Friends.
I faked a cough and looked at the girl again. "Ah, that day? Sorry, short memory loss," I said while smiling awkwardly.
Narinig kong tumawa si Ed kaya sinipa ko siya sa ilalim ng table pero lalo lang tumawa.
"Oh, I see. I thought you wanted to talk to me kaya pumayag kang ibigay sa akin ang number mo, you didn't reply kasi," She said shyly.
Napakamot ako ng ulo at hindi alam ang sasabihin. Ayoko naman sabihin na wala akong gana nang makipag usap. Matagal na rin akong hindi nakikipag usap sa mga girls.
Nang nakaalis na siya agad na humalakhak ang mga kasama ko. Sinamaan ko sila ng tingin pero lalo lang tumawa.
"Ngayon ko lang nalaman na may short memory loss ka," Tobi teased. "Pero teka lang, paano kayo naging close ni Raze?" He asked in wonder.
"Oo nga. Hindi ko nga kayo nakikitang nag uusap e," Si Gio.
I don't know what to say because I'm not even sure if Raze and I are friends dahil may friends bang nag fuck at nag kiss, at nagbabalak na gawin ulit ang nangyari nung gabing iyon?
"Ikaw huh?" He squinted his eyes at me, which made me nervous. "Bakit hindi mo sinabi?"
"H-huh? Ang a-alin?" I stuttered.
"Bakit hindi mo sinabi na tropa mo na pala si Raze? Selfish ka. Ayaw mo pang magpasalamat sa kanya pero gusto mo talagang kaibiganin."
"Oo nga tas alam mo naman na gusto rin namin maging tropa 'yon," Pag sang-ayon ni Gio.
I sighed in relief.
"Oh, ayon si Raze," Tinuro ni Tobi 'yong pinto ng cafe kaya napatingin ako.
"Raze, dito," Tawag ni Gio habang nakataas pa ang kamay. Kinunotan niya ng noo pero nung nakita ako, agad siyang lumapit.
Pinanlakihan ko ng mata si Gio pero hindi niya ito pinansin.
"Dito ka, dude," Ed gestured to the vacant seat beside him, but Raze sat next to me so I grinned at him.
"What's going on?" Raze whispered to me.
I just shrugged. "Just don't listen to them," I said while the straw was in my mouth.
"Magkaibigan na pala kayo ni Cai? Kailan kayo naging close ni Cai?" Walang kwentang tanong Ed.
I put my forehead on my hand.
Raze looked at me in wonder. "Friends?"
Pasimple kong kinuha ang cellphone ko at agad na nag message si Raze. I made sure my friends didn't notice I was texting.
Cai:
i was approached earlier by the girl who came to us last time we came here together, at nasabi na magkasama tayo. and i don't know kung anong meron sa atin, i mean i dont know if we are friends or what. so yeah, friends ang sinabi ko.
Bakit ba ako nagpapaliwanag?
Cai:
sakyan mo na lang sila.
I looked at Raze na nakatingin sa cellphone. When he's done reading my text, he turned his gaze at my friends.
"Yeah, we're friends," He simply said.
"Alam mo ba, pre, na pinilit namin iyan magpasalamat sa iyo," Feeling close na sabi Gio.
"For what?" Raze asked.
"Tinulungan mo raw kasi siya kagabi nung nasuntok siya, e kaso ayaw niya dahil maliit na bagay lang daw iyon."
