Dahlia:
What now, Mr. Harper?
Can't tell the truth?
Dale:
I'm sorry.
I lied in the part that I saw your account randomly.
Yes, I've known you since last year.
Sinabi ko lang 'yon para makuha reply mo.
Dahlia:
Wait!
So hindi totoo na nakita mo si Aster na may kasamang ibang babae?
Gawa-gawa mo lang 'yon?
Dale:
Totoo lahat 'yon.
Hindi ako sinungaling na tao.
You see, I'm following your ex-boyfriend because we know each other.
Dahlia:
What do you mean?
Dale:
I know everything because Aster is one of my co-workers.
Dahlia:
What?
Don't lie to me, Mr. Harper.
Kilala ko mga katrabaho niya.
Dale:
Let me finish before suspecting me, will you?
Dahlia:
Fine.
Dale:
A year ago. April 11, 2022.
I got a job in a department where your boyfriend is also working.
I thought I was hallucinating at first if he was the Aster Monesterio I know back in high school.
But when I heard him telling some of our co-workers about his "past," I concluded that it was really him. So I decided to stalk him right after our shift.
And I was right.
After he dropped out and transferred to another school, he started to fix himself.
That's when I knew that he already had a girlfriend.
At first, I didn't know that it was you because all the uploaded photos was blurred. I didn't even believe that he would end up like that.
Sino ba ang mag-aakala? 'Yong dating Aster na tahimik at parating may bitbit lang na sandwhich, isa na ngayong hot papa.
Shit.
Chariz lang pala.
Mas hot pa rin ako.
Dahlia:
And?
What did you gain by stalking him?
Dale:
The next day, April 12, 2022.
A slim girl visited him at lunch time. The pictures might be blurred, but I am sure it was different from that slim girl on the photo. But of course, I didn't conclude yet. Malay ko kung kapatid niya lang? Parang casual lang naman kasi sila.
Dahlia:
He doesn't have a sister.
Dale:
I know.
So when you visited him on the next day, April 13, 2022, I stalked her again after our shift.
I got nothing, but I saw his status and uploaded photos flexing his "girl," which is you.
After that day, another girl visited him.
Different girl from the first day.
And it was clear, that was not you. Again.
I got confused as to why he had so many girls, so I asked one of his friends. That's when I confirmed that he was cheating on you.
Dahlia:
Ibig sabihin ay matagal mo na palang alam?
Dale:
Yeah.
Dahlia:
Tapos hindi ka man lang nag-abala na magsabi sa akin?
Dale:
I'm sorry, I got chicken.
Besides that, wouldn't it be rude if I just meddled in your relationship?
Hindi lang halata pero mahal ko ang career ko. Pinaghirapan ko 'to. Marami muna akong pinagdaanan bago mapunta sa posisyong ito. Kapag nangialam ako, puwede akong masisante agad-agad dahil siya ang paborito at parating pinapaburan ng boss namin.
Dagdag din na ito lang ang tanging bumubuhay sa akin at sa mga kapatid ko.
Hindi ito puwedeng mawala sa akin.
Dahil hindi rin ako puwede sa mabibigat na gawin.
Dahlia:
Naguguluhan ako.
Anong ibig mong sabihin sa mabibigat na gawain?
Dale:
Mahina ang puso ko.
