I Haven't Gone Too Far (Completed)

Chapter 8

“’we do not accept cheap quality products, only the best’or ‘we only accept high quality products’which is better?

-is this for me? If so, I guess it’s the latter. We have to learn to communicate using positive languages, plus you have to keep it short and simple .”

“so paano ba yan? Akong panalo!” kausap ko naman ngayon si Tal. Hindi naman sya makapaniwala na ako yung pinanigan nung Jayson.

“biased yan syempre!! Clarence likes you, magsaside talaga sya sayo!”

“what the hell, Tal? This is not Clarence! Isa pa, hindi naman alam nung Jayson na to kung alin ang akin at alin ang sayo” dinilaan ko naman sya. 

“so, you asked him na pala?”

“no, I didn’t. At di nay un kailangan. Nagtransfer na si Clarence sa section natin and he uses different computer. So it’s not him”

“yung argument na yan eh last week pa. He could’ve answered that before he transferred to our class”

“basta, he is not Clarence”

“who is not me?” oh shoot. Bakit di man lang sumenyas si Tal na nasa likod ko na pala yung taong to?

Sumenyas naman ako kay Tal pero ang ginawa nya eh tumayo lang sya at umalis. Nung nasa may pinto na sya bigla namang sumigaw ng:

“ASK HIM NOW!”

“anong itatanong mo?” umupo naman si Clarence sa upuan nya, humarap lang ako sa computer saka nag isip kung paano ko ba itatanong “ah… I’m waiting”

“wala. Kasi may sumasagot ocassionally sa notes ko na inilalagay ko sa desktop, password protected kasi yung computers, at yung estudyante lang na nasa night class na gumagamit nitong computer ko yung pwedeng gumawa nun. I asked kung anong pangalan nya at sabi nya na sya raw si Jayson. Tal told me about your second name, so…” tumingin naman ako sa kanya nun nakita ko syang tinitignan yung latest note na sinagot nung Jayson, saka naman sya tumingin pabalik sakin.

“You’re asking kung ako si Jayson or kung kilala ko si Jayson?” 

“yup!” tumawa nanaman sya nun. Pero yung tawa na alam mong pilit lang. Sa dalas naman kasi nitong tumawa, alam mo na sa tono palang ng tawa nya kung alin ang peke, sarcastic, at totoo. 

“Malapit ka nang pumasa bilang detective”

“and what was that supposed to mean? Pwedeng sagutin mo nalang ako ng diretso para end of discussion na?”

“yes”

“yes sa alin? sa kilala mo sya o sa ikaw si Jayson?”

“let’s say, I know him very much, we are closer than close” nagwink naman sya

“close friend mo sya? Is there any way you could tell him to stop answering my notes? Pero ok lang naman kung ayaw mo, that’ll be rude nga naman”

“yeah, I still attend night class para sa ibang back-subjects ko. Pero this Jayson won’t stop, he actually enjoys doing it. What’s between you both stays between the two of you, wala naman syang nalalabag na privacy policy” sinimangutan ko lang sya. Can’t he just do it and let Jayson decide?

“whatever basta ang importante hindi nga ikaw to. Sabi na kay Tal eh. Sya lang naman tong mapilit” tumawa ulit sya pero this time, yung totoong tawa na.
