"Thanks for the ride Gen Philip!" natatawa kong sabi habang bumababa sa motor nya. Pinanlisikan nya ko ng mata and I laughed hard.
"Eto na helmet mo, baka kalimutan mo nanaman" at naiabot ko sa kanya ang helmet
"Ah men! Why did you remind me. Wala na tuloy akong reason para pumunta rito tsk"
"Pektus you want?"
"Hahahaha just kiddin'"
"O sya next time ulit ha? Tricia enjoys our company again"
"Oo nga eh. Sige ingat ka" kumaway ako at humarurot ang andar ng motor nya.
Nga pala, walang tao sa bahay ngayon. I have my own spare key naman eh. So anong gagawin ko? Magluluto? Not a chance, hindi ako marunong magluto nakakahiya haha. Should I call for a fastfood deliver.
I open our gate then someone stands dun sa may gilid.
"Saia"
It was Isaiah. PInagpag nya yung pants nya at may kinuha sabay lapit sakin
"Isaiah? What are you..."
"I'm here to say sorry" he said in low voice
"Ha? Ah ano Isaiah you don't have to say----"
"I have to Saia!!"
Nagulat ako sa sinabi nya? He didn't have to do this. Bakit naman ganun sya?
May nilabas sya mula sa kamay nya na nakatago sa likod. It's a box.
"Here" he gave the box to me and I get it without even knowing what the hell is inside it.
"Open it"
Nung buksan ko I saw the cookies line up with a letters 'I-M-S-O-R-R-Y'
"You don't have to do this Isaiah" Mangiyak ngiyak kong sabi sa kanya
"I have to, I cause you more pain. I don't want to end our friendship just like that"
My smile fades as I hear the word 'friendship'. I look at him, he's smiling expecting me to smile back and accept his apology. I do accept his apology, actually he didn't really have to do that. I am the one who cause him trouble. I guess friends lang talaga kami. Should I accept that? Should I give up? Wag na umasa na may deeper relationship pa kami?
I smile at him bitterly at nakita ko sa kanya ang tuwa.
"YES!" He raised his fist at inakap ako
"Thank you Saia" he said habang yakap nya ako. Ako? Hindi na ako nakaimik, I guess eto na yun. Give up Saia this is the end.

"I made that all by myself"
"Weh? Sige tingnan natin. I eat the letter S while you eat the letter I" sabi ko at kinuha namin yung I at S.
"For Isaiah and Saia right?"
"Yup"
"Picturan natin" He said at nilabas ang phone nya. We're back to normal, I guess for him this is the case but for me it's not. But I don't want us to part ways dahil napaka self centered ko. He cares for me at napakalaking bagay noon para sakin, ayoko na malungkot sya dahil hindi ko sya pinatawad. Wala naman talaga syang kasalanan, ako lahat ang may kasalanan. Ako lang ang nag cause sa kanya kung bakit sobrang troubled nya. I act normal na abnnormal as I really used to. Para lang wala na syang alalahanin pa.
He was happy while eating.
"Ansarap naman nito" sabi ko at tumingin sa kanya
"Really? How was it?"
