assignment ba, tapos sesendan ko siya file, ganun na lang lagi, kaya medyo nasasanay na ako na wala siya sa tabi ko at wala na akong napag sasabihan ng mga minor inconveniences ko sa buhay. Nagulat na lang ako ng biglang sumulpot sa tabi ko si david
"Andun siya sa kabilang room, kasama si Yvonne, yun yung babae niya" sabi ni david at napatingin naman ako ng seryoso sa kaniya, ngayon ko lang nalaman yung name ng girl, actually kaya ko naman malaman agad yung information nung girl in just a day without any hint but her looks eh, its just that, i feel like I have already lost to her even before i knew her.
"I didn't ask. And besides I told you, you are my type, but I don't feel anything for you, not anything of that sort, not even kilig or shyness when you touch me or get near me, and its impossible for me,yet, to fall for you, I told you I have feelings for someone else" mahabang sabi ko sa kaniya at tumango tango lang siya sa akin na para bang wala siyang pake sa sinasabi ko, nasabi ko naman na kasi sa kaniya nung nag confess siya sa akin na may gusto akong tao, kaya wala siyang chance
"Yeah yeah, I know, even though si mark naman talaga yung nagugustuhan mo ayaw mo pang aminin, pero kakasabi mo lang, sabi mo yet, meaning once na you've had enough of that currently one sided love story, there's a possibility that you will fall for me with enough efforts. I can wait, specially for you" sabi niya at napa irap na lang ako sa kaniya
"Oh please, most of you guys say that to everyone you like, and without any assurance of a yes from the other person, and then pag napagod na kayo kakahintay kahit hindi naman sinabi sa inyo na mag antay kayo sasabihin niyo paasa kasi pinag antay kayo sa wala, i don't want any of that crap. " sabi ko sa kaniya at ang sira ulo ay tumawa lang at hinawakan ako bigla sa kamay
"I will wait, I promise" sabi niya at bigla niyang hinalikan ang kamay ko, nagulat naman akong ng may marahas na humigit sa kamay niya palayo sa akin
"Anong ginagawa mo sa bestfriend ko ha?!" Inis na sabi ni mark na bigla na lang sumulpot kung saan, nag smirk naman si david at kumindat sa akin
"Nililigawan ko, bakit?" Matapang na sabi ni david kay mark at tumayo siya at hinarap ito
"David balik ka na sa upuan mo" mahinahon kong sabi sa kaniya at ngumiti sa kaniya, ang mokong naman ay nagets agad ang meaning ng ngiti ko, buti mabilis maka gets tong lalakeng toh, at tumango naman siya at ginulo ang buhok ko bago bumalik sa pwesto niya, for some reason itong si mark eh sobrang sama ng tingin kay david
"Hi mark, i didn't know we were still friends" mataray na sabi ko sa kaniya at ngumiti na nang aasar, ang gunggong ay mas nagalit naman sa sinabi ko at umupo sa tabi ko
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Inis na sabi niya sa akin at hinawakan ng mahigpit ang braso ko, if he still think he's my friend, he should know what will happen to me and to him, when I'm provoked
"Darling, get your hands off of me, and do you not remember what i told you about provoking me?" Sabi niya at para naman siyang nagising sa katotohan at agad na binitawan ang kamay ko
"Sorry, pero bakit mo naman kasi sasabihin na hindi na tayo mag kaibigan" malumanay na sabi niya sa akin, parang aso tong si mark, umaamo bigla
"You literally have not talked to me for almost a month, nagkaruon ka lang ng babae, kinalimutan mo na ako, how dare you" sabi ko sa kaniya at napakamot na lang siya sa batok, napairap naman ako sa kaniya at tatayo sana ako ng hawakan niya ang kamay ko
"Sorry" sabi niya, inalis ko naman ang kamay niya sa pagkaka hawak sa akin at tumingin sa kaniya ng seryoso
"All you can say is sorry? Darling, Sorry is not some kind of ticket or permit that you need to be able to do something, sorry is for when you did something wrong and you actually feel bad about it and sorry is also a promise that whatever you did will never happen again... but if you keep saying sorry, while still doing what you did, then you're not sorry at all" mahabang sabi ko sa kaniya, totoo naman eh, lagi na lang siyang nagso sorry tapos ang ending ganun din, tapos magso sorry na lang uli siya, ginawa niya nang permit ang salitang sorry para magkamali siya ng magkamali
"From now on never say sorry to me, if you don't mean it, and I'll be invalidating all the promises you have made with or for me, since this is how you act when you have a girl. Out of sight, out of mind" sabi ko sa kaniya at naglabas na lang ng papel para mag drawing
"Just so you know, I've had 2 manliligaw ever since you've been away, and I have rejected both. One is kael, and the second one is david." Sabi ko na lang sa kaniya at nakita ko naman sa side ang pagka inis bigla ni mark, i don't know if nagkausap na kami about dito, pero everytime na muntikan na kami sumabog, siya lagi ang unang nag baback down, i mean yung parehas kami galit pero siya yung unang aatras
"Bakit hindi mo subukang ilabas sa akin ang galit mo? Para parehas tayong sumabog? Bakit ayaw mong nag aaway tayo?" Sunod sunod na tanong ko sa kaniya agad namang nawala ang inis sa mukha niya at napalitan ng ngiti
"Its simple, there's two answers to that, pinaka una ayokong mawala ka sa akin, pangalawa you are the best person to have as a friend and the worst to have as an enemy. I love you, but the thought of you going ballistic on me, scares the shit out of me" sabi niya sa akin at napangiti naman ako, the usual cheesiness niya, na miss ko yun, pero hindi malabong hindi niya uli ako pansinin or kausapin after this, specially wala pa siyang nababangit na anything about sa girl niya.
"Maybe I'll give one of them a chance" bulong ko sa sarili ko, kasi why not diba, I'm not with someone, however I'm into someone, but that someone have someone else, if things works out then it'll be a win-win situation
"No" madiin na sabi ni mark at napatingin naman ako sa kaniya at tinaasan siya ng kilay
"Excuse me? I had nor have a say about your girl, and you have a say to my boys?" Sabi ko sa kaniya, emphasizing the word boys, since i do have more than one suitor
"Just listen to me, you have been hurt by kael, and you don't know this david guy" sabi niya at napairap na lang ako sa kaniya, kung ano ano lang sinasabi eh
"With that logic, you also didn't know who that girl was or is, and manliligaw nga eh, di ko naman sinabing sasagutin ko agad, sabi ko I'll give them a chance, but that doesn't mean they'll be able to pursue me, I'm a bitch and only a few could handle me, well few is a bit overstated, its you, the only one who could handle me" sabi ko sa kaniya ang mokong ngiting ngiti sa huli kong sinabi, parang yun lang yung naintindihan sa lahat ng sinabi ko
"So may chance ako?" Biglang sulpot ni david sa gilid namin, napatingin naman ng masama itong si mark kay david
"Yes, you do"
