Crossing the Line

CHAPTER IX

Jessey: mom, have you seen my phone? Nagtext po ba si Mika?

Mrs.de Leon: nilagay ko sa drawer mo at wala naman syang text, how's school?

Jessey: super busy po as usual, lalo ngayon volleyball, but I'm having so much fun :)

Mrs.de Leon: that's great :) how about friends?

Jessey: I have two, mom am I allowed to have a crush? :)

Mrs.de Leon: haha it's normal baby, wag mo lang paparinig sa daddy mo :) why don't you invite your friends to have dinner with us some time

Jessey: sure, uhm he's so cute and nice :)

Mrs.de Leon: why don't you invite him also?

Jessey: haha nah, seatmate ko lang sya we're not friends

Mrs.de Leon: ang baby ko, she's growing up

Jessey: mom? Are you crying?

Mrs.de Leon: I'm sorry baby

Jessey: for what?

Mrs.de Leon: I don't know you're growing up, at masaya lang ako na nakaadjust ka na, I just want the best for you

Jessey: oh mom (hugs)

Jolas: na naman? Sa tuwing nakikita ko kayo nag-iiyakan at nagyayakapan kayo

Ang di alam ni Jessey, napag-usapan ng Mommy nya at mommy ni Mika na hanggat maaari iiwas muna nila sa isa't isa. Hindi naman paglalayuin, lilimitahan lang. Para makaadjust si Jessey at para di maging masyadong dependent si Mika kay Jessey at lumawak din ang mundo nito. Sometimes to grow, you have to grow apart.

Mika: oh god, your plan was hilarious hahaha you're a genius

Carol: go on, I'm listening

Carol: no problem, don't mess with Mika Reyes haha

Mika: eh dahil din naman sa tulong mo yun

Carol: ganun talga, what's the use of friendship?

Mika: yea, you're right :)

Flashback

Sa classroom

Peter: wala bro talo na tayo (bulong nito)

Martin: langya kasi

Mika: (biglang dumating si Mika) hi Martin :)

(bago pumasok ay sinigurado ni Mika na magandang maganda sya)

Martin: (napatunganga) ang ganda mo

Mika: salamat :)

Martin: (tumingin ito kay Peter at ngumisi, tumingin din sya kay Yosseff sa di kalayuan na para bang sinasabing mananalo na saya sa pustahan at nagsalita) Mika, sorry inaamin ko mali yung ginawa namin at ideya yun ni Kris, nung una laro lang pero (biglang nilakas ang boses para marinig ng buong klase) nafall ako sayo at alam kong may gusto ka din sakin

Mika: :) sorry dahil lahat yun ay pagpapanggap ko lang, wala akong gusto sayo at kailan man di ako magkakagusto sa tulad mo, and sorry I'm not sorry :)

End

Mika: pero paano mo naisip yun? Ang galing

Carol: ang totoo nyan di ko siguradong magwowork yun, masuwerte ka
