Alice Pov:
-Imee's calling-
"Yeah, hello?"
"You're still crazy Alice!, why are you moving back there when everyone wants to get out of that stupid town?, I'm your best friend for as long as you can remember, we grew up in this town together Alice, After highschool we moved away to university and lived together until i move back here" inis na sabi ni Imee sa kabila
"Nang, I want to live a simple life and be happy" malumanay kong wika dahil ayoko magalit sya sakin lalo
"You are throwing away a good life here, Alice" pinupunto nya is yung nag alok sakin ng trabaho sa harvard, nakita kasi nila ang files ko, because of my awards simula elementary hanggang nakapag tapos ako is andami kong awards and summa cum laude ako nong college
"You nag to much, Nang" inis kong sabi
Kainis naman to! Alam kong concerned lang sya pero kaya konaman eh di nako bata para sabahin kong anong gagawin ko at saka lilipat paba ako eh andito ang future wifeyyy ko?
"And for good reason! Your family is worried sick, they grilling me nonstop!, and Please call your mother Alice, she thinks you're moving back there to raise your loved child" stress nyang sagot
Loved child?!
Eh kong hampasin ko kaya sila sa mukha
Joke lang
ni jowa nga wala ako, anak pa kaya
at saka hindi pa eady ang wifeyyy ko mag kaanak
"Di ako buntis!, i will call her when i get settled" pati ako na estressed narin sa sinasabi ni Imme
"She is pretty imaginative, i tell you" natatawang sabi nya "What's your longest relationship with a boy?" takang tanong nya sakin
"Three months"
"My friend, you need to experience love, Are you sure you're not going through anything? You can tell me, you know" worried nyang sabi sakin
"Nang we've talked about this, the city life is just not for me, my heart hasn't felt this peaceful in a long time, I'm happy here" pag aasurre ko sakanya para hindi sya mag worry sakin
"Okay, okay , I will respect your decision" napabuntong hininga nalang sya dahil alam nyang hindi na magbabago ang desisyon ko
"Thank you manang" nakangiting saad ko "Before i forgot , i dropped by the school today and guess what who i meet!" pabitin kong saad sa kanya
"Sino? ito naman pabitin!" maktol nyang sabi at natawa nalang ako
"MRS. HONTIVEROS!"
"Mrs. Hontiveros?, Hot-mom Hontiveros?" gulat nyang tanong
"Yes, that Mrs. Hontiveros!"
"And you know what, ngayun alam kona kong bakit lahat nang lalake may gusto sa kanya, if the boys saw her now? Her husband would probably throw a fit!"
"Didn't you hear? Hear husband died in a car crash last year"
"Oh right, I am so sorry about that...I forgot, she must have been through a lot,
I feel bad for her" malungkot kong sabi
Kawawa naman si Risa
Mag isa nalang syang nag papalaki sa anak nya
"Ano pala sanhi nang pag kamatay nang asawa nya? Hindi kasi nya nabanggit sakin kanina" tanong ko kanya at pinark ang sasakyan sa garage at nag lakad papasok nang building
"Horrible car crush night outside of town, He seemed to be leaving for somewhere?" hindi nya suradong saad
Wow... She must have gone through a lot, but she still looks strong
I immersed in my own thought at nakalimutang may kausap pa pala ako sa cellphone ko
"Alice?" tawag ni Imee sa kabilang linya
"Anyway i have to go na and live my life while you voluntarily not here" sabi ko habang papuntang elevator
"Call me if you want, Your room here is waiting for you" she said and hung up
