“dad I can explain” I raised my both hands. Nakatutuk parin silang tatlo sa akin. Akala mo magnanakaw ako. Si
matty inis na inis sa nakita niya. Si mama naman worried ang mukha si daddy naman namumula. Naku baka ako pa
ang maging dahilan ng highblood niya.

“you were supposed to be in your room…” ganyan si daddy. Oa na nanay. Si
mommy naman hinahawakan niya si daddy baka uminit ang ulo niya sa akin. “she was supposed to be in her bedroom,
whats wron with her? I saw her last night she is on her bedroom” hahaha para siyang maloloka sa akin.

“where were you May?” tanong ni Matty. Concerned naman si mommy and I took out some pancakes on the table. I
can resist it. I love pancakes “don’t you dare eat that! You have to answere me” my father literally raised his voice…
“relax honey its fine we should take it slowly…” sabi ni mama.

“I think im inlove mom”
“what?” they both sing it in churros. Para silang mga galit na galit na lion. Na shock talaga sila sa akin. “and who
is that boy again?” my mom questioned me. “Jonah Jame Castle and Im going to invite him to our house is that ok?”

Asus ah bigla silang nag argue. Para silang mga manok sa sabungan. Ang ingay nila. Yun palang nasasabi ko. Galit nag
alit na sila. “what did I tell you May. I warned you” pagalit na sianbi ni Matty. “what- what?” sabay tanong ng mga
parents ko. “Jonah is the one who caused her limping body last 2 months, she did not recover yet she still hangs out
with that freaking playboy.”

“oh my gosh is that true?” my mom added “I think I saw that boy in the hospital. He seems so sorry for what
happened. His father payed the hospital bill.” My father took back the argument. “he seems to be a nice boy”. Ako
naman nanlaki ang mata ko sa saya. May maganda naman palang impression si Jonah sa family ko. “my goodness daddy
why you didn’t mention anything?” na curious tuloy ako.

“Sabi ng tatay niya sekreto nalang. His family is rich, more than we know. They seem to have a multinational
company owning more riches. And they have humbled themselves.”

Napatango nalang kami. Hindi kami makapaniwala sa sinabi ni Daddy. Hindi lang kami sanay na kanina galit siya
ngayon iba na naman ang awra niya. I looked to Matty. Na feel ko na hindi siya comfortable. Ngungiti siya pero
something is holding him back. I don’t know why, but there is sadness in his eyes. I was so foolish not to notice it first.
We started discussing my plan. I really enjoyed it. I shared what I did today. Matty was there too listening. But he
seems so silent with us. My Parents both agreed to let Jonah to join our dinner tomorrow.

Hindi ko na napansin si Matty enjoy na enjoy ako sa aming breakfast. When we finished our food we agreed to
swim in our pool at the back yard. Just me and my best friend Matty.

He started to talk taking off his shirt and his pants. My eyes went big! At napanganga ako sa kanya. Now he is
exposing his male skin to me. He didn’t have a nice abs but just enough to make go nuts on him. “why are stripping
right in front of me?”talagang naiinis ako noong sinabi koi yon. Hindi ko alam kung sasabunutan ko siya or susuntukin.

“so whats wrong? You’ve seen me naked since birth.” Aba pilosopo pa siya. May whats wrong pa siya. Ano baa ng
gusto niyang patunayan sa akin? “I tell you what, teen agers na tayo. Babae ako at lalake ka. Hindi na tayo bata. At may
mga bagay na dapat hindi na natin pinapakita.” Siya naman ngayon ang uminit ang ulo. Naka shorts lang siya sa harap
ko at tumalon na sa pool. “oh come on May, as if attracted ka sa akin. Hindi ka naman mahihiya kung makikita mo
akong ganito. Since tingin mo lang sa akin ay big brother mo.” ako naman ang naiinis. What is his deal now, ano bang
plano niya? manggigil ako sa kanya at mag away kami na parang bata.

Umupo ako sa sofa bed naming sa pool. Im not in the mood swimming. I don’t know why. But I really wanted to
question Matty of what he thinks about Jonah. Hindi niya pinapakita sa akin ang mga emotions niya. hindi rin siya
nagsasalita kanina ng mga iniisip niya. im really that curious of what is going on in his mind. Parang siyang napapalayo
sa akin habang lumalapit naman si Jonah sa akin. Iniisip ko ang mga mangyayari.

Napaisip din ako, paano kung bigla
isang araw hindi na kami magka usap. He is living next to my house. Ang bintana ng kwarto niya ay nakaharap sa akin.
We almost share our secrets. Araw araw kaming nagkikita at halos hindi na magkalayo ang bahay namin.

Best friend kami mula elementary at high school. I cant afford to lose him. kailangan kong malaman kung ano ang
iniisip niya. “hey MAtty ano bang iniisip mo at ang lalim ng tingin mo kanina”
tumigil siya sa pag swimming and he
gets up from the pool. He looks to me again at kinuha ang towel binalot niya ito sa kanyang katawan. Naglakad siya
papunta sa akin. Akala ko deadma nalang ako sa sinabi ko sa kanya. And I really don’t know what’s going on in his big head.

“May, I was there for you when you needed me. I was there since fifth grade that you had your first period. You
cried a lot in the toilet. I was there for you when you lost your bag in the bus and you forgot your assignment. We took
our first night out. Kasama kita kahit hindi ka na pinapansin ng kaklase natin.
Kasama kita kahit tahimik ka lang and I
do all the chatting. When I wake up in the morning, I always check up on you. Baka ma late ka sa school. Pag nagkaroon
ka ng sakit ako minsan nagbabantay sayo. May problem aka sa math at English ako ang personal tutor mo. Is that so
hard for you to understand? Im always here for you” I saw his eyes, he tries to contain his emotion. Na feel ko ang
sinasabi niya. mula yun sa kanyang inner self. Its all true, hindi ko napapansin. Pero lahat ng sinabi niya ay tagos sa
puso ko.


“so what do you mean?” bumalik siya sa sarili niyang acting. I know im a bit rude, but I cant answere my best
friend. Im afraid to lose him and yet im inlove with Jonah. Its so complicated. “you do know what it means May”
tumalikod siya at pumasok ulit sa bahay. I guess nagbihis na siya. Ang answere nga ba ay Yes?

Iyon na ng aba ang sagot sa tanong ko kung attracted siya sa akin….

Pero hindi ko na gustong buklatin, kung masama nga lang ang ending. Hindi ko na babasahin…
