Epilogue

Kara, Fretzie, Bianca, Nadine, Marie, Ysabel, Danielle, Kaye, Thel... I don't know. I lost count and names of the girls I tried. Like what my bestfriend told me, girls that I experimented.

I didn't do it because I like playing games and breaking hearts but because I'm looking for that someone. Someone who resembles my mom. And that's the time when Rona came into the picture.

I met Rona in a mall's restaurant. I overheard her talking to her friends about my bestfriend. I can't help but to smile hearing her praising Lorraine. I approached her that time and my heart flattered to see her beautiful face. I was planning to hit on her but I promised her that I won't try to experiment girls anymore. That's why I didn't. But then I found myself crossing the borders. I always go to Rona's school. I always wait for her to come out of the gate, on her way home. I always watch her without her knowing.

I never did those things to the girls I've been with before. I was sure that Rona's different pero ayokong magkamali. If I'm going to date her, hindi ko sasabihin sa bestfriend ko. 'Cause what if hindi pala si Rona? Ayokong magalit at lumayo siya sa akin. I'll keep this first to myself. And that's what I did. I'm secretly dating Rona. It was fun being with her. She takes care of me like we're already in a relationship even though we're just going out para makilala ang isa't-isa. After a month of getting to know each other phase, I started to court her. She's the first girl that I courted. She's different from the girls I dated before. She's not clingy, she's caring, sweet, loving... She has everything that I'm looking for. She passed all the test.

I thought my birthday that time was the happiest birthday of my life because Rona finally said yes... pero hindi ko man lang naisip na may nakalimutan pala ako while having fun on my own. My bestfriend who's also celebrating her birthday on the same day. Nawalan na ako ng time sa kaniya because I'm busy with Rona. I felt so guilty lalo na nang makita kong mga kaibigan niya ang kasama niyang magcelebrate ng birthday niya. Mula pa nung mga bata pa kami'y lagi kaming magkasamang nagce-celebrate ng birthday namin. Pero nang dahil sa akin, nabago ang lahat. Pati ang pakikitungo niya sa akin, nabago din.

She became so distant. I hurt her, alam ko 'yon sa sarili ko. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko. Nawalan na rin ako ng time kay Rona dahil sa pagsusuyo ko sa bestfriend ko that's why I told her na nagkaproblema kami ng bestfriend ko. I'm happy because she understands me. Mas lalo kong napatunayang si Rona na talaga. Hindi rin siya selosa. Who can ever find a girl like her right? I'm really lucky.

I did my best to reach her out but she's always climbing a step higher upang hindi ko siya maabot. This time, naiintindihan ko na si Rona. My girlfriend's also off whenever we're together dahil lagi nalang ang problema ko with my bestfriend ang pinag-uusapan naming dalawa.

Akala ko'y malapit ko na siyang masuyo nang tuluyan pero mas lalong gumulo ang lahat nang dumating si Martin. I don't know what to do with that guy lalo na't hindi ako makakilos dahil nalaman ko rin na pinsan siya ni Rona. Twing nakikita ko silang dalawa na magkasama, hndi ko alam ang nararamdaman ko. I'm angry and hurt at the same time and I don't know why. Maybe because she's my bestfriend at sana'y ako na ako lang ang kasama niya ngunit may bago na siyang kasama ngayon. If it's a girl, it's okay with me but she's with a guy. If she will settle for him, I should be happy pero hindi ako masaya. I'm not happy.

"Why didn't I even thought about it?" I suddenly said, I feel like I'm getting drunk while staring at her taking care of me.

Her eyes that's full of concern... her thin lips, her pointed nose, her rosy cheeks that's as soft as marshmallow when you touch... My bestfriend's really beautiful.
