Natapos ang kasalan nila Lemmor at Patricia, after ng usapan namin ni Lemmor hindi na ko bumalik sa loob hanggang sa natapos, we bid our goodbyes at nagkaniya kaniyang alis,
While on my way home may naisip ako, hindi ako didiretso sa Manila, i grab my phone and dial Sandra's number.
(What?) tanong ni Sandra, hindi ba to marunong magsabi ng hello?
"Hindi ako babalik ng Manila, magSL muna ko."
(WHAT?! HOY JHIRO! PANGTATLONG SICK LEAVE MUNA TO?! HANEP KA DUDE!)
"Tsss, wala kang pakialam kung gusto ko umabsent." inis na sagot ko, wala ako sa mood.
(Bakit ka nagagalit?! Concern lang naman ako sayo at sa kompanya niyo!) galit na sagot nito
"Wala kang pakialam saken, kaibigan lang kita!" sagot ko, saka ko inend ang call.
"Shit! I shoulve told her that..damn."
The truth is, i know what Sands trully feels for me, i know that she's inlove with me since we were child. Im not that dense para hindi ko maramdaman un. Kaya lang, hindi ko masuklian ang nararamdaman niya for me, she's my most beloved friend at ayokong masira ang friendship namin just because of that stupid love.
I care for her, of course. But its just that, i dont want to hurt her. Im afraid that once i open myself to her, i might hurt her just like my miserable past. I hurt Elisha thats why she left me. And i dont want that to happen with me and Sands, i just can't. Im not telling this because im inlove or something with Sands, she's just one of my precious rare treasure for me. My most beloved friend.
I park my car at the nearest parking here. Nandito ako ngayon sa dati namin university, nakaupo ako ngayon sa field, at tinatanaw ang malawak na kalangitan, ang daming stars, maya maya pa ay may naramdaman akong papalapit saken, lumingon ako at nakita ko siya, Elisha.
"What are you doing here?" tanong ko
"I dont know your here" sagot niya. "Reminiscing?" dagdag pa niya
"Just thinking."
"That's not so you." nakangiting sagot niya, napangiti ako, hindi ko alam pero namiss ko un mga ngiting un, that smile, that smile captured my stone heart. Before.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" tanong ko ulit.
"Wala lang naisip ko lang pumunta dito, ikaw?"
"I used to go in here whenver im feel alone remember?"
"So your alone?"
