GREG
“Ba’t kasi di ka sumama sa kanila nung nagpa-late sila?---”
“Ayoko nga. That will be really obvious.” I muttered.
“Kaya nagmumukmok ka dyan ngayon ha?” And nudged me with his elbow.
Nandito kami sa loob ng bus ngayon.
At kami lang ni Zach ang magkasama sa upuan.
Pano ba naman kasi, Kinun-tsaba ni Wilson si Fourth.
Magpalate daw sila para makasakay sila sa bus ng Charity.
Tch Desperado---
Inggit naman ako.
BV.
“Okay lang yan, we’re going to meet them pagdating sa retreat house. 2 hours lang naman yung byahe. Be patient---” Patuloy na pangiinis ni Zach.
“Dude, wag ka magmalinis. If I know, naiinggit ka din sa kanila.” I mocked.
“Greg. I told you to stop talking---”
“Right right. Sorry.”
Mukha talagang na-offend siya sa sinabi ko.
“But seriously pare, how do you handle it?” I asked seriously.
“Handle what?”
“You know, that thing. Between you and her... with Fourth?” I said – quite uncertain with the words I used.
“Greg, it’s just them. It’s just always them. I’m out of the picture, you see.”He explained.
“But---”
Greg's Flashback
“So Joey likes Zach.” I finished.
“Yeah... That’s what I know... And the way I see it.”
Of course, I know na masakit para kay Fourth yun.
Pero mali parin eh.
Kahit sang anggulo natin tignan mali yung ginagawa niya.
“Pero pare, you couldn’t be like this.” I said. “This is unfair for Zach and also for Joey---”
“I know. I know---”
“Pero you’re still doing this. This is nonsense---”
“Alam ko kung ano yung ginagawa ko Greg. Hayaan mo ko---”
“Hayaan? Papabayaan kitang gawin ‘to? Fourth this is---”
“Maybe this thing will both help them comprehend their feelings for each other.” He said. “I know, they’re both opaque. Kahit sabihin pa natin na alam ko na yung feelings nila para sa isa’t isa. Still, hindi pa rin nila yun napapaalam at inaamin sa isa’t isa.”
“What do you mean?---”
“Wag tayong manguna.”
