My one true love

Chapter #16: Unknown feelings

"Jusko. Sige na nga, si Maine girlfriend mo sya nung college. Alam mo bang lagi kaming nilalanggam dahil sa kasweetan nyo? Tas nakipag-break sya syo after several years. Napamahal sya sayo ng sobra sobra, kaya nung isang araw, hiniwalayan kanya ng walang dahilan, hindi mo natanggap, hindi ka nakapag move on."

Je took a sip from his wine.

"Pero, sino pa bang niloloko natin? Matatanggap mo rin ba kung hiwalayan ka nya ng biglaan at walang dahilan?"

I just starred at them.

"Huy! Si Madam oh!"

Kristoffer said while pointing at the door, revealing 3 girls and a boy. Je and Kristoffer waved at them then they went to our table.

"Jun!"

"Mga tol, Alden! Matagal kang nawala ah!"

I just smiled at him. Je stood up and whispered.

"Nagka-amnesia yang si paps, kaya take it easy."

Rodjun nodded then introduced himself.

"Sorry, ako si Rodjun, isa sa mga best friends mo nung high-school."

We both did a hand-shake then they started introducing me to the girls.

"Hi, I'm Dianne Medina, Rodjun's fianće."

Then we both shaked hands.

"Hello, Den! Ako si Valeen Montenegro, girlfriend ni Jerald."

Another handshake.

"Alden, I'm Joyce Ching, Kristoffer's girlfriend."

And another. Then I saw the last girl sigh.

"I'm Maine Mend—"

"Maine?"

I stood up and hugged her. Our friends exchanged glances, and that's when I felt akward.
Hindi ko pa nga sya kilala, pero ung puso ko kilalang-kilala na sya.

"N-nakikilala mo ko?"

She nervously asked. I pulled away then apologized.

"I'm sorry, nabigla din ako sa nagawa ko."

"It's okay."

"Maupo na kyo dito!"

Je said. Everybody sat down and started chatting.

"Bes, paano ka kaya naalala ni Alden? Samantalang kami hindi?"

Dianne asked.

"Malay ko dyan."

"Ang tawag dyan, heart to heart. Baka nakilala ka ng puso nya."

Valeen said.

"Ano ba kayo? Meron talagang ganon?"

The girls all nodded.

"Edi kayo na! Basta ako, ayaw kong makagulo ng tao. Happy na ko sa life ko."

"Kahit break na kyo ni Isaac?"

"Jusko. As if minahal ko sya?"

"Hindi ba?"

"Hindi! Tingin talaga nya na papayag ako makipag- long distance relationship sakanya?"

"Ay, wow naman. Ang haba ng hair mo ano?"

I just starred at Maine while they chat.

"Huy, papi Alden!"

"Huy! Wag kang nanggugulat!"

"Baka matunaw na si Maine sa kakatitig mo sakanya. Bakit ka ba kasi titig ng titig sakanya?"

"I don't know. Sa totoo lng, hindi ko sya kilala, pero parang may naramdaman akong kakaiba sakanya kanina."

"Ano un?"

"Tsk... I don't know either."
