Another step closer to you, and my stomach turns, fear rises.

“H-hi” kinakabahan kong bati sakanya

naka awang ng kaunti ang bibig nya

“Hi” muli kong bati sakanya pero hinampas nya lamang ako sa braso gamit ang sandok

“Aray ko naman!”

pero parang di nya narinig ang daing ko

“Walang.Hiya.kang.ugok.ka!”

sabi nya habang hinahampas ako gamit ang sandok

“Aray! Ano ba?!”

“Gago!” sabay pukpok ng sandok na hawak nya sa ulo ko

“ahww! ang sakit nun!”

“serves you right!”

“What a warm welcome!”

“Gusto mong masapok?! T-teka? Ano yung amoy na yun?---Oh gawd! yung niluluto ko!!” agad naman akong iniwan nito at pumunta sa loob ng bahay nya, kaya sinundan ko sya

“Ayan nasunog na tuloy bwiset na De Leon na yun!”

“Ahem.. andito pa po ako”

“Do you know how much she cried, huh Bea?”

“E-nnajie I-i”

marahas syang humarap saakin at tinignan ako sa mga mata

“How dare you show up on my front door?! And then what!? you would ask me to join your stupid shananigan all over again?!”

galit na galit si Ej habang tinuturo pa ang mukha ko gamit ang sandok.

“I love her” naluluha kong sabi sakanya

“bullsht! thats bullsht Bea. Eight damn years ago, we found out that we. Ate RAD, Therese, Maddie and your brother were all damn friends, when we were still kids, at si Maddie na batang tinawag mo na tiger ay ang syang pinangakuan mo saaming apat! I remember it clearly Bea! Then after six damn years of your almost perfect relationship, bigla mo nalang syang iniwan!”

“Ennajie h-hindi--”

“ano Bea?! Hindi mo sinasadya?! How pathetic! Let me tell you something Bea, you left her crying.... Under that damn rain to be exact.. two miserable years ago! Wow! Just wow! Pinakawalan kita, i disregarded my feelings for you, and you fckin' wasted it”

hinawakan ko sya sa balikat at tinignan ko sya sa kanyang mga mata, nagpupumiglas pa sya pero hindi ako pumayag na makawala sya

“Sa tingin mo gusto ko syang iwan? did you know how i died when i turned away from her that night?”

umiiyak na ako, ganun din sya

“Kaibigan ko din si Maddie, Bea, at di mo alam kung gano kasakit na makita syang ganun! Because one minute you wanted to marry her, and the next thing we all knew was Maddie soaking wet from the rain with blood shot eyes!”

“Look Ennajie, I-i...Two years ago, the reason why i left her was.. because I had to--”

Huminga ako ng malalim at binuksan ko ang pinto, laking gulat ko nang makita ko sina ate Rach kasama ang anak nila na si Racelyn Anne.

“Hi Tita Maddie!” nakangiting sabi nito saakin

“ate Rach, ate Jov pasok po kayo.”

“Pero tita Maddie, why are your eyes swollen po? did you cry?“
