TAFT
JERON'S POV
"Babe, you okay?" nasa isang coffee shop kami ni Kat ngayon. Kanina pa ko nakatingin sa phone ko hindi ko napansin na kanina pa pala siya nagkkwento.
Bakit?
Nagpalit kasi si Nicole ng profile picture on Facebook. Ganito ako lagi. Abangers sa mga updates tungkol sa kanya. Buti na lang at magkaharap lang kami ni Kat kaya hindi niya nakikita kung anong ginagawa ko.
"Sorry babe. Nagtext yung groupmates ko sa thesis eh" I lied
"Oh. Okay babe. Anyway, may isusuot ka na ba para sa party ng dad ni Thomas?"
"Wala pa eh. Pero suit and tie nalang. Madali na yun."
"Great! Sabay na tayo bumili. Pick me up later after my class!"
"Okay babe."

NICOLE'S POV
From: Captain
Good morning mommy! Wag mo kalimutan magbreakfast ha. :) I miss you. :(
Nasa paranaque kasi si Forts. Dun siya nagspend ng weekend niya with his family.
To: Captain
Yes captain! Ikaw din ha. Good luck sa training!
Kumakain ako magisa sa Mcdo ng breakfast nang may tray na lumapag sa harap ko.
Umupo siya at nagsmile sakin.
"Anong kailangan mo, Teng?"
"Pwede bang maki-share?"
"Nakaupo ka na eh. May magagawa pa ba ko?"
And we laughed. Haha. Si Jeric talaga.
"Does Forts know?" Tanong niya bigla
"Know what?"
"You. Jeron."
"No. He doesn't."
"Don't you think he needs to know?"
"I don't know Kuya Teng. Baka maging complicated lang yung sitwasyon. Besides Jeron and I are over. Wala nanaman sigurong kinalaman yung past sa kung anong meron ngayon."
"That's your choice. Sakin lang hindi maliit yung mundo. Sooner or later he's gonna find out."
"I'll think it through Kuya Teng."
"I'm more than glad na things are okay between us. Despite what happened to you and Jeron. I'm really sorry Nicole."
"No Kuya Teng ano ba. Wala kang kasalanan. Your brother messed up. Wala kang kinalaman dun. Stop saying sorry okay?"
"Okay. Pero matanong kita. Mahal mo na ba si Forts?"
"I don't know Kuya Teng. I like Forts. I just don't know if I'm ready yet. Natatakot pa din ako."
"Goodluck Nicole. You deserve to be happy. I know Forts won't hurt you. He's a good guy."
"I know you're a good guy too. Kaya wag mo sasaktan si Dana ha! Kundi nako pagbubuhulin ko kayo ng kapatid mo!"
"Hahahaha! Ikaw talaga. Oo mahal na mahal ko yung bestfriend mo no. Di ko yun sasaktan!"
"Buti naman. Hahaha."
"Sige Nicole alis na ko. May training pa kasi kami eh. It was nice catching up with you!"]
"Bye Kuya Teng. Goodluck sa training!"
