Together 7

It was already six in the evening when Fille drove me home with the groceries I've bought. Gretchen helped me to carry them inside, and she actually called me weirdo when I asked her to step on the yellow tapes sticking at the floor. Yeah right! Im a weirdo because I was the one who put those tapes on the floor.

"Well, I completely understand now..." Fille said whilst checking the unfamiliar set up of my house, "you guys are serious about this, are you?"

"I don't know. I never agreed with this kind of set-up anyways!"

"But how come you guys ends up living together in a house?"-Gretchen

"Yes, how come? What happened?" Sunod sunod na tanong ni Fille, "did you ask her to be your boarder or what?"

"Wow!" I exclaimed in disbelief, "how am I going to ask her to be my boarder if I do have money?"

Napa roll eyes naman siya, "duh! You still love her, malay ko bang you're doing this on purpose! Just to be with her, for example!"

"What the heck?! Fille, she's married!"

Napatigil siya sa pag aayos ng eggs sa fridge. She slowly turned to face me with her mouth agape. "She's married? Dennise Michelle?" Asked Gretchen who was pulling the green veggies out of the plastic bags.

"She's married, to whom? When? Where?"-Fille

"I don't know, but she's wearing a wedding ring! Tapus sinabi niya saakin yun when we were talking at the Hospital! Remember that day I was packing my clothes?" I asked and Fille nodded her head, "the night before that, she told me that she's married, and that was after I admitted that I still love her!"

"Woah! Hold on, Im lost!"-Gretchen

Fille put her palm up in front of Gretchen's face, "I'll tell you later." She said, "I don't know about that! But it's totally shocking!" Sabi niya at saka inagaw ang milk sa kamay ko, "but it's good na may kasama ka dito sa house!"

"Yeah right! She's working during night times this week!"

"It's actually almost everyday," Fille shrugged, "I mean remember when we were at the Hospital? She's always in there!"

"Because she does not have a house."

Hindi sumagot si Fille kaya napasubsob ako sa lamesahan. My head was so heavy that all I wanted to do was to sleep and have some rest though at the same time I wanted to cook and eat healthy food.

Yawning, I walked towards Fille and got the meats on her hand. "You sure you're okay?" She asked feeling my nape with the back of her hand, "you're totally fine, but I don't think you're fine mentally."

"I'll try to be fine Fille, thank you for accompanying me today."

"Nah, it's fine. Just call me when you need something!"-Fille

"Or me, Im really an in-demand fella but I could spare time for you!" Sabi naman ni Gretchen at saka ngumiti, "pahinga kana!"

I nodded my head and gave them hugs. When they were about to go, Fille stopped at the door and faced me, "I don't think makaka move on ka sa situation mo!" She said and laughed softly.

"I love her, and I don't think I have the plan to move on."

"But she's married."-Fille

"Martyr? Or ahas?" Gretchen jokingly asked making Fille glare at her but I only laughed at it. "Pero sabi nga nila, if you love her then fight for her..."

"Then that's what Im doing. I know I don't have the rights but Im doing what I was suppose to be doing five years ago."

"Are you nuts?! It's too late!"-Fille
