Kung Di Rin Lang Ikaw (TAGLISH)

Let Go and Let God

I found Bren doing her thing. 

Drawing.

Yan ang paraan niya to distress herself.

Lumapit ako ng konti at nakita ko ang dinodrawing niya.

It was a beautiful scene; a girl na nakatalikod habang nakatingin sa dagat.

Agad ko syang hinalikan sa pisngi dahilan para mabitawan niya ang lapis.

"Missed me?"

"Liv!" at agad naman niya akong niyakap ng mahigpit. I can sense this girl has a lot to tell me.

Oo, iisa lang kami ng bahay ni Bren. 

I've been living with her for the past 4 years.

I immediately took the risk of living independently after I graduated from college.

By the way, di naman kami masyadong mahirap nor mayaman. Meron business ang family ko but I don't want to depend on that. 

Kaya naman I told my parents I'll live separately from them, naging supportive sila sa decision ko.

Anyway, Bren did the same thing. After she graduated, she told me she wants us to live together. 

Sino ba naman ako para tumangi sa bestfriend ko?

Isa pa, Bren is a registered medical technologist. Kaya, kampante akong aalagan ako neto! haha! 

"Liv, how's Batanes?" Asking me while scrolling through something on her phone.

"You should be there and see it for yourself. Batanes is a great place, lalo na doon sa Batan Island. Grabe ang ganda. Ayoko na nga umuwi eh."

She stopped scrolling through her phone at tumingin sa akin after I said that. And then back at her phone again.

"Kaso, merong isa dyan na iiyak iyak nung isang araw kaya eto, nandito nanaman ako sa Taytay"

"Sus, if I know di mo naman ako matiis." Oo nga tama sya, di ko sya matiis.

"Ano ba yang tinitignan mo sa phone mo.." Isa isa ko nalang na nilabas ang mga pasalubong na dala ko galing Batanes. 

"Here's what I was telling you about" while sitting next to me on her bed.

It was really a picture of William (his boyfriend) and another girl. 

Takteng William to o. May girlfriend na nga, nagdagdag nanaman ng isa.

"You know what? I'm tired of how William's treating you like trash. Would you please break up with him?" 

"no need to tell me that" bigla syang nahiga sa kama mula sa pagkaka-upo. "I already broke up with him"

Napalingon ako sa kanya "Di nga? totoo?"

"oo noh, pagod na rin ako. Tsaka, I have alot of things to do other than problemahin ang lalaking yan." sabi niya while writing something in the air. If i'm not mistaken, she's writing the words "Let Go and Let God"

I turned to Bren and as if on cue, we hugged each other.

"You know what, forget about him. Tama, better think of other things instead. Andito pa naman ako, and i'll always be here for you no matter what. Kaya eto," handling her with all the pasalubong I bought for her. "I know you'll love these"

"Thanks Liv. Di ko alam anong gagawin ko pag wala ka."

I love Bren. She's like a sister to me. And I can't afford seeing her unhappy. Kaya kahit anong hilingin niya, ibibigay ko hanggat kaya ko.
