Bea’s POV:
I sipped on my cup of coffee, ahhh this is so refreshing. I checked my phone for countless of time now, hoping to see his name on it on the new messages list. Its been days since the Game 2 finals -which-everybody-knows-what-the-outcome was. I know he is upset, but I didn’t understand why he is keeping me on the waiting game again. After there loss I expected him to meet me on our usual spot, to talk things and just let me comfort him. But the invitation didn’t come, instead I saw Billie’s comforting post for him with their photo with it. I must say I am hurt, more of afraid of what might his silence towards me would bring us.
“Hey! You ok? Ang lalim ng buntong hininga ah.”
It was Mich, pinatong niya ang mga libro niya sa study table nitong dorm and pull a chair at inakbayan ako.
“He’s been silent. I mean, walang text or call since the championship.”
“I wonder who among the Men’s Basketball team you are talking about. Pero whoever he is I am sure he is too affected about the loss, 2 weeks na pero di parin nagpaparamdam sayo. Sa tingin mo, ano reasons niya?”
Yeah, Mich have the idea already that the one I am seeing is part of the AMBT, siyempre maliban kay Cole.
“I don’t know, ayaw ko na rin isipin kung ano ang reasons niya.”
“Nakakatakot ba kung saan ka dadalhin ng pag iisip mo?”
“Sobra Mich, sobra sobrang takot, parang yung dibdib ko puro lang takot.”
She put her palm on my chest and smiled.
“Hey, this is #heartstrong right? Keep it that way, give him time, pero kung sa tingin mo sobra na yung time maybe ikaw na ang gumawa ng way. And be ready to be #heartstronger kung ano man ang mangyari.”
“Mich, I don’t know if I can bear the second heartbreak with him.”
Namilog ang mata niya and her jaw literally dropped. Put her hand on it.
“Bei, again? Why? I mean, pinagpapalit mo si Cole para bumalik kay Thirdy? I know it is wrong to do that to Cole, but knowing now that it is because of Thridy. I don’t know, oh gosh!”
I bow my head and tears started flowing. Naramdaman ko nalang na niyayakap niya ako at hinahagod ang likod ko.
“Sorry, sorry. Pero kung mahal mo talaga eh. Who am I to judge you, diba?.”
I looked at her and I can say that she somehow understands me.
“Would you promise to keep it just between the two us? Di ko na kasi talaga kaya na sarilinin lang lahat. Sasabog na ako.”
“Oo naman. Knowing how angry the girls to him, yeah, ikaw na ang bahala anytime na ready kana to tell them, naiintindihan kita.”
I hugged her again. I can’t be more thankful for a friend like her.

Cole’s POV:
Looking at her, alam ko na iniisip niya nanaman si Thirdy. Basically alam ko na ang nangyayari, They’ve been hiding, si Thirdy may Billie at ako umaasa sa kanya. Si Thirdy ayun, after the loss to La Salle two weeks ago has been more open to public about his relationship with Billie,photos of them are circulating the internet. And it would not take a brainer to know that again he left Bea for Billie. Honestly I am happy that it did happened, siguro na realized na ni Thirdy na hindi naman talaga sila ni Bea ang para sa isa’t isa. I don’t know what he is up to, leaving Bea hanging again. But I must thank him somehow. Maybe this time Bea would realized that the only man who will never leave her despite everything is right here sitting with her in this library.
“Hay!!”
“Ang lalim nun Bei, problem?”
She looked at my way and in split second I saw a hint of sadness in her eyes. I wanted to hug her right there and then, but I don’t want her to have an idea that I know what she is going through, mas maganda na hindi niya alam na alam ko, baka mas makaisip siya na unffair sa akin ang mga nangyari at mag decide na iwan ako. No, hindi ko kaya, ayaw ko. Mas handa ako magtiis kesa mawala siya sa akin.
