Inalalayan sya ni Blue papasok sa kotse nito at umikot ito sa driver's seat. She's trying so hard not to cry in front of her best friend.
"Red..." Huminga ito ng malalim. She looked at him.
"Just take me anywhere Blue. Anywhere far from them. Please..."
Parang 'di nya kayang huminga pag nasa malapit lang ang dalawa. It's suffocating as hell!
Nag drive naman agad si Blue paalis sa plaza.
"I want you to be honest with me Andromeda! We promised each other! No secrets, right? What the fuck is going on?" Blue's jaw moved aggressively! He's mad!
Nag ring ang cellphone nya. She gasped when she saw Oliver calling! Mabilis itong naagaw ni Blue at inoff.
"I thought it's nothing serious Red! Pero tangina! Bakit nagkaka ganyan ka?!" Galit nitong hinampas ang manibela.
Napatalon sya sa kinauupuan pero tuloy tuloy nang bumuhos ang luha nya.
"I'm sorry Blue! I didn't know that I'm already taking it seriously...s-sorry..." She sobbed harder.
"He's our friend Andromeda! Kaibigan at ka trabaho ng mga pinsan mo! Ano na lang ang sasabihin nila pag nalaman nilang nakikipag relasyon ka sa taong ikakasal na?"
"Please don't tell my cousins! They don't have to know. I'll deal with this on my own..." Kumuha ng tissue sa compartment si Blue at galit na inabot sa kanya.
"Did you... already..." Blue inhaled sharply before asking her. "May nangyari na ba sa inyo??"
Napalingon sya sa gawi nito. She saw his bloodshot eyes. She swallowed the lump on her throat and breathed heavily. Hindi sya makapag salita.
"Nevermind Red! I already know the answer!" He looked disappointed.
Tumulo na naman ang luha nya. She remembered their first night. Ganun sya kabilis bumigay! Wala pa nga silang label! Samantalang ni hindi nga maka score sa kanya noon si Peter kahit boyfriend nya na! Ang tanga tanga nya talaga!
"Tangina Red! Ang tagal kitang iningatan! Bibigay ka lang sa gagong yun!"
Huminto ang kotse ni Blue sa tapat ng park sa bayan ng Sta. Rosa, katabing bayan lang ng DelaRosa.
Napanganga sya sa sinabi nito.
"What do you m-mean?" Mahinang tanong nya.
"I used to love you Red... matagal na! Tangina! But I tried... I fucking tried so hard to keep it... 'coz I know you won't love me back! I know you only see me as a best friend!" A lone tear fell from his eye and immediately wiped it.
"W-what? How?" Lalo syang naiyak sa sinabi nito. Her mind is in chaos right now!
"You were in High School... kayo pa ni Oliver... I respected your choice to have a relationship with him kahit napaka bata mo pa. I told myself na iingatan na lang kita hanggang sa mapunta ka sa tamang tao... pero tangina! Kay Oliver pa talaga! Swerte naman ng gagong yun Andromeda! Tanga mo rin eh..."
Napayuko sya sa sinabi nito. "I know. Tanga talaga ako. I'm pathetic, right?"
Binuksan nya ang pinto ng kotse at tinungo ang isang bench na pinaka malapit sa pwesto nila.
The park is quiet. Sila lang ni Blue ang andun. Siguro pati mga taga Sta. Rosa ay manonood ngayon sa DelaRosa.
Bumaba din si Blue at umupo sa tabi nya. He held her hand and squeezed it tightly. She held his gaze.
"Galit ka ba sa'kin?" Blue asked her.
Umiling lang sya. Dumadaloy pa rin ang luha sa mga mata.
"I'm sorry, Red. For... for keeping my feelings for so long. But I've moved on already. Believe me. Nasasaktan lang ako ngayon kasi... a-ayoko talagang nakikita kang ganyan."
