I CAN READ YOUR MIND//University Series #4

"Aiyo, yeah, gor gor loves you, okay?" Sabi ko sa pasyente kong batang babae.

Been here in Singapore for 2 years and it's refreshing here. I've met a lot of new friends and also new colleagues.

"Like literally, I mean, I like you. I can make you ligaw-ligaw naman diba?" My filipina colleague admired me so much but she's really just a friend of mine.

I love her but as a friend, ayoko naring pumasok sa isang relasyon. Everything that I've done before is irrational. Fuck there, fuck everywhere.

"You know that I'm a fucked boy right? So you shouldn't admire me," I chuckled.

"You just want to discourage me noh," hampas niya pa sa akin.

"I've heard na irerelocate ka na ulit sa pinas?" Pagoopen up pa ni Ainna.

"Uhm yeah, by next year," I smiled.

"Sama ako," pulupot niya pa sa akin kamay then I just pat her head.

Tumungo kami sa office.

Umupo ako saglit kasi napagod ako sa pag-iikot ikot namin.

While I'm scrolling my Instagram, I saw previously post sa pren up ni Yegi. She really looks happy with his doctor husband. Hindi ko alam anong nangyari sa akin but my tears keep flowing.

"Hahahah, you're now happy. I'm glad you're happy not with me but with someone else, huhuhu ackkk, Yegi," I groaned dahil sa di mapigilan sakit.

Akala ko okay na ako but dude it's painful. It seems like there's always a torn every edges of my heart. Hindi parin bumabalik ang dating saya gaya ng dati.

It's my fault for acting so aggressive towards her.

"Hmmm, what happened to you?" Biglang pumasok si Ainna kaya I wiped my tears.

"Is it Yegi Christiana again?" Ainna asked and then I just smiled and leave her.

Paglabas ko ng office agad naman nagring ang phone ko and it seems like okay na fully si Allegory.

"Bro, you should go home here sa pinas. We've been missing you a lot,"  Allegory uttered so I give him news na uuwi na ako sa Pinas together with Ainna.

"Who's Ainna?" Allegory teased me.

"Uhm, just someone, like just a friend," I chuckled and after our long talk, we both hanged up.

Lumipas ang mga buwan at natransfer na nga ako sa Pilipinas. Our head approved my request and even gave me a promotion. Ainna and I were both transferred to the Philippines because the percentage of mental illness in the Philippines are rampant.

"Are you okay?" I asked Ainna na may dinamdam na sakit sa kanyang puson.

She must have her menstruation period.

"Yeah, don't mind me," she's trying to act cool.

Sinundo ako nina Allegory and with my other friends. We're going to play basketball actually.

"Who's this?" Allegory asked.

"She's Ainna, kaworkmate ko sa Singapore," I just smiled and everyone teased me except ni Allegory.

Tumungo kami sa pupuntahan namin and yeah, we're able to play basketball. Ofcourse hinatid ko muna si Ainna sa bahay nila.

"Can we talk?" Nagulat ako kay Allegory.
