"Break na kayo?!" I asked him with so much concern but deep inside, I was celebrating.

"Yes, bro. Tara, shot puno!"

Tama bang nasisiyahan ako sa pagiging broken hearted ng bestfriend ko? It felt so wrong.

"Hay nako! Liquor is not the answer to that, bro."

"But it's the only way to forget about her," his eyes were bloodshot. I pursed my lips.

"I understand. I can't go with you, kasi strict ang parents ko. Take care na lang." I gave him a comforting smile to ease the jealousy I am feeling.

Bestfriend lang ako. I will never be his boyfriend. Hanggang kaibigan lang talaga.

Everything changed when his ex came. Ang dating hangout namin sa plaza para kumain ng siomai ay naging date nila. I used to give him snacks and meals because I know he won't eat unless I'll give him food to eat.

I used to take care of him -wipe his sweat whenever he plays basketball, offer my umbrella everytime it rains because he usually forgets to bring his own, and I used to help him with his schoolworks.

I was almost the lover...

Things changed when he met her. Naging madalang ang pag hangout namin dahil palagi silang magkasama. Inaamin ko na nagseselos ako pero wala akong magawa.

Siya ang girlfriend, bestfriend lang ako.

Hindi ako sumubok umamin kasi alam kong wala talagang pag-asa. Tanggap ko na talo agad ako kahit hindi ako sumugal.

"Hatid na kita, bro? Baka kasi nakaabang na naman mga manliligaw mong bano maglaro," he said.

Isa pa 'to sa mga nagustuhan ko sa kaniya. He is very protective of me. Ayaw niya na pinagkakaguluhan ako ng mga tao kasi alam niyang 'di ako sanay makipag-usap sa iba.

"No need, I can handle it naman na," I told him. Sigurado akong narinig niya iyon pero kinuha niya pa rin ang dala ko.

"Tagal na kitang 'di nakakasama kaya hayaan mo akong bumawi sa bestfriend ko," he said. I felt guilty because I am enjoying his suffering. Masaya ako na wala na sila.

Tangina, ang sama ko namang kaibigan.

"Tumabi kayo kung ayaw niyong masuntok. Stop annoying Taehyung, pakiusap lang." The guys stepped back.

Nang makarating kami sa bahay namin ay hindi na siya tumuloy dahil nagmamadali din siya. Gusto ata no'n na magwalwal dahil break na sila.

It was around 10 pm when my mom knocked on my door. I looked at her.

"Anak, nasa labas si Jungkook. Lasing na lasing e, hinatid lang ng kainuman niya raw," I stood up and followed my mom.

And there I saw him sitting on the couch. He was laughing by himself. I sighed and went near him.

"Iwan ko muna kayo, mga anak. Taehyung, doon mo na ipatulog sa kwarto mo si Jungkook kasi nire-renovate pa guest room natin."

"Uy b-bro! Tangina haha! Kumusta k-ka na? Ganda mo ngayon ah?" I shook my head and grabbed him.

"Gago ka! Tumayo ka diyan. Matutulog ka na."

Tumayo siya at pinaakbay ko sa balikat ko ang kamay niya para maalalayan ko siya papunta sa kwarto ko.

Pagewang-gewang kami dahil grabe ang tama ng alak sa lalaking katabi ko. Sobrang bigat pa naman.

I laid him down on the mattress. The back of his hand is on his eye. Nagulat ako noong bigla siyang umiyak. Nasasaktan din ako para sa kaniya.
