A Letter to Him

Eliminate unwanted feelings

"Word is spreading fast that you can drive, but they'll be suspicious of a newcomer. Give them something to talk about; start mixing it up with the cops. There are 5 police mobile along the way, and you are given 3 mins to give a good impression. Got to hit the road now." Said the girl on the navigation screen.

"Hey hey hey! Take it easy bro. I just had this car customized! Oh my $200,000 baby Lamborghini!" Sabi ni Andrew na parang masiraan ng ulo.

"Oops. Sorry bro. Pero di naman need ng maintenance every race di ba? Kahit nga ma'total wreck na, gwapo pa din yang baby mo." Bawi ko na lang sa kanya.

"Kahit na. You have to make up for that damage! Pa'pizza ka naman bro." Sabay ngiti na parang walang di nagreklamo kanina.

"Oo nga naman, pa'pizza ka naman, malapit na mag graduate eh!" Bati samin ni Gab.

"Oh, bakit andito ka?" Biglang seryoso na muka bungad ni Andrew kay Gab

"Wala lang. Di naman ikaw yung pinunta ko. Etong si Mr. Superman." Kindat sakin.

"Tss. Superman. Baka nga di mo alam kung ano name nun eh." Pang asar pa ni Andrew.

"Pinapahaba mo lang usapan." Masungit na sagot kay Andrew. "Ano na, ano nangyari kagabi?" Sakin naman nashift ang usapan.

"Last night? Were you that drunk?" Alam ko naman kung ano ibig nya sabihin, pero pa'inosente na lang.

"Nakooo! Nako nakooo! Ako pa ba ang malasing? Magka'dugo nga kayong dalawa." At ang signatured nyang pamewang.

"Kayo ni Krizzy, magkadugo ba kayo? Kambal nga kayo, pero ibang dugo dumadaloy sayo, bruha neto." Pagalit pero alam naming biro lang na pananalita ni Andrew.

"To be honest, we talked about some few changes that happened to us. Maybe, since highschool."

At natigil na nga ang duet. "Yun na yon. I don't want to make some big deal out of it. Kaya let's just all hope for the best."

Conversation killer, I know. Pero yun naman talaga. If I'll keep attracting negative thoughts, all negative feeling will sure drown me to depression.

Couple of days later.

Naisipan ni mom na bisitahin sina Krizzy sa coffee shop nila.

"Titaaaa!" Excited na bati ni Krizzy sa mom ko. Halata naman siguro.

"Krizzy baby," Yes. Mom calls almost all of my girl friends, babies. "I think I forgot my scarf here, my dear, galing pa yon ng Prague."

"You were here just yesterday?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"Yes, tita. Tinago nga po agad ni Tanya sa office nung maisip nya na sayo yun." Both of them were ignoring me, really.

"Mom? What's special with Prague, anyway?" Deadma. Excited makipag kwentuhan kay Krizzy.

"Iho, can you get it for me? Thank you baby.." I'd rather obey than hear my mom call me by that name again.

Sa office. I knocked.

Oh yes, of course, si Tanya nag open ng door.

"Uhm. Mom wants to get her scarf." I can't look at her straight in the eye.

"Ah, tama pala. Pasok ka muna." She lead the way inside the office.

There is silence while she gets the scarf inside the drawer. And hand it to me.

"Mm, about.."

"It's okay. You don't need to explain." I assumed.

"About pizza night that the guys came up with..?" She looks puzzled.
