THINGS I WISH YOU KNEW
This one is dedicated to you, August Xan.
Written here are the things that my cowardly self could never say to you in person.
Here are the things that
I wish you knew.
I stood there in silence with my brows furrowed as my heartbeat started doubling its pace.
Nagpalipat-lipat ang tingin ko sa laptop screen at sa babaeng may-ari nito. Sinubukan kong isipin kung ano ang maaring nilalaman ng dokumento.
Matagal na kaming magkakilala at kumportable kami sa isa't-isa. Marami na siyang nai-kuwento sa'kin at ganoon din ako sa kan'ya.
So what else could she possibly want me to know?
Muli akong napatingin sa laptop screen bago magpakawala ng isang mahinang buntong hininga.
There's only one way to find out, and she's definitely going to hate me for it.
