"Ang bastos lang ng ugali nyo guys." Den said at tumayo ito papunta sa terrace nila Bang. She saw Alyssa and Bang.
"Kung tumingin si Bang sa kanya. There's something." She saw na nagasaran pa ang dalawa
"Damn it. Why are you making me Jealous all the time na there are girls near you. Damn you Aly." Dennise said to herself.
"Ehem." She suddenly cleared her throat nung nakita niyang hinalikan ni Aly sa ulo sa Bang.
"Oh Dennise." Bang said
"I came here to apologize in behalf of my friends. Im sorry. They shouldn't judge you." Dennise said sincerely while looking at Alyssa's eyes.
"It's fine. Okay lang saakin. Naiintindihan ko naman." Alyssa said and gave her a half smile.
"Wtf Aly. Bakit ka kinakabahan Alyssa said to herself.
"Sheila. Your Mom's calling you." A lady told Bang.
"Iwan ko muna kayo Dennise ha." Bang said.
Dennise stood beside Alyssa.
"Bakit ang lungkot mo?" Dennise asked
"Ha? Wala ito." Aly said and again she gave Dennise a half smile.
May dumaan naman na server at kumuha si Den ng dalawang beer.
"So tell me. Why are you sad." Den asked
"It's not that Im sad for myself. It's just that im sad kasi there are people who's being judgmental eh hindi naman nila alam yung reason at buong pagkatao ng tinatapakan nila." Alyssa said and she drink on her beer.
"I think there's nothing wrong about being an informal settler. Lugar lang yun. And as long as na may tirahan at hindi ginagalaw nung may ari ng lupa. I think it's fine. Usual na sistema natin. Kaya hanggang ngayon sobrang dami pading naghihirap." Alyssa smiled
"Abogado ka siguro. Ang galing mong magsalita."
"Graduating." Dennise said and she looked at Alyssa.
Alyssa stared a bit at Den's eyes.
"Bakit ang lungkot ng mga mata mo?" Alyssa asked. Dennise shifted her gaze.
"Wala to no. Puyat lang ako last night." Dennise said and she smiled. Pero hindi ito abot hanggang mata.
"You know you can tell me naman." Alyssa said.
"Well. A typical Brat like me. Lahat nakukuha, maldita, spoiled at kung ano ano pang pwedeng itawag saakin. Lahat naman kasi ng bagay nakukuha ko. But when it comes to my Family. Well it's like eto yung pinakamahirap hilingin sa kanila. Yung Pagmamahal and Attention. I grew up with my Yaya. My parents are busy with their works. Until my siblings came. Justine and Mosh. Well masaya ako with them but my life's still incomplete. My Grandparents are manipulating me. Sobrang hirap kasi para akong robot na kinokontrol lang nila. They pushed me to take polsci at ituloy ito sa law school. Pero hindi naman ako masaya. I wanted to be a doctor pero hindi ko magawa because of them." Dennise sudden outburst.
Alyssa went near to her.
"Im here." Alyssa said and she rubbed Den's back.
"Really? We just met." Den said and napatawa ito ng bahagya.
"We can be friends?" Alyssa asked
"Uhm pag iisipan ko?" Dennise said.
"Sige na. Baka umiyak ka pa." Den added. Napatawa naman si Alyssa.
"Pero seriously. I never felt enough." Den said.
"You're more than enough. Siguro hindi nila nakikita yung worth mo. So kahit kakakilala ko lang sayo. Nakikita ko yung worth mo. Hindi ka dapat nalulungkot ng ganyan. Your eyes need sparks. Yung parang diamond. If your eyes will smile like your lips. I would be the happiest person in the universe!" Alyssa said.
