Silent Tears

08 boyfriend's bucket list

Kristine's

nagdaan nanaman ang ilang araw, nitong mga nakaraan napapansin ko ang pag iwas ni jay, i mean yes, ito naman ang gusto ko, a little interaction with him but it feels like may mali ngayon

he completely avoiding me

it all started that night, i don't even remember what happened because i was taken by the affect of alcohol, i do remember some random chit chat with him but when i get a little tipsy yun narin yung time i completely forget all

gumising akong nasa kwarto na kinabukasan, to my surprise pa bga na pag labas ko ng kwarto jay is quite, no commands just completely quite up until now

"you okay ate? may gusto ka bang bilhin?"

i was taken aback when aera call me, nasa mall pala kami, do shopping but my mind is pre occupied by what happened this past few days

"nothing ae, tapos ka na ba? hapon narin e, gusto mo na ba umuwe?" i ask her but she shrugged saying no to my question

"bisitahin ko muna ate si kuya theo" she said looking around trying to find something

what? theo? is this a coincidence or talagang kilala niya si theo?

oh i remember, jay knows him so probably ganon din si aera, but how?

"aera mind if i ask you a question?"

"go on ate, i'll answer it while we're walking hahanapin ko pa kasi san siya dito nagtayo ng clinic niya"

"paano niyo nakilala si theo?" i ask randomly

she look at me, twinkling her eyes with a furrowed eyebrows "you know him ate?"

"yah, theo....madrid?"

she then smirk and hang on my arm "oh ate pano mo nakilala si kuya theo?"

"i ask first ae, mind if ako muna sagutin mo"

"right okay, ganto kasi yon" she pause, looking straight "he's kuya's medic friend, we know him years ago, halos hindi na nga namin maalala kung kelan talaga namin siya nakilala, he's our family doctor, sadly mom and dad died kaya kami nalang ni kuya naasikaso niya, then last year he came to us telling that he's going abroad, don niya daw itutuloy pagiging doctor niya, but kuya told me earlier before we go here na nakauwe na siya and dito siya sa mall nagtayo ng clinic so i decided na pumunta dito para kamustahin siya"

"now i know, kaya pala parang sobrang close nila ng kuya mo nung nakaraang hinatid ako ni theo sa bahay"

she looked at me, feeling surprise

"what? pumunta siya sa bahay? bakit hindi mo sinabi ate"

"i didn't know aera"

"oh okay, now ako naman sagutin mo ate, pano ko nakilala si kuya"

i started to narrate how theo and i crossed path, natatawa pa nga siya ng i kwneto ko kung bakit ako lang mag isa umuwe noon, she said sorry sa inasta ni jay ng i kwento ko yung commotion noon sa stall pero hinayaan ko nalang siya tutal, aera is aera, hindi ka na dapat makipag talk because if want to apologize kahit hindi niya kasalnan kailangan tanggapin mo nalang

"so that's it, small world din e" she before pointing on something "there, kuya's clinic oh"

i knew it, dito niya ako dinala e

aera didn't hesitate to enter the clinic, there's no one here but some of he's staff na ipinakilala niya narin sakin nung araw na lumabas kami

"welcome ma'am tine, doc's on he's office" a staff said, i know him e... trisha....
