LEEANNE’s POV

“Zeke, sabi ko naman sayo may lakad kami ni Ivan ngayon diba?”

“Ipagpaliban nyo na lang muna. Kailangan na natin mag-usap.” – Zeke

“Hey bro, we need to go now.” - Ivan

“Hindi. Leng, mag-usap tayo. Please?” – Zeke

“That’s it.” Sabi ni Vano at hinawakan ang kamay ko. “We’re leaving now.”

Nang medyo makalayo na kami kay Zeke, pinigilan ko sya sa paghila sakin.Kelangan na siguro naming mag-usap. Kelangan namin ng closure.

 “Ugh, Ivan… Siguro, sa susunod na lang tayo lumabas.”

“Are you nuts? Don’t tell me you’re going with that guy?”

“Sa tingin ko kasi, kelangan nga naming mag-usap.”

“Then what? Babalikan mo sya?”

“No. It’s not like that. I’m going to talk to him just to clear things up.”

“Don’t be silly Faye. We both know his agenda.”

“Oo nga. E hindi pa rin nga ako papayag sa gusto nyang mangyari.”

“Pano mo nasabi yan? At pano ako makakasigurong matatanggihan mo pa sya?”

“Ano… Just.. just trust me.”

“Fine. I’ll go now.” And there he goes. He left without looking back.

Yeah right. I broke his trust once, nung nakipagbalikan ako kay Zeke dati.

Sheep. Lalong bumigat yung pakiramdam ko.

Si Ivan... Wala na syang tiwala sa’kin.

“Come on.” Ivan spoke after almost a century of silence. He opened the door.

“Te...teka lang Vano. Pano yung...”

“Ano?”

“Uhm. Yung contract?”

“You told me to trust you.”

“Haa?”

“I’m holding on to your words. Don’t you get it?”

“Ganun na lang yun?”

“Ayaw mo ba?”

“HA?! Hindi naman sa ganun. Ano... Eh... kasi diba. Dati...”

“You told me to trust you so I’m going to trust you. End of conversation.” He said then left the room.

Napahiga na lang ako sa kama nya...

SHEEP. Bakit ganun. Nagtitiwala pa rin sya sakin.  Kahit na... Kahit na hindi ko napanindigan yung sinabi ko sa kanya dati.

Napabangon ako at sumuntok sa hangin.

“RIGHT. Hinding-hindi ko na sisirain ang tiwala mo sa’kin, Ivan!” I said confidently with flying colors.

“What are you doing?”

Si Ivan. Nakadungaw sya sa pinto. Okay. Pahiya na naman ako.

“Haa? Kanina ka pa ba dyan?”

“Food is waiting.” He said dryly.

“Coming!” I responded excitedly.

Lalabas na sana ko nang may nakakuha ng atensyon ko...
