Best, are you sure dito ang usapan nyo ni Alyssa?
Oo naman! Bakit mo naitanong?
Di ba dito ka...?
Yeah...
Eh bakit parang wala namang mga customers sa loob?
Huh?
Eh ang dilim sa loob oh! Wala akong makita ni aninong gumagalaw doon sa loob!
Ella?! Sinamahan mo lang ba ako para takutin? She told me to meet her here. She even confirmed it last night when she called.
Then why...? Teka, teka, di ba dito din....?
I slightly nodded my head.
Pumayag ka talaga?
Why not? Baka sabihin pa niyang bitter ako kapag tumanggi akong dito kami magkita, I answered, trying to sound with indifferently.
Bakit, hindi ba?
Els....
Oo na, this meeting is for final closure, nothing else.
Of course! I scoffed.
Lokokin mo sarili mo pero hindi ako Best! Ang sabihin mo, gusto mong maulit ang nangyari noon. Imagine, same place, same setup? Ano ito, Piolo-Toni movie, "Starting All Over Again" ang peg?
I faced Ella with my brows crossed, determined to prove her otherwise.
Teka nga Ella, ano ba talaga ang gusto mong mangyari? You insisted that I should talk to Alyssa and now you're sounding like I'm doing the craziest thing by agreeing to do so. Di ba, ito naman ang gusto mong mangyari, ang mag-usap kami? Bakit...?
She has no plans of coming back to you. I'm sorry Best.
Anong sinabi mo?
For a while I tried to deny what I heard was true, but it was Ella who said those words. Ella, whose been my one true friend. Ella, whose been the same friend to Alyssa. No way she would even lie to me.
I talked to Alyssa the day she arrived. Best, I'm sorry pero wala siyang balak makipagbalikan sa'yo.
Aray ko!
And...and neither am I Els, neither am I, I replied with a heavy heart.
Tell that to the marines!
Els...
Ella held both sides of my face and without blinking, For the last time Den, be honest with me. For closure na lang ba talaga ang purpose ng meeting na ito? Hindi ka na ba umaasa na sana bumalik pa kayo sa dati?
I fought the urge to tell her the truth. This time, I'll be lying straight face to my bestfriend.
W....wala nang dati Els, so wala na akong dapat asahan, I lied without blinking my eyes too. For my peace of mind, as well as hers, kaya ako pumayag makipagkita sa kanya.
