Telling You A Story (Editing)

Third Speech

Maybe keeping my feelings was the only way. Gusto kong sabihin sayo lahat pero nang makita ko ang mga mata mong punong puno ng pag-asa, I simply nodded. That's what I should do, anyway. Pumayag akong ligawan mo ang kapatid ko. Sino ba ako para humindi, di ba?

I am your bestfriend.

Or maybe I was.

Hindi kita iniwasan o iniwan kahit tinotorture mo ko sa kada kwento mo tungkol kay Ate. Kasi role ko yunㅡang suportahan ka. Kahit feeling ko, minsan nananadya ka na, push pa din.

One time, nanaginip ako tungkol sa'yo. I woke up crying. Alas tres na pala ng madaling araw. Bumaba ako just to see my sister talking to her ex. At nasundan pa yun ng ilang beses. Nadinig ko na willing siyang balikan 'yon.

I was stuck between telling you or keeping this all by myself. Ayokong putukin ang happy bubble mo. But when I saw her kissing her ex outside our house. I have decided. I should tell you. Pero inunahan mo ko sa balitang kayo na. Nagulat ako. Niyugyog mo pa ko nang makita ang reaksyon ko.

'Oy. Neslie. Wala man lang congrats?!'

Nang mabalik ako sa ulirat, hinila kita sa likuran ng school. Para aminin lahat. Walang tao dun. Tayo lang. It took me minutes before I had the courage to start. With eyes closed and fingers crossed, I told you everything. Maliban sa fact na gusto kita, syempre. Pero hindi ka naniwala sa akin. For the first time, you didn't believe me. You didn't trust me. You walked away calling me a liar.

Why..

In just a snap..

Why did you ruin our friendship?
