Until Our Next Eclipse

Sol's POV:

"Okay so, para makuha mo yung sagot sa number one ay i mumultiply mo muna 'to bago mo i-divide." Pag papaliwanag ko kay Diana.

"Sol..." Napatigil ako nang biglanng banggitin ni Diana ang pangalan ko.

"I know naman na matagal na tayong mag kaibigan, ayoko sabihin to kasi I don't want to risk our friendship pero at the same time ayoko namang maunahan ako ng iba Sol." Sabi ni Diana habang pinaglalaruan ang kanyang mga kamay.

"What do you mean?" Napakunot at naguguluhan sa mga sinasabi nya.

"I am inlove with you, Sol. I tried to stop it but it just.. i can't keep falling inlove with you." Sabi nya at napayuko.

I was dumbfounded hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko. Matagal na kaming mag kaibigan ni Diana pero kahit saglit ay hindi ko naisip na mahuhulog sya sakin. Parang tunay na kapatid na ang turing ko sakanya. Hindi ko din naman sya masisisi sa nararamdaman nya sakin, pero ayoko din naman syang umasa pa.

"I'm sorry, diana." Sabi ko sakanya.

Kaagad naman nya akong tinitigan sa mga mata ko at nag simula syang maiyak.

"Why not, Sol? Why not? I was there for you when you needed someone, and you we're there at my lowest too. I witnessed all of the happy memories you had. Our parents knows eachother, we known each other for years. So why not, Sol? Why not?!" Sabi nya at hinawakan ang kamag ko.

"You we're right, Diana we've known eachother for years. I treated you as my real little sister -"

"Little sister?! Wow... Wow Sol. Just wow." Sabi nya at hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi ko.

"I love you for many years and all you see me as a fucking little sister?! God dammit, Sol. You are numb!" Sigaw nya.

"I'm sorry Diana. I didn't mean to hurt you like this, i just want to be honest with you and my feelings." Mahinahon kong sinabi sakanya.

"May iba ba Sol?" Tanong ni Diana.

Nagulat ako sa tanong nya at hindi alam kung paano sasagutin yon.

"Bakit hindi ka makasagot?! Is it Luna?" Sigaw nya.

Napatigil ako sakanyang sinabi.

"You just fucking met her, for god's sake. Sol and we've known eachother for years!" Sigaw nya.

"You're just confused, Sol. That girl is not meant for you." Sabi nya at napahilamos sa mukha nya.

"Then who? You?" Sabi nya at tinitigan nya ako ng saglit.

"Why not me? Why not me..."

"When i first saw Luna she's so famillar to me, i already fall in love with her ever since that day. I always like her presence and whenever she is around i feel realief. I felt something I've never felt before that she can only make me feel." Sabi ko sakanya.

Lumapit sya sakin at sinabing,

"She was once miserable and I'm going to make her life a new living hell." Bigkas nya. Ngayon ko lang syang nakitang ganito.

"Hindi ka naman dating ganito, Diana. Bakit kailangan mong gawin yan? Walang ka alam alam ang tao. Walang kasalanan si Luna at wala syang kinalaman dito." Mahinahon kong sinabi sakanya.

"Get out in my room! Now!" Sigaw nya at turo sa pinto.

Kinuha ko ang mga gamit ko at lumabas sa pinto.

Sumakay ako ng jeep, at pumunta sa bahay nila Luna.

"Tao po!" Sabi ko at kumatok sa bahay nila.

Kaagad namang may nag bukas ng pinto, at pinag buksan ako ng gate.
