"ANONG pinag-usapan nyo kanina?" tanong sakin ng kaibigan kong si Themarie pagkatapos naming mag-hangout sa Maxines.
"Anong ibig mong sabihin?" kunot noong tanong ko habang palakad kami sa kinaroroonan ng nakaparada naming kotse.
"Don't play dumb with me, Belle. I saw you having a conversation with Cassandra David."
I chuckled. "And?"
"Anong and? Hello! Akala ko ba crush mo siya?"
Mahina ulit akong natawa. "Nah, that was a long time ago."
"Ay sayang, ship ko pa naman kayo." pa-ngusong komento ni Beatrice.
"Yeah me too," Themarie agreed.
"Silly," sabi ko lang. Pagdating namin sa parking lot ay nag-paalam na kami sa isa't-isa.
"By the way, sasama ka ba sa amin this weekend?" pahabol na tanong ni Beatrice.
"Saan ba?"
"Sa Britannia, Siargao Island." sagot ni Themarie. "And don't you dare say no. Magagalit si Georgina sayo."
Saglit akong nag-isip at kapagkuwan ay umiling. "I have no time, busy ako next week."
"Ayan ka na naman eh! Busy ka ulit." reklamo ni Beatrice.
"Next week na kasi yung Tours ko at hindi ako pwede um-absent." rason ko.
"Yeah right, same alibi. My god, Belle. Can you at least take a break? Halos wala ka nang oras sa sarili mo. Enjoy a little."
I heaved a sigh. "Bea, I'm a busy person and I have a busy career too. Unlike the two of you, hawak niyo ang oras niyo. Don't worry may next time pa naman."
Themarie tsked. "I guess Deither was right all along."
Kumunot nuo ko. "What?"
"Na mas mahal mo daw yung career mo keysa sa kanya." Themarie was referring to my boyfriend Deither Ong which happens to be her first degree cousin.
"Sinabi ni Deither sa'yo?" takang tanong ko.
"Yes, and I have a feeling that he's tired of it."
Napabugha ako ng hangin. "He said that he understands me, at isa pa mahal ko siya."
"He loves you too and we know that. Pero hindi ko narinig sakanya na na-a-understand ka niya."
Na-confuse ako saglit. "What do you mean by that?"
"Litsen, Belle. Wala ako sa posisyon maki-alam sa career at love life mo, but as one of your best friends I advise you to give yourself a break. Sa atin kasing mag-kakaibigan, ikaw yung pinaka busy to the point na minsan ka lang nagpaparamdam sa amin. Pati love life mo ay hindi mo narin binibigyan ng sapat na oras. Deither was just asking a little bit of your time pero hindi mo 'yun naibigay sakanya. And don't me, hindi na ako mag-tataka if mawawalan ka ng boyfriend."
Napa-iling ako. "Ang harsh mo."
"I'm just saying the truth. Himala nga at na-invite ka namin ni Beatrice mag-hang out ngayon eh."
I snorted at her. "Eh paano ba kasi? Hindi n'yo naman ako titigilan hangga't hindi ako sumama sa inyo, at isa pa—"
"That's my point." she snapped me out. "You see? Kung hindi ka pala namin pinilit ay malamang ngayon nandoon ka parin sa studio mo at nagkukulong. And also blame Georgina. Ang bruhang yun ang nag-sabi sa amin na ilabas ka."
Napa-ikot ko ang mga mata ko. I want to wring Georgina's neck at the moment. And Themarie was right. Supposedly nasa recording label ako ngayon at nag-co-compose ng kanta. Pero dahil sa kakulitan nilang dalawa ni Beatrice na yayain akong mag-bar ay napilitan akong sumama sa kanila. I sighed again.
