"Son... Go to my office room." Sabi ni papa at lumabas ng kwarto ko.
I followed him into his office room and I was fucking nervous about the next topic. I know what will be our topic and it's for that stupid wedding!
"Papa?" Tanong ko nung makapasok na kami sa office niya.
He smiled at me.
"I'm so proud of you son, but I'm wondering, are you really happy just like what you said in Carter's residence?"
"Honestly papa, I'm literally not. No. And never will be." Sabi ko na ikinatawa ni papa.
"Why not? You were best friends since you were a kid--"
"Pa, kid. Bata pa kami nun, and everything changes because not all things are permanent. Tss."
"Hey! Dahan dahan ka sa pananalita, yes not everything are permanent but atleast you have tried what does it feel right?"
"Yeah. And I wish I never felt it." Sabi ko kaya natawa si papa.
"Tell me... Is there any possibility na magustuhan--"
"No."
"Okay."
Natahimik kami ni papa at hindi ako mapakali dahil sa intensidad na nararamdaman ko. I am fucking frustrated.
Naiinis ako sa trabaho because they are not accepting my proposal kahit na majority ang babasehan, but still kahit nag iisa lang ang hindi pumayag, mas sinunod parin ang gusto niya.
Fucking favoritism.
Tapos sasabay pa sa problema ko yung pagpapakasal dyan kay Sevvie, fuck, I hate her so much. Since we were a kid wala ng ginawang maganda sakin.
Lahat nalang, ikakasakit ko.
"You seemed so stressed? Sita sakin ni papa kaya napabuntong hininga ako.
I made a decision, hindi ko nga lang alam kung papabor ba si papa. Anyways, bago naman ako naging engineer pinapili naman kung saan ko ba gusto.
"Actually pa... I have a decision." Sabi ko kaya napatingin sakin si papa. Goosebumps.
"Ano?"
"Can I accept that offer now?" Sabi ko kaya biglang gumuhit ang malawak na ngiti sa kanyang labi.
"Of course son... That's what more I like."

"Did you two fight?" Tanong sakin ni Belle nung makalapit siya sakin.
"Ni?"
"Ow c'mon! It's too obvious, what did you two talk about?"
"I'm... Really sorry Reobelle."
Napabuntong hininga siya ng malalim at tiningnan ako ng blanko sa mata. Ni minsan ay hindi ako tiningnan ni Belle ng ganito kaya kinakabahan ako.
"So it's true? Hindi mo kami tanggap?"
"No! Hindi naman sa ganun--"
"Then what Dhara?! I treated you as my best friend but what did you do? Hindi mo pala talaga kami tanggap? I'm sorry to say this pero isa kang napakalaking... Plastic. Kaya naman pala kahit si Raven galit sayo." Matigas niyang sabi sakin.
"Trinato din naman kitang kaibigan Belle! At hindi ako plastic!" Sigaw ko at iniwan siya.
Nasa likuran kasi kami ng canteen at alam kong walang ibang tao dun kundi kami lang. Fuck!
