Special Chapter

Twenty-Six

From Ally, with Love

Sino ba si Alexcess Kimberly?

Sino ba si Ally? Sino ba… ako?

The car screeched to a stop as we reached Niobe’s house.

“Bakit… mo ko dinala dito?” I asked him while looking down at my hands.

I really don’t know why among all the people in the world, it was him that I had to turn to… now.

“Birthday ni Gab e.” he answered.

I felt that he was looking at me. So I just gazed at him in response.

Di ako naniniwala na dinala niya ako dito dahil lang sa birthday ni Gab.

He sighed in defeat as our eyes met.

“Wag mo nga akong tinitignan ng ganyan. Naiinlove ako sayo e." hindi ko narinig yung mga huling sinabi niya, I just saw his lips move.

“Anong sabi mo?”

“Ang sabi ko, best friend mo si Niobe, diba?” tumango ako, slightly.

“I can lend you my shoulders for you to cry on pero siya parin ang best friend mo. You should be talking to her, not me.” Napabuntonghininga ako habang lumabas naman siya ng kotse at pumunta sa side ko para pagbuksan ako ng pinto.

I gotta admit, he’s right.

Kaya ko lang naman ayaw sabihin kay Niobe dahil alam kong sisisihin niya ang sarili niya pag nalaman niya. Which is not the case.

Pero…

What did really happen? Anu nga ba ang kwento ng buhay ko?

 

In England, Niobe and I had been living in a Filipino community.

Almost everyone we know are either Filipinos or half Filipinos.

Niobe’s my very best friend but we also get to mingle with other friends, mapalalaki o mapababae.

Until I met him—Jason Victor or simply JV.
