VII. Nais ko sanang sabihin
Mahal kita, 'yan ang pagturing
Ngunit 'di higit pa sa kaibigan
I saw Frea sitting near the window. We are in a cafe.
Nang makita niya ako ay ngumiti lang siya. Nakikita kong nag-iiba na ang pakikitungo niya sa'kin.
Hindi kami nag-usap nang dumating ang order. Tahimik lang siyang kumakain.
" Are you okay, Frea? Wala namang nagbago sa'tin diba?" diretsang tanong ko sa kanya
Napatigil siya sa pagsubo at tinignan niya ako.
" I just want to tell you, Helix na mahal kita." She said it seriously
Tumibok ng pagkalakas ang puso ko.
" Mahal kita ngunit bilang kaibigan lang. Sinabi ko sa'yo noon na hindi ako maiinlove sa'yo. And I want to keep that word. But, that time na narealized kong mahal mo ako na higit pa sa kaibigan lang, I'm getting anxious. Ayaw kong gamitin ang pagkakaibigan natin para mainlove din sa'yo. I'm genuinely love you as my boy bestfriend."
What she said was very clear in my mind. She didn't talk to me over a year because of what I said.
"Akala ko ba hindi mo na iisipin ang sinabi ko? Na you'll just assume that you didn't hear it right? Is it bad na sinabi ko 'yon? Talaga bang yung time na iyon nalaman mo na may gusto ako sa'yo o matagal na?"
" I already know na may gusto ka. Gift told me na ako ang crush mo. Pero, hindi nagbago ang tiwala ko sa'yo nun. That day na sinabi mo iyon, I think that is the time na kailangan ko ng lumayo sa'yo."
I'm speechless. She knew it already but she ignored my feelings. I cried.
