Jema's POV

The film ended and I knew our little intimate moment is ending soon. It Wong was first to let go pero she gave my hand a little squeeze bago bitawan.

I don't know why pero every time she does things like this lumalakas yung tibok ng puso ko. Kelangan nga ba nagsimula yun? Ah! Di ko na maalala. Natatandaan ko lang na may times na lumalakas ng onte. Pero ngayon parang palakas ng palakas. Ano bang nangyayari na sakin?

Wong stood up without saying a word. What's new? Hahahaha! I was left to fold the blanket alone then gave it back to Pen. She kinda looks disappointed though. I know why naman. Inunahan sya ni Wong. Baliw talaga yung isang yun. "Date" pala namin ni Pen ha? Hahahah!

Okay rin na andito sila ni May. Super magiging uncomfortable ako at ma awkward kay Pen kung kaming dalawa lang. Tapos may blanket pala sya na dala. Whew!

You know what I realize? I'm not ready for anything yet. Lalo na with Pen. She's just and will always be a friend to me. So, I have decided to talk to her in a while.

Nauna si Wong naglakad palabas ng cinehan. Tumayo na rin si May, "Guys, Restroom lang ako ha?"

Pen and I nodded. Sumunod na rin naman kami ni Pen pero di kami nag restroom. We just stood in the corner para hintayin sila. Malamang nag restroom din si Wong. No where to be found eh.

I gathered my courage and started speeking, "Uhmm... Pen, I have to tell you something pero sana we will remain good friends parin."

Bilang lumungkot ang muka nya. I guess she knows where this is going. She didn't say a word so I continued. "I know what you're trying to do. I'm thankful sa lahat lahat alam mo yan. But I see you no more than a friend. You're a good person but I have to be honest with you, na I'm not ready for anything yet. Alam mo naman na kelan lang ang pinagdaanan ko. I can only hope na nothing will change between us."

Kung malungkot sya kanina, mas malungkot sya ngayon. This is the first time na I am seeing a side of Pen like this. Ayoko naman talagang makasakit, pero ayoko namang umasa sya sa wala. Ayokong maging unfair.

It took her a while to say something, "I understand. Sorry if I unconsciously pressured you sa mga ganitong bagay. I just want to let you know na I've liked you since day one. I didn't act on it kasi you were taken. And nung nawala na, I thought, this is my chance. Kaya medyo namadali ko ang lahat lahat. I won't lie, right now, nasasaktan ako and..."

Di na nya natapos sasabihin nya because I hugged her. I felt sad for her. Nasasaktan sya because of me.

"I'm sorry Pen. Di ko intention na saktan ka." A tear escaped my eye.

She hugged me back and spoke, "I know. Magiging okay din ako. Please, don't cry."

With that we let go of each other. Pen dried my tear using her thumb and we both smiled at each other.

Deanna's POV

I don't know what took over me today. I've been cock blocking Pen the whole time. Lalo na nung hinawakan ko ang kamay ni Jema. What the heck wad that?!

I don't get it. The only thing I am sure of is that it feels so right holding her hand.

I feel her eyes at me from time to time. I just wasn't looking at her kasi I don't want May and Pen to notice what's going on under the sheets.

Pagtapos ng movie, I was first to let go. Why? To be honest, I gathered all my strength to let go of her hand kasi kung di ko ginawa agad baka di ko na binitawan.
