Expectations vs. Realities (MayWard)

Wrong Love (Part 1)

A true story that has made me torn between my guy best friends. Ugh. Dibale, di niyo naman mababasa to. 😿

--

"Tol, samahan mo ako mamaya ha?" Marco said. Why do I have to, nanaman? Siya tong may gusto sa babae tapos pag makikipagmeet isasama pa ako.

"Nanaman? Kaya mo na yan." I told him. This guy's been one of my best friends​ for years now pero hindi parin siya nagbabago. He always needs someone to accompany him.

"Sige na, bro. Alam mo na. First time namin magmemeet di ko alam kung paano." He added. Oh come on.

"Tsss. Sige na. Go ahead. You like her in the first place, diba?" I insisted.

"Hindi ko na alam, pero baka hindi kami pala magclick pag personal na." There he goes again, overthinking, confusing me at the same time. Few days ago sabi niya gusto niya na, pero ngayon, ano?

"Alright, fine. Sige, sasama na ako." I said. Hay nako, para matapos na. Ewan ko ba kasi dito, ngayon lang makikipagmeet eh last, last week pa gusto nung babae na lumabas sila. The girl must've liked him so much already kaya nakulitan na siya para makipagmeet.

I hope not. I hope she hasn't fallen in love for him yet. I and our other girl best friend already know how this one ends. We know him too well. Hayyy.

"Thanks bro. Sige mamaya." He said tapos umalis na. Tignan mo to, talaga naman, oo.

He's always like that.

Ganyan yan, pag may bagong kilalang babae ikukwento niya agad sakin. Just like this new girl, again. He told me few weeks ago that she added this random girl sa Instagram. Wala silang mutual friends or anyone common that they know - it's just that we're in the same city and feed goals daw kasi. I don't even know what he's talking about kasi hindi naman ako nag-iInstagram. Pero knowing him, basta maganda yan, he will stalk and add her sa social media accounts.

That's what happened again this time. Alam ko na kasi yan. First, he'll start liking the girl's photos. Next, he'll comment praises, phrases of flattery at kahit mga simpleng emoji na pa-puso. Ayun, he'll start chatting the girl out of nowhere. If the girl replies, he's got another girl to a pick up whenever he's lonely.

Yes, that's just how it is. No attachment.

He has done this many many times before at oo, lagi nalang akong kasama pag may meet up siya. I don't actually like it but since matagal na kaming magkaibigan, nasanay nalang din ako. Maybe, I serve as an icebreaker whenever they reach a point na walang mapag-usapan. I'm not talkative naman but I'm sure I can easily converse with anyone. Iwas awkward silence, yun ang silbi ko. Well, sabi ko nga, I've been used to it.

I've known​ a lot of girls because of him too. Minsan nga nasasayangan ako kasi yung mga nagkakagusto sa kanya, yung mga babaeng tipo ko pa. Aminado naman ako, he's got the looks that's why it's easy for him to get those girls running after him. But yeah, whatever.

He showed me a photo of this new girl named Dale. I must admit, she's really beautiful. Not just pretty, but beautiful. May pagkakaiba yun. Well, nakwento niya na rin kahit basic information lang para siguro may maisip akong topic pag kailangan. He told me that she's a third year Architecture student - a course I've always wanted to take pero sometimes you don't get what you want. Anyway, I think she's really interesting. I'm excited to meet her.

"Tara na. Late na tayo, bro." Sabi ko. It's already past fifteen minutes. 6:15 pm na eh alas-sais ang usapan.

"Hayaan mo muna na mauna siya tol, kinakabahan ako." Sagot niya. What?! Is he going to let the girl wait again? Palagi nalang.
