Tahimik ako habang nakalublub ang kalahati ng mukha sa malamig na tubig ng sapa, the chilly water gently lapping against my feet. Klay was sitting beside me, her presence comforting in the silence. Pareho lang kaming tahimik habang nakababad sa sapa. The moon was beautiful today. Nakakadagdag ganda ng gabi. Plus, the cold wind here is refreshing, it makes the trees around us danced.
The cool breeze brushed against my cheeks, making me shiver slightly. Suddenly, I closed my eyes as I remembered what really happened why I'm here. Damn that Falcon!The memory of his betrayal was still there, but it didn't have the same power over me. Kung kanina sa bangka sobrang broken ko at damang dama ko ang pagka broken ko now is different. I really don't know why. When I met this woman everything faded away. She rid all of the pain, I don't know but she helps me with that. Klay had this remarkable way of making me feel like I could heal, like I could be myself again.
"I'm willing to listen what's going on your mind. I guess you had a lot of pain in ass right now."
Opening my eyes again, I stole a glance at Klay, a small smile tugging at the corners of my lips. She was looking out into the distance, her expression serene. Her white skin were glistening right now because of the moonlight above us. Para siyang diwata na naliligo dito kasama ko. Goodness!
I sighed as I shook my head because of what I'm thinking.
"Super, I mean I just came from break up with my boyfriend. He cheated with my bestfriend. Funny right? Funny.." I said and forced a laugh.
She didn't speak, she just stared at me. Hindi ata makapaniwala sa sinabi ko.
"But I'm okay, It'll heal. It's not hurts..yeah not.."
Yeah, masakit na nagkahiwalay kami ni Falcon pero mas masakit ata na F.O na kami ni Riri. She's like my sister. Bata palang kami magkaibigan na. I just can't accept she'll do this to me. Nawalan na nga ako ng boyfriend pati pa bestfriend. Ang cool! Hahahaha. HA.HA.HA.HA sarap humiga sa kalsada.
"It's just a puppy love. Maybe he's not the right person to be with you. Everything has a reason." Aniya at kalmado ako pinagmasdan.
I nodded and smiled at her."Everything has a reason, like meeting you here.."
I don't know why I said that, I just want to say it. Napakagat ako sa labi ko upang pigilan ang ngiti. It's awkward because she didn't respond! Tinitigan niya lang ako. Then she sighed and hugged herself
"I'm right it's just a puppy love. Look at you. You're obviously flirting with me." She said without looking at me.
My jaw went dropped. Namilog ang mata ko at binato siya ng kaunti tubig sa mukha, she avoid her face and gave me a smirked.
"Assumera ha!"
Her brows furrowed.
"I'm not, you are."
"Wow wait-wala ako sinabi bet kita Klay. What I mean is I don't flirt with you. Bakit mo naman yun naisip? Siguro bet mo ko no?"
Umayos siya ng upo at agad na umiling sakin. Napanguso naman ako at niyakap ang sarili because it's getting cold.
"I'm straight,"
I swallowed as I realized it. Sa gandang niya yan, alam ko straight talaga siya. And me too!
"Oh, me too di ka naman mabiro!" sabu ko at tumawa pilit.
Suddenly, her phone rang, breaking the spell. Klay glanced at her phone who's on the rock beside her. She sighed.
"What?" she answered it before she stepped away from the sapa to answer the call."Yeah-Im here.." bumaling siya sakin at agad rin umiwas ng tingin."I'm staying-Oo bukas, please tell Mom." Then she nodded and put down her phone.
