Present (Play song on the media)
"Althea, open the door"
"Are you just gonna lock yourself in there?"
"It's been a month now that you are like that, what is happening with you hija?"
"By the way, Batchi, is waiting for you downstairs ...she said she just got back from Germany with her parents and will be staying for good; didn't you talk on the phone? talk to her ok...and food is on the table."
"Please honey...eat okay?
"Yes, Mom " I responded as natural as I can.
And just as after my Mom left, my tears welled up again and I cried for the nth time.
---
After my crying session that afternoon...I went out to see Batchi ...I haven't even tried to fix myself. I still wore my pjs, a robe and carry my big tumbler of CheeseBalls which is my source of energy and happiness that whole month since I rarely eat food.
"Al?" Batchi said in a surprised tone.
"What happened to you???"
"You are so skinny...dont tell me you are doing drugs?!"
"Shut up Batchi...It's not it"
(Payat lang nag dodroga na? :)) )
"So why...? Tita Cristy said you seldom come out of your room...and seldom eat? It's so not you Al...you love food and you love to eat; What's the problem?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't got to call you back last time we talk on the phone...So, it's about Jade right?"
"Tell me Al..."
"She left me Batchi" and my tears like waterfalls poured out as I hug my best friend.
"So, she went with her bro.to the US?"
"Yes, she said she wanted a fresh start... a clean slate...she wants to be straight again...that our relationship will not work out because It isn't right the first time" I tell my bestfriend between sobs.
"I beg her to stay Batch...I told her we will study in the same university so we could still be together, no one will know of our real relationship because we are bestfriends. We will graduate and go to US eventually... it's all planned Batchi " But She has her own plans while all the while I think about was for the both of us...I love Jade so much and It hurts so much Batch...It hurts soo much!!!" I shouted and I let myself fall on tears again. "
"Hush, Al... sshh everything is gonna be okay. You still have your life ahead of you. Don't let it be wasted because of a damn heartbreak. Sometimes you have to let the person go, not for you but for them to realize something... Prove to her that you are worth more than this heartbreak. Al...I mean, c'mon college is in front of us! You will meet many girls, other girls better than Jade okay? okay...so fix yourself up.I don't want to see you like a dirty lazy bag on that clothes...eeewww girl you look like an old man!!! Hahahaha cmon!I know how to make you laugh! ooohhh yeah! yeah!!! hahaha c'mon i'll give you a bubble bath" Batchi paraded with her chicken dance while dragging me to the bathroom.
"Omg. Batchi thanks you're really here" I slightly smiled as I hug my best friend.
While Im about to change to my bathrobe, I caught Batchi quite looking at me.
"Eeeewww Batchi, dont give me that look like you have an ulterior motive for me huh!" And a laugh long gone echoed in the bathroom as Batchi explode in laughter too."Hey Althea Sanchez Guevarra! Not in a million years! Ugh it will be like incest to me" Hahaha im just thinking you are damn hot; no wonder boys even girls falls for you " winks*
