2 days after the conversation with Denis

Time is ticking like a bomb and I need to decide.. I need to choose.. and what ever choice i make.. I hope it will be the best choice that I will ever make..

Napasuntok ako sa dingding ng kwarto ko.. Napapagod na ako sa kakaisip sa sitwasyon ko.. Minsan sana pinakinggan ko ang puso ko.. sana di ako nahihirapan ng ganito.. It's clear that I am inlove with my bestfriend.. but I chose to play safe..

I let my self fall on my bed ng mahulog ang flash drive sa sahig..

"Ano kaya ito?" Tanong ko sa sarili habang iniikot ikot ito sa palad ko.. napaka mysterioso ng lalaking nag bigay nito

"Ano laman nito?" "Kung ano ang nangyayari behind your back.." 

Tumayo ako.. at isinaksak sa laptop ko ang flash drive..

"See.. Di kasi marunong kumilala ng babanggain yang si Marriane Park.." Si Jane nasa video kausap ang mga kaibigan nya..

"But.. I think you did it wrong Jane?.. paano kung mamatay sya?" tanong ng kaibigan nya

"Then good for her! I heard she told Marcus the truth but he belived me instead of her.. which makes me feel loved..I gave her that chocolate with almonds and I gave her a fake antihistamin.. kung di ba naman sya loka loka, nagtitiwala kahit kanino" Napatayo ako sa narinig ko.. I seek for my phone.. I need to talk to Jane about this.. She lied.. I burned my friendship for this lie..

"Jane gave me chocolates.. I refuse to eat.. may allergy ako sa nuts.. but she insisted.. she said she have anti allergy.. and.. eto.. nagising ako nasa hospital na.."

"I can't believe you are telling this lies.."

"Marcus.. I'm not lying.."

"Di gagawin ni Jane yun.."

"She did.."

"Anne will you stop being childish! Wag mo namang siraan si Jane! walang kinalaman yung tao dito "

I want the earth to swallow me up.. alive.

"Hello Marcus?"  Sinagot ni Jane ang tawag ko..

"Jane.. can we talk now? Let's meet.."

"Now? di ba magkasama lang tayo kanina? Don't tell me na mimiss mo na ako agad.." I cringe upon hearing her voice.. Kasalanan nya.. namin..

"Now.. Let's meet at the park we used to go.." sabi ko at sabay end ng tawag

"No.. Marcus please.. Don't do this to me.." Jane is crying as I ended our relationship

"Do what? Shit naman Jane! You lied! Pinagmukha mo akong tanga!" I yelled and she keep on crying..

"I did that because I love you!'

"Damn it! Muntikan syang mamatay.. Muntikan akong mamatay ng makita ko syang di makahinga!" my tears won't stop from falling... I died when she seek for Andrew's embrace.. I died when she turned her back on me.. and said that she will not be my friend anymore

"That's it! You love her!" She shrieked and I just stared at Jane..

"You love her Marcus.. You are just fooling your self.. You can't blame me.. I gave you all that you needed but you still want to be with her.. Anne.. Anne.. Anne.. Nakakapagod Marcus.."

"But it will never justify what you have done to her.. and I cannot forgive you.. Yes I love her.. Masaya ka na? I love her.. I am in love with her.." Her palms landed on my cheeks.. My face burns and stings galing sa sampal nya.. pero mas masakit ang nararamdaman ko inside..

"Alam mo sa sarili mo, na hindi ako tulad ng iniisip mo.. at alam mo sa sarili mo na ginawa ko lahat para iwasan kayo.. Kung meron saating di maka move on Marcus.. ikaw yun.."

"Then, after hearing all your accusations.. I guess.. I'll stay away from you.."

"Jane.. I tried.. I even chose to believe you.." Jane keep on crying

"I tried to love you.. I am sorry if I pushed you on your edge.. I guess we have to end this.."

"I am sorry Marcus.. I know I was wrong.. but this is a wake up call too.. You were never mine.. You are hers.. I envied her.." Tumakbo sya papalayo sa akin..

Day 4 after the Conversation with Denis

I need to talk to her.. Kailangan nya malaman na mahal ko sya.. then pipigilan ko syang umalis.. Right yun ang dapt kong gawin

I try to chase her after our class.. pero Ninja talaga sya.. she's gone right before my eyes..

"Pare.. nakita nyo si Park?" I asked one of our classmates..

"Pare di ko alam eh.. Tignan mo na lang sa library baka kasama si Choi.." sagot nya sabay alis

I walked towards the library..

"Anne.. I'm sorry about what I said.. Shit.. paano ba ako magsisimula.." tanong ko sa sarili ko at bigla ako napahinto

"I know.. I cannot replace his spot in your heart.. but please.. give me a chance Marriane.. di ka magsisisi.. please.. be my girlfriend and I will make sure na di ka pang second best.." Hinanap ko ang boses ni Andrew at nakita ko na hawak hawak nya ang mga kamay ni Anne

"I'll make you forget him.. which is impossible but I will try.." Huminto ang puso ko pag tibok.. she is about to give an answer

"Andrew.. I."

"Please.."

"Anne.. please say no.." sigaw ng puso ko..

"Okay.." ngumiti si Anne.. Okay? na pagiisipan nya?

"Okay? what do you mean?"

"Andrew.. Ayokong isipin mo na ginagamit kita para makalimutan sya.. but I wanted to feel being first too.. so Yes.. sinasagot na kita.." she smiled.
