"Yana! I found it!" Lily said after she browsed thoroughly on Lilac's things in her apartment. It's been two months after that and it's the first time that the two of them made their way inside her apartment.
"Wait, hindi naman yan yung hinahanap natin." Yana said.
"Ay, hindi ba toh? I thought this is what we're looking for." Lily was confused but still handed it over to her.
"Akin na nga. Ano ba to? Yung hinahanap kasi natin Lily is yung box na puno ng notes nya. Tanda mo ba yun? Ang ala-" naputol ang pagsasalita ni Yana ng biglang maalala ng kaibigan ang tinutukoy nito.
"Holy! Oo naalala ko na! Pinakita ni ate Lilac saken yun before! Alam ko kasama yun ng mga... alam mo na..." she smiled awkwardly "Anyways, check mo na din toh. Feeling ko important din toh." and she handed the purple notebook to Yana.
As Yana started to check what was written on the purple notebook, she felt the need to give it to someone.
"Lily, feeling ko this is not for us to read." She said.
"Huh? Why?" still looking for the box na pinahahanap ni Yana.
"This is for him to read. Not us."
Out of anger, napalingon si Lily, "Why?! Hindi na nya need pa yan! Kahit ito!" She pulls something from a huge box, "Etong mga notes na toh? Hindi nya na rin need malaman kung ano pa yung nandito. Okay?"
Yana can't blame her kasi alam niya kung saan nanggagaling ang galit ni Lily.
"But still Lily-"
"No! I am keeping everything at hindi niya malalaman tong mga toh!" Lily put the small box back to the huge one's.
"Why don't you give him the chance that he deserves?" kalmadong sabi ni Yana.
"Bakit Yana? Siya ba? Did he even give ate Lilac a chance? Did he even try to fight for her? Did he do something to make her feel better when she needed him the most? Di ba-"
"Lily! Stop it! We both know na this is what Lilac wants! Can you at least give consideration to my cousin?! Kahit ngayon lang?"
Lily stopped.
For almost a minute both of them stopped talking until hindi na makayanan ni Yana ang katahimikan.
"Just...just read the first page." she handed the purple notebook towards Lily.
